Rifles and Trenches – ideas for a new game

Rifles and Trenches – development log - ideas for a new game

First programable day in 2024 year. I select a certain QB64. Modern version of QBasic. And I go back to a project with title Rifles and Trenches. So, I start a project in late 2023. And as a base I take a program code from videogame Crests and Shooting. But I start to modify everything in code. Game will be similar. But different. New rules will be added.

And now I am doing a new interface. I working about details.

At first, it will be more soldiers. Whole 8. Instead of 5. They are drawing better. But still schematic.

At second, every soldier has a med pack. To restore health.

New method of movement. Two nearby soldiers can exchange their positions.

You can go above the screen and to appear at the other side of the screen.

And I plan more new things in compare with game Crest and Shooting.

Game itself, Rifles and Trenches will be simple schematic military style. And 8 soldiers at the screen. They are shooting with rifles. Rifle need to reload. You can to use med kit to restore health. And in main, it is similar with first game – Crests and Shooting, but with new elements in gameplay.

First idea about a game, was first world war. When rifles are with one ammo. But all is very schematic. And that’s why you can imagine in your imagining whatever you want. Game with stylization about 80s computers. Retro.

So, I can say that it was a beginning everything from QBasic for me, as a programming. At the very simple layer. Input number. Clear screen. So, it is also a positive memory for me.

And now, I still not complete the all ideas for a game, even as elements of gameplay. But main idea is to make a game, from one hand similar to Crests and Shooting. And from other hand to enter new rules, to update as lots elements as possible. And keep it still simple game. To add new things, new visual look, new game features to add. So, it is idea!

So, in my head I have lots of ideas. But I do not think that I will move all of them into program code. Because of I am not so good in programming. Here it is limits – programming skills. It is main thing to complete new gameplay. And to decorate everything.

So as a compare picture you can see. How looks base game. And what is it becoming a new game. Anyway, Crests and Shooting – it will be a standalone game. If I will be a good programmer, I will to make a second part. And now it is like it is. But I start new idea, but similar one. By this, I want to say that Crests and Shooting - it is standalone solid line. And Rifles and Trenches – it is already a second line.  So, they are different little games, but similar in idea. And saying perfect, both games deserves to be continued with part 2 of each games. But everything is about how good you are with programming skills, this is a limit point here.

Today, game is in development.

Basic Pascal pack - whole pack of games and programes, written with basic and pascal. It is retro. With each game and program there is a page at author`s website. There are aditional information, descriptions, pictures, arts.

im gonna level w you, fellow medic mains. you are a lot worse at the game than you think

Presumably Rocket has never used a medpak before Vol 3 which could be seen as a plothole but I think the better answer is that he never needed to, he's never been that close to death before, that's how badass he is

look I’ve put a LOT of thought into medpacks with no clear outcomes lol. thanks for sending this ask so i can finally sit down and process through all my too-many ideas about them lol (seriously! this was a great ask and a lot of fun to think about thaaank you)

short answer: i agree. my guy is a fuckin genius at evasion and survival. but... i also don’t know what our rate of comparison for medpack-usage is? i’m fairly certain we don’t see many (any?) medpacks before vol 3. for all we know, they get used pretty rarely in general. maybe almost none of the guardians have had to use one before, because they’re all survivors - the luckiest of the unlucky, or vice versa.

i say this because i suspect medpacks are intended to heal major, life-threatening, emergency trauma - not cuts and contusions, not things that aren't emergencies - and we actually haven’t seen the guardians in those situations tbh. until v3, they’ve come out of every fight with scrapes, or (relatively) minor injuries that can heal in time. plus, access to medpacks (especially while actively cavorting around the galaxy) may be limited, and if you have three medpacks on a ship with a five-person crew and won't be able to restock for at least another six missions, nobody wants to be the asshole who uses a medpack for bruised ribs when, two cycles later, you end up with three teammates who are bleeding out.

(as an aside: i think the only reason mantis uses the medpack in v3 on herself is because in this particular scenario, a busted-up noodle-arm is an emergency. they are in the middle of an unexpected attack on their home turf and they don’t know why, rocket’s almost dead, and mantis needs to be able to perform at her best to protect herself, her friends, and the people of knowhere. i suspect a painful case of the noodle-arm gets in the way of peak performance.)

this all leads me to add that i think crewmates want to avoid using medpacks for more delicate injuries even if they are readily-accessible. like, if drax cuts his hand off while trying to juggle his daggers, the medpack would heal his stump - but doc glirgoth on the next planet over might be able to reattach it with 98% return on strength and sensation within two cycles, as long as the guardians can get drax to him in the next rotation or so.

now. i also think rocket has probably sustained some emergency life-threatening injuries before, especially when he was newly-escaped from halfworld. however, i think he learned how to do almost all his own first aid thanks to his years alone and his brilliant mind, even if a lot of his efforts are clumsier than a trained healer might be able to provide. like, you know at some point, this guy got sliced up or shot at pretty bad, and he probably could have used a medpack but didn’t have access to one. rocket for sure has ended up passing out while stitching himself up, at least once. even when he does have access to healers, he's not gonna use 'em - not only because he refuses to set foot in medical centers (ttttrauma), but also because he has so many unique things going on in his body that he’s had to figure most of it out on his own. like. there isn’t a single medical holotext in the galaxy that can comprehensively cover his physiology. a healer would need at least a grasp of basic mammal biology and medicine (even this can be hyper-complicated) and probably a few different types of engineering as well. so no to the healers and med-centers: not only does rocket not trust strangers with his body, but they also couldn’t possibly be expected to know what they were doing.

finally, i also think it’s possible that he has used a medpack before in emergency situations for non-vital, non-synthetic, non-trademarked organs. i kind of think a medpack on his crushed, biologically-given femur wouldn’t trigger his killswitch the same way a medpack on his heart, lungs, or brain would. i haven’t studied up on medpacks enough to REALLY know how they interact with rocket (if there's anything definitive out there), but i doubt all organs and structures are linked to the killswitch and if they haven't been tampered with too badly, the medpack may still work on them.

i mean, fundamentally, you’re right. it’s unlikely rocket has used a medpack before because he is that good, but they’re also complicated tech we don’t fully understand and i think that allows them to be less of a “plot hole” than others might think. or at least, they are plot holes so artistically constructed that i can justify them lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ♡♡♡

So, last year before I knew I had my little adrenal insufficiency condition, I had an absolutely brutal heat stroke at a ren fair, then had to peel myself off the bench I fainted on after some cold water to keep looking for my car...

Today I spent an entire day at Comicpalooza in Houston, during 95 degree weather (outside, at least) and not only did I wear my Our Lady of the Passion cosplay again, this time with a gutted jacket, but also a full torso binder, but I didn't even get close to fainting?

Like, seriously, I was pre-gaming pretty hard with some electrolyte mix, and kept an INSULATED (very important detail) bottle of some double strength Pedialyte Sport, but I didn't have to dip into my emergency pickle salt, or use any of the three instant cold packs I had shoved into the various pockets.

I still haven't bumped into anyone who for sure recognizes the costume (I have prizes for when they do!), but hot damn the difference between not knowing what's going on with my body, to having a diagnosis and 5 months of learning to management is like night and day.

Anyways, now there's nothing stopping me from cosplaying Pash until I fucking age into dust. ^-^

Running Issie on her DPS spec & Lana on her Tank spec and healing between fights be like-

Issie: [does one handed handstand to rest between fights]

Lana: [steps behind her] I should probably check to make sure we're safe.

Issie (useless lesbian): [still upside down] What's up babe?

Lana: Just making sure you don't have any serious injuries darling.

Issie: Thanks love ❤️

I've got almost 50 hours in Starfield, and I still find myself checking bathrooms in game for bobby pins. The Fallout 4 muscle memory is strong.

[darthbecky726]

did anyone else get just so super squeamish during guardians 3?? the meat space station, the frequent gory scenes... I was warned for the animal cruelty but not the sheer grossness featured in this movie. I had to cover my eyes several times, including looking at peters face at the end....

[vespertine-legacy]

Things I’m learning to do really well on Firebrand and Stormcaller:

Kiting the lightning spikes while everyone else is on the tanks. I am golden at positioning the spikes so that if we’ve got a Juggernaut dps, they can reflect that shit

Cleansing the missile off of myself in a timely manner and a good spot (the only time I died to the missile tonight, I’m honestly not sure if that’s what killed me, because both tanks were dead and I took Double Destruction to the face and a missile strike, so)

Helping the dps find the Trandoshan with the bomb (debuff hunting!) and helping kill Trandoshans while also panic-healing the tank that’s not under a shield as he flies by

Things I will apparently never learn to do on Firebrand and Stormcaller:

Not goddamn res anybody while I’m kiting lightning spikes, only to have them immediately get obliterated by the lightning spike I just res’d them into (and since I’m almost always muted, me screaming “NO DONT TAKE IT DONT TAKE IT DONT TAKE IT WAAAAAAAAAAAAIT” is useless)

[smungus]

I claim saint

Theres a graveyard of really cool characters from dead multiplayer games and I think with enough finesse we can just take em as our own like whose gonna know? The one person playing destruction allstars isnt gonna throw a fit if I start claiming Lupita as my own. I'm saving her from obscurity. Shes mine now

everyone should do this, just take a battleborn character. take a guy from rogue company. Who gives damn any more

Headcanon:

Jimmy would be a Scout main, but also play Trol.lger when on maps like Hig.htower.

I'm blown away, they actually made David's character MORE fucking unlikeable and creepy in the series then the game. Wow

[ ouch!! | accepting. ]

@skullkxd: 🚑

"Alola, kid! Training hard like usual?" Dendra greets brightly, her eyes lighting up as she spots Ree's figure perched in the sunlit sand again. However, something is different today--the visiting Paldean instructor is walking with a noticeable limp, one of her bare feet alarmingly swollen and colored an angry shade of red.

It's a classic Mareanie spine sting (a common affliction on many Alolan beaches), and despite Dendra's confident grin, the occasional wince and tiny tear welling in the corner of her eye both betray the fact that this hurts a lot.

"Let's both do our best toda-" she manages before the searing pain radiating from the sting causes her to take a sudden knee in the sand, her eyes squeezed tightly shut. "Unh...ow. Ow..."

[mrwolfhare]

Mind you, I would tense as well if I woke up and someone just patted their hand on my chest. Just love the amount of detail they put into Rocket. Even the scars on his chest that healed thanks to the medpack.

His skin tenses when Peter first touches him here. Do you guys think thats a learned response from his past? He does a similar thing when Drax pets his head in vol 1...
