Resident Evil: Discussion Thread [Concluded]

[Wishazu]

The map looks awesome and I`m sure all the relevant information will be included when the game starts. Speaking of which, is prior knowledge of the resident evil series needed for storyline etc? If so i`ll do some research

Edit: fast work there ATPG

Nope, you don't need to know anything about Resident evil. For people who aren't fans of the series:

1. The dead people in this game turn into zombies and keep playing. They can be killed with weapons, or you can outrun them.

2. There are non-human creatures that are much bigger and stronger than you. Especially the crowd-busting creature that I will be sending after you. He's about 20 feet tall.

3. Herbs can be mixed together to make heath items or attribute-boosting items.

4. There will be almost no one from the Resident Evil games in this game. 98% of you are all new characters. Yes, you have images that look like RE characters, but that's because I'm not about to make 60 brand-new images. These are new characters, with the rare exception.

5. Some of your fellow townsfolk may simply wish to kill you and take your weapons and items, to increase their chance of survival. Others want you eliminated anyway because they aren't ordinary townsfolk.



And that's about it... I mean this game should feel special for Resident Evil fans, but I had fun in the Battle Royale game and I never saw the movie. You should be fine. Right Sigurd?

Awesome nice map lol.... Cool so kicking this off tomorrow correct?

I would guess Friday since tommorow is Thanksgiving for us in the United States.

[Stildawn]

Ah right forgot you guys are on holiday lol lucky

Haha it cracks me up that our zone of control is a whole city block and that our awearness is like 3 city blocks lol.

Question. Does awareness increase your line of sight? How many squares will we be able to see? Would an awareness of 5 allow you to see 5 squares in each direction (which would be a 1/9th of the map)?

No, as ATPG said, there will be no need for any real knowledge of the Resident Evil series. However, those that do will have a slight advantage - knowing the mythos always helps when trying to deal with it's myriad of creatures and humans. Just don't depend upon them - knowing ATPG, he's switched a few things around contrary to cannon to throw us RE lovers for a loop

map looks great

Woohooo just got my role PM lol.

The 27th will begin Day One.

You all now have your Role PM's. I still have to give each of you your character cards, which I cannot do unless you allocate your Stats.

Please, if you have attribute points to allocate, do so, and I'll send you your character card (when I get a chance) Otherwise you will start Day One with default stats, and if you end Phase One with your default stats, they are locked in for the entire game. You still have many many days before Phase One starts and then ends, but this is a fair warning.

Some of you do not need to move your attribute points around because you have been given a special character with forced stats. Do not mention that this applies to you.

Reminder:

First rule about role PMs, don't talk about role PMs. Not unless I said you could.

I would guess Friday since tommorow is Thanksgiving for us in the United States.

Yep.

Question. Does awareness increase your line of sight? How many squares will we be able to see? Would an awareness of 5 allow you to see 5 squares in each direction (which would be a 1/9th of the map)?

No, the awareness attribute allows you to detect stealth players better with each additional point, and otherwise it looks like this:

AWARENESS RADIUS

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Awareness rating of between 1 and 3 gives you a tiny awareness radius. Only 9 squares... just your zone of control. Which is fine if you're working with someone else who has a much higher radius... they can "see" and detect things for you.



Awareness rating of between 4 and 6 gives you a slightly bigger diamond.



Awareness rating of 7-9 gives you a much better awareness radius.



Awareness rating of 10 gives you a big fat circle.

map looks great

Crazed Rabbit is awesome! If we were able to give +rep points here, I know he'd be getting a lot of them.

In lieu of that, he gets my sincere thanks and congratulations on finishing this masterpiece.

[Stildawn]

Awesome... Come online ATPG I need to talk lol....

Any chance of making the grid smaller? (like each current square could have four sqaures in it?) or have you made up your mind on that? You could just increase the movement rate etc... But being able to be aware for 3 city blocks is kinda weird lol Sorry good job alround by the way....

I need it that size so there's enough room for the 60 players we have, but not so many that it takes forever to cross town.

Consider every 15 minute phase enough time to sprint 3 city blocks. It's realistic.

As for awareness for 3 city blocks, that's if you're really aware and have hawk eyes.

Also, there's a lot of grid squares. 30*30 squares means almost 900 places you can move to, minus the squares you cannot reach. Which I'll get into later.

Having more squares would make it hard to find your character on the map, and hard to see the map itself. I have it balanced perfectly with the number of squares there are, in my opinion... I don't want to screw it up too much.

Woohooo just got my role PM lol.

Me too, also a cheer for Crazed Rabbit, he must have spent a while doing it and I don't believe hes paid for it.

And seeing as I'm on the subject of charitable people give it up for the modders who tinker there hours anyway for us to play there inventions with no costs!
