Cube 2 Idea Mine - Discuss

After seeing idea after idea get shot down all over the place in these forums, it occurred to me that perhaps this thread might be a good idea.

Got an idea for a Cube 2 mod? Go ahead and get it out of your system and post it here. If you are a modder, scroll through these. Maybe one of them can give you some inspiration.

Note to developers and long-time forum users: this is not intended to be a place where future updates or changes to the game you know and love to be posted. This is merely a place where half-formed (but possibly good) ideas can be discussed at present value without having them immediately shot down.

On that note, the only rule: No attacking of ideas just because they are not implementable within the current engine.

Have fun!

I don't think we should be changing any core gameplay ideas right now. The reason I love sauer is because of its brutal oldskool style balance (based on QuakeWorld, which is even more difficult), 4x quad damage, and big armor pickups (again just like QW)
Everyone is making arena fps games nowadays, saying that we need to bring back the 'real skill' in fps games, but they are just copying Quake 3, and actually destroying the fps culture by making their games easier and easier. Compare QuakeWorld to a 'modern' arena fps game like Toxikk or Xonotic. Quake did it right 20 years ago in designing a pure arena fps. Every once in a while, a new, innovative idea was developed, but they never were absorbed by the general public. If I tell someone now that Half Life 2 Deathmatch is faster and harder than Sauerbraten, they laugh cause they have no idea what mean.
Let's keep Sauer hard and awesome :) Bringing it down to the level of an average gamer will only make things worse.

Instagib is truly hard to master...


Quake 1 was great, but the weapons weren't that balanced at all. So don't blame the game industry to rather get inspired by Quake 3 instead.

@Instagib LOL, I am talking about pickup modes (I mentioned the quad and armors :) )
I would say though, that pro instagib fragmovies are quite awesome (especially the oldskool gameplay)

Quake 1 weapons are even more inbalanced, you are correct, which is why I play Sauer instead :D
What I mean from games ripping off Quake 3 is mostly about the physics and weapon set. Always one sniper weapon, always one grenade type weapon, always one rocket launcher, always a shotgun (which is usually too weak :)

@ People complaining and suggesting changes to armours and weapons, do any of you even play this game? I've never seen most of you. Sure, there are things that need improvement, but I'm wondering why YOUR suggestions should be made.

With love,
swatty.

Hi Swat,
Yep I still play Sauer (I'm 'eS|eXist) though less and less recently. I see your point, which is why I've stopped making suggestions for Sauer entirely. I'm moved on to my own project now and just play Sauer for break until my game is released.
I appreciate your comment and hope people take note of it.

LOL no its me Hypernova, I didn't ever play in 'eS with my name Hypernova, but I didn't notice that until now, hahah. Nope not sexist, 'eS probably has the most female players of any Sauerbraten clan. We even had an internal clan server just for girls :D Nice observation tho :P

#238: Nintendo Switch

by Davy_Crocket on 03/22/2018 02:32

I want to put this game on the Nintendo switch. I've talked to a few people about it. Talk with me about this.

Perhaps Nintendo couldn't charge for it, just like $5 for the disk of something. Perhaps give it away as a free game with the console.

This is the best FSP ever made, it would look awesome on the Switch, and I would love to see thousands of players on it.

Talk about it, and let's do it.

Davy
