Official IVAN Continuation thread in forum Other Coding

I don't like that the other monsters are removed. Corpses have their use as food too, besides, I've never seen the entire level wiped out before I was able to kill the Enner.

But aside from that i really love the river idea as well. How wide is the river? If it were 3 or 4 spaces that might even help because if you saw the Enner across the river you could zap him without him being able to get too close to you.

If you can get the river working I would be fine with that in 0.51 but I think the monsters should go back. Just my opinion

Shouldn't bashing be based on your body weight? When I hear the word I picture somebody throwing their entire body up against a door

This may have been the dumbest game of IVAN I have ever played... in forum General IVAN Discussion

Haha that was pretty epic though.

I've definitely had some characters like that. Doomed to failure from the very beginning but you somehow keep pressing on. And then when they finally die you're like "I should have just quit a long time ago"

IMO most of them are alright (for example, the metal materials completely destroy your speed in exchange for the extra power), but the feather ones have incredibly high speed and strength, with no downside other than the lack of natural healing (which isn't really that detrimental, since with Phoenix Feather/GEF limbs you'll almost never get hit anyways).

I once loaded up an old save that was on GC4, decided to change all my limbs to ommel hair and just sprint downward and see how long I'd last. I ended up killing Elpuri and getting the freedom ending, with a very low score of around 80k. My armor was crappy, and I was wielding two +5 hand axes made of weak materials (iron or steel, I think). No victory should be that easy in IVAN.

Sure but you wouldn't be able to get those limbs so early in the game without going into wiz mode

I think that we've all been playing this game so long and know all the tricks that we forget how difficult it is for someone who's new.

I kind of like that there are some things like this that you can use to make the game easier, but still difficult, and of course later you can challenge yourself to go for a natural limb victory. Same with the permanent Telecontrol and ESP.

Also the Wiki / forum makes things much easier. I would have never figured out the permanent Telecontrol thing on my own.

Hmm, I feel like the artificial limbs are fine. It makes it easier but even with those limbs it still requires strategy to beat Petrus, Sherry, and so on.

Weren't ranged weapons planned eventually? Then you should be able to either fire a ranged weapon or throw an item at an intended square, and of course the distance of how far you can throw is affected by arm strength.. maybe dexterity also affects accuracy

Oooo I love the thought of fighting through GC6 with a flaming sword and there's a bunch of burning zombies wandering around.

Fundraising in forum IVAN Development

Just showing appreciation. I don't think there is any expense that actually needs to be covered
