Oh another thing....indoors vs outdoors. Should the buildings have their interiors seamless with the world (like Rogue Survivor and DF) or should the doors transport you into a different zone. You can do more detail with the teleport, but there's plenty of disadvantages too.

This sort of thing must be seamless - shooting through windows, seeing who's inside, etc.

[rawr359]

I think it should be as seamless as possible. Districts would of course teleport, but for the most part the things within the district should be seamless.

Postan to watch, and contribute later on.

[Saint]

Saint drew quick generic handgun for HUD/ invantory. purposes.
Working at 64x64 currently.
Would prefer using 32x32 but w/e this works I just need to get used to the size again.

[Kusgnos]

Made a random sprite, 64x64. Should I continue making them in that size, or do 32x32?

Also, if the style doesn't fit, or if there are any changes to the image as required (darker image, different eye style, whatever), please tell me. This particular sprite is bald, in generic convict fashion.

[Josephus]

I wanna help with spritan. At work right now, so I can't do much, but when I get home I can submit stuff.

[rawr359]

Sprites are probably the only thing I can't give my valued input for, since I prefer ASCII.

[Cthulhu]

64x64 is big as hell.  We're not gonna be able to have very many tiles on screen if we go that big.

If we go too much smaller though, you won't be able to tell what anything is.

That's why I prefer ASCII.

[Josephus]

32x32 is my preferred.

I wonder if this could work in Isometric view like GearHead2 or Stonesense. More work for spriters, though.

I wish I could help with this project more then just suggesting ideas.
Anyway, besides shooting though windows, how about shooting though wood?

[Jack A T]

32x32 spread and smudged pool of blood.

Shooting through walls in general. Weapons should have a penetration factor (1, 2, 3), as should walls and body armor. For example, a .22 rifle would have a penetration factor of 1, meaning that it can't punch through body armor (factor 2) or wood (factor 1) or walls (factor 3). Fists would have a penetration factor of 0. And so on.

Yeah, I think we're downsizing the 64 ones to 32. And I much prefer ASCII as well--been playing pretty much every single roguelike in ascii, because it's more comfortable, and doesn't randomly suffer from weird graphics.

I think Jack A T's bloodstain looks too wispy. Just do a splatter, maybe?

[Cthulhu]

Yeah, I like the pixel-style better.  What Kusgnos has looks good although it needs transparency.

Well, maybe as you go up in Strength your fists get higher penetration factors? Hell, people who go to martial arts can break through fucking bricks. So maybe at highest strength you can punch through walls, but it alerts people in the area and slightly damages your fists?

Anyway, why was I not there? In short, very, very busy today. I won't go into details but this is the first time I get to relax today. I'm very sorry for missing the first Dev session.

Now, what did we cover today? I want to know what topics to go over tomorrow and what to work on and such. As well, I think my position would best be fit as a organizer-I can't be a website hoster(Maybe a blogspot until/if we get a website up and going). Truly sorry for missing the first Dev Session. I'm a terrible artist/not the best at coding, so I think I'd like to do the organizing. Ie. who does what, what we're going to work on, etc. We shouldn't focus on the big picture, just incremental steps. We should determine who's good at what and how good at it, so we can assign 'assignments'. I hate to use the term, but SOMEONES going to have to take up random generation, won't they?
