    What are you waiting for right now?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I am currently waiting for something to wait for. No wait, I am already waiting for waiting. But if I stop waiting I will start to wait again. So therefore I am in an infinite loop on waiting for something to wait for while already waiting for something but after I stop waiting for something to wait for I need to wait some more since I don't have anything to wait for. Which means...

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    The Sumo Tournament is currently quite difficult since there are so many different kinds you have to counter inorder to get to last round. And usually in the last round there's one that uses brute force so you have to also counter that. As for the game in it's entirety it's mostly chill but as you get further it becomes alot more difficult with the increasing amount of enemies and hazards.

    The performance on the other hand varies greatly. If you only make small drones that don't go over 500 parts or so it usually doesn't dip under 25fps but after you get to the large drones like over 2000 part drones it can go as low as 0.04fps if you have alot of weapons shooting at the same time and if you have Bloom on higher than 50% it can go really slow real fast. I've experienced fps so low that everytime it advances one frame the game stops responding and comes back after like half a minute.

    The performance and Difficulty technically completely depend on how you like to play, Do you like to play with simple or complex and large drones, Do you want to challenge yourself by using weak weapons or do you want to just blast through everything with strong weapons and drones.

    Well I don't have any fast Snake/Worm Drones, Atleast they don't seem to be that fast. But I do have Planetary Eclipse which pretty much brings the end of the world wherever it goes.

    And it is quite large given how that's not the finished version. I've had larger and alot stronger Snake/Worm Drones but they have all been in the Demo so they cannot be used in the Closed Alpha. Currently the largest I had was this:

    But sadly I lost it before I could save it and make it straight, It was around 8000 parts. Then later on I started making Ouroboros which is the large drone with decorations that you have probably seen before. Ouroboros,

    Ouroboros.gif.1fbe80f566bc1cbdc8eb7748edab98b2.gif

    It originally started as a small-ish Snake/Worm drone made to dig out large planets in a short amount of time. But then while making it I decided that it should have decorations and such nobody else had ever made. So making the decorations began. And my first idea was to use drills for decoration, But that was too unstable to use as decorations. And then I had an amazing idea, What if I used weapons as decoration? I began experiementing with using weapons as decorations and came up with this style.

    By using Beams, snipers and flamethrowers as decorations I invented a completely new way to decorate large drones. It was stable too since all weapons are actually just 1 block and had quite a little amount of mass compared to other options. I expanded the decoration to everything in Ouroboros and so was Ouroboros born, It was quite small at the time but it was beautiful.

    Later on I made Ouroboros longer by copying the middle section and just pasting it until it was long enough. I decided to make it as close to 5000 as possible so then It became 5551 parts. This is the drone you have probably seen before in the Kickstarter, Steam Page, Twitter and such with this gif.

    This was my ticket to getting Closed Alpha, Making something really large, powerful and beautiful at the same time, And as my 4th drone?! This was truly something nobody had done before. After couple weeks I sent that it already got featured in the Twitter, Kickstarter and later on in the Steam Page. Jokingly I said that the drone got featured in the Twitter so is that technically winning a Gif Competition. To my surprise I actually got a key for the Closed Alpha. So I started making more Snake/Worm drones. This time with even more ridiculous weapons. But after trying to come up with stuff, I didn't get any inspiration to make something that could surpass Ouroboros' beauty and intimidation. After couple months when the Closed Alpha just became version 0.5.1 I finally got the strength and inspiration to make something again.

    I started working on Planetary Eclipse, I wasn't planning on making something as wide as Ouroboros this time, but something stronger. As I was making weapons for the new drone I was thinking of any ideas for decorations and such, This time I was aiming for something more mechanical and futuric looking instead of something aztec inspired. I was making it for around 4 days before I finished the front and the middle section. It wasn't as beautiful and large but it was alot stronger, laggier and destructive.

    It was decorated with leds alot more than Ouroboros and had alot stronger weapons than Ouroboros. But it wasn't that intimidating at first, I added more spikes into it's head and body and also added lasers around everything. It was starting to feel complete. But it didn't feel right, It didn't feel that large. I started adding more sections but everytime I did it just didn't feel right. As if it was missing something, It was missing the weapon decorations. But I didn't know how to decorate it after I already built it. I decided that I wouldn't decorate it with weapons, Saying that didn't feel right at all. That is the thing I am known for, And I am not doing it? I decided that I wouldn't make this as the new Ouroboros, But instead have this as a showcase of what is to come. While Planetary Eclipse isn't yet complete, Neither is the story. Planning on something insanely large, Something that shouldn't even be possible to make. But I haven't started this yet, And I won't start it until Planetary Eclipse is finished. Currently Planetary Eclipse is just a head and a body, There is no end of the body yet.

    While this is the current version of Planetary Eclipse, There will be more to come.
