A "Lungless" run might also be entertaining too. As are any other runs that either overdo one particular vital organ, or that don't feature it. I would love to see a "No organs" run where someone literally doesn't bother having any organs at all, only guns and ammo, lol.

[@blackgod854]

i think the first person shift really suits it. odd suggestion, but maybe some physics-based momentum going up and down slopes so that you can slide and gain speed as a skill-based movement element? it seems like the landscape has plenty to play with in terms of hills and such, so i feel like that would add a new layer where the player is constantly thinking about where to slide and how to reach peak momentum. maybe i just want tribes: ascend back, tho

[@Miziziziz]

will probably look into that, sounds fun but idk how difficult would be to implement

[@SorchaSublime]

@@Miziziziz if you add a dash you could potentially implement trimping from TF2. idk if you would want that but it's definitely fun in TF2

There will inevitably be a tiny bug with movement that's hard enough to replicate, let alone exploit, but it will be the core mechanic of any serious speedruns. Yeah, speed boosts from slopes sound cool.

[@pastellexists]

A few suggestions: Add some variation to the monkey sounds and maybe pitch them all down so it feels a bit less like you're shooting monkeys in space suits. Add a "Streamer Mode" that gives your player a loincloth and some fabric wrapped around their chest, just so people who live with their parents don't feel embarrassed and streamers don't get TOS'ed (this primarily affects the UI, but if there are third-person cutscenes there too). The 'killfuck' lore is exactly the kind of shit I love, please keep that!

[@Sablus]

@Smattless it's annoying but having a game of yours streamed can help get that sweet dosh. Gotta strip for them dolla bills Lucy! Or in this case not strip...

[@TobeasJ]

@Smattless Maybe not call it streamer mode, maybe just a checkbox for nudity.

[@AndrewRedW]

Im pretty sure if the primary focus of the game is not based on characters being nude its not against any platforms TOS. Conan exiles and rust feature full on nudity and are fine as long as streamers dont try to highlight these things. Graphics in this game are way too simple to be even falling under problematic in-game nudity so this wouldn't be a problem at all. And having a character wrapped in some cloth piece would not really fit the "vow of nudity" rule.

[@pastellexists]

@Smattless What's wrong with a streamer mode?

[@pastellexists]

@@AndrewRedW If I remember correctly, Rust has an option to censor the nudity. And while it's *probably* fine, Twitch is notoriously inconsistent and touchy about what's allowed and what isn't so even if it breaks the lore a little bit, I think it's better to have than not.

[@eeaahh]

This is actually really cool, it looks a lot more fun than the old version. Kinda reminds me of Dusk in a good way, I like the art style

[@haikuheroism6495]

I love how you solved the "I don't want them to sound like generic army guys" problem by just coming up with a drug called killfuck. It's such a you thing to do, but what if you could siphon the drug out of the bandit's corpses? Either when you're eating them or looting them. It'd increase your movement speed but decrease your accuracy or something?

[@SXENedger]

I can imagine players role-playing with that idea pretty well. "Zydrate comes in a little glass vial..."

[@Crisisdarkness]

Wow that's great, you did several interesting things, that gives a lot of authenticity to your video game, adding more content, you could turn it into a commercial product, I have always admired you, you are a very talented video game developer

[@jesfest]

The enemies are rarely larger than your aiming reticle, move fast, and somewhat randomly. The three together makes it really hard to aim, because AI doesn't need to "think" like humans do. It's not uncommon for both shooter and fighting fans to have more trouble against ai than they do other high level opponents. I would say to slow them down a bit, rather than buff the guns. Less wrist strain too from flailing the mouse around.

[@RedMcCloud]

Funfact about Halo: at least for most of the pre-343 games, ALL weapons fire projectiles... it’s just that certain weapons like the UNSC’s fire incredibly fast projectiles that give the impression of hitscan, while the Covenant’s weapons fire much, much slower projectiles. I think one of the games went away from that before going back to all projectiles, but I know for a fact that Halo CE and Halo 3 are projectile-based.

[@metalhurtstopunch3696]

The battle rifle in Halo 2 is hitscan as if it wasn't OP enough lol

[@SirLTkdog]

@@metalhurtstopunch3696 Generalkidd did a video proving that the BR in Halo 2 is a projectile weapon. I could be wrong, but even the weapons you would expect to be hitscan like the Spartan Laser and the Focus Rifle are all actually projectile.

[@Deliveredmean42]

@@SirLTkdog now that you mention it. That I'd actually pretty interesting that projectile based weapons that travel THAT fast. Kind of a fine balance in a way between these two types of systems.

[@firewolf11567]

@@Deliveredmean42 I believe projectiles actually make a raycast check as they travel along their path. I might be misremembering from one of the many viDocs, but I'm pretty sure.

[@CrizzyEyes]

@Dylan L Visual graphics aren't proof that the game logic isn't using a simple ray check, though. There are many games that have fake tracers to add to the visual flair but they actually use instant rays. The Spartan laser is technically a damage-over-time weapon, it doesn't apply all of its damage instantly, but rather over a really short period of time. That might be why some people might think it's not a ray or "hitscan."

[@alicethetransdalek7333]

The issue with aiming isn't surprising, those enemies are EXTREMELY tiny on screen! It's hard to be accurate when even a bunch of enemies on-screen is a very, very small target.

[@nicehairs1639]

And they run zigzack and jump its honetly not suprising

[@floofy95]

This^^^ Small, fast-moving targets are naturally gonna be harder to hit

[@SecretJuice1]

I echo the suggestions from some to alter the enemy aggro sounds. The lore and the screams are a really cool idea, but right now they just sound like monkeys. I'd say it's more aesthetically appropriate to have more human sounding screams, especially if they were really intense and deranged sounding.

Great work, man!

I think that wouldn't work with the Idea that It is suposed to be a no-requirement way to kill enemies, but i think it would be cool to add together with a stealth mechanic maybe, like, since you're out of ammo, your body makes less noise so you can sneak behind a isolated enemy to kill him with your hands and then take the ammo, but i don't know if It would quite fit the gameplay

I have an idea to make it easier to hit enemies. I don't know if Godot has this but Unity has a "SphereCast" which can essentially be used as a "fat" raytrace, with width. So that way even if your shot misses by a tiny amount, it'll still collide. It's like a cheap form of aim assist

The shift to FPS looks like it suits the intended gameplay style a lot better, but honestly I do not like the new art direction.

Your original art style was very unique and aesthetically pleasing.

I really like the idea of using your body as an inventory system, its super duper cool in a gruesome kind of way. It's a lot like the Resident Evil style inventory system with its slots. I think my favorite part of the video was really just hearing the thought process. For someone like myself who really wants to get into game development but lacks the current drive to really get started, it's encouraging to see someone explain the process to a layman who views these sorts of things as almost magic. It's really easy to gloss over the simple things, but its quite nice to look at something like getting the arm to return to the grip position being a lot more involved and technical than it seems on the surface. Its kind of got that 'wow' factor to it where the process to get the mechanic to work is almost more interesting the mechanic itself. I'm happy this was recommended to me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

5:30 The game DUSK also does this, too. All of your bullet weapons are ray-cast, whereas all of the bullet weapons the enemies use are projectile, even though they're using what are basically the exact same guns; the converted soldiers carry the same machine gun that you do, except theirs fires projectiles that you can dodge while your machine gun is hitscan. Even the boss fight at the end of the game features a fast-moving and dodging enemy with similar movement abilities to yours, as well as what are quite literally the exact same weapons (true to your entire weapon lineup) . . . except his are all projectile weapons, even the bullet weapons like the shotgun and machine gun, whereas yours are hitscan. EDIT: I'll also say it's refreshing to see an FPS coming to the market that has crazy enemies. Every enemy in most other FPSes are reasonably slow and predictable, but I can appreciate you going all out with yours. It raises the stakes in an engagement with even a few baddies and helps make the world and your enemies feel just as dangerous as you are.
