Chat / Re: Attention audiosurf community

I don't normally login to the forum and ban people from Audiosurf, but I felt like I needed to help NovaTerran move on with his life so that he and his Waifu can be together, forever.

This thread was pointless from the beginning. No one said anything about Xeno for months, so why was this thread even created in the first place?

This is the perfect comment. Please take your pissing contests and drama elsewhere.

Bad Behavior and Project Honey Pot aren't as good as you might think. Tried them with wordpress and it didn't stop them at all from registering often.
There's better ways where you can create "are you human" checks in the registration form, or make it so that an administrator approves the registration.

Songs / Re: AudioSurf Video Creation - A HowTo and Discussion.

« on: July 15, 2011, 06:08:33 pm »

I have plans to rewrite this guide, since it is now out of date and the images are now gone (I hosted them on a private server back in England, something I don't have access to anymore)

The guide will probably be more straight forward also, and you can probably use this guide for other video creation in other games.

Thanks

'etrysdynat asked me to do it' is getting a seven day ban.

is this a fair rule or is that kinda discrimination?

This can be considered a mod sass, since you're basically doing things on behalf of a banned user. It's stupid anyway, so don't do it.

Feature Requests / Re: Will they ever do anything?

Not sure why this was locked.

The game is updated now and then, but nothing with the core gameplay changed. Usually Dylan will add a new tag to the game or improvise a feature off of someone else's idea (eg. the Visualization feature). The problem for any game developer beyond the release period, is to provide new content. When you look at a game like TF2, and the large number of updates they've added to the game, you realise that you need to look at the scope the game has in terms of additional functionality. Audiosurf is simply unable to expand past it's core features, because it's a very simplistic game. Perhaps one day Dylan will release the SDK of the game and allow people to write additional content when he feels like it would be within his interests.

I think the best reason I can suggest is that he might be working on a new game or he's enjoying his life right now. Audiosurf is just a very complete product, that is well worth the price you pay for it.

Boycott's are absolutely the worst idea I've ever heard. They've done nothing but prove that the phrase itself is more potent than the argument it's been attached to.

Wait... So you can be penalized for getting a perfect run?

A perfect run doesn't always yield the most points. There is a way to build a combo and earn higher score by purposely picking up certain greys in the song. There's also a way to extend the combo a bit by just getting blocks at the right time (eg. not running straight into them, but sliding into them from the side)

Updated the rules to be much more lax. As always, if you see a bot, report it.

This message will stay here(but unstickied now) awaiting the deployment of a general rules thread, which I have just realized is completely absent from the forums.

You have my blessing to do over the chat forum rules as well. They were pretty much a straight copy from a friends forum, which did a fairly good job keeping the peace.

This is a bit of a necropost, but I don't feel like setting up and sending a PM.

I actually know Kingpin/zentai and I know what he said was a complete joke.

Because you can always distinguish a joke on the internet, when there is no clear indication of it due to lack of body language or tone of voice.

There's still a lot to be polished in audiosurf. I hope there are updates soon (radio doesn't count)

Just don't go DDOSing the servers, demanding updates.
