00:35 <Cepheid> Time to stop working. Spent most of the day learning, experimenting, going insane.
00:37 * Ali puffycheeks and boops Lumindia
00:38 * Cepheid sits atop Schism. "Now that I've unlocked up to level 90, I can move through Stratum 6 a bit more safely."
00:46 <Cepheid> Yes, game, because that isn't creepy at all.
00:46 <Cepheid> Along the path to the Zombie Dragon, there's a chest. Keep in mind, this is in a battlefield that's basically a giant graveyard.
00:46 <Cepheid> In the quest?
00:46 <Cepheid> A coffin.
00:46 <Cepheid> Er, in the chest*
00:49 <Cepheid> ... Eh, I'm here, and I thi- Yeah, I got curse damage. Let's see if I can pull this off.
00:52 <Cepheid> ...
00:52 <Cepheid> That worked way too well.
00:53 <Cepheid> Last attempt at a Cursed Reap, one more strike would have killed him. It succeeds. He proceeds to use a party-wide attack, and takes 173 damage. It kills him.
00:53 <Cepheid> Thus satisfying "killed by curse damage"
00:53 <Cepheid> Mmm. Cursed Loincloth.
00:55 <Cepheid> Now for the hell that is the sixth stratum. It's... It's different.
00:56 <Cepheid> There's no walls, but you can't see paths that aren't connected to the one you're on. There's directional teleporters everywhere. Walk into it, it teleports you 5 steps ahead. On top of this there are teleporters with different colours that appear to do different things, with no specific patterning to it.
00:58 <Cepheid> ... Oh no.
01:00 <Cepheid> ... I'm gonna have to either draw these maps out on paper, or come up with a way of colouring the map.
01:01 <Cepheid> Four possible directions that a teleporter can be entered. There's 8 colours to choose from, so.. Just set the exit point to one of the four colours.

01:05 <Cepheid> Let's see if this is how I think it works...
01:06 <Cepheid> Yeah, it is
01:09 <Cepheid> ... Well *YAY*. There's teleporters that end up on the same tile in multiple places. Hmm. I'll need a fifth colour then.

01:19 * Cepheid uses ponies as indicators of teleport destinations. Places DashedRainbows in F-4, 2-2. He's in outer space, so he's kinda floating there.
01:29 <Schism> Ah, teleport mazes, what fun.
01:34 <Cepheid> Well, at least it's working.
01:34 <Cepheid> It's not so much a teleport maze though as it is a "jump maze"
01:34 <Cepheid> The teleports are predictable.
01:35 <Cepheid> Blue ones always teleport you ahead 5 tiles in the direction you move into it.
01:35 <Cepheid> Orange ones teleport you 10 tiles.
01:35 <Cepheid> There's green ones, and based on notes I left, they change floors, but I'm not sure how as I didn't poke it.
01:35 <Cepheid> .... Oh yes.
01:36 <Cepheid> No more do I have to ever worry about conditional drops ever again.
01:36 <Cepheid> I found the conditional drop that makes getting conditional drops somewhat trivial.
01:36 <Cepheid> Stupefied Orbs, drops from confused Imps. Turns into Formaldehyde.
01:36 <Schism> Pff. Oh? And Formaldehyde does...?
01:37 <Cepheid> Any enemies slain on the turn a Formaldehyde is used will drop all their items. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
01:37 <Cepheid> This includes their conditional drops.
01:37 <Schism> Oh, nice. Though of course gotta kill 'em on that turn.
01:37 <Cepheid> Like I said, somewhat trivial.
01:38 <Cepheid> These are worth their weight in gold, and should be preserved for either superbosses, bosses with difficult conditions, or Stardust enemies.
01:39 <Cepheid> The Stardust rarely come in groups of three, and I can kill them in a single hit. They're worth gobs of EXP too, apparently. But that's not what's great about them.
01:39 <Cepheid> They're the source of the drop that provides Amrita II, which restores a staggering 150 TP.
01:40 <Cepheid> Which themselves are critical for prolongued battles. *COUGH* Superbosses *COUGH*
01:41 <Cepheid> ~25000 En short of the best staff for my magic user.
01:41 <Cepheid> Well then, let's figure out how the green teleporters work.
01:42 <Cepheid> I am in C-7, on floor 27. Sub-cell coordinates (0,2).
01:43 <Cepheid> I was teleported to.... A-7, floor 26. Sub-cell coordinates (0,3). The teleporter itself was at C-7, Floor 27, (0,3).
01:43 <Cepheid> So I moved down one floor, same cell column, different cell row.
01:46 <Cepheid> ...
01:46 <Cepheid> Functional theory.
01:46 <Cepheid> This area is not split up into floors. It's actually a single, large plane. It's just expressed as "floors" because of the limitations of the engine.
01:47 <Cepheid> Blue teleporters move forward one cell. Orange, two cells. Green, ??? cells.
01:47 <Cepheid> Four cells.
01:47 <Cepheid> As the place is called the Empyreal Bridge, logic dictates that each floor is 1/5th of a vertical "bridge"
01:48 <Cepheid> Thus, activating a teleporter in a direction that would take me beyond the bounds to the north or south move me one 7-by-6 map in the respective direction.
01:50 <PinkieShy> Well that's weird.. :P First time i saw that happen.. Then agian they did say they are doing server maintence so weird issues will occur..
01:50 <PinkieShy> I was in a deathrun world and.. went AFK for about a minute or two.. Got teleported to a public lag free box.
01:51 <PinkieShy> Neat though :P
01:51 <Cepheid> I honestly don't know how I devised the layout of this place from the nature of 3 teleporters.
01:52 <Cepheid> If my theory is correct, this should leave me... here.
01:52 <Cepheid> ... Lookit that, exactly where I expected.
01:56 <Cepheid> I'm gonna have to string a bunch of graph paper together for this map, aren't I? Or, better yet..
01:56 * Cepheid goes to look for grid mapping software.
01:57 <Cepheid> I'll do it later. Use spreadsheet software or something.

02:25 <Cepheid> Oh. Don't attack with magic.
02:28 <Schism> Heh. Pop goes the foe.
02:29 <Cepheid> Yep.
02:30 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the FOEs of this floor appear to be invisible under certain conditions.
02:30 <Cepheid> If I had to gue- Yep.
02:31 <Cepheid> Hmm.
02:32 <Cepheid> So that's how it works.
02:32 <Cepheid> There's damage tiles on the map.
02:32 <Cepheid> If the FOE is over them, the FOE is visible.
02:32 <Cepheid> Otherwise, it is invisible.
02:33 <Cepheid> Other way around actually.
02:41 * Cepheid is mapping this section a different way. Walking the perimeter.
02:50 <Cepheid> This place is confusing.
02:50 <Cepheid> I'm looking at a "wall" I can walk around.
02:50 <Cepheid> But regardless of the side I look at it from, I cannot see the opposite side, even though it's within range of me seeing in the first place.

03:00 <Cepheid> Sorry Spitfire, didn't mean to startle you. Speaking of him, my mother asked the vet about his behaviour.
03:00 <Cepheid> Vet thinks something spooked him real good, like "My life is in danger" spooked.
03:00 * Filly_Nightmares kneads Schism tummy
03:00 <Cepheid> And it's the first time it's ever happened to him, so he's being overly cautious.
03:01 * DashedRainbows barks and offers the Filly_Nightmares a mango
03:01 <Cepheid> I also found what spooked him.
03:02 * PinkieShy gets on a virtual elevator with weird floors
03:02 <Ali> And that was Cepheid?
03:02 <Cepheid> I have a stack of books on top of my bookshelf. One of them must have been slanted a bit. It slid off and landed down on the floor behind the bookshelf.
03:02 <PinkieShy> There's a pokemon floor, a breakfast floor, a mirror floor, a flash bang world.. xD
03:02 <PinkieShy> err *floor
03:02 <Ali> Did his tail poof up Cepheid?
03:02 <Cepheid> My guess is he got so spooked because A) It was at 1 in the morning, and thus pitch dark. And B) The source of the sound could not be seen.
03:02 <Cepheid> You have no idea, Ali.
03:03 <Ali> Oh yes I do
03:03 <Ali> I've seen my cats with huge poofed tails
03:03 <Ali> Its rather funny
03:03 <Cepheid> Not only was his tail poofed up, but he refuses to go near the bookshelf at the moment, and has trouble even entering my room.

03:11 <Ali> All he needs is a hockey stick~
03:12 <Cepheid> Heh.
03:12 <Cepheid> They're a little far from Canada. New Hampshire.
03:16 <Cepheid> This place is hard to navigate with the FOEs. I'm coward-mapping the place, now.\
03:19 <Cepheid> There.
03:19 <Cepheid> Made it to 29F.
03:24 * Cepheid grabs Ali and places her in space to use as a beacon.
03:24 * Cepheid grabs Schism and does the same. Now he can triangulate his position. o3o
03:25 * Ali squeaks
03:26 <Cepheid> Interestingly, accessing floor 29, or section 4 of the bridge, does not unlock any new sidequests. Which means that the last superboss before the True Final Boss is accessed after getting to some point on floor 30.

11:12 <Lumindia> a what?
11:17 <Schism> A character type in City of Heroes. ^^;
11:19 <Schism> The 'Blaster' is a ranged DPS, but a 'Scrapper' is a melee DPS. A blapper is, therefore, a blend which looks like a soup but eats like a meal.
11:19 <Schism> Wades into the middle of combat for reasons like having a lot of PBAoE auras.
11:22 <Lumindia> .....
11:22 <Lumindia> ??????????
11:23 <Schism> Whyfor the confusion? Unlike in FFXIV, the roles kinda sorta melded together back then.
11:24 <Schism> You'd get healers and mezzers angling for the best position on the field to get everything at once, sometimes irrespective of the danger.
11:25 <Schism> Giving the tank(s) the benefit of their aura by being there. :S Of course, that could backfire, but it was viable.
11:26 <Lumindia> it was the food comparison that threw me off
11:26 <Schism> Okay, so it's not the best metaphor. I just woke up. :<

21:37 <Cepheid> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMVQZUrZnrI
21:37 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
21:37 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about 【東方ボーカル】 「clear vision」 【EastNewSound】
21:39 <Cepheid> Hum, LibrarianofHope. How would you map emotions to environments? For example, rage is often associated with fire, so for example, a volcanic region. Serenity is often associated with an open grass plain, and so on. How would you map emotions like, say, Sadness, Depression, Embarassment, Happiness, Fear, Hatred, Affection, etc?
21:40 <Cepheid> The only one I can definitively pin myself, outside of anger and serenity, is sadness/depression. Depression, being a stronger variant of sadness, feels akin to being within a deep sea. Not drowning, but being crushed by all the pressure, the weight of the water.
21:40 <LibrarianofHope> it highly depends on specific lore info
21:41 <Cepheid> Hmm.
21:41 <LibrarianofHope> for example, in a plain sci fi ship you can create the image of rage or fear in a very hot or very dark enviroment
21:42 <LibrarianofHope> you need to know what general idea serves the plot, then work specifics for mood
21:42 <Cepheid> Truth told, I'm not sure about the story still. I want something interesting, a core that is unique to me, in some way.
21:42 <LibrarianofHope> i made mine first on the general concept of hope and what reality is.
21:43 <LibrarianofHope> but i specialized in my methods, i have no cllue if othera can use them
21:43 <Cepheid> I commonly see a lot of weird, specific images in my daydreams and wandering mind, these days. I'm wondering if I should embed them into the core. But the problem is that most of them are related to self-analysis.
21:44 <Cepheid> My head is clear, I am calm. I am better than the me who existed a year past.
21:44 <LibrarianofHope> i could give you a copy of my creation tools
21:44 <Cepheid> Mmm, I'm good, for now.
21:44 <LibrarianofHope> documents i distilled to create things
21:44 <LibrarianofHope> its a bunch of questions you can fill
21:45 <LibrarianofHope> that could help you get a grasp on a plot idea
21:46 <Cepheid> Mmm, I don't think I should use this idea I have. Part of it covers something I... don't want to go over. Not that it's embarassing, or something I want buried, I just... No.
21:47 <Cepheid> The idea was based around the emotions of one who suffers from bipolar and/or depression. But one of the "ideas" I got to express sadness, is.. *Shudders*
21:47 <Cepheid> I wish I hadn't thought of this idea now.
21:48 <LibrarianofHope> this can take a while, i been at my works most of my lif3
21:49 <LibrarianofHope> for now just write down ideas in a sort of one man brainstorming
21:49 * Schism noms upon some bean-with-bacon soup.
21:49 <LibrarianofHope> write it all down, let it rest for a month or so and get back to it to see what stands out
21:50 <Schism> Cepheid: A lot of thought patterns get stuck that way, yeah...
21:53 <Cepheid> Well, the basic idea was a PC, representing me, exploring a place that had numerous locations, each representing different emotions I go through in my bipolar mania/normal/depression states. And in the section relating to depicting the crushing feeling of sadness and loss, well..
21:53 <Cepheid> My brain came up with this idea of the boss entity of that area utilizing my deceased cat to torment the PC.
21:54 <Schism> Sounds, uh... very Binding of Isaac at the end there.
21:54 * Schism hugs the Cepheid. :<
21:55 <Cepheid> Well, to me, that was effectively the lowest point in my life. I've been depressed and considered... certain actions, yes. But nothing will ever crush me as much as that day.
21:56 <Schism> Indeed...
22:19 *** Quits: danwellby (danwellby@The.lone.griffon) (Connection closed)
22:22 <Cepheid> So, Schism.
22:22 <Cepheid> Stratum 6 of EOV is about where Atlus went back to their roots of "Let's be arseholes."
22:22 <Cepheid> The structure is exactly as I figured it out last night.
22:23 <Cepheid> The five "floors" are actually just one vertically long map. The Empyreal Bridge. A literal "bridge" constructed within the limitations of their engine.
22:24 <Cepheid> The first 4/5ths of the damned were crafted maliciously.
22:24 <Cepheid> Er, damned bridge*
22:24 <Schism> Judging by how you were cursing it up last night, I got that.
22:25 <Cepheid> Basically, you go across the bridge. Then it looks back, and you go all the way back.
22:25 <Cepheid> Er, loops*
22:25 <Schism> Ah.
22:25 <Schism> Gotta find the exit.
22:25 <Cepheid> Then it loops around *AGAIN*
22:25 <Schism> You mentioned how it's like a Klein bottle.
22:25 <Cepheid> Using very small, cramped spots on earlier maps to push you around the bridge.
22:25 <Cepheid> Yep.
22:26 <Schism> I'm also envisioning Rainbow Road.
22:26 <Cepheid> I'm level 75 across the board, and the FOEs are still red to me.
22:26 <Cepheid> Tried fighting one. Didn't go well.
22:27 <Cepheid> Hmm.
22:28 <Cepheid> I like exploration, that's a core theme of my game, straight up. There's something about the exploration that I like about games like La-Mulana, Metroid, etc.

22:28 <Cepheid> But Etrian Odyssey/Labyrinth of the World Tree added another aspect that I also like and desire, but I'm not exactly sure how to express
22:29 <Cepheid> Dark Souls also influenced this a tad. I like verticality. Extreme heights, extreme depths.
22:29 <Cepheid> I suspect a part of it has to the do with the fact that we often associate depth with darkness. And with darkness, comes weirdness.
22:29 <Schism> Heh, look into The Deadly Tower of Monsters sometime, you might appreciate it.
22:29 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:30 <Cepheid> But my question is, how do you express depth? Especially extreme depths. Off the top of my head, the best way to do it would be to use fast elevators that traverse great distances, or teleporters, with some on-screen UI that indicates player depth.
22:31 <Cepheid> The teleporters teleport the player further down or up, and are the ways into the different regions of the game. But some of them are impressively deep.
22:31 <Cepheid> Imagine going through a portal, and you end up in a sweltering, magmatic place(DOn't ask how you survive), you look at your depth meter. According to it, you're 38,000 meters below the sea level.
22:32 <Ali> Is THAT where they're hiding the portal to Equestria?
22:34 <Cepheid> Heh.
22:36 <Ali> I'd like to play Factorio again at some point Cepheid but its not a rush

23:35 <Cepheid> I have to return to town, re-dispatch to the area to get back.
