@Azzyypaaras Okay, but I have 3 open prs
1 ready to merge
2 just need textures
Pls godo
AzzyypaarasTeam03:27
I will merge after I finish playing a bit of isaac
Also I can get the boats done real quick
Did some sprites for something else earlier today so I am nice and warmed up
SollyTeam03:29
Okay actually
I just removed the green from the purple swet ball
The extra colour on the gold can stay because it looks really nice and shiny
AzzyypaarasTeam03:30
Replying toSollyI just removed the green from the purple swet ball
I am on my way to merge that shit now
SollyTeam03:30
It can be merged now, the blue ball looks almost exactly like the original
Any further changes can be made easily later anyway
I don't understand your dislike for the green on purple swets
It makes them look tropical and venemous
As opposed to just another slime recolour
AzzyypaarasTeam03:30
Green is 🤢
SollyTeam03:31
That's the point
AzzyypaarasTeam03:31
Jokes aside
There are three reasons why I want them to stay one colour
SollyTeam03:31
The swets really need some more variation and life in them(edited)
AzzyypaarasTeam03:31
Firstly, the color coding stuff talked about previously, color language is important
Secondly, I just don't think it really looks all that great, minor I know but still
And thirdly, and perhaps more importantly, abstentine and (when it comes) tarragon are already taking up the green side of things, they take that part of the color wheel in the whole "recognize it quickly via color", which is important in their case since they do have effects the player wants to react to quickly
Where they not hogging up green I'd be more conductive to mixing up purple and green for venom
SollyTeam03:34
The other reason for green is that purple swets give you poison
Which emits green particle effects
AzzyypaarasTeam03:34
Replying toSollyThe other reason for green is that purple swets give you poison
That is temporary
I will add a better system that is closer to legacy's poison later, but it is not going to stay just being vanilla poison
SollyTeam03:34
Hmm idea
Purple swets are like terraria jungle slimes
AzzyypaarasTeam03:35
plz no
SollyTeam03:35
Showering little poisonous prickles
AzzyypaarasTeam03:35
The venom alone will be enough once it is implemented, trust me that shit will be scary
Also projectile spam really is not great in a game with so little mobility, in terraria you can see projectiles easily, they can only travel in a 2d plane, and you have many things to dodge with like multiple jumps, grappling hooks, and flight
SollyTeam03:36
Yeah it'd be best implemented as an aoe thing
AzzyypaarasTeam03:36
In mc you need to account for them in three axes, visibility will almost certainly be poor, and you get shit for mobility
SollyTeam03:36
With poison spikes just being particle effects
Making purple swet fights ranged-only
AzzyypaarasTeam03:37
Sincerely, at some point we gotta focus on adding stuff to improve player mobility, mc's base movement and combat system is going to be quite limiting as we move on
Merged
SollyTeam03:38
I want to see the ability to double jump whilst holding an aerbunny
I want it very badly
AzzyypaarasTeam03:38
Ok but, that would be kind of useless
It would be neat as a side thing but uh, actual double jumping would be nice too
SollyTeam03:38
Half of the features in minecraft are useless
That's what makes it minecraft
AzzyypaarasTeam03:39
Oh I am aware
Just pointing out the context
Is 441 good to merge?
SollyTeam03:39
Yes
And it wouldn't be completely useless - earlygame, it could be a way to get down to lower areas easily without taking fall damage
Aerbunnies are pretty common
Just grab one, use it, then yeet it
AzzyypaarasTeam03:40
I kind of want to add a trinket that allows you to back and sidestepping for some basic, yet essential combat mobility
Problem is: people would always use it, it would be taking away a trinket slot since you would never want to take it off for... anything else, it is too essential to be a trinket
SollyTeam03:41
Terraria does trinkets well
AzzyypaarasTeam03:41
Yes
AzzyypaarasTeam03:42
Replying toSollyYes
Also, was this a response to the 441 thing?
SollyTeam03:42
Yes
AzzyypaarasTeam03:43
merged.
SollyTeam03:43
@Archanum enjoy
It actually worked better than I expected, they never jump off unless they encounter something really weird
Archanum05:57
No more jumping space trash?
SollyTeam06:55
ye
