Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 As far as I've seen, there's no "Forgotten" zone anywhere in G1--and I've been in just about every nook & cranny in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 For clarification, TJC is talking about Riibu's map of G1. And there's no forgotten zone, just a numbering error. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Well done Dikiyoba, now it makes sense. TJC Shaper has erroneously attributed significance to Riibu's accidental omission of no. 10, when labelling her map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Too bad, though. In G5, Jeff should put in a whole Easter egg zone, that's really hard to get into. It could hold the obligatory Create Ornk canister, plus a bunch of weird extra stuff. Like a working Geneforge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 There was an error with restarting (it being, you explode as soon as you try). I fixed it and uploaded the new version: play it here if you feel the need. Listen, you're zapping the Artila, but the game will regardless be called "Whack the Artila." It's what Haakai-Tender Valcrist wanted! (He just spelled "whack" as "wack" which is unacceptable to me). Anyway, I was going to make variations with Ornk (because they look particularly silly when killed) but I was so whacked out after making this (in one sitting) I decided against it. I have this nasty habit (of using too many parentheses). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Funny your high score should be 110. Mine is 111! Of course, swf files have lower framerates when run in a browser. It's supposed to be 30 and when I run it in firefox it seems like 25. Think I should make my own Ornk graphic, or game or something. I've always liked them, although I was really turned off by the monotonous phrase, "This particular piece of livestock seems friendly enough, but has neither the ability nor the inclination to have a conversation with you."

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Quote: Originally written by Nick Ringer:Funny your high score should be 110. Mine is 111! I got to 134, at which point the game became literally impossible: the rate at which artilas were appearing and spitting acid was faster than the minimum delay between shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 The rate at which they appear speeds up to every 15 frames. The frequency with which they spit acid is random (I think it's a 1% chance for each Artila at any given frame), but no Artila will spit acid until it has been idle 5 frames, plus its creation animation, maybe 15 frames. So assuming you click each Artila within 20 frames of its creation, it's impossible to get hit. The minimum delay between zaps is 16 frames, I think, but you can still use all 20 frames to aim. Provided you don't miss, the game never becomes impossible. But it's pretty damned hard after 100! Quote: Wading through the meadow, you notice one ornk seems different from the others. As you get close, you realize it has been watching you and is only pretending to graze. It approaches you, making full eye contact, and rises to stand on its hind legs. Then, it speaks. "Hello, Shaper. My name is Bruce. Welcome to my pasture." 1. How can you talk? 2. You say this is your pasture? 3. Are there others like you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody We Didn't Shard of Fire Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 1. How can you talk? Bruce stares at you, looking about as irritable as an ornk can manage to look. "How can you walk on two legs?" Well, sheesh, you were just kind of in shock. It's talking livestock for pity's sake. (Wait. This isn't real is it? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Quote: 2. You say this is your pasture? "Yes. I am king of the ornks. After the rogues chased off or killed all the serviles who watched over us, I was visited by a marvelous, glowing ornk. He named me king and told me to protect this pasture and herd from dangers. And that is what I have done." Bruce looks satisfied. The arrogance of this mere livestock infuriates you. Serviles and drakons revolting against the Shapers is one thing, but ornks? 1. (Try and calm down.) 2. Die, bacon, die! Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guessed the exact reason I can't put in a scoreboard (although if I could I probably wouldn't bother to). The snarling and hissing noises are actually recordings of me snarling and hissing (respectively). The zap noise and explosion, I nicked off some royalty-free SFX sites. And the explosion is how Shapers should die! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 1. (Try and calm down.) High canister usage-as you try to calm down, the fury worsens and everything turns red as you lash out at the ornks. Low canister usage-You successfully calm down, and at the same time the ornk looks up at you. 2. Die, bacon, die! "You would try to kill me!!! Please consider!" 1. Nevermind, I will just leave. *convernsation ends* 2. No, I'm hungry. "Verywell" At that moment, you see that he is not ordinary...but very powerful.

Kyshakk Koan Nick Ringer Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I didn't want it to end that way! Poor Bacon. So I was thinking everyone should take one sprite map from the game and convert it to whatever silly, candy-cane infested version they like. Then, we compile them, replace our data folders, and try to play the new ridiculous Geneforge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Why did I always assume that the three canister version of the Ornk would be an Oozebeast?
