Guest Mr Lange Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Keeping them is fine too. I was just thinking them being halved actually gave gravity to losing the shield. Losing fire/water/electricity shields frustrates the hell out of me because you lose the double jump or the infinite breath or the fire dash abilities you had before. If you lost the ring shield the player would just shrug it off as the effect it had hasn't completely gone. Having half the rings disappear is not only fair but it actually gives the player a bigger reason to be more careful with the shield. That doesn't make any sense. There is no advantage to having twice as many rings other than score. Reducing the rings after the shield is lost means there is no point in the ring shield at all, it might as well just be a normal shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 @Bliz That would be great, hit me up on Skype so we can talk about this. @Lange I may decided to have Super Sonic playable outside the final boss, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 The point of it is to increase the chance in getting extra lives not to increase the score, who cares about the score? You have 90 rings and with the shield you're 10 away from an extra life, then you lose it and your rings are down to 45 which is considerably more away from an extra life. But again I will stress that you can do what you want Alex, it's your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Noted. Edit: In fact, Apricity makes a good point. I'm planning on placing some particularly evil challenges for those who end up on a bad path. Hell, even the first act of the game has its own slightly evil bumper/bottomless pit challenge. The ring shield could grant you 1 UPs to better your chances, but there is a risk involved in it, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Lange Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 That's hardly a reason to warrant a new shield. It has no impact on the gameplay mechanics themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfinityAlex Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 New art is currently being implemented. I'm holding off any screen shots until the SAGE demo now, though if I can't make SAGE I'll keep providing dev screen shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I think there's a possibility that it went from "big change" to "divided by zero in order to get results." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalSonic30 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hmm... Sonic Infinity... I like it! It sounds like something SEGA/Sonic Team would probably use! And that's a good thing (or a bad thing, whatever floats your boat)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
