Project Nexus Update SOON@!

Posted by The-Swain - May 21st, 2012

Oh man, have we been working. WORKING, I SAY. Let me tell you a little story.

So we knew it would happen eventually - our file got too big. I blew my wad on a top-of-the-line computer just to export this mammoth beast for the initial launch. But with yet more help from Mike, we discovered a way to split the thing into manageable chunks and get the ball rolling again (a lot like what happened with BoMtoon's Abobo game).

Now Flash is getting wonky on us and we've run into bugs we're not used to dealing with. Not code problems, mind you...just...Flash being a complete moron. Symbols swapping their content, that sort of thing. We're meticulously combing through our work files trying to quash every usurping piece of garbage that crosses our paths.

Oh, but IT'S COMING. And it's coming with more content than all the previous updates combined. Just remember...

"We're not using the Zed-word!"

Yeah I hope so, soooooooooooon

VariableResponse 2012-05-21 16:36:18

Oh god, this is news more delicious than a s'more, and you KNOW s'mores are friggin delicious.

At some point or another I was like, "You know what? I'll stop spam checking the game and just wait for artist news." And here you are. With news. Yeah.

jmb13 2012-05-21 16:38:06

I spy with my little eye!

AceTriad 2012-05-21 16:43:17

Can you give us an approximate release date? And also, can you make 1.7 the last update before you start working on Episode 2?

The-Swain 2012-05-21 16:43:17

Wish I could give a date, but we're struggling against weird and unpredictable bugs. Once those are gone, we should be underway with a better timeframe.

pirate9899 2012-05-21 16:56:09

is it gonna be today or tomaorw or next year

The-Swain 2012-05-21 16:56:09

Both. All three.

italinbred94 2012-05-21 17:01:07

AWESOME!!!! dont forget this is your game add some funky funny weapons to knock around those fags on the beginning levels like plungers lmao but seriously good work and grats also i know you may not know exactly is there a time you will release it or what alike myself and your fans we were all wondering

ubercat 2012-05-21 17:02:34

oh man i can't wait...

Tony1511 2012-05-21 17:04:18

I appreciate all the work you guys are doing on it but pleaseeeeeeeeeee hurry up I'm starting to get bored with the M-249

The-Swain 2012-05-21 17:04:18

We are gonna introduce new elements to combat such as overheating and recoil which will bring the M249 down a notch. Also, units that force you into melee will make the weapon a nightmare to use at times. GOOD LUCK

BoMToons 2012-05-21 17:36:17

We dealt with that symbol swapping thing, and bitmaps turning into giant red squares in Abobo.

What I ended up doing was to "trace bitmap" the offending symbols and then compile and hope the .swc file didn't get corrupted. It seemed to work in most cases, but I know the frustration you're experiencing.

It's expensive, but you might consider upgraded flash to cs5.5 also, many of my problems went away with the latest version of flash.

Good luck!

The-Swain 2012-05-21 17:36:17

Some of the broken symbols seemed to fix themselves when I opened up both movieclips (the one being swapped into, and the one swapped from) and move the fills contained therein to the right, then back to the left so they return to their original placement. Then after ExportSWC the issue would go away.

If that doesn't work, something else I've done is to alter the contents of the symbol by painting a 0% alpha circle into the blank space near the actual art. That is such a DIRTY, FILTHY fix that I resent even calling it one. But altering the contents seems to be the only way to win against Flash's crappy disposition.

But really, at the end of the day we're using Flash so we all lose. :(

pvt900 2012-05-21 17:46:17

1 Thing dont make Recoil,and Overheating too large as recoil for me is about the same amount of a ok Quality Madness flash, and overheating wil lbe a good M249 Anti Fag Protection

'''We're not using the Zed-word!" Use it

LancerPantser7 2012-05-21 17:56:40

Great! I hope you guys can sort through all that! If only everyone else could realise the wonkiness of Flash. Then maybe they wouldn't hound you and Krinks so much. I understand how the random problems popping up makes it near impossible to put out a set release date, but it would make the wait a helluva lot more bearable knowing when it'll happen. Anyway, keep up the good work, Swain, and try not to put a bullet in somebody's head. =D

The-Swain 2012-05-21 17:56:40

I spend every waking hour trying to keep Krinkels from discharging his legally possessed firearms into a crowd. So far it's been a winning battle, in society's favor.

LEGOYasser 2012-05-21 18:01:20

...Oh Swain,you spoiled the weapons...WHERE IS THE G36 and Minigun!*Aiming a M9 on your head*

The-Swain 2012-05-21 18:01:20

G36 is the prettiest gun we've added to the game so far <3 I'm not kidding, the g36 is a gorgeous weapon and i'm surprised Matt waited this long to tell me "Swain, it needs to be in the game"

FlAsHi0Z 2012-05-21 18:04:04

Will the executions moves be added in this update or is that for 2 episode. A better question actualy is, would you care to spoil some of the update logs for us? we can keep it a secret from Krinkels.

The-Swain 2012-05-21 18:04:04

Executions are ready to go, but I cannot tell you why it's not ready yet. There's a very specific reason. See, Krinkels gave me the animations for executions a long time ago, and technically they were working in the game long before even shooting bullets at a dude cause damage and killed him. It was like...an extension of melee. But we scrapped it at first, mostly because it looked silly on stairs.

BUT...it WILL be included in the game soon. Executions will be part of a sort of "mercy" skill line, like Unarmed or Melee, and relating to the Zombie mode that will pop up later on. Oh, you'll see zombies in the next update, but NOTHING like their form in Ep 2.

FlAsHi0Z 2012-05-21 18:04:52

Ignore the bad grammar, im high right now.

The-Swain 2012-05-21 18:04:52

You and me both

pirate9899 2012-05-21 18:11:44

firehammer43 2012-05-21 19:34:53

Silvester Stalone "Hurry get to the chopper!!"

The-Swain 2012-05-21 19:34:53

Haha, were you being funny or do you not know that was Arnold?

austin562 2012-05-21 20:13:09

Put Halo Reach Armor for people if they are member of NG.

The-Swain 2012-05-21 20:13:09

I'd rather give NG members Tankmen armor

austin562 2012-05-21 20:37:34

There's a glitch where the controls get mix up like w is up s is to throw and pick up your weapon that all that's glitch out left and right is nothing.

AppleJack 2012-05-21 21:25:51

The-Swain 2012-05-21 21:25:51

The tommygun is for shooting coppers.

max4000 2012-05-21 21:57:25
