Episode 2 BETA

[CuretheToony]

and lock-on technology is finally real!!!

miracles really happen!!!

[ordinary_ryxt]

lock on technology the one and only sonic 3 and knuckles

[Taubsi]

So the lack of a chicken that you can poke on the main menu screen is pretty disappointing to say the least, and that sentiment is shared by a good amount of people as well, so how about having a chicken peeking over the ‘‘More chickens’’ button, that you can poke? once poked, the chicken would just fall off screaming.

It would add a bit more charm to the game, or if not a normal chicken floating around would be okay too.

Tiny Mockup:

[ans1382]

I feel like we should have a preview for the Backgrounds section like CIU

In the language section, Persian is written in reverse. (Even in CIU, which includes Arabic.)
The letters of the word are also written separately and not connected (فارسی–>ی‌س‌ر‌ا‌ف)

When i update my game to v2 or v3, i always reach into the tutorial mission first, with reseted setting. Is this mean that the game data is always reseted when updating the game? Sometime i feel that this is a bit annoying, with everything including result, setting,… be reseted.

@InterAction_studios

Episodes: “Weapons rush” and “Satellites rush” now appear in all episodes (locked or purchasable, as appropriate) (@Knightcap Idea)

I’m sorry but… this idea is belong to @KnockoffFeline , not me. Here:

@KnockoffFeline

Weapon rush from CI4 & 5 would be nice to have.

Go and take the Moron before iA remove once again it, friends

Yeah, I never understood this as well. It’s very strange.

programdata file between two version are separated, so it will reset everything

Did you really turn on “Weapon Rush”?

[Knightcap]

Of course is yes.
We only take Moron by that way.

[Arnav]

weird that bronze coins from chickens gives 1k points

meanwhile bronze coins from asteroids gives only 100 points

[OrvilleTheOrca]

What if this is a weapon gift box that can reappear in the middle of the Episodes mission and be used again? If “Weapon Rush” is not enabled, the Moron Railgun will never appear even if “Weapons from the future” is enabled.

[Knightcap]

@Arnav

It’s the original CI2 coin.

@OrvilleTheOrca

Not sure but don’t let Moron be still in Ep. Not a skill issue but, it’s really impossible to beat the whole series with only Moron, especially is Superstar Hero skill.

[PlasmaX]

the coins dropped by chickens are copper coins, they’re not the same as bronze coins

[Knightcap]

Until Ep2 version 3, here is my result when completed Ep2 with SSH (die 4 times)

There is also a bug about the ending scene and mission outcome, which is reported by @Sammarald above. I still want to see the mission outcome like the CI5 one, and also the process of mission like collected medal, score, mission progress,… for each stage, like CI5

[ScarletCuboids]

14. We don’t need this, do we? (Edit: We do, but rename it to “Shield Color”).
    

15. Tutorial is still using CI5/CIU text fade animation.
    

    

16. Tutorial: swap H&C with Muller.

Episodes: Fixed “Mission Outcome” and “High score” screens appearing before ending cutscene

and when game over (defeat) too.

18. Starting chapter: cutscenes won’t play for any but chapter 1.

[PlasmaX]

how haven’t i thought of that :cipain:

[InterAction_studios]

@Sammarald

I got this tip after the tutorial mission, what happened here?

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@Sammarald

I don’t think this description applies to this game

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@Sammarald

Also this part about the Henpire and UHF

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@Sammarald

You can’t cycle special weapons in these games

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@Sammarald

this bug was missed, it still happens

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@Sammarald

the mission progress screen appears abruptly after defeating the final boss, with the ending cutscene only after this, and mouse capture is still active here

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@Sammarald

medals are by far the main source of key income

That’s undesirable. The main source should be in-mission collected keys. We’ll nerf them.

@OfficalK12

i post it earlier than him so could i have a medal then?

Ah, yes. Shared. I thought you two were the same person. Plus, I don’t even see the fix listed in Known bugs & new features

@minasam123

the food and coin collecting and bonus sounds (extra life and special weapon, firepower, weapon gifts) are still from CI3, and the egg splat sound is still from CI4

Allowed. Only chicken sounds have been replaced.

@Rika_Aoyama

Small detail: Space or LMB.

This message changes depending on the input device you used last. If you use the keyboard to fire, that might have confused it.

@OfficalK12

look like this line had been added to the tip i guess?

@RainbowBoyVN

there’re no tips after cleared any stages

Tips are broken in v.3. Already fixed.

@ordinary_ryxt

you do actually

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@OrvilleTheOrca

In CIep2 first intro cutscene (in the part where many flocks of chickens appear after the Hero retreats), I have turned on “Original Music” but it doesn’t use CI2 Original Victory Music (Major-Win) yet.

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@OrvilleTheOrca

There was a white gift box that appeared with the characters “- -”, then realized it was Moron Railgun

Fixed in v.4 Bug

@OrvilleTheOrca

In CIep2 cutscene, after the “Hero arrives on Earth” scene, it used the CI2R cutscene theme

Already fixed.

@Knightcap

why did you remove that medal

Because there’s no such thing as preloading your spacecraft with equipment in the episodes.

@Knightcap

using CIU account to link in Episodes game only for applying a purchased exclusive Episode into CIU

Yes.

@anon46675045

classic CI2 menu chicken could be brought back

Sigh… you make one little mistake back in 2002 and it haunts you forever. Added in v.4 Idea

(to be continued)

[PlasmaX]

@InterAction_studios

you make one little mistake

my day has now been ruined after finding out the funny chicken was just a mistake

[Sammarald]

@InterAction_studios

That’s undesirable. The main source should be in-mission collected keys. We’ll nerf them.

hmm, how about this then

wave medals:
multikill: 1 key every 20 medals
accuracy: 1 every 40
food collection: 1 every 40

stage medals:
coin collection: 1 every 5
kill ratio: only 1 key for 10 or more medals
no deaths: 1 every 5
no specials: 1 every 5
no satellites: 1 for 8
no powerups: 1 every 4

mission medals:
food collection: 1
no deaths: 3
no specials: 2
no satellites: 1
iceman: 3

trophies: 1-6

though i think the mission medals may need to scale with skill (+1-3 keys) to reward getting them on harder difficulties more

i still think that the key drop rate increase isn’t enough, they may drop on ssh more often but also there are longer periods of time where they dont drop (such as during bosses), unless if you were to specifically farm for them. should probably do something about boss waves

[PlasmaX]

add a secret hen solo ship that you can play with after beating the game on superstar hero, no customization, and he’ll be almost identical to a muller

also add a random cuisine option, meaning you can have all cuisines at once, but you have to unlock them all, this may be a good feature in ciu
