the meat grinder / scoring
|
| |
...
I wonder if it would be sensible to implement handicapping? So when
someone goes against players of higher rank, they get more points to
place units with. Giving a noob 4 extra firebots against the meat
grinder evens things out a bit. You'd probably need to rework the
scoring, and it would take some playtesting to determine how many... more »

LGGWG: More theme ideas

* Fantasy Execs are kings, firebots are dragons, maxes are wizards, puffers are puffers, snipeys are archers, miners are dwarves * "Away Team" Execs are starship captains, everyone else is a redshirt of various specialties (except puffers, who are just puffers): engineering, heavy weapons, security, etc. Execs can be human, Gorn, Vulcan (not really... more »

Reskinning the game
|
| |
Hi guys. Long time no chat. I'm working on LGGWG now, and one of the projects is to get an artist to redo the art. Don't get me wrong, I love each of those gifs like they were my own children, but the 8-bit look is so yesterday. The art is completely separable from the gameplay, so swapping it out is a... more »

Giant, hulking laptop advice
|
| |
Along with getting the art and testing done on LGGWG v23, I'm beginning to work on "LGGWG 2: The Quickening", the sequel to LGGWG. I need a machine that's big enough to really develop on that I can haul around with me. I imagine I'll mostly be commuting around the house (desk to couch, couch to desk), but now and then hit the road.... more »

Score question
|
| |
So, I came in second in the big 6-way recently, and I got a measly 77 points.

Rather quiet
|
| |
It's fairly quiet on the LGG front at the moment. No much happening here and only a few games being player ? Is everyone out enjoying the sun ?

Oops - resend
|

OK, my first reconstruction didn't have the shots from exactly the same place. Here it is revised - there's still a blast indicator on the 5-point door square. I'm sure you were all worried about this. :-) Dave

Error?
|
| |
So, this seems weird. Note my shot, and my aiming of the shot. The shot through the big lock I guess is maybe OK given the vagaries of the line of sight code, but when I was planning the shot, it indicated (with the fiery icon) that I'd hit the lock, which didn't happen. I think at least the display of shot path is broken, if not the LOS in... more »
