I never understood how Bloogs were such competent builders or designers to begin with. They seem so dumb. :/
Eh, for all I know it was just confirmation bias. You're the one who can flip thru the code and reveal the truth. ;) Is there a subroutine for the Fleex involving Keen holding still?Levellass wrote:Oh I read that in the story, I just didn't know it affected their behavior at all! I don't expect that kind of subtlety from a game of that era. It took me long enough to figure out the Robo Red.
Could say the same about humans. I guess some are just better builders/engineers than others.Paramultart wrote:I never understood how Bloogs were such competent builders or designers to begin with. They seem so dumb. :/
Fleexes design all of the stuff, then Bloogs build it and ruin it. Take the slanted doors for example.Paramultart wrote:I never understood how Bloogs were such competent builders or designers to begin with. They seem so dumb. :/
The buildings were commissioned and constructed by the Bloog government with shoddy materials and cheap labor. That's ok however because they're only meant to house green Bloogs (The stupidest and most animalistic of the Bloog races.) who are just a bunch of parasites living off of the state. There had been recent calls for desegregation which would see higher quality accommodation for all, but after Keen blasted the budding green rights movement back to the stone age that looks unlikely.Paramultart wrote:I never understood how Bloogs were such competent builders or designers to begin with.

I never even thought to look. I do know however that the Nospike were designed to knock each other cold if they charged into each other.XkyRauh wrote:Eh, for all I know it was just confirmation bias.

There was never an opportunity for that to occur in the game, was there?Levellass wrote:I do know however that the Nospike were designed to knock each other cold if they charged into each other.
Okay, this is based on little more than an at least ten year old memory, but I do in fact remember seeing two Nospikes colliding and stunning each other, watching my brother own Keen in the heyday, but I completely forgot the level.XkyRauh wrote:There was never an opportunity for that to occur in the game, was there?Levellass wrote:I do know however that the Nospike were designed to knock each other cold if they charged into each other.
From tweaking levels I can confirm this happens, but for some reason it's not just when they charge into each other, it seems slightly random.chrissifniotis wrote:Okay, this is based on little more than an at least ten year old memory, but I do in fact remember seeing two Nospikes colliding and stunning each other, watching my brother own Keen in the heyday, but I completely forgot the level.XkyRauh wrote:There was never an opportunity for that to occur in the game, was there?Levellass wrote:I do know however that the Nospike were designed to knock each other cold if they charged into each other.
Highlands, Lowlands, Shadowlands...wiivn wrote:That's a big misconception, however I'm pretty sure Shadowlands is just a small part of the planet Gnosticus IV. But I'm not sure as to why Tom decided to call it Shadowlands though.
