Pros and cons of TG vs Goon

Post by scrubs2009 » #259746

So I went on goon to check it out and I just wanted to put up some of my thoughts and see what you guys think.

TG pros/Goon cons
* TG has soooo much more options for traitors and ops. Goon doesn't have mechs, viscerator grenades, syndie borgs, etc. When you become an operative on TG you have a million ways you can go about doing things. On Goon it's either pure stealth or just boring guns.

* Mechs in general

* TG just looks better. It's interface is much better and the spriting is pretty good.

* Goons DWAINE terminals are a bit unwieldy. They can be fun to use if you're doing science or something because they make you feel like swordfish hackerman but having to enter commands just to call the shuttle is stupid

* More antags. TG has 2 cults, traitors, ops, blobs, changelings, abductors, morphs, ash walkers, and devils. Goon doesnt.

* More fleshed out wizards with more spells and abilities

* Ian


Shit we should steal

* Pods. Flying around in a tricked out space tractor is fun and fun things are good.

* The Adventure Zone. It's actually pretty fun. Especially for someone on their first time through. It also gives a sense of adventure to the game. We could probably do this by just turning the gateway back on.

* Star stickers. There is nothing more liberating as captain than stripping naked and walking around the station coated from head to toe with gold star stickers glimmering like a fucking sun.

* The critter gauntlet. Combat is fun but if your not an antag it will be A. Consisting of shoving matches with assistants or B. A .5 second brawl with an antag who is 200x better equipped than you.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks, Kev.

Gateway is pretty much a no no unfortunately, won't go in depth in this post why. However, does goon have lavaland? I feel like there's potential in making lavaland more of an adventure zone. I could be totally wrong since I don't play goon but yeah.

i have three other top secret characters as well.

No it doesnt. Goon mining is weird. You basically have a 20×20 square in which you can teleport asteroids to mine.

Where can I find about why portals were removed? I heard it had something to do with power gaming but I want to learn the details.

The gateway wasn't removed, but away missions were disabled on tg, other servers still have them enabled.

You can probably dig up an old PR or forum thread about it if you'd like, but I think the general idea was that the away missions were all basically "solved" in that people would just cheese them and grab the loot as fast as possible every round, and that they were just generally used to powergame instead of making the round any more interesting.

Well then it sounds like the solution is just making more and more difficult missions. I will now apply my mediocre mapping skills.

This plus the fact that half the crew would leave the station to get phat loot every round and many of them would just die, meaning station population was effectively permanently halved.

Wasting your time, friend. Only way away missions making any comeback if they were kept secret and were remade to be less shitty/a loot-fest. The current selection is either boring, badly-designed, or an unbalanced shit-fest of death and excessive round-breaking loot.

I would personally love to see something akin to adventure z-levels on goon come back to TG, but considering the only reason away missions aren't even gutted yet is due to downstream branches, I doubt that will ever happen.

Lavaland is the only way an adventure zone can really work on /tg/.

Since nothing can be closed source, we need to rely on random generation. As much as I'd love some quality handcrafted dungeons, it just isn't feasible when there will be maps on the wiki before its even merged.

They have a rule against that, actually:
Spoiler:
Goonstation Rules Page wrote:Bigotry and sexual content is a non-negotiable hard 'no' at the request of our server hosts. In order to avoid a three hour argument over whether a mention of dicks is sexual or not, this is interpreted as 'absolutely no references to sexual organs or related topics whatsoever; absolutely no use of slurs or bigoted statements whatsoever, even ironically or masked with clever misspellings, and yes this means your BYOND key too'. This is not negotiable and not open for discussion. If an admin tells you to knock something off because it breaks the no sexual references rule, that is not an invitation for debate. Knock it off or go elsewhere. Rape 'jokes' are considered sexual content. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use the word rape in this game. This is one of the two only 'do what we say, when we say it, because we say it' rules we have.

I'm personally not a fan of people who think it's funny to spam racial slurs or spawn with names like the one you mentioned, but I'm in the minority

Assuming this is directed at me, I'm not sure I follow

If you mean personally getting over it - I find it no more annoying than any other annoying player behaviour so there's no issue

If you mean dealing with it as an admin, we speak to people taking it too far, so there's no issue

"Quit being a pussy" about what, exactly

It's far easier to ignore it tbh. I don't want to have to quibble with every single person who uses slurs, plus I genuinely don't care and would rather use the time and energy to download high quality .ogg rips

We greytided a HoP named Adolf Shitler the other week. I rarely greytide, but with a name like that, you're sort of asking for it. Didn't hurt him, just repeatedly knocked him over, stole his stuff, then handed out all-access to the crew.

Turned out to be a cult round. Explained the greytide situation to the HoS. He understood where we came from. We beat that cult. Good times.

If there is anything I wanted ported over it is Goon's sound system. the ambience of a goonstation round is soothing, being able to hear the screams from across the station, the gunshots of the detective blindly firing his revolver into the clown, the chaplain farting on his bible and exploding.

That and it made using "Loud" weapons have a real disadvantage as the moment you fired a gun or opened an e-sword the entire station would know, it made silent weapons like goon's suppressed .22 pistol actually have a value.

the sound engine from goon is about the only thing the open source codebases haven't replicated, which is a shame, because it is rather excellent.

Hearing a faint echoing fart from tcomms while also hearing distant bloody murder scream from robotics while in engineering is quite nice.

I think space ruins are a good way to incorporate more exploration and adventure-y stuff. There's already a fair number of them and it seems like a fairly easy process to add new ones to the pool, provided they are already mapped.

Their sound system is what I was most impressed by when we ran Gooncode for a few weeks. There is nothing that destroys immersion as fast as when you're all alone in a dark maintenance tunnel and suddenly hear the faint echo of a distant fart.

Tele-man somehow dies and gets its looted by an atmos tech who managed to use it to send two nuke ops to lavaland, who were then surrounded by several very angry people from earlier and some extra golems on top of it.

There's nothing special about goon's sound system, it just uses the built in byond 3D sounds just like we do.
The difference comes in the fact we've capped it to SURROUND_CAP (7), so 3D sounds never leave a screen, all we have to do is change this value.

The reason i've stopped playing on Goon in the first place is the unending screams and farts. Screams are nice for ambience, but there was always someone screaming somewhere, meaning that it was less a call for help and more of a very annoying background. Farts are even worse because they just break any pretense of immersion.
