Testing frantic / beta discussion thread

Post by **ecvej** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 11:29 pm

Thread for discussing the test game announced here.

Please remember the game is nowhere near being finished:

Graphics are basic.
Not many new features have been implemented (my first focus has been updating the ancient v1 code). New features will follow much more quickly once the code is improved.
WAP not done yet.
Autopilot system doesn't work in frantics but I've left the interface displaying so you can look at it and suggest improvements.
Java needed to load the map. I'll do a version in flash shortly which will load quicker.

If you're wondering what the game settings are then you can view them here e.g. it's 5 moves to hyper.

is there no longer a gate from HW to Roids? or was it just tick 1? because there wasnt the gate open on tick 2.

what is the latest you can jump in a tick SoT and EoT same as old frantic?

1 min for both - the timer goes red when you can't jump.

thanks.

You can hyper cloaked. Not sure if that's intentional or not, but if it is it's a great addition.
