after you die, you can find the build you used in the custom menu shooterBoss - smaller, but more massive, aims better at short range, and fires faster bomberBoss fires faster, bombs are more likely to split mod: osmoprotectant - stunned or frozen mobs cause no harm ************** TODO - n-gon ************** after you die custom should be populated with your last build also you should be able to share while paused standing wave harmonics mod - push things away push scales with mass up to about 4 has a 25% effect on shielded mobs? push when using field key or push away at the peak of an oscillation or always push give drones bremstranlung radiation? name: micro-harmonics? reduce drone life span by 50% drone drain energy on hits? add tailed level boss to random pool? hit scan bullets -> nails mod: frozen mobs can't do collision damage also stunned mobs can't do collision damage or they do reduced damage new gun or field - fire 3+ balls in arc name: something about energy does damage in area, like neutron bomb ends on contact with wall, doesn't stick or bounce hold fire to charge: increases the size of the balls mod: balls are attracted to mobs fix: even with a scroll bar the top of the selection window is off screen for very short windows rework perfect diamagnetism let the shield also do bremsstrahlung radiation mod: grab and launch mobs? getting stuck above a mob can immobilize player seems to only occur with Pauli exclusion add a knock to player mob collisions even while player is immune to damage keep the knock very small map element - player rotates a rotor that makes a platform go up or down removing supersaturation sets total health to 1 this cancels the health benefits from crystallized armor produce a method that calculates max health based on mods use mac automator to speed up your n-gon -> git sync fix door.isOpen actually meaning isClosed mod - laser fires 3 beams give missiles a suck and delay explosion, like vacuum bomb bot that does AOE damage while it rotates around player no physics / collisions cap 3 ? level Boss: fractal Sierpiński triangle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpi%C5%84ski_triangle spawns a 1/2 size version of the boss, this version can also spawn a smaller version, but it is capped at some size level they spawn once at the start of the level if a version dies, one can be replaced every ten seconds by the largest version level element: a zone with wind, anti-gravity, extra gravity control with button give mobs more animal-like behaviors like rain world mobs play, look for food, explore mobs some times aren't aggressive when low on life or after taking a large hit mobs can fight each other this might be hard to code isolated mobs try to group up map: laboratory rooms with switches that change physics gravity room portal room laser room radiation room a button that spawns a heal. mob: wall mounted guns / lasers not part of randomized mob pool, customized to each level atmosphere levels change the pace, give the user a rest between combat low or no combat, but more graphics explore lore find power ups in "wrecked" mechs representing previous simulations how you could leave something in one simulation that effects a different simulation Maybe some strange quantum physics principle. add text for player thoughts? simple puzzles cool looking stuff in the final level you see your self at the starting level, with the wires you shoot your self to wake up? nonaggressive mobs lore - a robot (the player) gains self awareness each mod/gun/field is a new tech all the technology leads to the singularity each game run is actually the mech simulating a possible escape this is why the graphics are so bad, its just a simulation final mod is "this is just a simulation" you get immortality and Infinity damage the next level is the final level when you die with Quantum Immortality there is a chance of lore text can the (robot) (escape captivity, and learn new technology) while managing (health, energy, negatives of technological upgrades) to overcome the (mobs, dangerous levels) to achieve a (technological singularity/positive technological feedback loop) new gun - deploy a turret that last for 20 seconds fire nails at nearby targets once a second. use mine code and bot code mod - mines become a turret that fires nails it could float to the mouse location on fire level boss: fires a line intersection in a random direction every few seconds. the last two intersections have a destructive laser between them. map: observatory button controls rotation of telescope laser beam shoots out of telescope button opens the dome map: prison doors linked to buttons mobs inside the doors? mod - do 50% more damage in close, but 50% less at a distance code it like mod.isFarAwayDmg have these mods disable each other phase field still isn't fun does phase field need the stealth flag? mod harmonic shield: slow everything in range around shield (temporal shield) set max speed? mod: bot very slowly follows you and gives you a bonus when it's in range it moves through walls effect: damage bonus?, damage reduction?, push away mobs, limit top speed of mobs/blocks/player? graphic idea: bezier curve that moves smoothly from mob to mob loops around player movement fluidity let legs jump on mobs, but player will still take damage like: ori and the blind forest, celeste many of the movement abilities in these games require levels to be built around the ability general feeling of responsiveness and control coyote time: can still jump a few cycles after leaving ground mod: double jump mod: air dash mod: wall jump wall grab? maybe remove falling damage and block damage? bug - mines spawn extra mines when fired at thin map wall while jumping redblobgames.com/articles/visibility https://github.com/Silverwolf90/2d-visibility/tree/master/src could apply to explosions, neutron bomb, player LOS possible names for mods holonomy - parallel transport of a vector leads to movement (applies to curved space) Hypergolic - A hypergolic propellant combination used in a rocket engine is one whose components spontaneously ignite when they come into contact with each other. have a mob apply a positive status effect on other mobs, heal? make it yellow damage bonus, but how? possible balance issues boss levels - small levels just a boss, and maybe a few mobs boss level for timeSkipBoss because of game instability for boss on normal levels this might not fix issues an effect when canceling a power up ammo? heals? 50% chance for a mod, 25% heal, 25% ammo add player Scent Trails for mob navigation https://abitawake.com/news/articles/enemy-ai-chasing-a-player-without-navigation2d-or-a-star-pathfinding settings - custom keys binding css transition for pause menu gun: Spirit Bomb (singularity) use charge up like rail gun electricity graphics like plasma torch suck in nearby mobs, power ups?, blocks?
