you only get to fire it once because your janky golf cart vehicle disintegrates out from under you when you activate it.

I'm not sure if this was asked before, but how was this game made? I was popping around the debug menu and noticed the rendering and started playing with the options and it made me reconsider something: Is this game made with sprites? I had always thought that, but the way the lighting works and the fact there's normal maps and that I can go straight to a diffuse render suddenly changed my view about the game. I know that gauss has posted the 3d models on his Twitter and what look like sprite sheets, but just the way you can strip off the rendering layers puzzled me. And, as well, how do you get the customization options to work, if they are sprites? Clever use of masks?

It's all sprites, but we use two layers-- one for the visual component, and one that's purely giving depth information. This doubles the cost of every sprite, but allows us to do cool poo poo like proper depth sorting on sprites and volumetric lighting, even though the game is technically all 2D art. Which is another way of saying we did a shitload of work to make 2D assets look 3D

What's the greenish weapon that I sometimes notice Canaries hitting me with? Do they get Black Hands? also is there any secret hidden intel on the Snakebite since we're not allowed to use it, presumably due to it being too lovely

Which is another way of saying we did a shitload of work to make 2D assets look 3D I was figuring it was clever use of normal-mapped sprites. What about the second part of my question? How did you get the weapons to appear on the vehicles in Freelance? Is that masks or did you guys literally put every combination and then make sprite at every angle? atomicthumbs posted:What's the greenish weapon that I sometimes notice Canaries hitting me with? Do they get Black Hands? That one that goes "thump-thump-thump" whenever it hits you? I believe that's the Bully.

Gauss and I will do a commentary run through the campaign at some point, properly record it since we're rubbish on twitch and only 20 people would see that anyway. The big green laser thing that the Canaries fire is damping laser. Significantly reduces player mobility but deals no damage. I tried adding it as a player weapon, but even in a small mount it wasn't useful enough to merit burning a weapon slot for it. There's still the possibility of adding it as a 0 cooldown special, but I'm not sure about that one as there's a lot of tricky issues about implementation and player control for a weapon like that. The weapon sprites on vehicles is just the same z-depth chicanery. When gauss modeled the vehicles he added mount points at various locations on every upper and lower component. I then went through every vehicle by hand and tried out different combinations to see what looked good, then once I'd locked down mount numbers and sizes I then based on that decided loadouts for enemy vehicles. This is what one of my development charts for playable vehicles looks like, just dedicated to mounts:

What counts as slow? Stuff like the Touro or just the ultra heavy platforms? I like playing the slower things cause the agravs get me mixed up. I'll have to figure out how to record a run then.

I remember getting close to them and this little lightning bolt shoots out of them but it doesn't really have much of an effect.
