[Game] UFO Race

[cd2]

We could reprogramm it... (community project) and host code on github....

That's a good idea. BUT Kenney hasn't released any of the code afaik.

I think we dont need code, just this great idea :D

He stopped working on his other game for Minetest, Voxus, so maybe he abandoned this one as well.

Yeah, but he mentioned putting his code for this game up after he announced that he was stopping Voxus. He was talking about it a week or two later so we expected it to happen.

I've got a WIP subgame(Pixture) that i've been working on for a while now, it's based off what Voxus was going to be before Kenney cancelled it.
It's here, not quite ready to release yet.

I just was browsing the screenshots in your repo. You have my attention. I like it already :)

Too bad. As far as I can see this was the first and only real subgame not just being a bunch of mods put together.

[kaadmy]

You can try the subgame now, i'll post a topic for it in the WIP subgames section.

When you look at the video it actually isn't that much that makes the game. And we could easily rebuild it.

• Hide the default UI and inventory
• Mapgen singlenode
• Jump 2 blocks high
• Some decorative blocks with nice abstract textures (OCD)
• 1 block high player model and properties
• Mod to handle level start, end and teleportation to new levels
• Special blocks: spices, jump pads, cushions
• Background music and soundeffects

The hard part is not to add to many things.

[benrob0329]

Instead of teleportation, what about different worlds? Like a worldpack, you could then jump to a different level if you wanted, and perhaps there would be a mechanism in the game kicking you if you haven't completed the previous level.

[kaadmy]

That would be a bit messy, as there's no way that I know of that allows mods to load different worlds.

[rubenwardy]

loading different worlds would be a bad way to do it, due to the spamming of new world folders and the latency of having to de-initialise and re-initialise for a new world.

[benrob0329]

True, and true

For special blocks, something like trampolines mod, (but with other textures), and for the music, something like ambiance mod.

http://kenney.nl/games/ufo-race ... what does "soon" mean?

[cd2]

for servers the subgame needs a fast ufo system - If someone has a slow connection, It wont be much fun to play (e.g. I never use boats on servers bc, boats are always resetting my position when I use them).
the game should change the player model and remove the ufo entity if someone joins an ufo.
I think that might be one of the hardest things to code.

[programmingchicken]

You don't need to complicate it that much, cd2.
People could run around invisible in a lobby for about 2 minutes, doing parkour, etc. until the game starts.
Then the player model changes, not removing any entities, and teleports to the starting line.

Could you add me to this repo, pls?
I have code and textures to add there :)

[Casimir]

Just make some pull requests. Then I can have a look at it first.

ok

I added some more basic code structures now
I will add more things soon, maybe tomorrow :)
( I am still working on some textures )

This is a screenshot of uforun (this is a version of it that isnt uploaded - very WIP I am going to upload it soon):

[benrob0329]

That looks cool!

[cd2]

That looks cool!

thank you :D

Those colors are very nice. I will have a closer look at your pr.

Today I had an idea for creative. The level design will probably consist of several floating islands, the way you see them in Kennys trailer. But how do you place nodes in the air? The idea is to use 3rd person view by default and then use the position of the player as a cursor. The player would have fly and noclip and places the nodes just where they stand. I will throw something together and see how it feels like.

hmm, I think it is simpler to build normal. - I made this island with mapgen.lua, so we need it (mapgen.lua)!

Cd2, while I appreciate your effort, it would be nicer if you created your own thread for your new subgame instead of hijacking existing ones. Thanks.
