I'd love to tackle PB with it's open possibilities, but with classic physics.

but with classic physics.

but with classic physics.

I truly hate to say it cause this is such a labor of love, but I can't stand PB due to all of its radical physics changes.
It would be amazing if you could release a version that doesn't change a thing in that regard.

Uh-oh, better listen up: DMan has posted a request, and it's post 777 for him, so he's feeling lucky. :yay:

[begrimed]

If it's not too much work, I'd like to place a request for a patch (when released) with no changes to physics / movement, etc, so it's a beautiful, repaletted version of the original game.  If you did, then it's just possible that I may never touch the original game again.

Yeah, that's been on the agenda since near the beginning. Also a version with no palette or background changes at all; just the physics and enemy behavior. I'm not gonna worry about those until PB is as finished and polished as it can possibly get, though.

Every time I see PB I read it as peanut butter. Makes things confusing.

You didn't still think this was sand, did you? :razz:

Kenta's gonna be streaming what I have of 0.7 so far in about 30 minutes. His stream is http://www.twitch.tv/poke2mon3

[Quietus]

Cool.  I just so happen to have finished what I was doing.

The preview stream was very successful, though I did forget one missile pack somewhere so I only got 99%, also had to take a few breaks for dinner and helping out my parents with something. I also fell asleep for about 10 minutes at some point for an as of yet unknown reason <_<; Here is the twitch highlight, enjoy the vid! http://www.twitch.tv/poke2mon3/c/3600095

Dman, nice re-emphasis... I actually laughed out loud  :lol:

[passarbye]

Thanks for the highlight kenta, i wasn't able to watch it last night because of college.

[Yuki]

Of course, any important stuff gets highlighted. Lots of cool new stuff now!

[begrimed]

New route that takes you underneath the wrecked ship.

[passarbye]

looks very good imo, looking forward to every bit of v0.7!

[Quietus]

I'm beginning to think that with these new additions and whatnot, PB could actually become a hack in its own right. :^_^:

[Jordan5]

well with the extra couple rooms it's already going to be better than 90% of half-hacks :wink:

I understand turning down the volume of the game to make your voice easier to hear, but turning down the game to 1% and turning up your mic to 100%... it makes it impossible for me to hear the awesome music :(

The point of the stream was my reactions to different things, so audio was important, and that was the mic balance I worked out with viewers.

[Quietus]

I agree.  It wasn't supposed to be any form of Let's Play (or whatever), but a playthrough for input on game design from viewers.

The only edited tune right now is red Brinstar, which was just me playing around with a few values.

I just chose the red Brinstar music because I love the song is all, lol. I won't drastically be changing PB's music. Mostly, Ill just be mixing and remastering it, so to speak. Playing around a bit more with panning, subtle percussion edits, that sorta thing. That's pretty far off, though. I wanna learn everything I can about SNES music editing before I start making song changes. Because of how iconic SM's music is, I have to make sure any changes I make won't screw up the tone of the original songs or piss people off, haha.

Also,

[Digital_Mantra]

With all the drastic changes you've made to this project, changing music doesn't sound like a good idea. You yourself said it was iconic.
Therefore, any music changes would have to supplement the exact notes and styles of M2/M1. If you're up for minute changes like that, could work..

[Quietus]

Hmm, does this mean we're getting a room to explore behind Draygon..?  Not that it'd be much exploration - just a straight room linking back to the sandfall?

[begrimed]

Sho nuff.
