Mines in KeyBeat

Re: Mines in KeyBeat

Mines should be a good addition, especially since I know you guys will be stringent with file judging, so any mine abuse will be caught and changed.

Re: Mines in KeyBeat

P.S. I was the one to make the name for this game. (minus the "s")

actually like 20 people came up with that name simultaneously by themselves

so in reality nobody named this project rofl

Re: Mines in KeyBeat

Mines are pretty meh but if you're sure that they're going to be used effectively then I guess it's ok.

Re: Mines in KeyBeat

If you're implementing mines then take out the boo system since they already act as "invisible mines."

One reason why I'm against mines...but of course what Stargroup says goes.

Re: Mines in KeyBeat

I prefer the boo system to mines. Extra hits should always be punished.
I also dont like the "boom" sound from stepmania. If I hit a mine, it screws me up for the next pile of notes. I know I could probably change that, but whatever.
If you're afraid of mashing, dont worry. I tried and the 6 keys make mashing nearly impossible (more boos compared to notes hit). All in all, mines make stepfiles less fun imo.

So, my vote is a definite NO to mines, not the "not really" I was allowed to pick.

Re: Mines in KeyBeat

I don't understand how mines would make a difference.

I mean, 1) boos take the place of mines in all cases, 2) if I hold a key down for too long, my keyboard starts to repeat the key (automatic mine), 3) mines were designed to force dancers to move their feet; how hard is it to move your fingers? And how long do you leave your finger on the key, anyway?

I suppose mines could be used for distraction, which can be a valid addition, but I'm simply not seeing anything else.

yes I do realize that there will be a lot of similarities, but this will be changed up as much as possible

I also dont like the "boom" sound from stepmania. If I hit a mine, it screws me up for the next pile of notes. I know I could probably change that, but whatever.

in response to both these quotes, while the concept of mines will be implemented, we're not actually gonna make boom sounds. as a result, it probably won't throw you off much or even at all

I prefer the boo system to mines. Extra hits should always be punished.
...All in all, mines make stepfiles less fun imo.

the reason why I wanted to implement mines was because I wanted to give everyone the freedom of those extra hits, but limit it to certain areas/times, as well as giving notecharters a lot more creative options

Re: Mines in KeyBeat

No no no no.

I never liked the usage of mines. They can be a serious problem/distraction, especially if EVERY level has them. Other rhythm games also never had them, even DDR, but in this case, Beatmania. Also, mines don't make sense within this context. Maybe bombs, but not mines.
