Major update
We made a major update on the design document today when we took away all things that won’t be in the game and added some new things that have been created the last couple of days.
Gone is the “new player” sign, it was meant to be used when a new player wanted to join a game but it have change and today a new player only need to tap on of a free stations if s/he wants to join a new game so that have been erased from the design document.
Gone is also the spinning on the player stations but have so been for a while but it is now definite that it won’t make it in to the game so all that was erased from the design document as well.
Things we have added are bouncing, some new names and updated some old stuff. Earlier weeks lasers have been able to reflect on mirror walls and missiles on force fields but now plasmas have joined the club of reflection and they bounces on the anti plasma walls which earlier was known as concrete walls. The namechange came after we added the bounce and all of it is a result of trying to make the game a bit funnier and more chaotic and I would say we have succeded on that. We have also made all projectiles to bounce on the game boarder so they won’t fly out in the infinite but instead bounce back and go for a new goal. This created a wider player area since you now ain’t safe on the side facing away from the center as you kinda were before. Along with this new feature we added a way to gain health by reflecting projectiles on the other players and if you hit someone else you gain the amount of damage the projectile made on him/her in health.
Name changes have been done to, the earlier mentioned Anti plasma wall but also the central station earlier known as the <Thing> have now been renamned to Güd ([Gi:d] kinda). Other things that have been updated is the damage list for weapons and there have been some few modifications in it to.
We got new wall graphics and it all is shown in the design document.
The new design document can be found to the right for those who are intrested.
