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

Ice physics experiments!

Will Tails finally be ignoring these things while running as well too?
I mean, considering he doesn't touch the ground.

That would be a very interesting mechanic. It'd be fun to make him even more "easy mode" that way, but it'd be something we'd need to have a major discussion about.

As it is, I'm not even 100% certain this experiment'll be accepted - there's a lot of positive responses from casual people, but zero word from the members of the devteam specifically tuned into game design as their primary focus.

[Tails ignoring friction changes when "running"] would be a very interesting mechanic.

It might be an interesting mechanic, but I'd personally highly prefer it to be as a Lua script add-on thing, not a vanilla thing.

Don't take anything I say at face value.

Why does the time read 0:70?

 

[TehRealSalt]

...Probably because she recorded it when the timer reached 0:70, and one loop of the animation takes less than a second? I'm having trouble seeing what would be so significant. ;y

bop

But the timer doesn't reach 0:70 (without mods, whether it be a custom EXE, some graphic lumps, or a Lua Hud). The closest you get to that is 1:10.

But 70 seconds?

Hmm...

Might want to replace those boulders with custom brick chunks, the change in detail doesn't look all that good.

I'm not making a Mario level myself, so no.

The object type is customisable, I just don't want to make extra assets when I'm testing code-side changes.

 

[toaster]

VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[MK.exe]

Im a fan of this new thing

 

[Superjustinbros]

Instant Fan.

Coming from a Top Down developer, having this now would be amazing.

 

[Phantom-blade]

That is fantastic!

You guys're blowing me away, really

Also unfortunately all of this is being done on 2.2 internal, so even if it was accepted with 100% happiness you wouldn't get anything of this before release. Selectively porting the ice physics back to a hypothetical 2.1.16 might break backwards compatibility because of using the player.mo.movefactor (Lua syntax) mobj struct variable, which is probably already used for some custom mods since it was free, and also stuff like Metal Sonic's overdrive and Shadow's ice skating might behave differently.

We're not actually in the business of intentionally breaking stuff because it looks cool, despite what you think about 2.1.15.

finally, all the beautiful kaizo hacks can be ported to srb2

Awesome! now the Mario blast pack is looks more 'Mario'

Also, is that a new grass texture i see?

 

[toaster]

It's new compared to 2.1.15, but...
