Episode-2

Episode 2 of Forumwarz gives us a great opportunity to introduce changes to the gameplay balance. Since it’s a large content update we can piggyback on it with a bunch of adjustments to the balance between classes. We have been collecting feedback on the balance between classes forever, and we have a bunch of great ideas for where to start tweaking. The only problem is, tweaking even small stats on our classes means a lot of additional testing is required. When developing Episode 1, the best tool I had for this was my “Clone character” and “Reset character” tools. ...

I don’t think it’s a spoiler anymore that in Episode 2 we’re launching a new class, The Hacker. In Episode 1, the attacks you can execute are all about posting. For example, as a camwhore you’d post a picture of your cleavage to try and derail a thread. The hacker class gives us the artistic license to screw around with more than posts. The hacker can pwn the forum itself, and I’m currently having a lot of fun coding up the various attacks. ...

As you know, we’re hard at work on Episode 2 right now. There’s still a fair bit to go, but we’ve made a lot of progress and things are really starting to shape up! In Episode 1, after you choose your character you are given a short cinematic introducing that archetype’s storyline. All three classes have a different storyline which continues in Episode 2. We’ve brought back the artists who did the Emo and Troll cinematics, but we’ve lost touch with the Camwhore artist. We are looking for someone who thinks they can imitate the style of the MS-painted camwhore art in all new panels. ...

The Forumwarz creative team is hard at work bringing you the Nexxt Episizzode of your favorite web-based parody role-playing game. Today’s agenda is tweaking the Camwhore class and giving her some new visual attacks. Hot chicks making out and an upcoming episode of Forumwarz?! Now that’s what I call fapworthy! Now if you’ll excuse us, we have lots of work to do. And by “work,” of course, we mean, “searching for more royalty-free pictures of softcore porn.” ...

While we’ve been working on Episode 2 for a long time, the pace of development is about to change. Jalapeno Bootyhole is now able to focus on the writing full time, and now that INCIT is live we have no other major features in the pipeline. Starting this week, we are going to really start pounding out Episode 2! I promised when I started this blog that I’d give updates as to its status and I plan to fulfill this promise in a spoiler-free way! ...
