************** TODO - n-gon **************
|
|
|
|
field that pushes blocks and mobs away
|
|
charges up on mouse down and triggers on mouse up
|
|
drain mana while charging up
|
|
maybe push effect should last 10 cycles to give a more gentle feeling
|
|
|
|
mod - AoE radiation might work when the effect ends
|
|
or maybe just anytime another mob is near
|
|
|
|
medium caliber gun in between minigun and rail gun
|
|
mod: electricity damages mobs that get near the bullet
|
|
get ammo back if it hits mobs
|
|
ammo returns to you if it misses
|
|
bullets have a gentle arc?
|
|
|
|
mob that flashes the player (makes the graphics not update for a couple seconds)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
rework renormalization mod as well
|
|
does phase field need the stealth flag?
|
|
|
|
mod: use the stealth flag from the phase decoherence field
|
|
maybe trigger it along with the damage immunity CD
|
|
|
|
mod: efficient shielding (requires standing wave harmonics field)
|
|
lowers force applied when blocking mobs (instead of flinging them away, you push them like with plasma torch), but uses less energy to block mobs
|
|
and making it so liquid nitrogen and uranium reactor core have that effect in a radius around the player instead of on contact
|
|
the idea being that you're sacrificing defense and instead of flinging away mobs when they touch the field, you're letting them stay longer in your field so that they take more damage
|
|
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
make a visual indication of max health
|
|
|
|
shrink font on small screens (so you can see 5 options on power ups)
|
|
|
|
graphic idea: bezier curve that moves smoothly from mob to mob
|
|
loops around player
|
|
|
|
give rail gun projectile a trail
|
|
only draw above speed 5
|
|
track previous positions?
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
what about a neutron bomb mod, that causes the bomb to activate right after you fire and slowly move forward with no gravity
|
|

|
could apply to explosions, neutron bomb, player LOS

|
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
