Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Also a little disappointing that it looks like they have healthbars.
'cause, y'know, the weight mechanic in SSMB is a big part of what makes it interesting and fun.
actually looking at the wiki page, those are apparently special bars that fill up as you land hits on enemies, and when you max it out you can do a super move, and super moves are the only attacks capable of KOing

Alright, that's better.
Who knows, maybe it'll be the Darksiders of SSMB ripoffs.
Probably not, but, anything's possible, man.
However, I'm also feeling good about how I'm handling Inquisit do far. I was a little shaky with him at first, but I like the Rough Exterior thing I got going with him now.
Still need to roll in more first person monologues, though. Not too many, too quick, as that kills the joke.

I used to joke about SSMB games where you have characters like Kratos beside characters like Mario.
Boy.
Anyway, it might be great. We'll see.
I can't write anything of any quality until I get this paper done

In the City, the phrase "red sky at night, sailors delight" has far more to do with the hopes of shore leave than the weather.
There is a day/night cycle, but it's basically just determined by how bright the sky is.

Irmin crosses the street to get a better view of the warehouse. It is remarkably unremarkable - just another squat building of corrugated steel. Dim fluorescent lights flicker from inside the building, and some faint noise can be made out. Conversation, perhaps, or just a radio left on. Its front gates are chained shut, but an access door on the side hangs open, with no guard in sight.
Sadly for Cecil, it does not look like they a water entrance.
[Fregdup]
[21%/40%] as Kain easily navigates his way to the bottom of the pit, Samedi picks up the emergency light, half-buried in balls - a baton about a foot in length, essentially just a steel cage around a cylindrical lightbulb. A fairly standard design used in construction work and rescue situations.
[Yasteb (+48ish)]
[Haze Group] Speed, Jtlkrek, and presumably Werne, step out of the Mach 0.
The Haze is rough and hard beneath their feet, like white rock, formed in great, slanting chunks. The wind is cold, and it tingles as it slides into their lungs. The expanse of white around them is eerily quiet, as if there were nothing in the world but this place. As if they were all alone in the universe.
The white goes on forever, empty save for the shadows dancing on its horizon. Restless monoliths, uncertain of their edges.
The ruined ship is almost a comfort, its battered, rust-covered sides a reminder of what the world should look like. A memory of reality.
Clambering up onto the steepest of the rocky slabs, Speed stands beside the thing's starboard tread, the drive wheels taller than he is, their bolts each larger than his head. High above he can make out hatches, likely cannon ports. They're low enough that they might be able to reach them from atop the treads.
"Weird," Jtlkrek says, pulling off her sunglasses. She raises a hand to point at the tattered rag hanging from the ship's collapsed mast. "The color is off." She shakes her head. "Man, the crazy must be catching."
But Speed knows he's not crazy.
And he knows the shredded flag hanging from that mast isn't tan.
It's sienna.
[Science Group] Teless shakes his head. "No can do, Chrissi. All my other clothes, are dirty, and that, would be gross." He wanders back toward his desk and drops into his chair, waving the two Unbound into the room. "C'mon in. What's the business?"
[Lemit]
Scrawny stares blankly at Daliah, then turns to Zee. "You got any clue what the fuck she's sayin'?"
[Karsif]
[74%/85%] Working together, Penny and Clyde manage to toss Lorenzo's body aside. The corpse tumbles to the ground, face-down.
It opens its mouth, and howls itself back up, a column of excrement lifting it back into a standing position.
[HEX]
Warwick mixes himself a drink, finding the minibar in his room fully capable of replicating just about any form of alcohol he desires.

It takes Speed a minute to even realize what Jtlkrek is confused about. "Oh right, everything's supposed to stick to a small number of colors this time around, isn't it. That asshole must be getting lazy to make an error like this." Speed attempts to climb the side of the ship and take the sienna rag.

"Ahn, ye! In da deep darkness, da Shadow Master did call out, 'ey yo, let dere be Light'." He flicks the switch from power save mode to full power. "Ahn yo dat shit was hella good, ya"
The baron's self shadow on the wall grabs the shadow of the torch. The real Samedi releases his grip on it and the torchlight bobs about in the air next to 'im.
" 'Ey poindexters 'ow I look? One pointy 'at away from being a real wizard, right?" He says with arms extended, like a man looking for applause.

Clyde is caught off-guard by the sheer intensity of Penny's furious eyes, blinking twice.
He throws the zombie off her as he kicks it from below. "Just wonderin' how the magician managed to get ya is all." he recovers with a crooked smile.
Running around the Lorenzo zombie, Clyde halts briefly as he sees Penny's hand raised once more, a frown on his face. "C'mon Penelope... he's fresh, warm. Let me handle him; Ricky could use some company." Sides, this was clearly his kill, what with him deciding so a fair minute ago. There are rules...somewhere. For sure.
Still, a distraction is a distraction. He advances forward, shuffling side to side as he attempts a wide slash at the magician's back neck.

Snapping the phone shut and shoving it into a pocket, Inquisit trudges to the hole. "Yeah, nothin' much else going on here." With that, he lights a cigar and foot-slides down the hole. At the bottom he takes a big drag off said stogie, blows out his closest approximation to smoke-circuitry and says "Alright you mugs, let's get ballin'."

you should always be grateful there wasn't a closet involved
