Re: (Possible) new kaiju game from Matt Frank and Simon Stra
Awh, but it'd be like the Godzilla game's own little Giga Bowser type character (or I guess more accurately Landmaster). :3
Though I would agree that just because Mothra can do it doesn't mean we need any more characters to hop on her gimmick wagon. Was hoping to add a bit of variety to the idea of transformation type monsters. Like with Hedorah, crouching (probably combined with another button) could transform him into his land form to make him more agile. Standing brings him back to normal. Holding the jump button could transform him into his flying form. I suppose each would have energy costs? Adapting to his environment is more in tune with his character at least than my suggestion for Monster X's type of transformation. Variety is just the very best.
Oh yeah, I'm kind of obsessed with proper scaling, so I would enjoy a mode that scaled monsters according to their height compared to Godzilla. Obviously, having a 50m Baragon up against a 150m Biollante (assuming Godzilla was 100m) would present a few problems, but in some cases I think that'd almost be the point. It'd make the canonically small monsters have a disadvantage to the canonically big. Purposely creating unevenness. I can't rationally say it's the best of optional mode ideas, but my irrational love for proper scaling compels me to mention it.

Re: (Possible) new kaiju game from Matt Frank and Simon Stra
I think you found the problem. Almost every battle in GU ends with both monsters pummeling eachother at one of the walls. Even if there are walls eventually, they should at least be far enough away from the main map that the battle doesn't naturally move there (i.e. far enough away from crystals/buildings that there's no reason to get close to them).Living Corpse wrote:I'm fine with Boundaries, I mean don't get me wrong, a free roaming sandbox Godzilla game would be amazing to play if pulled off well but be a total nightmare to actually make and get to work.
As long as the arena is HUGE so I don't run into a wall a lot I'm fine with boundaries.
Personally, I'm actually not that big a fan of speed. I always used the slowest monster setting on GU, and it still felt too fast-paced for giant city-crushing juggernauts.Mr Strange wrote:I've tried a few complex building iteractions over the years, but they tend to be hard to use. The main problem is that the monsters are so FAST. Pushing a building onto another monster sounds awesome, but it practice it was basically impossible when monsters can jump half a mile in 1 second. If we slowed down the monsters a good deal, then we could try things like that - but everyone seems pretty addicted to speed, so I doubt we'll see that.

Re: (Possible) new kaiju game from Matt Frank and Simon Stra
Huh? The film had already premiered on Sci-Fi, and had been available on DVD for at least a year by the time G:STE was released.Gorosaurus Rex wrote:It sounds reasonable that a younger fan may have first encountered a character like Megaguirus in a video game. Her film wasn't widely available or aired in the US at the time.

I'll gladly eat crow if it doesn't turn out that way....but at this point it feels painfully obvious, as it has for months.

When does the new games beta test start?
I'm going to pay enough to beta test, so when does it start? I can't wait to try it!

Re: When does the new games beta test start?
There is no official announcement when the game will even begin production. Let alone a beta test.
Don't try to be something else. Don't try to be less. Great things are going to happen in your life. Great things. And with that will come great responsibility.

Re: When does the new games beta test start?
I just have no idea what you're talking about. How could a beta have been released last month if the game hasn't even started development yet? Where did you get that info? Do you mean March of next year? If so, where did you get that info? I'm completely baffled here.

Got it. IGNORE ME
Though it sounds like the beta will be available prior to the tentative March '13 launch.

Re: (Possible) new kaiju game from Matt Frank and Simon Stra
This, so much this. If speed is what has to be sacrificed for more, and more meaningful building interactions, sign me up! These are gigantic monsters, it just makes sense for them to move a little slower.W2daERN wrote:Personally, I'm actually not that big a fan of speed.

Hey Simon, if you guys make enough money, will you bring back boxing arena from Godzilla: Save the Earth?

No. The game will hopefully be RELEASED March of next year. Contributors will be getting in-progress builds as soon as September of this year.

The Boxing Arena (a flat, featureless environment) is at the top of my list - because it's trivial to create.matrix wrote:Hey Simon, if you guys make enough money, will you bring back boxing arena from Godzilla: Save the Earth?

This game already has enough threads going for it. Stop making new threads just to ask a question that could easily go in one of them.

So if your going to have grapples, we should think of some, for Titanosaurus, he should do what he did in the movie, bite him to pick him up, then beat him down with punches!

Not to hate on the Boxing Ring, but could we use something new, like an MMA octagon?

Simon, when you say, contributers will be getting in game builds around september, does that mean there will be previews around september, or beta is around september?
