Re: Mission Mayhem Webfeed LIVE Now!
Wow, I really like the revised game! It's extremely exciting, even if it was improvised, it's a great use of that modular field.

Re: Mission Mayhem Webfeed LIVE Now!
It gets very intense, not as high scoring but it makes up for that with intense defense. Not only that this off season has the best commentary I have heard.

Re: Mission Mayhem Webfeed LIVE Now!
I like the set up of the field. It provides a new fun challenge. I find it amazing that you could come with the game so quickly and build the field all overnight.

Re: Mission Mayhem Webfeed LIVE Now!
Interesting idea for the field, although I must say if you could add the center goals to the sides of the fied where the ramp is would make it better, but whatever. Oh, and good luck catching those ball through the field posts
![]() Good job guys. (I wonder if there is a fee for water removal for the carpet like there is for Tuxs......) |

Re: Mission Mayhem Webfeed LIVE Now!
George and Neha say that Mercury Rising has the best posts they've ever read :-p
We spent a few hours last night working on the new design... it was really fun to have this GDC of sorts. We went through many games, some were pretty radical changes to try to make it exciting yet hold the audience. It was great being part of that experience to see how you have to take so much into consideration. I'm glad that you guys seem to enjoy it. As for Joe Matt's post, we did look into it. However with ball flow for human players, and the fact that we would need to move the field more width-wise would cause too many problems(we have very little space for spectators and needed it to be as thin as possible. I do agree if those problems weren't in there it would've been really cool. |

Re: Mission Mayhem Webfeed LIVE Now!
Man oh man, this is fun stuff. (To all the webcastites, I'm sure you're loving the view of my back.)
Teams seem to have adapted to the new format well. It seems that the trick is to just keep the balls in motion; a lot of teams are leaving a lot of balls in their corral. I'm not sure if it's coming through on the webcast, but there is indeed a net behind each goal. They do a good job of diverting the balls down and into the ball corral, which has been repurposed nicely. (Good thing FIRST didn't send the ball counting hardware, eh?) The real-time scoring is something to see; the entire operation is run off of a hacked USB keyboard (a Mac one, at that) connected to a laptop running some software Mike Walker wrote. The buttons the field staff use are rigged up to press a key. I like it. |
