Let’s say the player gets killed by an egg, it would be nice to have different death effects other than the normal explosion, here are some ideas of death effects I have in mind:
Below the player’s ship is placed a small black hole that sucks them in
The player’s ship turns low quality and explodes into small bits
The player’s ship turns into dust (like the marvel endgame movie)
The player’s ship loses power and drops off screen
The player’s ship gets squashed by a burger
The player’s ship gets covered in egg yolk (Eggs small enough in size to not throw off the other players into thinking its an actual egg)
The player’s ship gets covered in toilet paper (like the prank where you throw toilet paper over a house)
However one thing I’ve considered is that the animations have to be short enough to not interfere with gameplay or delay deaths in any way shape or form. One thing I’ve came up with is whenever the player equips the usable “speedy recovery” the death animations are disabled, really sped up or they just stay there until the animation is finished (which can cause a lot of problems like eggs going underneath and causing the player to die yet again)
Another thing I’ve thought about is a button in the settings that disables death effects in multiplayer missions so they don’t get in the way of other players
“How about something loony toons like when the egg hits the ship it splat, and a sign appear with “boom?” and then it explodes. It has enough time for the new ship to arrive to minus if you have speedy recovery with you”
And I would like to add something to that if that is alright with you (please say if you want me to remove anything you feel like shouldn’t be here)
What I understood from this is instead of changing the animation, we can change the effect instead and add special SFX to them, like for example:
a comic effect that changes the explosion into a “Boom” text and possibly change the SFX to match it
I thought of a thought like this, but I felt that the thought would fail, but I would like to suggest something like this, and it is that all enemies will cast some fire rockets in celebration of their victory
I think those are many different actions that a… Simple egg, can do. The idea is cool but, it would be too weird for a singular egg to summon a wormhole after hitting the player.
Welcome, but yeah i’d LOVE to see more death animation things but only if they were triggered by X thing that happens, like the one that caught my attention is the one that makes the ship turns into dust, it should be triggered if the player gets hit by like the beams the droids shoot or the retro invaders’ projectiles.
Yes, we were bored of this explosion, and also this idea made me remember his old game, and she is bomber man and i don’tknow his name very well, but more effects of death in her are well for his purpose, but the problem will be in his own fees, and welcome, my friend @Synomet
Let’s make it more realistic. Every death effect will have a different situation
Melted when you touch phonex beerd
Freeze when you touch chillier beerd
Below the player’s ship is placed a small black hole that sucks them when you get hit in retro level
How about something loony toons like when the egg hits the ship it splat, and a sign appear with “boom?” and then it explodes. It has enough time for the new ship to arrive to minus if you have speedy recovery with you
I like that idea. But tbh i didnt include that idea because I at least want a sense of realism with the loony toons one, but it is fine if Boom text was its own thing
Id like to apologize for not being able to reply since im limited to replies but thanks for all the ideas and being positive i really appreciate that <3
Im always reading the comments even if i dont reply. Please keep up the positivity
