HugoLuman Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've started coding the Yinvader shells, though I still don't know where to begin on the Yin Controller and could use a lot of help there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragonath Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 This is an incredibly well thought out idea and I really like the concept of it. The spriting also looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakers457 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I would be really excited to see this come into fruition. The concept is pretty unique by SS13 terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'll start up work on these guys again soon. IRL came up and put me off it for a couple months. Hopefully the work I have so far doesn't merge conflict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlattestGuitar Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hopefully the work I have so far doesn't merge conflict May God have mercy on your code. Also, glad to see you back around, excited to see Yin in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugoLuman Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 And now I've updated my files, I can get back to work on these. What there is so far: https://github.com/HugoLuman/Paradise/tree/YinNew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyet Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Tested this a little today. Their disguise ability is neat, and the little worm-Yin are surprisingly cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Made new branch on Git due to troubles updating a 3-month-out-of-date one. Here's where all the code is so far: https://github.com/HugoLuman/Paradise/tree/YinNew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrubmcnoob Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 This antag is looking pretty good, especially the spriting job you are doing. At any rate, hope you keep the good work up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Well the bad news is we've got a feature freeze, no new feature PRs allowed until possibly 2017. The good news is, this is a good opporunity to rebase my branch and keep updating without having to worry about new features that break everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 The feature freeze is over, I will begin working on this again sometime this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiberDark Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 God, this looks really nice. I wish you great success with the coding. Looks like you have found some coders helping you. This is a good sign for this project. Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugoLuman Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have officially begun work on these again. After updating the code to match the present codebase, I've noted three issues to work on: Runtimes when switching perspective between worm and humanoid Surgically inserting the yin back into a humanoid shell still does not work Icons for non-humanoid yin shells do not update correctly https://github.com/HugoLuman/Paradise/tree/YinNew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugoLuman Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 I've had more thoughts on how the roundtype might work: Victory Conditions: YIN MAJOR VICTORY if they have certain structures built and fully operational on the station z level, and possibly a certain number of slaves/resources, and possibly if they have destroyed/subverted/banished the AI CREW MAJOR VICTORY if the Yin Controller pod is destroyed or if all Yin are killed/incapacitated YIN MINOR VICTORY if the crew escapes, abandoning the station to the Yin but denying full optimization of available resources from slaves No one wins the the station is destroyed Dynamics: The yin will need to build up resources, most likely by cannibalizing the station and/or hijacking mining. They can gain benefits by building certain structures, possibly giving them a research dynamic similar to Science or Cult (in the context of doing certain processes to acquire new capabilities). These could be new equipment for Yinfiltraters/Yinslaved (humanoids), upgrades to the base capabilities of the various shells, or other buffs. There could be a balance between producing expensive Invader shells and not having as much tech to fall into station hands or producing small arms for the humanoids but creating more samples for the crew to steal. The crew may be able to create new countermeasures by acquiring samples of Yin tech and researching them, most likely taking the form of defenses, gaining access to Yin comms, and ways to help the yinslaved.

HugoLuman Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've solved a couple bugs and fleshed out the HUDs for the yin and their shells a bit. Also, the Yinvader shells have some animations for situations now, such a powering on/off, dying, and gibbing Updating checklist of things to do: -Finish Yinvader shields -Fix runtime when Yin eject from or are dismembered out of Yinfiltrator shells -Solve Yinvader icon update bugs -Implement tool selection in HUD of Yinvader shells (could very much use some help on that front) -Create the engineering shells and give them a cool name -Create the Yin Controller shell and all the necessary HUD, view, and roundtype code for it -Finish the Yinslaved. Figure out how to work their icons, including inheriting clothing fit sprites from their original species, create the organs/implants they need for mechanics -Playtest and balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 The sprites look very nice. It reminds me of Starbound or Terraria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracarus Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 this is something i would like to see in this game! but, i think that they need a master, like one "king or one queen", to coordinate their movements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willior13 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 How about the leader being called the overseer, It would add more to the whole enslaving the station feel and once it dies a message will pop up saying that they are free until another overseer is made. Also, could slaves be made with an implant too to allow some of them to be saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malphystoh Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This is just awesome. I was kicking around some ideas last night and this is really inspiring. Thanks for all your hard work, can't wait to see how it all works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life keeps getting in the way but I've come across another stretch of time in which I can \o/ To solve a long-standing issue with the pilot creatures, I'm going to refactor how their creature vs organ status works. When its time to switch from one to the other, rather than creating/destroying new instances, they'll be swapped between each others' inventories.
