Pisarz' news/status & other stuff.

@JRL101 Hmm... I think I know what you mean. Well, maybe we could repurpose the units at the factories, then? Of course, only those units corresponding to those factories could have their weapons switched.
On the other hand, that would probably make producing units a bit harder.What then?
yay.gorilla

@Encrypted Just add another building dedicated to repairs/weapon change. That way you could switch out the entire unit for a new one with a changed weapon, instead of transferring the current health-etc, of the unit.
-
@Pisarz whats this?
-
@JRL101 Wait, but the Garrison was originally a building where your units would automatically repair. Also, Spies could refill mines here.
Oh, and that's the Prospector Locator.
yay.gorilla

@Encrypted Yes it did, i forgot about that, i never really used it, but i also thought there was already a "repair bay" building but that must have been a different game.
EITHER WAY, I reckon all repairs should be a separate building, If i remember correctly if something is repairing in a garrison its part of the build que.
I mean if its part of the same building, in our build, then its gonna be harder to debug later?I didn't recognize Prospector Locator. I barely remember most of the units. Still waiting on more information.

@JRL101
@EncryptedI think it depends on how much would you like to customize the game. Do you like more to build your base? Or you enjoy more customizing your units? Maybe you would enjoy more to have complete freedom and choose both, but that would require appropriate UI, etc. The game is an RTS, but that doesn't mean that, for example, one might want to administer Eden 4 so as to send reinforcements to the base you are currently building (similar to Age of Empires III).

@Pisarz
You will see a comic strip here in a moment related to "playing tag". I'll ensure this will happen.And Gorillas.

@JRL101
I switched my name ('cuz it's my original name), but it's not why I called you.Wow, it took me some time. In case you're wondering, I've also uploaded this on my dA account. http://avionaris.deviantart.com/art/Machines-WFW-Comic-Strip-1-Ninja-George-625125442
So, here you go!
There are three things you might not notice at first, can you find them all?
yay.gorilla
-
Alpha:200?
Purple reaper?
Tricycle? -
@Pisarz -shrugs- kinda bewilders me. is this some sort of in-joke?
Too many eyes? His hand is wrong in every frame? Spelling problems? Nowhere do i see the words "Karei-ni" except for explaining its meaning at the bottom. -
Yes, Alpha: 200, the Purple Reaper... and look at the panel where the Gorilla prepares its katana. The tricycle is not the thing here (I thought of this machine as a Crusader). Also, you do remember how the Gorilla unit was called in the models folders, do you?
Hey, I'm aware of the hands being rotated the wrong way. No, eyes are okay. It's George, anyway. The words "karei-ni"... don't you really see the symbols over the explanation?
oll spulleeng mystaeks r be intunshynal
So, you've found two things: the pink purple Reaper and the "Alpha: 200" thing.
yay.gorilla

@AvionAris Still don't get it, why's the gorilla smashing the little robot after its asked for a game of tag? what's the sword got to do with anything? and why does the gorilla have a sexual recognition of its self? Is the gorilla talking to its self? Why is the gorilla saying the word "Great" in a different language? Why does the sword look like a candy cane? Also does the giant signature mean anything?
I don't understand why it has intentional spelling mistakes? I see the symbols over the explanation but i still don't know why its there, or why specifically the word "great".
The entire image befuddles me. I don't get the joke at all. Im missing information or its not something i can get because i wasn't involved, either way im missing information to make this a relevant joke.. -
I stole the tag joke from Pisarz. Whether it was a good idea or not, it seems I have to explain too much.
It's a ninja!
About the "sexual recognition", it has a certain voice line when heavily damaged (although I might've used it in the wrong way).
Well, it's happy, if machines can be happy.
It's a ninja!
The "candy cane" sword... yeah, I know, it does look like one, I even noticed it myself, but:
No.
They signify the machine's intelligence. More mistakes = less smart. For example, units like Commanders have no spelling mistakes whatsoever. Reapers make slight mistakes. Technicians speak in binary.
It's a ninja!ikr

So... the site is dead?

@Pisarz A few people lurking, but not much posting happening.
I guess the site might wake up a bit if Night Dive Studios re-releases Machines...
