Dearest TIGSource, I am sorry I have neglected you. I've been so busy with this video game. Here's a dump of stuff you might like:
Footsies Workshop With Colt:
*Colt wants to approach Eye Knite! He has two options: go counterclockwise downward or clockwise to the right.
*If he moves CCW he keeps his shield pointed towards Eye Knite and is safe from attacks, but...
*If he moves CW he opens himself up to Eye Knite, but also goes towards Eye Knite's open side. Bonus: forehand swings are much faster from this position.
I spent some time making stages more lively:
For reference, click through for larger images:
This is very much Tunic inspired, but I think it helps for gameplay a lot as well. The forrest is a great stage to hide in 3+FFA, so the more points people can be distracted by the better to encourage the hiding.
On that note, there are now 9 total stages. Dungeon, Forrest, Ravine, The Pit, and Cemetary have been shown off at all the old events. The four new maps are Wellspring, Pedestal Room, Stone Bridge, and Training Grounds.
Wellspring is inspired by the Fairy Rooms in the original Zelda. It is very open and the water slows down the pace in the center a lot. There are a lot of places from which you can dive in and attempt aerial attacks, and the water does not help w/ getting out of the way.
Pedestal Room is rotationally asymmetrical. The Capture Flag spawns on the pedestal, and it is fairly easy to guard. Players who ignore the Capture Flag generally fight on the ground with lots of chasing around statues or ducking out to the opposite side of the map. Lots of confrontations happen in front of those two staircases.
Stone Bridge marks the return of stage hazards. The moat is filled with stakes, and the jump over the stakes is fairly difficult (though exciting!). Lighter projectiles will clear the 1m tall bridge, though heaviers projectiles will just clip the top.
And Training Ground is set at dawn. It is only remarkable because of how clean and simple it is. It may get a little complicated to deal with in large FFAs, but otherwise there are no tricks here.
And finally, uh, I made some new characters and items. There's a gun sword and a few more magic spells and bard items and... well... I don't have any GIFs or anything, so, please be patient!
