Great. I wanna see this finished.

 

[Karnage]

Agreed

 

[BunnyKinx]

I know it will be good... i would like to know how you do the stealth parts :D

 

[arctrooper48]

Did you ever finish mushroom eater?

 

[saikyo765]

I'm sorry, what do you mean? :D

Did you ever finish mushroom eater?

Sadly no. The pc i was developing it on got destroyed when hurricane katrina flooded my house.


I'm still developing the story.
I was thinking about making a funny storyline with serious gameplay, like how mushroom eater was.

Like remaking all the maps from Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and just making a diffrent story and diffrent bosses and stuff.

What do you guys think?

and is the charsets and chipsets ok so far?

 

[BunnyKinx]

i mean how are you going to make a good AI and stuff will light affect the enemys vison... its just i know its VERY VERY hard to do.

 

[saikyo765]

well i already developed an enemy AI.
no plans to make lighting affect gaurd vision yet, since the lighting effects are just cosmetic fog. lol plus im not sure if i should add lighting effects or not.

The enemy AI works simple, by a few scripts.

the gaurd vision can see 3 tiles like this.


....... sight sight sight sight sight
GAURD- sight sight sight sight sight
....... sight sight sight sight sight

and i can set it to how many tiles AHEAD he can see.

if he sees you, he fires at you, then runs to a secure area to call for backup.
then it goes to ALERT mode.

gaurds that are already programmed on that map come out with more HP and heavier firepower (like shotguns and stuff)

after alert, evasion, and caution mode ends, then the gaurds return to there patrol position by using the pathfinding script.

This looks amazing! I want to learn hoe you did the AI and the scripts for all this. I've been trying to do something like this for 3 years.

Please finish it, then make MSX Metal Gear 1

lol that sounds like a plan.

well the guards just scripts like

Pathfinding.
Enemy Vision.
Shooting script (original)
and some event coding...

its actually not all that hard to do :D

 

[BunnyKinx]

lol i know how you did it but i did not think you would still be on a early project when you are this far through the game lol

good luck :D

early codec test.

lol and thanks.

im also looking for people to help out with the story.

 

[saikyo765]

Ok, i need to ask everyone an important question.

For the game would you rather have it screen by screen type maps?

or bigger maps?



Oh another comparison shot

[saikyo765]

lol no comments or anything? =[

 

[saikyo765]

well im just using those for now
im actually going to draw the facesets for the codec, scan them, then color them in

 

[Balian]

I think you should use screen by screen to keep it real. Thats how the old MG was and since your making a Re-make you want to keep it close as possible to the older verison.

I can help with the story, just P.M me. I'm a huge MGS fan as you can tell by my ava.

 

[ablahblah987]

I think it'd be tight if you dramatized the story and the cutscenes to make it just like a MGS game.

Excatly what i was thinking
I been writing alot of the story lately so sorry for the lack of updates.
There will be new music, SFX, more dramatized cutscenes, and a little more fun factor and easter eggs than the original MG2SS

Thanks for the idea though my friend

where's a script that lets you sneak like that? I'm using a similar sneak idea but have no clue on how to make it work (i.e where a character gets spotted the enemy will chase after them, resulting in battle!)

 

[Nico_14_Ian]

Also, for your cutscenes it would be cool if you could draw them out and play them out like a comic-book ala Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel, without voices of course!! That way when BigBoss gets beat by a can of hairspray we can all see his image light up on fire!
