that is worrying. hopefull while accurate it takes time to aim. and maybe it needs to maintain the beam for a while to work. regardless let's not get hit with it.

see any exits from this area?

>>218427
Let's move in and scout the area. That machine thing was probably involved in sealing the door... or maybe there are some crazy machine soldiers stored in here! Won't that be fun?

It'd certainly be-

Oh hell. I don't like this. I don't like this at all. No, even I wouldn't bring this one door down.
And this is the only alternative to getting lost in oceans of rubble.

This must be one of the tunnels - they lead to separate sectors, as far as I remember. This must be an unused gate and an abandoned exit tunnel... but I'm more interested in the fact WHAT the flying monkey's last fuck just broke into there, and why?

whoever is charge of this place, probably trying to get ... SOMETHING! who knows, but whatever it is they wanted is probably important, and taking it from them will probably help you do whatever.

>>218447
Now is no time to get distracted. We need all the time we can get...

>>218447
Uh, I can't see the door you're talking about. Well, ignoring visual difficulties... it sounds like your options are a door you can't break down and a sea of rubble. Take a closer look at the door, in that case.

There... thick, sturdy metal grating. Something ripped it open effortlessly, clearing an uncertain, yet the only path.

hmm, take it then. was probably a machine built for just the purpose of opening it.

Oh, I understand now. The door was already down and you were commenting that something huge must've broken it.

Very well, let's go in. We can always run away if need be.

Once more into the breach! Our enemies quake in fear at our approach.

Okay maybe not, but that's only because they don't know what you're capable of! And also that they don't know you're coming.

something turned on after you went in. not sure how long after. things like that get time dilated. just be wary of back attacks.

Don't try to scare me, I'm already alert enough as it is. Besides, you couldn't have sensed something that I didn't.

If you say so, we won't try to convince you. Just be prepared for an 'I told you so'.

Move forward, keep weapon drawn.

we have extra-sensory powers. can see around corners. and stuff. need a little finagling to do it right but we can.
stand against the door frame and we will try to look in. if for some reason it doesn't work then you peek in. rushing in always is a bad idea.

Your perception is no different from mine, I am afraid. I cannot sense any entity unless I'm in the same room.

Oh great. Sentient waste, primitive life forms that evolved just like any life - except that their natural habitat happened to be sewage and scrap. They try to absorb anything that can be turned into energy - and anything that moves. But thankfully, they're slow and fragile.

so you are seeing the back of your head?

anyway. just shank them and then check out that closed and possibly locked door.

Seems like a straightforward battle to me.

(apparently that was not canonically something we saw. We're basically getting a feed via only what Riel senses- which is a lot)

while i doubt i need to tell you, aim for the cores. and take the one on the right first.

There's nothing to aim for actually, damaging their coating to spill them should be enough, like all slimes.

Waste Ooze (right) is destroyed.

I forgot to actually scale/move the background, resulting in bad sprite proportions. Epic fail.

see if you can follow up and smack the other before it tries to eat your leg.

Kill 2nd ooze

Use your superior reach to stay out of its range.

Using this voice's clever advice, I keep out of range of the ooze. It won't hit me before I can strike again.

excellent. slay the bugger and check that closed, maybe locked door. and see if you can guess if it is kick down-able. if it is not then go through the opened door. if it is then lets check it first.

>>219386
Yes, essentially. Kill the slime and move... whichever direction is possible.

Waste Ooze destroyed.

Slime-thing dispatched. The west door is sealed with some sort of clockwork access system I can't hope to hack, so I'm off through the northern doorway.

Clockwork lock on the west door, you say? Is it a mechanical key, or combination, or something more exotic?

yeah. unless it requires an item to bypass with can crack that thing in relatively no time

A mechanical lock in shape of a card slot, though so complex it's impossible to pick it. It proves that these tunnels are old, even from before they rediscovered the usage of electricity.

I proceed further into the tunnel. There's a gate here which is most likely an exit to the inner city. I'm not sure how it works, but it seems to be more modern than the previous one.
The tunnel continues east, and is blocked by rubble on the opposite.

check the red panels closer. if they seem to do nothing but glow then let's just go east.

>>222900
I wanna see what's in the rest of this corridor.

I press a button on one of the panels. It turns green, and one of the two gates shifts aside, however it closes as soon as I let go.

well dang... hmm, try jamming your sword into the ground and lean it's handle against the button, then you push the other one. if that fails to work then head east.

Hmm. Can you just open up the panel and maybe splice some wires to make it always 'pressed'? Or hack it directly?

Nope, it's electric. All I can do is draining power from it, which would destroy it beyond re-

There. Is that all? I mean, resolution matters in 2D only, as to determine whether should I pixelfag or drawfag.

i don't know, kinda hard to decide what to pick without an example. could you bump your Dis thread or something with examples?

>>238226
Pixel!
320x240, oh how I remember the days... Pixels as big as cats.

I HAVE a disthread?

Yes, and i just bumped it.

>>238232
I bet you don't since EGA/CGA are 320x200 with non-square pixels to get 4:3. 320x240 is a more modern mutation of it.
