Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks in MOTA
Hi Ryan, No, there really isn't a way to make it all the way through a level without taking any damage. Even if you duck/crouch some of the enemies shots will miss you, but they will quickly adjust their aim and shoot/stab you where you are. So it is best to do a quick duck, stand, jump, etc to try and avoid shots. However, it is very hit or miss. You can avoid some shots and sword attacks, but certainly not all of them. So think of it as trying to minimize the damage, but you can't go without taking a few hits here and there. HTH Ryan Strunk wrote: Hi Tom, I read in the manual that it is possible to duck attacks from enemies. I imagine ducking isn't quite as simple and straightforward as it used to be back when you could just crouch under the Cyclops, but I'm curious how it's done now. I imagine you don't just run into each room blazing away and hope that you hurt the enemy worse before he/she hurts you. So with that said, how do you avoid enemy attacks now? Is it possible to get through the whole game without taking a hit if you're really talented?

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi Michael, I can say for sure I don't want to dumb the game down or compromise its challenge factor. In fact, Beta 2 is in its own way more challenging then beta 1 since I have now made it impossible to crouch down and let everything and everything miss you. Enemies will hit you if you are in one place too long regardless if you are ducking, crouching, whatever. So to avoid attacks you have to figure out a combo of ducks and jumps to keep from getting hit while att the same time blast away with your weapons. This is somewhat easier though as you can now trigger off multiple shots with some weapons like the pistol allowing you to pore on the led very rapidly. Sword attacking is improved two as I sliced and diced a few enemies very quickly on expert. Michael Feir wrote: I second that motion. This is going to raise the bar in so many ways.

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi tom. I'll be looking forward to the possibility of a dodge move, sinse imho the damage per second system where you just automatically take damage as you hit the creature has several problems. When I said dodge i did mean that, ie, having to move around, duck and possibly jump, provided that there is always a possibility of avoiding enemy attacks if your good enough with your controls. I've noticed that the sterrio panning of game elements in Mota is much more precise than it was in Monti (presumably down to all your engine debugging), which is why I thought such a dodge system might be workable.

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi, I'm not saying your idea is a bad one, but I have no plans to add a sword to sword combat system in MOTA at this time. I love realism as best as the next guy, but I also have to begin thinking priorities too. I have pretty much decided June is the cut off date for development on this game, and I'm going to do everything possible to meet that goal. In order to do that I simply can't include every single end user suggestion, desired feature, etc and make it on time. I've still got 9 levels to do, and instead of working on that I have myself buried under a long list of requests and bug fixes for the next week or two. I'll work on bug fixes and as many end user suggestions as I rreasonably can. After that though I want to just get it done and over with. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi Dark, Yeah, it has been something I've wanted to work on for a while, but never took the time to really look into. However, now that the beta is out and people are flooding my inbox to do this and that it seams I should get this done fairly soon as the game needs to have this resolved to make the game more enjoyable for all. As for the audio output I'm glad you like it. This is a totally different gaming engine, in fact, it is a modified Genesis 3D Engine so it has a lot of the good stuff to power the game. Montezuma's Revenge on the other hand was primarily a port of James Norths game from VB 6 to C#, and then whatever features I added to it. dark wrote: Hi tom.

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi Dark, Exactly. Angela is suppose to use adjility and timing to avoid attacks andnot shields etc. dark wrote: I can't really see shields in the game myself, how the heck is Angela supposed to climb a rope with a clunking great shield slung on her arm? Personally, i imagine her tactics as much more agility and avoidence based, much like Lara Croft's if I remember rightly. Jumping, defensive roles, side steps, that sort of thing. Beware the Grue!

If the theory is that people explored this temple long ago, and if that was added into the story that entire armies tried to storm it for treasure purposes or something, yeah, that could work. - Original Message - From: Charles Rivard woofer...@sbcglobal.net To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 8:22 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts Just a thought, but if swords can be used, how about shields? --- If guns cause crime, pencils cause misspelled words. - Original Message - From: Clement Chou chou.clem...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 6:07 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts I agree that a dodging maneuver would be nice.

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
On that thought, maybe not. but swords could still be used for the occasional perry, could they not? But because of her guessed stature from the rope-climbing and all, I'd say make it one or two blocks dependent on the strength of the enemy, as in the beat em up sengoku. - Original Message - From: dark d...@xgam.org To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 9:03 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts I can't really see shields in the game myself, how the heck is Angela supposed to climb a rope with a clunking great shield slung on her arm?
