They may notice... but is it too late for them to react?

I saw The Magnificent Seven this weekend, and it would be awesome if Lugaru 2 would have some defender levels where you have to hold a house / village / fortress from large numbers of invading rabbits and wolves. You could have AI or player allies and enemies.

I suggested that in MP thread.
Great minds think alike

Actually, that's a completely different thing you suggested, Nova…

Well, similar, but not quite as similar as the… Other… Similarity?

I got an idea- stunning and throwing! Smacking your enemy on the head, causing them to disorient for 5 seconds, and during that period you can pick them up and hurl them by turning to aim and then clicking the LMB to throw. If they hit another enemy, then both are stunned for 5 MORE seconds

Moments of funny combat like this (think more the kicking and Dismemberments), with impalements like this:

...

well... Enough about Kung Fu-fu, and onto a more serious topic...
I remember David (it may have been Jeff, but Im sure it was David because David is god) saying that there will be a program that will allow Ingame movies.

I had this random thought to recreate the original Lugaru as a kick ass movie with the Phoenix engine.

what about playbacks, you can click save replay' or just replay, that way if you found a glitch in a game you can play it over and over again and make a movie or .gif of it and that send it to David. or maybe you just did this awesome move that you never think you can do again and you want to show everyone you could just use that program the Colicdus just started talking about

Uh, the Phoenix Engine is the engine that powers Lugaru 2. ;P
Anyway, David and Jeff discussed a very cool in-game recorder in a thread a while ago.
So you'll be able to save replays and such.

I hope like hell you can save it to your HD and not just youtube

i think there should be a stronger console/editor in Lugaru 2, maybe just make an editor where you are viewing from up in the sky and you open a menu with names like Brown rabbit, white rabbit and then you would place one, and then there would be a weapon menu where you could select a weapon and then click on the rabbit you want to give to it, and then the same with Dialogues, Clothes, Terrain, Sky, etc...

is this a stupid idea?

BunnyWithStick · Post by **BunnyWithStick** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 12:06 am

No, it isn't a stupid idea at all. Mainly because David has already confirmed that there'll be some kind of reasonably advanced editor for L2.

At least I think he did…

Yes. Levels will be scriptable.

Thanks Guys, the Lugaru forum is about the only place i don't get pushed and shoved.
