(UNKNOWN TIME) Departure from PB
« on: February 24, 2019, 03:14:45 AM »
Okay, the title is a bit extreme, but I didn't know how else to really title this! I'm not saying I'm leaving, or lost interest, I'll still be around. I'm simply stating that I will not be able to be on steam, or use PB for awhile. I can't say when I'll get back to it, because that's really unknown. I'll still reply to messages here, but if you try contacting on steam, I'll likely not be there. And, if you do have something to say, say it in a PM here. Steam deletes messages that like, 7 days old or something. So, It'll be awhile before I get back to steam and using PB, but I'll still check these wonderful forums every day but Sunday.

You know, I thought about taking one of my old power-ups (which hasn't been in development for a long time) from ASM, and actually making it useful. It was the Buggy car. It's funny, because last night, I dreamed I had a voice activated car. I thought to myself, that would be perfect for the buggy car! You can pause, then select a command for the car. The only catch is that it would take a few seconds for it to engage the commands. I thought that I could also have the character say the commands, then the car say something like, "Engaging hyper drive" or something. Anyway, as soon as I can get back to work on ASM, I plan to do this. What do you guys think?

I think it would be cool. I had these ideas in mind:

Spring Jump
Hyper Speed
Fire Boomerang
Fire bomb
Deploy Shield

And that's about it.

Anyway, I think it would be cool.

Oh, and also, a character I thought could also be a mechanic. So, I was thinking that you could go upgrade the buggy, and buy new abilities. I forgot to mention that. Like, improving how high the spring jump takes you, or adjust how fast the hyper speed option can go etc. If any of you have any ideas for this cool feature, please let me know either here, or on the ASM game page!

more content means more stuff to do, so I guess I want it in.
unless it's gonna slow down the development process.

Not at all! ASM was intended to be big. Like super mario odyssey. But, not big as in huge openworld kingdoms, but huge as in lots of levels, tons of things to do, and...well...Lots to do. My development has already been slowed down by me not being able to work on it, but I think (I can't confirm this) I can get back to work on it soon. Very soon.
