@m14brony What a poor, sad little life you must lead

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Rarity

@rarity Also when I say "no way to backtrack", that's only until you beat the final boss. You can then backtrack freely, and even watch the credits and then reload your save if you want to

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Rarity

@rarity Yes but you're not gonna get anything you wouldn't be able to get by finishing the true ending and THEN resetting. The only way you'd lose out is if you went full genocide and then tried to do it again.

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Rarity

@rarity Once you finish the True Lab it'll put you back at the ending with no way to backtrack. Then you do different bosses and get the true ending

@yodeleerie ☺

@tiffany XY/ORAS might just load whole maps in at once now though. They have incredibly obvious map divisions everywhere now, even just between routes. It kind of upsets me after how seamless the worlds felt before to transition into tons of transition tunnels that ruin everything

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) orungano

@tiffany The map is stored in segments and only the segments needed are loaded in at once. This is most apparent in the 4th gen (DPPt/HGSS) because it's possible to run over load boundaries in specific patterns to screw up the loading mechanism and then you walk off the edge of the world into the void.

@tiffany I'm 99% sure you can convert BRSTMs to looped MP3s of arbitrary length

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) orungano

@tiffany Those usually get made into Brawl custom music that's loop pointed for proper indefinite playback

@ceruleanspark There is a (slight) chance that my boss would get onto me for that

@scrybus I need to find the local place that makes the good pizza around here. I know when I lived in Nashville it was Fox's, but unfortunately they're called local restaurants for a reason.

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Scribus

@scrybus Hey, Domino's is pretty good as far as big pizza chain pizza goes

@mrmattimation Well, it'd be a lot more effort to do it a diffferent way, but you could basically freeze the screen every 2-3 frames while running the game at a higher tic rate. Then you get what Spyro games (apparently) did, where they rendered at 30FPS but game logic was ran at 60hz. That'd be pretty complex to make happen, especially in Clickteam stuff (it'd be an incredibly ugly hack), but it's not impossible or anything.

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Matt

@mrmattimation Clickteam products (and I think GM as well) let you set the framerate to whatever you want, so you could literally just run it natively at 24FPS if you want if you were using one of those. Otherwise it's an incredibly basic feature that they can slow down animations to make one animation frame last longer than a single game frame

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Matt

@mrmattimation Most of it depends on the framework. I think Game Maker is better at handling object associations but it's hard to learn at first and some things require you to use a scripting language. Clickteam products are simple to get into and all GUI-based, but handling object associations/AI with multiple instances of an object is an absolute clusterbanana because there's no form of object-oriented logicbuilding and barely any way to point one object to another in the first place or even filter the instances decently.

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Matt

@mrmattimation That's probably the ideal way to do it. The exact setup you'd use depends on the engine you're using, but for example, with Clickteam stuff you can make a separate object that's always set to the same position/animation/direction as the main player for each customization layer and destroy the objects that aren't added at the start of the frame. For NPCs, if you don't have a ton of them and you don't want to randomize their appearances, you'd probably be better off baking the needed customizations into the object to simplify things.

RedEnchilada (notice the lack of a space) Matt

@mrmattimation Yes. Rendering out character animations and loading them in-game is a trillion times simpler than trying to recreate a puppet model in basically anything
