Sorta Important Poll: Instakills (or lack therof) in the Lair
Okay, so this is a bit of an odd thing I've stumbled upon.
It looks like player-based instakill attacks (Unscrew 1, 2 and Esc Key) aren't actually supposed to work at all in the Geist Lair in the original.
Do I return this feature and disable player instakills, or do I keep it active and lower the chance of success?
---
Option 1: Make Geist Lair an instakill-free zone
Option 2: Let instakills still be (slightly) viable in the Geist Lair
Still deciding if it's worth committing to a full rebuild, but I at least figured out a better way to handle the party swapping mechanic.
Ouch.
Huh, neat.
Suppose it was rude to take down the demo and not at least show off something as compensation.
Mini Progress Update:
Motivation came back for a bit, so I figured I'd use it to bring Minibosses back into the fray
(Also working on a demo-specific sidequest that hands out powerups.)
I think I know what needs to be done to shake up XL's next public appearance...
Got a (mostly stable) demo ready for the occasion!
So, Plan B: The remainder of tonight will run V1 of a solo OCN mode, with an updated version coming tomorrow during the end of the con.
(And a further refined public release of this later on. If there's interest.)
First signs of danger.
