CIU version 158

Happens

I noticed that in CI2 outro has a chicken with in pain pose.

So I wondered if this can be reused for the bosses themselves.

Should CI2 Bosses have pain animation?

• Yeah, They should, they look weird without one.
• Nah, Classic is better.

Side thing about the outro itself, it would be great if it supports multiple backgrounds.

Idea: Make an option to enable/disable hardpoints in the galaxy hub.

---

Another Idea: Make each starfield have their own hyperspace transition, there are already episode versions of some backgrounds.

---

Also, this old suggestion didn’t get replied to…

@Pinanas

idea: When you purchase a DLC you’ll be able to play as its legacy spaceship.

In “The Weakest Link” wave, the berserker-chick might disappear if you let him chasing around.

Maintenance?

[InterAction_studios]

Yes

[Bandicoot]

Ok

[InterAction_studios]

Maintenance finished.

[Bandicoot]

Ok x2

[RBCube]

Wonder what was the maintenance for

[Bandicoot]

Just upgrade the server

[Pinanas]

Suggestion: Make background color lean to yellow depending on how bright the star color.

Also, I wondered if will be an official version of this competition at least on forum?

Seasonal Content Design Contest

Info I wanted to make a competition, well, what it’s about? All you do is submitting a design for a certain season along with a object/enemy from the game based on theme (see below). Phase 1 (Submitting) Now, I’m interested and want to send a design, how do I do that? Before that make sure the design fits with the latest theme (see below), submitting will be public by posting the design here in this topic! Before submitting, you should know that AI generated designs aren’t allowed. First sub…

[BLASTGAMMINGX]

Yes I like ur suggestion

[TheGoldenBoss128]

I know this was suggested before but please bring back the ability to use skills in competitive missions. If we get to play them as multiplayer then I don’t see why we should not also be able to customize skills too. I miss these days where I could play Weekly Challenge with SSH. Just add a warning in a clear position where players can see to warn them that they will be disqualified if they changed the skill like in the example below. Obviously this should not be applied to competitive missions that can be played only once.

Do you agree on this idea:

• Yes
• No

Can iA teams bring this boss for CI4 easter DLC only? I just hope for next update.

#bringbackprev50weekly

I never played it before but I want the feeling of SSH weekly again..

[Pinanas]

Idea: Make other players speech bubbles change color depending on their used color theme.

Also I wonder if there will be some work to these after the Xbox port:

@InterAction_studios

Beyond that, there are three main potential directions:

• New “police chase” mission type
• New procedural “planetary” mission type
• Mission editor (I don’t think formation editing will be possible, so perhaps “mission mixer” would be more accurate)
• Bonus: There’s also a half-baked idea about multiplayer games where the host doesn’t directly fly the mission, but instead chooses which enemies to spawn and when (the mission difficulty would determine the number and breeds of enemies at their disposal).

And about the police idea, I already have some questions:

• How will the police be encountered? Are they NPCs?
• How will the mission would look like? A chicken invasion mission but with police or an entirely different thing?
• What will the police do to defeat a player? Will they use the same weapons players use?

And for the police idea, if the normal ships will be reused, I suggest to reapply the paintjob randomization for them but the only stuff will be changed for the randomization are:

• Cockpit + Plain will use black.
• Paintjobs themselves use white.

What if the mission is in a star (where the background is red) and the player’s theme is also red?

[Pinanas]

The text is automatically colored depending on color themes. they’ll still be seen no matter which color the theme is.

The text currently uses its own color: White → Black depending on color theme settings.

[Pinanas]

Idea: Make Balloon Chicken have randomized balloon colors instead of the same color for every single one of them:

Also about the implementation of it, it’s easier that what’s in the game.
In the game, it uses pre-set ballon sprites with every state before getting destroyed.

While my version only includes 2 layers per balloon:

• One for main balloon color
• One for Rope + Shineness combined.

And for multiple balloons, just make amount of them without any other assets and one of them pop randomly whenever a balloon is supposed to be popped.

Also, I wondered if there was planned to make fuel sellable, or just keep it the only way to get rid of it is just burning it?

---

Noticed that the last cloth doesn’t stretch with Sweater chicken’s animation, intended?

(Ignore the edited head, it was a mod)

[VerMishelb]

Your version turns a scene with 5 balloon chickens from (3 + 1) * 5 = 20 rendering objects (chicken base, chicken shirt, chicken head, balloons) to (3 + 2*7) * 5 = 85 rendering objects + 1 colour modulation in the process, plus a bit of special code for handling the colours. I am not sure if this change would makes it easier for anyone or anything.

The numbers may be off a bit, I haven’t looked into the actual textures to confirm that the chicken itself uses exactly 3 sprites.
