24: Tabletop TF2

[zakeroph]

SOOOO MUCH FUN!

all i say to you is...YOINK!

Also great team mechanic, otherwise the gamplay is solid and fun, i really enjoyed it.

A few wording issues but i have already mentioned that :)

Oooh, sounds delicious! Can't wait to give this a shot when there's time to schedule for it!

Is it coming to CT? If so, count me in!

Well, I did ask dislekcia if I could courier it after the 14th but he was adamant that he'd have already done all the judging before then. I could possibly still organise said courier, but it's up to D.

Also, the misunderstandings came from the bonus ranges on some of the cards. To clarify (using the engineer cards as examples):

[1x]Wrench [Value: 2; Bonus: Plus 5 if enemy token is in adjacent block]
A player will get the bonus if his/her token is in a block right next to the enemy token.

[2x]Pistol [Value: 4; Bonus: Plus 2 if enemy token is one block away]
A player will get the bonus if there is a one block space between his/her token and the enemy token.

Thanks to everyone who tried it out with me over the weekend. Comments were invaluable. Lulz were epic ;)

[dislekcia]

Oh right. Competition's done... Completely slipped my mind, tbh ;)

[dammit]

No couriering to CT. Decided to spend my monies on another season of House MD. I might bring the game up to CT when I'm there for UCT's open day, depending on what's happening.

Epic battle pics from the Durban Devlan: Medic vs Heavy is serioz buzinez







(To explain, first round Heavy used the Sandwich, while Medic played the Kritz. This meant that the heavy had a plus 1 value for his next card but his next card value would be divided by 2 - because of the kritz. Second round, Heavy plays Higher Ground plus Sasha while Medic plays Syringe Gun and Ammo pickup. These two combinations plus the effects of the first round's cards force a third round, where the Medic is out of ammo -face down card - and so the Heavy wins with another Sasha card.)

Thanks to everyone who joined in :D

[dislekcia]

Man, I really need to get this all printed out!

[dammit]

Yeah, you really do :P

Hehe, was awesome! Most epic battle ever! I've started saving up so I can go and print the game out for myself... Don't think I can wait another 2 months for revenge :P (Good job on the design btw!)

^____^ Thank you! I had a lot of help from lots of people with the design so I cannot take all the credit.

PS: Perhaps hold off on the printing since I'm hoping to update a few aspects before the end of the month.

The one main problem I've had in playing this game is the constant need to refer to the rules to double check bonus moves and ranges. Gazza suggested a quick reference sheet for each team, so here they are [arty stuff by Kharrak again :D]:

This game looks pretty rad. I assume it'll probably be up at rAge this year?

^_^ thank you. I honestly don't know if I'll be able to make rage this year, we'll see closer to the time. Presumably, dislekcia will have actually printed out a copy by Oct, but whether he feels like dragging it to JHB is another question. Time will tell.

Print shops are dicks. Seriously... It might actually be easier to get the whole thing re-printed at the places I know that aren't dicks up north.

[Zen]

I rate it'd be pretty cool to have the game projected onto a fairly large screen, with sound effects and animations galore. May make for a very unique rAge experience.

[dammit]

Um, Zen, you realise it is an actual board game, right? I have yet to bother making it playable on a PC.

Yes I do realise that, but animated it with the TF2 sounds would be so uber.

Made any progress on this front yet?

05:13 PM - XennoX: Do you think you are going to get around to animating it? :P
05:13 PM - XennoX: (Just out of curiosity)
05:14 PM - GODdammit: well
05:14 PM - GODdammit: i don't actually know if i can
05:14 PM - GODdammit: like
05:14 PM - GODdammit: i would presume the first way would be to run a single player one
05:14 PM - GODdammit: but that's a whole lot of AI
05:15 PM - GODdammit: and i know nothing about that
05:15 PM - XennoX: Hmmm
05:15 PM - GODdammit: the other would be networking
05:15 PM - GODdammit: and i know even less about that
05:15 PM - XennoX: I don't mean like create a game on the PC
05:15 PM - GODdammit: oh?
05:15 PM - XennoX: I mean like when you (hopefully) get it at rage
05:15 PM - XennoX: Create a sound board or something :)
05:15 PM - GODdammit: o.O ?
05:16 PM - GODdammit: you'll have to explain what that is
05:16 PM - GODdammit: or how you see it implemented
05:16 PM - XennoX: Like you put pressure pads or sensors underneath significant points on the board
05:16 PM - XennoX: for example
05:17 PM - XennoX: red steals blue's flag
05:17 PM - XennoX: and it plays that little jingle that is in TF2
05:17 PM - GODdammit: :o
05:17 PM - XennoX: when that said event occurs
05:17 PM - GODdammit: wow that would be cool
05:17 PM - GODdammit: but how would i get that made?
05:17 PM - GODdammit: who would make it?
05:18 PM - XennoX: I have no clue
05:18 PM - GODdammit: hahaha
05:18 PM - XennoX: but I'm sure there are a few people on the Dev forums
05:18 PM - XennoX: that'd be willing to do the software side of it
05:18 PM - GODdammit: well
05:18 PM - GODdammit: would you be so kind as to post your idea in the thread?
05:19 PM - XennoX: Thats what I did :P
05:19 PM - XennoX: Hence I asked you if you were going to animate it :P
05:20 PM - XennoX: True I guess its not the FULL idea with explanation
05:20 PM - GODdammit: yeah, you were rather vague
05:20 PM - GODdammit: :P
05:20 PM - XennoX: hehehehe
05:21 PM - XennoX: I'm usually not that vague :P
05:21 PM - XennoX: Also, a PC game /could/ be done
05:21 PM - XennoX: but not with AI
05:21 PM - XennoX: Perhaps a local PC game at first
05:21 PM - XennoX: and then it moves onto a networked game etc
05:21 PM - XennoX: Granted
05:21 PM - GODdammit: I'll need loads of help with that programming
05:21 PM - XennoX: it is a step up
05:22 PM - GODdammit: but, one thing at a time :)
05:22 PM - XennoX: indeed
05:22 PM - XennoX: :)
05:22 PM - GODdammit: But please, post your not so vague ideas on the thread. I misunderstood you first time round :P
05:24 PM - XennoX: hehehehe
05:24 PM - XennoX: Essentially how you would do it
05:24 PM - XennoX: Is you'd have your markers for lack of a better word
05:25 PM - XennoX: that would have a magnet attached to the underside of them
05:25 PM - XennoX: and when the flag square gets moved upon
05:25 PM - XennoX: there would be a coil underneath it
05:25 PM - XennoX: that would have an electrical current induced
05:25 PM - XennoX: creating a signal for the jingle to be played
05:25 PM - XennoX: :)
05:25 PM - GODdammit: that's so clever

So, anyone want to help me on either route (PC programming or mechanics of a sound board board) ?
