02:51:42BFDiscordBridge<Quartz> Pushback on enemy ships is fine, recoil on self is excessive. Just my two bits.


18:03:29BFDiscordBridge<numbers> maybe like tone the recoil down to like 2/3 or 1/2. pushback seems good


18:04:52BFDiscordBridge<raptor> recoil is half, now, so it's more meant to be gimmicky, than have a huge effect?


18:24:09BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Mainly just noticeable enough to prevent double firing


18:24:13BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> imo


18:24:27BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> But like it shouldn't push you as much as getting hit with it does


18:39:51BFLogBot Repo: bitfighter | Commit: 5f2a8047ff | Author: raptor | Message: Reduce recoil


19:06:28BFDiscordBridge<raptor> I'd like to revisit bobdaduck's team asteroids...  maybe transmogrofied as another item


19:07:10BFDiscordBridge<raptor> maybe some sort of defensive engineerable


19:19:33BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> bob would definitely like that idea to be revisited lol


19:19:48BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> I think he even made all the code for it and everything


19:19:53BFDiscordBridge<numbers> maybe an engineerable TestItem, for blocking hallways or etc.


19:20:10BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Engineerable Team Asteroids was his original idea


19:20:59BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Most of us didn't really like the concept of them being engineerable, but the concept of letting level designers add in team asteroids for more targeted hazards rather than just general hazard was pretty well received I think


19:39:03BFDiscordBridge<raptor> I could totally do a quick new release without any other features.  There's only been about 20 changes to the code base, most of them fixes


19:40:00BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> 021a


19:40:04BFDiscordBridge<numbers> wrong channel?


19:40:17BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Technically correct channel


19:40:30BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Discussing dev stuff in an idea channel was incorrect lol


19:40:57BFDiscordBridge<raptor> it'd be 022 no matter what


19:41:08BFDiscordBridge<numbers> yeah, new weapon seems pretty major


19:41:12BFDiscordBridge<raptor> new weapon breaks network compatibility


19:41:16BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Ah okay


19:41:53BFDiscordBridge<raptor> the letter sub-releases were only meant as small fixes, but with all the huge changes we tried to fit into 020, they unfortunately became semi-permanent


19:42:10BFDiscordBridge<raptor> 021 release was a good reset


19:42:35BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> So now quicker releases with less major changes is realistic again?


19:42:59BFDiscordBridge<raptor> yep, but 'quick' is still at the mercy of my discretionary time


19:43:03BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Right


19:43:57BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> I’m just itching to use the railgun lol


19:45:47BFDiscordBridge<numbers> going to sensorboost into someone's face and pointblank them with the railgun


19:51:12BFDiscordBridge<raptor> I'd be interested in Quartz' take on the team asteroids (or similar) idea


19:53:32BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> @Quartz your expert opinion is requested


19:54:47BFDiscordBridge<Quartz> I’ll think it over 🙂 thx


19:55:12BFDiscordBridge<raptor> my biggest beef with asteroids in general is that they just don't quit fit in visually


19:55:12BFDiscordBridge<raptor> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/325743140059480065/792239063226384384/screenshot_0.png


19:55:37BFDiscordBridge<numbers> yeah, i agree


19:55:41BFDiscordBridge<raptor> i mean, the soccerball does better...   but i can't describe why


19:55:50BFDiscordBridge<numbers> Weird Polygons


19:56:23BFDiscordBridge<raptor> is that what it is?  too much complexity for the simpleness of the outline?


19:56:35BFDiscordBridge<numbers> everything else is symmetrical


19:56:43BFDiscordBridge<numbers> these are completely asymmetrical


19:56:51BFDiscordBridge<numbers> and complexity may also be a part of it


19:57:45BFDiscordBridge<raptor> huh, yeah - most everything else has a symmetry


19:57:48BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> They’re literally the Asteroids from Asteroids also


19:58:08BFDiscordBridge<raptor> haha, yeah - i remember watusimoto saying he was proud of adding them


19:58:19BFDiscordBridge<numbers> i mean, i see why they're like that: it's an Asteroids reference


20:02:22BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> js import { Asteroid } from “asteroids”;


20:04:41BFDiscordBridge<raptor> heh, they have a collision polygon of a circle


20:05:21BFDiscordBridge<raptor> hey, so does ResourceItem


20:05:52BFDiscordBridge<numbers> everything that bounces around has a collision polygon of a circle


20:05:52BFDiscordBridge<MEE6> Nice shooting @numbers! You just ranked up to level 8 !


20:06:54BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Ships are circles too


20:07:17BFDiscordBridge<numbers> ships bounce off walls


20:07:23BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Yep


20:07:39BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> If they had exact collision then you couldn't turn when against a wall lol


20:07:44BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Which would be a weird mechanic


20:08:02BFDiscordBridge<numbers> you'd just bonk away from the wall


20:08:10BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> :owoBonk:


20:08:13BFDiscordBridge<numbers> like a lever


20:08:50BFDiscordBridge<numbers> maybe if you could flick fast enough you could wallboost 🤔


20:11:13BFDiscordBridge<Jojo> that would be dope tbh


20:29:37BFDiscordBridge<raptor> I could totally release 022 within a few days, just for the railgun


20:29:45BFDiscordBridge<Lamp> foo


20:30:02BFDiscordBridge<raptor> or I can try to add another new feature


20:30:44BFDiscordBridge<raptor> Lamp, I don't speak your language


20:31:40BFDiscordBridge<Lamp> h


20:32:48BFDiscordBridge<raptor> I just took an advanced information theory class and all i can think is how I'm missing the dictionary


20:36:22BFDiscordBridge<raptor> maybe that's why i'm hesitant on the team-asteroids idea - more visual problems


20:37:34BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> The new feature being possibly team asteroids?


20:37:37BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Or something else


20:38:11BFDiscordBridge<raptor> yes

22:10:42BFDiscordBridge<raptor> does anyone know that there are 2 goalzone flashing effects?


22:15:47BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> Hmm


22:15:54BFDiscordBridge<Skybax> One for scoring and one for touchdown?
