Reflect could have a certain % chance of reflecting, so any loop would stop eventually when the reflect failed. Or the attack could become slightly weaker on each reflection, either by just weakening the attack or by leaking a bit of damage to the character doing the reflection. Or some combination. This could pave the way to some kind of reflect skill level or item level or whatever, or just provide tuning knobs for balancing reflection.

Juc66 posted:Soooooo ... make something. And make something can be a really simple thing like "draw random shapes on the screen until a key is pressed" or "print out the location of the mouse when it moves". Of course, you won't know how to do everything you want, so you will need to fire up google and do some reading. If you feel like you can't make any progress, put your project aside and start an even simpler project. Try to avoid just wholesale copying of code without understanding it, but it can be really helpful to use someones example code as a template that you can expand on.

I like more colors, you can still pay homage without sticking to the limitations exactly. Without the blue, your palette is black/white/brown/brown/brown/brown/browngreen, a bit yuck.

Winty posted:Hey guys, I'm working on a tank game! It's HTML5, multiplayer, and based on a similar game you might remember if you played mac games in the 90s. The netcode can still be a bit jankity especially when first starting, sorry, but otherwise it seems stable for now. Of course I'm sure now the server will crash about 15 seconds after I post this. Check it out if you like http://tankwar2000.com/ Ohh this looks cool. OK played it a bit, it is awesome! We played so much Bolo in computer lab. But, how do I shoot stuff?

She might at least be able to point you elsewhere, if her rates are too high, or work out some cut-rate simple services deal. From my dealings with PR/advertising in a different industry, this seems really cheap.

Atoramos posted:Been getting Skeet: VR Target Shooting ready for release. Things are going well, and we're just about set up for Steam. Shot some footage tonight that's going to get cut down into a trailer This looks pretty neat. I don't know a lot about VR, what are the controls? I like the weapon controls and it seems like everything is fairly realistic. But, it would be nice if it was juiced up a bit. Some spark particles or flashing neon hit indicators or something. I can see stuff being hit but it doesn't feel very spectacular.

supermikhail posted:Yeah. Although in my case it's possible for the player to look at the animals for unlimited time, if they wish. I thought it would be a nice touch to add blinking. But I'm probably going to redo this model several times yet (not to mention possibly remove the extended admiration mode), so it's not big issue yet. I think it would be a very nice touch if there aren't performance considerations.

Is it possible to have the right arm punches go behind the enemy sprite? Seems like that might actually be pretty be hard to do. Also, it would be amazing if the enemy's head got knocked back a little when punched.

How long is the game and how many times do you expect people to play the game? Respec'ing is a bigger deal in a AAA cinematic FPS-RPG that the typical person will playthrough once, versus a roguelike where even casual players will play dozens of times and have a lot of opportunities to learn from their mistakes.
