0.9.14 developers preview
Thu, 2010-08-26 00:04 — Uriah
So,
The other night we decided to try something new, we wanted to update you on our progress with a video, including some commentary from a group of devs.
So, myself, Armagon and Firefox took to a multiplayer game and attempted to show some of it off.
In advance, I apologise for the quality of my mic, this was a last minute video. But hopefully you'll enjoy seeing what we've been up too

awesome! can't wait for the update
wouldn't a grenade do the same as the hammer on girders?
and in regards to the flames, I really like the mini flames trailing behind the big ones, but the actual design doesn't seem too hedgewarsy... i would definitely prefer the original flames.

Looks good, though I still don't particularly care for the terrain depth.

Tim da Man: It really depends on where you put the grenade. The Hammer's big advantage is its missing explosion. You can use it to free yourself if you're trapped behind another hog without being hit yourself. Think we've had such a situation some time during the test play, but not sure if it's in the video.

Also, we really do need to prevent throwing grenades into hedgehogs
If we do that, bridge drownings will get a bit trickier. Dropping it on top is not as effective.
Oh, and hammer drills down a bit more.
Tim da Man
hope that doesn't get banned, its all part of the strategy... why not just limit the grenades or something instead?
Star and Moon
Cool! I like the sticky mine a lot. It could be very useful.
Thomas
Great update guys, when will it come out?
the only thing missing is invisibility till you fall or youre hit.or maybe for a number of rounds...
And when will you call it 1.0, 0.14 sounds so unfinished, maybe more people would download if its a 1.0 version.
Tim da Man
can't imagine people not downloading it
Cairo
Awesome Movies, though I preferred sprite three from Here.

I think tiyuri said that they were going to impliment a campeign mode first, then it's gojng to be 1.0. I saw on cia the other day that someone implimented a campeign menu fpr testing (not sure if there is actualy a campeign mode yet though. I don't think there is.

Still think the new flame should only be used for the flamethrower.
Simon Brown
Noice noice... New flames, eh, new weapons, YES.
maqui
Nice work ^_^. I have some weapons suggestions for you.

Well I still like the old fire more just because it actually looks like fire, but I'd love to see these little stars flying out of the hogs every time they end up hitting each other by accident, when the hog flies against a wall, gets hit with the baseball bat, whip, rope (which still needs to be fixed), kamikaze or when a weapon like a grenade (that doesn't explode on impact with the hog) is thrown against one.
The hammer also needs 1 to 2 turns of delay before it can be used.
Regarding the change to "1.0" referred by some user; think it's still kind of early for that, might need a .15 and .16 so the basic missions can be completed, the menus improved visually\reorganized\optimized and fix a few minor bugs in some weapons at least.
Thomas
...and what do you think of invisibility? Shouldnt be too hard to implement...
TheCycoONE
@Thomas: How would invisibility work on a shared computer?

Looks pretty good so far. A small suggestion for flame effects is that if you're in fire enough, there's a chance your hedgehog can get set on fire, which would deal burn damage for a few turns. Otherwise, pretty awesome.

Im loving the weapons and im loving the use of my ninja headband hat
mondesser
I love the sine gun
It gives hedges that are stuck in holes or somewhere else something to do while they wait for the airstrikes to be avaialble

Friends could tell me brother-in-law the upgrade it will leave, it is that I want to play it for that see that this good one the upgrade.
Ahh and now that I remember like I make to request them to make my characters?
RandomName
I just want to go on record saying that I don't like the new flames.
When I first saw them I'm like, "That's flame? Pfft."
It looks too... Powerpuff-Girls-ey.
Flames should look like flames, not stars.
Otherwise, I'M REALLY EXCITED WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT?!
nemo
RandomName, you're kinda late - they were updated a couple of weeks ago.
And the new ones might not be the final ones yet.
