Resident Evil 2: DISCUSSION THREAD

[Ishmael]

On topic, I'm very excited for this. This means it is almost inevitable that I will be amongst the first few to die. But every good game needs cannon fodder!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Speaking of cannon fodder, I wish to now deliver the happy news to my friends the town survivors.

Good news: The zombies decisively outnumber you. Isn't that grand?

Enjoy.

Movement rules:

You cannot move through river tiles (that is to say, crossing through them) you must move around them. If you send an order that is illegal, I'll move you as close to your target location as legally allowed.

Note that your movement can be interrupted by a successful ambush that causes you to flee. Often times, you'll flee in the opposite direction. Maybe you get lucky and flee in the right direction. The trouble is, it's not up to you which way you flee! It is random.

If you move into the zone of control of someone who has prepared an ambush, and they elected to engage you, and you don't spot them, the ambush is successful.

If their ambush fails, you gain the first strike, and if you flee immediately, you'll flee in the correct direction (where you intended to go). If you do not flee immediately, but later flee from battle, it means your opponent gained the upper hand and you lost your chance to move in the correct direction. Your flee direction is randomized.

If you do not flee and your opponent does flee or is defeated by you, you'll move in the right direction.

Ok, I just got my starting location. What's the status of the game now?

Now, I need to sleep.

Then, I need to write the Prologue, and kick off the Prologue round.

And I'll also finish up the aesthetics of the map during that time so you finally have a map with like buildings and stuff. But everything else I've done has been a higher priority. I mean, I can launch the game without the map looking perfect. ETA on the map being finished: End of the Prologue round.

So we're just waiting for me to nap (go to work), write the Prologue, and kick off the game officially.

When the Prologue round begins, I'll tell you when it ends, and notify you it has begun via PM.

You'll need to send me those stat decisions and ask me any further relevant questions you may have by the end of the Prologue round.

When the Prologue round ends, Movement Phase One begins.

Anticipate the Prologue Round beginning within 24 hours.

They built an Elementary School right across the river from an Asylum? What the heck were they thinking?

[Flying Squid with Goggles]

The land was cheap. They got it at an insane discount. ;)

Not to mention the prison is right next to the hospital. Hopefully the Joker isn't in that prison.

Also, that is either a humongous elementary school or a tiny university.

They want to teach them truth about life

They built the asylum after the built the school. Parents were pissed. But hey, Syntech labs pays ever so well. They got over it.

Not to mention the prison is right next to the hospital. Hopefully the Joker isn't in that prison.

People would rather it be across from the hospital than near their homes. NIMBY and all.

Also, that is either a humongous elementary school or a tiny university.

The University is made up of many buildings, not just the icon depicted.

The circle of buildings all around the grassy area are all the university.

Doing Prologue now.

Be back when it's done.

[Frozen In Ice]

So if I just got a PM saying my orders are late, I'm not being penalized am I? I could've sent them in on time for the original deadline, but I specifically delayed them once pizza posted his holiday thing.
