Dried Blood Stains (Lingering Post-Slaughter Visuals)

Valpo · 2014-11-22T19:53:44.000Z

Flesh rots-
tissue is essentialy flesh so it should rot as well

as for blood pudles .

if they are not indoors theres always a chance that they get washed of by rain.
they should also be subject to rotting.
but maybe they can be tweaked to turn into dried blood and linger a bit longer then rot away.
i agree it would add to immersion but pls if it affects performance make it optional.

…honestly i can’t see this game having performance problems. You’d have to be running windows XP for this thing to really tax a machine. That or have about 200 kilobytes of RAM.

Also, i really think this would be hella cool. And with tiles, even better.

8gig ram win 7 3.6 gh quad core.

I got Issues with performance when i have many enemies or items on the screen. It got better lately but i still haven t slept smooth in ages.
Performance is a huge issue actually do not unterestimate it at all.

The odd stain of dried blood would be nice. BUT CAN I LICK IT UP TO RESTORE 1 HUNGER?!

Then I guess that’s more of a game optimization thing, isn’t it?

Idk. I’m hardly informed on the topic but it puzzles me that there’d be anything debilitating from this kind of game. The graphics are far from demanding and the calculations are just kinda checklists.

That’s why we love Roy. And the devs. Just love you people.

Holy crap, just like that?

Well then. Guess that solves that.

Coolthulhu · 2014-11-22T21:33:10.000Z

I don’t like the change because now it’s like 4 days sitting in one place for the blood to go away, no matter the rain.
If decorative fields retroactively applied time, got removed by rain etc. then it would be cool to have long-lasting blood fields.
Now craft/sleep bases will still be clean (still no need for mops), but there will be seas of “dried” blood just outside the reality bubble.

Also, long-lasting blood impairs corpse pile identification (dead zombie type, items on top of the pile etc.) and IMO visibility matters infinitely more than cool effects.

Jakers · 2014-11-22T21:44:09.000Z

Grab a mop, good sir. Now they might actually have a use (unless you can’t actually mop away the blood.)

i2amroy · 2014-11-23T02:23:26.000Z

Yeah, mops will cleanup any old blood, gib, bile, or most other bodily fluid messes just fine. And AFAIK items and stuff should always be displaying on top of blood fields, since it’s set to the lowest “ground level” priority in the code.

Actually i read the PR and it just makes the blood last longer, but it will go away!

Try accidentally setting a mansion on fire and using Mshock32’s tileset. I’m sure it would do the same with any given tileset, though. I don’t know what it would do playing in ASCII though, I haven’t tried that yet.

Actually fire can lag you even without tilesets. I think it’s because it makes smoke and it also creates the heatmaps and stuff and it burns this and explodes that and you know.

Valpo · 2014-11-23T15:44:23.000Z

try a few thousand enemies and you got your lag.

Also i once smahesd a car crash site into about 60 thousand pieces. It was a lil laggy.
