Spoocelocks are in. Guaranteed. Best game mechanic. Ever.

Glitch 01-30-2012 02:25 AM

I can backup everything about that statement.

Manco 01-30-2012 02:45 AM

Look what you have done, Nate. Look what your petulance has wrought.

Now we are all sons of bitches.

How would a leaderboard work? By what metric are you going to compare the players?

Time trials; speedrunning any oddworld game is challenging and fun. If people enjoy it then that's probably a good thing.

A leader board or different game mode can't and won't because they won't been seen in the game itself, only via a menu option.

This is pretty much how I feel. I don't get how you could make the main menu, with different options, possibly different gametypes or leaderboards and whatnot as an immersion breaking element of the game without some effort...


like if the main menu popped up randomly during gameplay to kill off your character!

spoocelocks in AbeHD???

Glitch 01-30-2012 08:42 AM

Spoocelocks everywhere! But don't worry, you can buy additional spooce via micro-transactions if you don't have enough (which you won't).

Goresplatter 01-30-2012 08:57 AM

How many prestige points are we going to need for the Blitz Packer to be available to Abe? I'm pretty leet with the HE 'nades but the Sligs with the T-1 Guard are so OP.

tda 01-30-2012 09:10 AM

Guns that fire spooce, bought for by spooce, spoocelocks, it's all going to be in there. No spooce in the game though, as glitch said, microtransactions only.

Glad you do. Took me far too long to read that, I may be getting old :(

Microtransactions?

Microtransactions?

As in paying a dollar or two for stuff in the game. So instead of a lever to open the door, you will have to buy the lever first.

Best.Idea.Ever.

Implemented.

Pirates and cheaters will find debug menus anyway

Glitch 01-31-2012 05:15 AM

not if we take them out

Wil 01-31-2012 05:16 AM

You mean the menus or the pirates?

Havoc 01-31-2012 05:44 AM

Both.

Glitch 01-31-2012 05:47 AM

First one, then the other.

AvengingGibbons 01-31-2012 06:17 AM

Err.. I think I'll play nowtun's Abe remake instead.. :p

Havoc 01-31-2012 07:27 AM

Non-buyers will be taken out as well.

pupbenny 01-31-2012 07:28 AM

Er.... I hope you guys are joking about microtransactions.

Glitch 01-31-2012 07:33 AM

Yes we are Pupbenny*

pupbenny 01-31-2012 07:36 AM

lol.

Scraby 01-31-2012 08:39 AM

whats wrong with debug menus >: (
except that they can bring lots of fun to the game XD

Varrok 01-31-2012 10:04 AM

What about making game patches as paid DLCs?

No, better...

What about not making any patches at all, and selling game cheat trainers as DLCs(like noclip for unstucking the character etc.) - it'd save a whole lot of dev time!

STM 01-31-2012 10:06 AM

What about they just make the friggin' vanilla and sell it?

Chubfish 01-31-2012 10:08 AM

Get "stuck" in RuptureFarms? Need invincibility? Or even...invisibility?

Abe HD "Debugged" DLC! Only £19.95!

Varrok 01-31-2012 10:15 AM

Can I work at JAW now?
I wouldn't really need any earnings, I'd do it for pure satisfaction

MeechMunchie 01-31-2012 11:24 AM

You should charge people who want to pirate your game.

It's so obvious, I surprise myself sometimes.

Varrok 01-31-2012 11:27 AM

You should charge people who want to BUY your game.

That way you'll be sure they've got money

pupbenny 02-01-2012 02:40 AM

If Abe HD will be in 2.5D, will the graphics file be smaller than Stranger HD?

Glitch 02-01-2012 03:41 AM

Potentially. It may not be as simple as that.

pupbenny 02-01-2012 06:09 AM

I, in some way, hope it is lower, I think. If it is lower it might be able to be on the Xbox 360.

Havoc 02-01-2012 08:29 AM

Why wouldn't it be on the 360 if it's bigger??

Varrok 02-01-2012 08:31 AM

Something about 2GB limit?

File size was one of the contributing factors to Stranger HD not coming out on 360.

Jesus, man. Those tigers give you a swat to the head?

Spooce-aholic 02-01-2012 10:37 AM

Will Abe HD have graphics settings? Like resolution, texture detail, geometry detail, etc?

Wil 02-01-2012 11:16 AM

I should hope so. I shall have to bash everyone in the office over the head if they decide not to.
