Xect vs. Mynn

Discuss game development here, from a distinct game project to an accessible third-party mutator, down to the interaction and design of individual units if you like.

If he did that it wouldnt be xect vs mynn.

Nanoblobz is fun because of it's simplicity, the techtree isnt large.

Xect vs Mynn aside from being ugly seems to have inherited a tediousness from the OTA style mods.

I'd rather see an OTA style faction added to nanoblobz and have nanoblobz used....

What good is making drying paint prettier if it's still boring?
I'm confused, you seem to detest all TA-like games. Why did you start playing Spring in the first place? I mean, XvM is nice in that it allows for a free, open TA-like game. While you don't like TA-style of play, the numerous AA players would have to disagree with you.

Logically, it makes sense to have at least one mod that is TA-like but original content. After all, wouldn't it be nice to bundle Spring on-disk with 3 free mods? XvM for TA-play, Nanoblobs, and EE?

I have three things to say:

1. The go ahead has been given for Argh to Work on this.

2. Argh can and will do what he wants with his time. Be it Project 2 or working on Xect vs Mynn. LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!

3. unless Argh wants to keep it open, lock this plz as it is losing any real usefulness. instead it's an arguement about the value of Xect vs Mynn.

Did you not read arghs rant?

It would be nice, but XvM is a lost cause.

I don't think XvM is a lost cause so much as it was a lost opportunity. It could've been a really neat experience, however, it was designed very poorly.

I like TA style games. There's a tediousness in them but it's negated by the good stuff, but its just really apparent in xect vs mynn. With XTA I can send in pyros and ravens and sumos etc, they all have very unique looking weapons yet xect vs Mynn they look too similair. It's like a TA clone that didnt do very well, most units arent anything special and there arent any niche units other than oddities whcih just dont work. It's same old same old stuff.........


The joined tribe+TLL would be better with new textures and sounds......
