Hi guys,
i don't have any idea about the current state of BQ , but I really don't care..i just got the MS2 and saw the first animation (he looked up when i press 'W', LOL WASD MOVEMENT !!!)and i loved it...btw I'm new in here ...and yes because of BQ

It's not too late. Add your second post to your first post, then delete you second post and you'll get a second chance at the mancrib.

This will make m year if BMcC ever finishes it.

I don't know if this is the right thread or not, but is movement going to stay like this in the final game?

It just seems a little button mashing intensive. Like, if I run into a wall with a gap underneath, Baldo doesn't go into a crawl automatically, I have to press the down key. Same for hitting up for walls with gaps at Baldo's chest height. I got stuck in the attic on the title screen the first time I played because of the latter instance. I dunno; the controls just feel a little verbose. It feels like I have an almost excessive amount of exact(ing?) control over the players movement, but I never found any situations where all this extra power would come in handy.

Also, there are a few places where movement doesn't "flow" quite right. Like, you can climb up stairs in a small tunnel just by holding up and a directional key, but you have to repeatedly mash down when climbing down them.

The movement in at the moment is intentional and final, barring any major changes of direction. It's harking back to the games that BQ is based upon so it was part of the original brief.

Awesome, thank you.  And welcome!

But I don't wanna finish it! 

The current plan is to release a big update at the end of August and hope the community can take it from there.  Should be good?

Yeah, I mean... I'll iterate on the movement, for sure.  Guy's gonna have a bunch more moves by the time it's done.  But I don't really get why having exact control is a bad thing?  There will be plenty of situations where you wouldn't want him doing things like climbing ledges and ducking under gaps automatically.

Also, at least in the build on my machine, you can hold down to walk down steps.  Might not be in the last released build, though.

Good to know you're still workin on it, this makes me happy

[JaJitsu]

As long as you make him go a little faster i'll be happy.

[Frog]

I kind of like his slow movement speed.

Are you opening the source? Having this as an open source project would not only allow others to help fix bugs, but ensure that it never dies when devs grow weary with the project

[conzeit]

well, it's obviously past august and nothing happened.

I've only joined this place recently and looked about at the projects...and I'm incredibly impressed with balding,it seems it's been very long time in development and sometimes dead, is there any plans for it in 010?

But seriously, his movement gets a little better each update, I think.  It's (relatively) early yet.

Probably not.  All the game-specific stuff (logic, graphics, sound, everything) is already external, anyway.

Hey, thanks!  No concrete plans.  It's on the backburner as I work on my own big game.  BUT I will take some amount of time again at some point to focus on BQ, probably to take it to Milestone 3 (the meta-game in place, with a complete, playable "world").
