XBUSTER'S PROFILE

author=Avee
@XBuster: Thanks for your support :) It's hard to believe that it's been 5 years already since I made the gamepage. Time flies...
By the way, kudos for your continued work on Monster World Legends too!

You are very welcome! Couldn't possibly forget my first tester lol! Thanks bud :) And yes, it really does fly Its been 4 since I created mine. Alot of people keep thinking why thier projects aren't done yet. Personal lives are just more important and often block progress. You just gotta know how to make time(and that is easier said than done).

Anyway, I'll be updating the game more and more as the year progresses. Good luck on your project and I pray everything goes well. About how far would you say you are from completion?

Wow, now those are some nice concepts :) And yes, each character will have thier own stories and stage sets. After their story is complete, you can gain more characters and stories. Once the stories are completed, the real game begins. Why you ask? That is a development secret...you'll see soon enough. Remember how Zelda: Ocarina of Time and A link to the past begin right? You get 3 objects and then the real chunk of the game starts afterwards.

I like the idea of fighting other characters, I do have plans on it and the reasonings you came up with are quite clever. Imagine being attacked by a girl with a giant sword or a cursed man who kills for survival. Those are some nice story concepts. I will have to consider these heavily and there is much more to do than I had imagined.

I did have a 2-player co-op a LONG time ago in the earlier development stages. My problem is getting the camera to follow 2 or more players and how it would affect the gameplay. As of now, the game is built for 1-player action with a single character at a time. In the future, there may be another Monster World game created by me so it is definately a possibility.

When you have time, play some of the earlier demos. You will see how far its come from being extremely hard to play to a simpler, fast-paced game.

Sorry, yes, I mean it's better :^D.

Cool! You'll be surprised on what's in store for the next release.

This really is some useful information:) Luckily for me though, a LOT of what you've said above is already in the engine. For instance,

1)There is a vertical level in the game called "Lava Pit" where lava does rise.

2)In space, there is a low gravity, and a gravity-change level where it switches your gravity based on the area. This level concept was inspired by the Mega Man Zero 4 stage where gravity panels make you jump higher or lower.

3)I have been thinking of doing a wind stage, I just need to figure out how to stop the player near a wall when the wind pushes them.

4)Why didn't I think of a conveyor switch Sooner? Good thinking

5) Yes, there is an industrial/space world in the game. Its called Neo Utopia. Most stages in this world are elemental such as Fire Factory and Frozen Facility.
There are many traps in this game, so many I lost count. Lasers, Lava, Bombs, Spikes, Fire Sticks, Arrow Shooters, Poision Smog, Heat, Blizzards, Boulders,Quicksand,Cannons, Motion-Sensor Bombs, and much, much more.

6)There are no fights on conveyor belts in this game because those are precise platform sections, but it would be pretty evil to do so.

7) Yes, there are slippery Ice floors in the game that break after being on them. They will crack and explode into ice chunks.

8) There are a couple of enemies that have desperate death attacks. One is a mummy that throws two knives in both directions and an egg-bomb that explodes when it contacts either you or an attack.

9) I'm currently brainstorming how to make you get shocked underwater. I have made you die when you touch lightning underwater, but not the way it works in real life. I'll look further into it.

10) Funny that you say that, I do plan on adding a mine cart level, they are already complete actually. There is a level in the Sky World where you ride a mine cart to progress.

11) I do plan on adding another chase level. I just recently got a giant boulder that is big enough to squash you. That is definetly something in consideration.

Thanks for your advice, I'm picking up a lot of things from you. Ever since I changed the physics of this game, its gotten better, but there are a lot of things I have to remake now. We'll see how things progress from here on out.

Man, this is a lot to consider:) Thanks for the game recommendation, I'm checking it out now. It looks a lot like Cave Story. I remember facing this boss. I thought he was dead so many times, then.....he goes invisible O_O. I do know how to make monsters carry bombs now. Boss strategies are something I'm looking further into day by day. I want everyone to be different, even if its a small difference.

At first, I had trouble understanding what was going on with coding, but now as long as you grasp a concept anything is possible. I believe there was an enemy like this in Super Mario Bros 2. I think it was a red bird or something.

One of the protagonists in the game is named Lydia. She uses a surrounding shield, but it only lasts for a split second. I believe I may make her create a sheild that follows and surrounds her instead. As for the enemies, shielded monsters always had a way to block your attacks as long as you faced the direction of their shield. However, you could damage them the moment they tried to attack you or from behind. I'll have to figure out how to input such a system.

With a wide variety of new monsters, there is a limitless possibility of what I can do with them. We'll see how things evolve from here on out.
