still can't see them. anyway, for the fire/ice affinity/immunity, did you add a whole new set of interacting (underground) bdys to all the frames and itrs?

yes - its not as much of a hassle as you may think
what about getting some proxy? i dont want to host so many gifs on my forum account and my own homepage is currently too unstable
(or you could tell me what picture host works for you)

what else has been done to compel you to make a thread?

even tho i have held it back for 5 years and now i am trying to hide it by being as professional as i can pasch has revealed it (even if banned): "being a perverted modificatory exhibitionist."
so the true reason i guess is that i cant keep on working secretly on all this - i need to talk about it

The GIFS don't work for me aswell, had to extract the links from your post so I could see them.

Anyway, you have some pretty neat stuff in there, I see...and I hope you have even more prepared for us in the future :P

What I'm really curious is this:

affinity: half the original damage

I wonder how you pulled it off, I have some ideas in my head but none of them should be bug-free.

imageshack did not animate the gifs
can you see this tinypic upload?

if yes i will replace all previous gifs

Shouldn't it rebound to the other direction? I get the gameplay feature, but just to be... physically correct.
Are you going to add new backgrounds? Or even backgrounds with some interaction?

EDIT: Also, strangely the GIFs don't work if I view them directly on the forum, but if I copy & paste the url they all work fine.

Oh well, I guess you used a wrong url?

Same here, and tinypic works fine, thanks

couldnt see them too only the affinity and immunity gifs were working

to the topic: cant believe someone has the patience to keep something like that a secret or so long! xD

[YinYin]

ok all gifs replaced with tinypic uploads
even tho they seem to run slower

well its not like the mirroring plane has to be perfectly vertical to your screen is it? also rebounding them into the other direction makes the whole thing amazingly boring - worse than the original straight rebound, i've tried it

Are you going to add new backgrounds?

yes

Or even backgrounds with some interaction?

stage mode only if i get there - and pretty limited aswell i think

Oh well, I guess you used a wrong url?

i used the ones i got from directly viewing the images and i can also view them directly on the forum - if that doesn work for everyone i have to ditch that picture host

actually what i've done here is perfectly bug free with only two featureish exceptions
i will cover these later - maybe we can find a solution to these two problems in another thread together

if that gifs are not showing up for everyone (still after switching to tiny pic) you can try out imgur
it's pretty simple and fast in my opinion and so far it has worked pretty well for me.

progress is looking pretty nice so far. Though fire/ice immunity of firzen bugs me a little. I see no way to let him self-explode anymore which was actually a pretty funky way of beating him. Other than that I love the idea of woody's diagonal rebounding.
What if you cast woody's balls in such a manner that both fly directly behind each other (i do that very often to hit enemies twice) would they still rebound diagonally or the normal way (which they should in this case)?

He did mention that the immunity only applies for standing/walking/otherbasicframes (like Louis' armor)

ah i see, my bad I have misread it.
To fire/ice affinity: where is the downside? I am sure you have thought about it. Fire gives Ice more damage and on the other hand Ice gives Fire less damage. naturally. Pretty sure you have taken that into account, so are you going to implement it or are you leaving it out, if so I would like to know the reasons.

Well, if you wanted to implement a Pokemon-like system of resistance/weakness, you would need to have more elements than just Ice and Fire.
If Fire gives Ice more damage and Ice gives Fire less damage, then Fire is obviously at advantage since it has no weakness. You'd need to introduce f.e. Water to give a weakness to Fire, then Lightning to give a weakness to Water and finally Earth to give a weakness to Lightning etc. etc.
