It's time for toaster's titanic technological triumphs (slow internet warning)

Completely reworked paddles!
 
Far more reliable than polyobjects and still looks quite nice to boot!
 
I was wondering when will you show progress of that stage, but I didn't expect something like that. Looks interesting, keep it up.
 
I suppose all your work could go towards making an official casino-themed level (not saying that it's going to happen, only that it is feasible).

And great job, all this stuff is really neat.
 
Well, I do have friends in high places... but it's best not to let those flights of fancy distract me. I've still got other gimmicks and some enemies to code, let alone the fact that I've barely started this map's geometry.

I am a goddess, yes, but a lot of this is hacky and needs cleaning up before I'd consider it acceptable quality. One step at a time.

(but also d'aww thx you guys)
 
I dramatically prefer the older GIF's perspective, letting you see directly which direction you're going to fire.
 
Thanks for the input. I'm sorry I haven't been able to convince you that the second .gif's camera is more appropriate- the intent is to have a Donkey Kong Country (Returns) style cutaway vew introducing important elements like the pinball table and [other gimmick redacted].

I am going to add a visible trail to indicate the precise direction the player will travel, and hopefully that would be enough to solve your issue with the second camera- but if you still don't agree further into development reverting the new camera is as simple as commenting out one line of code, so that's still an option at a later date.

Holy shit... That looks awkward and good at the same time... It's fucking with my mind....

Congrats sir, you have just fucked my mind.

On a serious note, this look really realistic from the usual checker board design. I would love to use this in levels packs (considering everyone uses GFZROCK everywhere in the first zone)
 
*ma'am.

also it's basically just Azure Lake's wall texture scaled up four times and smoothed around the corners. It was a test to see whether this alternative pattern was appropriate for GFZ; many people responded similar to how you did, so I won't go much further with this for now. Just keep in mind, though- if you want to use it you probably shouldn't spend the first part of your post insulting it.

Fair deuce.

Also, I've just been asked by Iceman to make my topic more accessible to people with terrible internet by making all my gifs links. I am begrudgingly compromising by leaving the most interesting .gif on a page in image format and linking all the others, and placing a slow internet warning in the title. Hopefully this will satisfy neither of us, as all good compromises do. <3
