N v1.5: THE INITIAL OFFICIAL THREAD

[im_bad_at_n]

My summer had an AWFUL start yesterday... but thats because I didn't see this :D

Thanks for the save.

[epigone]

N v1.5!!! It's the moment we've waited years and years for! Jizz in my pants!

[ska]

I came

to say well done.

[EdoI]

Oh, what a surprise! I haven't been around lately, I had no idea what was going on here.

[EddyMataGallos]

Yeah, i've also been years waiting for it, and it seems its going to be amazing! :)

[RandomDigits]

Yesterday I was driving myself mad trying to work out a drone path, It would be awesome to have some way for good new Ned to preview where all (or some) of the drones will be, after they've travelled X number of tile-spaces... That would be awesome because then I wouldn't have to /think/ so much!

If you modify physics (or remove glitches), include a "classic mode" option with separate highscoreboard.

Why didn't I think of that? What an amazing idea.

Good post.

They said that's what N+ has, and they might add it. :3

GAH I'M SO EXCITED

[Miststalker06]

A couple of things I want:

- MORE TILES!
- Easier way to NaN items
- The stuff the other guys wanted, such as drone pathing
- The classic N + new N sounds like an awesome idea
- Keep highscores
- Don't, don't, don't EVER fix glitches - they provide so many more possibilities
- You could use nReality additions to the game in the new game - foreground + background image, drones, so on...
- Upon completing the game, one should definately get a bandana (ninjastyle) to put around the ninjas head and that should work like with colours: you can toggle it on and off.
- Achievements sound like a cool thing to waste time with - thumbs up.
- And for the love of God, keep it as an application.....

Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to seeing the final result...!! :D <3

Miststalker is on the forums? Yes, use more creative tiles. Also add more objects/enemies

[yahoozy]

The number of tiles is absolutely perfect. That level of restriction really forces you to be creative, which is a big draw to me. The headband would be fantastic, though. I'd totally beat the game if I got the headband at the end (and I'm being completely candid right now).

QFE. N's simplicity is its biggest charm point and creative challenge. Preserving that minimalistic feel should be a top priority if you're going to be introducing/changing things in v1.5. Also, love the headband idea.

That's not true.
The more simple the game gets,
The more boring the game gets.

and if the game gets boring, no one will want to play it.

[Pheidippides]

That's not true.

The game is already extremely simple.
It is certainly not boring. If it were, you wouldn't be here.
Because N is not boring, a ton of people play it, which is why this community exists.

If M&R maintain N's simplicity, the game will remain as shamelessly addictive as it always has been. This, of course, will continue to draw new players (like the game always has) so that our community can continue to thrive.

Minimalism is only bad if you do it poorly, which is not what we've come to expect from M&R. That is why we hope they'll stay true to the minimalistic nature of the game - because they pull it off so well.

What about smart rockets that avoid tiles etc.?

[Seneschal]

How would you outmaneuver them?

[Kablizzy]

Under no circumstances should any more tiles be added.

[Donfuy]

I personally prefer to see the ninja without the headband, so if you do introduce it into n_v15, please do it as an option.

Yeah I am not a big fan of the headband, but I would like to see in v1.5 as an option for beating the game, or maybe 5 columns, whatever is appropriate.

*ahem*

[Kablizzy]

*ahem*

Oh, apologies. Under no circumstances should any more tiles be added with the exception of all those ones that we really, really need.
