Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
Weaknesses will depend on what the Corpuscle had adapted to be resistant to. Once it unlocks a certain research, it will be able to choose what to resist (with a hefty cooldown), at the cost of being vulnerable to that thing's opposite.jaxy15 wrote:Plasma cutters should do extra damage to Necromorphs Follicles.

you're considering redoing the food web? I thought it was a nice way to challenge the being in that he needs to adapt to the station and balance growth while upgrading.

Instead of spending biomass to advance in the food web, you could have some Brain Matter organs that give you food web research points over time; you can spend biomass building and defending these, for faster research, or you can forego them for a quick expansion.

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
if i may put my two cents in, you shouldn't keep them seperate. It may be (but probably isn't) harder to balance 'brain points' or whatever and it just adds a lot of unnecessary complexion, considering they are made by brains built out of biomass anyway.Xhuis wrote:I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep Biomass and research separate.

Yeah just make it one resource that everything draws from. Like you have to constantly choose if you want to push forwards against the crew with weaker mobs or spend a chunk of biomass buying upgrades to make them better at the cost of being able to rush with fewer dudes.

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
I'm not sure about the suggested names, they don't really reflect the organism in my personal opinion. Like a Blob is called what it is because it's a shapeless, directionless mass of ever-expanding flesh.
I'm partial to something like "The Mass" or "The Infection", since it more closely reflects the creature and how it works and highlights the uniqueness of it since it's not "a" blob but The Mass/Infection.

Poking around in latin a bit for terms you can mangle in ways that sound cool.
viscus means viscera, flesh, entrails, internal organs, offspring, carcass
If you want something like a scientific name or gamemode title:
crescat viscus for "growing flesh"
viscus machinae for "flesh machine."
viscus inmutae for "flesh that changes"
viscus tendae for "flesh that spreads"
viscus vescori: vescor means eat, feed, devour, enjoy, live

I really like the theme you're going with, slow but terrifying mosters that you're not supposed to attack alone/unprepared.
The integration parasite should probably be quicker/automatic, the hard part in the integration should be reaching the machine more than using it.

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
I'm not sure about Drones being integretable into The Being since it might encourage players to occupy a Drone shell, ventcrawl into a Being infected area and deliberately let themselves be infected and run around with a license to griff. Maybe Being infected tiles could be innately hostile to Drone life instead.
If the infected machines can be used by player-controlled Being infectees, the ones their retain their dexterousness anyway, they could produce posibrains and cyborg endoskeletons fresh for integration.
I also had some thoughts about how other machines might react when infected.

I also had some thoughts about how other machines might react when infected.
- I was thinking that the research servers in R&D could reduce the cost it takes to research something in the foodweb, maybe 5-10% per server to a maximum of 50% if any madman actually ever makes that many for some reason.
- Turrets could have their faction replaced and fire on non-Being mobs (silicons included) and not respond to turret behavioral controls to turn off.
- Emitters could have their orientation changed and be activated/deactivated by The Being.
- SMES units could function similarly to Lungs but "consume" electricity instead, or contribute to biomass production depending on how much charge they have with diminishing returns if someone upgraded the SMES units.
- Particle Accelerators could leak radiation that is harmless to The Being's flesh and creatures but not so harmless to anyone else.
- The gibber (and the slime processor too since they're basically the same thing) functions the same way as a stomach.
- Taking over telecomms equipment will allow you to intercept radio messages over other channels. I.E. Taking over the server that manages the Security channel will let you hear on it, taking over the bus mainframe it's on will let you send messages to that channel but they'll come out garbled and the name associated with you is similarly garbled while taking over the processor will let you send coherent messages using the name of whoever you've Taken (Maybe make it that being too wordy makes you sound slurred or drawing out your words), you'd only be able to send the coherent message as long as you have the bus mainframe it's assosciated with as well. Taking over the T-Comms Hub let's you change the connections as if you had a multitool.

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
I've also been doing some research on body horror and I'd highly recommend watching David Cronenberg's stuff if any spriter wants inspiration on how to portray visceral horror. I pulled the quote "Long live the New Flesh" from Videodrome (Specifically this scene NSFW:)
You could also use Dead Space/System Shock 2/The Thing(1982 not that 2011 crap)/Aliens etc. Beneath a Steel Sky got mentioned and there's also the Master from Fallout 1 if you really want to go old school.

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
Well, after reviewing my options and the current forum posts, I've realized that there's zero reason for me to not start coding this.
Off I go.
Edit: I should mention that, although the design doc doesn't say much, follicles are affected by the health/damage/whatever upgrades, and there are a lot of researches that benefit them directly. I didn't forget about them!

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
This is the first tangible bit of progress. It's admittedly not much and uses a horrendous codersprite that's temporary, but behold: the corpuscle.

I like that the old body is merged with it, makes it seem more, I dunno, insidious?

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
I'll be posting noteworthy development updates here, so make sure to check back often.
Speaking of which, here's the first one. Sprites are temporary, as usual.
Edit: I assume you'll check this again Remie, so: how do I add extra hands to a human? No reason.

change_number_of_hands(amount_of_new_hands)
eg:
change_number_of_hands(4), you now have 4 hands.

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
How much force damage does the integrator do? From the number of swipes and the fact the test dummy was still alive afterwards I'm guessing it's between 20 and 30?

Re: The Being, or "Another Goddamn Xhuis Gamemode"
The image is generated from the appearance of whoever rooted. It'll be a lot more irregularly fused in the final sprite.
