TWE is Stayin' Alive.

tis true, mah nigga.

Okay, now since that motherfuckin shit is out of the motherfuckin way. I've made some noticeable changes to the game today, and I wanted to see what some of you think.

So what I did to the graphics was that I made them less happy-go-lucky and colorful, because it made the game look goofy and childish. I also did it because, it was an eyesore, I realized this today, when I played the game for the first time in months, so hopefully the graphics look less shit, and they won't burn your eyes out.

I wanted the game to have a more apocalyptic and gritty feel to it, and I wanted to give the campaign a more desperate and hopeless tone to it, so I toned down the colorfulness of the game.

Also, I remember Stevenup said that it was hard to tell what was obstacles and what wasn't. So I thought that this was the best possible solution, for now. tell me what you think.

(yes I know the graphics are still horrible, these are far from the final graphics, just showing you where I'm headed with them.) :(

Okay, with that out of the way, next alpha might be sometime soon. Sorry about delaying it so long, it was supposed to be originally released a few months ago(August I think). So Qwilderwibben sent me a PM sounding pissed, because he needs something for his youtube videos.

[quote=Qwilder's angry ass PM]Where's mah TWE beta, nigguh? >:(

DONT WORRY, HAVE NO FEAR, JID IS HERE.

Also, new ideas for the campaign, going to make a certain section of the campaign have a survival horror feel to it. Which should be interesting and add more variety.

Also, also, also…. One last thing, Alert's API is going pretty well, so Multiplayer for TWE is definately becoming more and more possible.

Lastly, I was thinking about making a holloween themed game, or something else I'm not gonna mention yet because I want it to be a random thing that comes out of nowhere.

K that's it…. So…. um…. yeah…

At first I thought that was a picture of a giant black penis.

The flames need to be more orange.

What I meant with the depth was just it seemed weird for the flames to go underneath the enemies in the video when fire always goes up. In your comment's screenshot it looks all good to me

@Moikle

eh, okay. I'll make it slightly more orange.

I'll use this pic to make it as accurate as possible.

@Zac

oh, I did that because the flames looked really weird when they are overlapping the enemy sprites, but that's only because of my horrible spriting skills. :(

Okay, done.

Looks actually pretty good. Now the flamethrower is my favorite weapon cuz it's just so damn pretty to look at.

Here's some pics:

So, orange enough for you?

You can make the creator with an alpha channel and blend it in with the other stuff. Other than that the graphics arent too bad, but later on theyd be improved with more interest.

And yeah im just making sure the highscores and achievements all work with the new encryption and stuff. Hopefully I can come up with some better methods of attempting to join matches too.

They glow very bright when they first come out of the flamethrower, but I guess I'll add that in, I'll post some pics in a bit.

I just wanna know how this blog became a flamethrower discussion. :p
