CIU version 141

@OrvilleTheOrca

If you want to add CI2 Mother-Hen Ship to Boss Rush or Chicken Invasion, you must at least change the name of the boss wave to avoid confusion with CI4 Mother-Hen Ship. The name of the boss wave in CI2U is very similar.

but sub-text (small text below the main text) already says “Crack that shell!”
and besides CI2 MHS & CI3 MHS has normal zoom meanwhile CI4 MHS has larger zoom

avoid confusion with CI4 Mother-Hen Ship

That one is fought along the Y axis, so that’s distinct enough. As for the CI3 one, its only one “phase” and its name is different enough to not get confused.

Also, the themes for all bosses are all audio cues that can help indicate which Mothership it is, if one isn’t using other boss BGMs.

but sub-text (small text below the main text) already says “Crack that shell!”

For the “easy difficulty” encounter, yes. I believe that the Boss name should just be “Mother Hen-Ship”. While subtexts can help, it wouldn’t make some sense for CIU encounters. Its why the Death Star doesn’t have “Now you’ll pay for everything!” as a subtext, since we can encounter it at any possible time.

I’m visualizing the Egg Cannon in this scenario, where you won’t know how hard it’ll be until you hit a specific checkpoint that changes up the encounter. For example, in a 100+% Egg Cannon encounter, we get the yellow line lasers at 20%, red beams at 40%, egg shot at 60%, etc…

something’s wrong the all time best comma text bug and scroll up or down they generate and disappeared in a rank 31. it’s a intended?

or multiplayer leaving partial doesn’t yellow colors.

Victory = green
Partial = yellow (was grey)
Surrender = orange
Defeat = red

@Starbrockle

should the Squawk Block bosses play CI2 Victory Theme instead of CIU Boss Theme 2?

@DePeeper

Should the Mother Hen Ship from CI2 be added in the CIU boss pool?

I’d like to suggest something in case either of these ideas above make it into the game.

Are you sure you want CI2’s Victory Theme in the random music pool?

• Yes
• No

@InterAction_studios

Added “CI2 Music 1” and “CI2 Victory Music” to potential mission music list (@Knightcap Idea)

[KnockoffFeline]

like I haven’t already read that

I literally explicitly asked for confirmation for this idea…

[InterAction_studios]

@OrvilleTheOrca

Sweater Chicken, Magnetic Manipulator, and Feather Brain can only twitch when damaging it. But the body and head textures do not twitch

Magnetic Manipulator and Feather Brain have rigid parts in their outfit (helmet, rocks, eggshell) that I thought looked weird when squashed. But I’ve now enabled squashing for players to make up their own mind.

“Sweater” chicken is indeed an oversight. Changed in v.142 Idea

@Knightcap

2 variant for “Partner Acrobatics” wave in CIU mission

It’s not sufficiently different to warrant another variant.

This looks like texture bleeding. Are you on Windows or Android? What screen resolution are you using?

[DePeeper]

I get why you asked for this, since we had the 3-5 Victory themes in the normal BGM pool and it felt very awkward to hear the 3 and 4 ones in use. I think those were removed out of the pool after initial feedback. I haven’t heard the 2U victory theme in full, but I feel it’d work out in the BGM pool, like how 5’s one is long enough to “work”.

@InterAction_studios

Are you on Windows or Android?

well i’m played in windows resolution current 1366 x 768 and 640x480 no effect from texture bleeding.

@InterAction_studios

Hmm, no different?
What about making each chicken lines appear 4 times? Example:

• First time: Left bottom corner/ Right bottom corner
• Second time: Right top corner/ Left top corner
• Third time: Left top corner/ Left bottom corner
• Fourth time: Right bottom corner/Right top corner

Appear only in >100% difficult. This mean that the current “Partner Acrobatics” will be appear in lower difficult. Or if you still not understand, just like how each variant of Henterprise appear, for better understandable.

[OrvilleTheOrca]

@Knightcap

First time: Left bottom corner/ Right bottom corner

It will be disadvantageous if there are too many Coward Chickens, Balloon Chicken, some Chickenauts and Slob Chickens.

[Knightcap]

I don’t want to negate this, but it’s already have a wave like that in CI3 story.

[OrvilleTheOrca]

Ask @Star_Light, because “Chicken/ Partner Acrobatics” wave was added by Star_Light’s idea in CIU v64.

@InterAction_studios

Added “Chicken Acrobatics” wave (mirrored + 2 variations) (@Star_Light Idea)

[Knightcap]

@OrvilleTheOrca

Ask @Star_Light,

The current “Chicken/Partner Acrobatics” wave have no any variants in CIU mission like wave 115 from CI3U (appear from 2 corner of a edge of screen).

[OrvilleTheOrca]

1. Trying to damage U.C.O. , Mysterious Ship is shown to play each random metallic sound slower. Robotic Space Crab, Iron Chef, CI2 Mother-Hen Ship (iron egg form), Henperor’s Apprentice all play each metal sound faster.

2. Talk about the yolk between Yolk-Star and CI4 Mother-Hen Ship when taking damage:

• The Yolk-Star™: Yolk sound playback and squashed animation are both slower.
• CI4 Mother-Hen Ship: Yolk sound playback and squashed animation are both faster.

[Amiko]

Speaking about The Yolk-Star™, can you let it start attacking when the boss itself shows up their laser first?
It’s like how it worked in CI3.

[Starbrockle]

@Starbrockle

So, should the Squawk Block bosses play CI2 Victory Theme instead of CIU Boss Theme 2?

Well, the poll in the post above confirms that 65% are for, the rest are against.

What’s your decision, IA?

[InterAction_studios]

@DePeeper

the Mother Hen Ship should be added in as a boss encounter in normal (and Boss Rush) boss pool.

Ugh, my carefully separated data files. Added to v.142 Idea

@2sN

well i’m played in windows resolution current 1366 x 768

I can’t replicate the bug in 1366x768

@Knightcap

What about making each chicken lines appear 4 times

This wave has already a nightmare with all its flips and mirrors. I’m not touching it.

@OrvilleTheOrca

Trying to damage U.C.O. , Mysterious Ship is shown to play each random metallic sound slower. Robotic Space Crab, Iron Chef, CI2 Mother-Hen Ship (iron egg form), Henperor’s Apprentice all play each metal sound faster.

They all sound the same to me. And the code is the same, too.

@OrvilleTheOrca

Talk about the yolk between Yolk-Star and CI4 Mother-Hen Ship when taking damage:

Allowed. They are not the same enemy.

@Amiko

The Yolk-Star™, can you let it start attacking when the boss itself shows up their laser first?

Changed in v.142 Idea

@Starbrockle

changing the Squawk Block bosses’ current boss theme (CIU Boss Theme 2) to CI2 Victory Theme

Changed in v.142 Idea

@InterAction_studios

Ugh, my carefully separated data files.

Sorry. But, your reply did crack me up.
