For the sake of annoying novakids everywhere i velieve believe it should come to be that novakids are granted the ability to walk on water, with the downside being they're physically incapable of sinking through fluids. (Being gas people it only makes sense that they'd have difficulty submerging themselves into something much more dense than them.) What does this mean for the average novakid? They'll never be able to reach that treasure chest hidden at the bottom of a pool of water, and all because physics is a bitch. Discuss this totally serious and not-at-all a joke idea.
I don't really see any value in it. Especially when no other race has such an ability, and it's being implemented solely to annoy people.
It's not really meant to add anything or in any way, shape, or form be useful, coming up with intentionally horrid ideas that would ruin gameplay is kindof just a a hobby of mine. .u. Er, I mean... "Wtf are u talking about this ideas dabest ecs deeee"
Unless there is some way to negate this, this would make exploring ocean planets as a nova kid impossible.
I kind of disagree with this. It'd make it less fun for people who play as Novakids. Glitch still need air for some reason, and they are robutts.
and meanwhile florans refill hunger while standing on sewage blocks, and humans become noncontrollable when next to arcade machines because of their gaming addictions. Idiotic racial stats all around!
The novakids are gasses incapsulated in a "body", taking this into account when considering there's multiple gasses with vastly different densities it doesn't make them any different from any other race which also displaces water with a solid body, so I really don't see the whole point. If novakids really were made of that light gasses, why aren't they either floating away or at least jumping three times as high as standard?
I could see someone modding in random effects for each race, like Glitch sinking in Water, Novakid being able to walk upon it, Hylotl needing no oxygen but going slower (to balance this??), Humans being regular, Avians being able to wade on the top without sinking (ducks, anyone?), and Apex go fast but have low oxygen (I guess).
If you know the lore in the robots in cave story, they can only stay in water for only so long before water begins leaking into their system. They automatically shut off until the water is drained out and they are rebooted. I guessing the same thing could happen with the glitch.
I like to rationalize it that their cooling system requires airflow to run past circuitry in order to prevent overheating. (Stick a laptop in a vaccuum, i guarentee you that itll die because theres nothing for the fans to run over the internal parts.) Same applies for glitch of course, when their fans arent functioning their brains probably fuck up from heat.
I don't play Cave Story, I play Starbound. Though, since Glitch can drink water, I don't see why water would be bad for them.
@Moon Star Well there's is an inherit difference between drinking something and pouring it over your head, take the ice bucket challenge as an example, drinking ice water on a warm summer day is quite pleasant but pouring it over your head and suddenly you have an uncomfortably-viral internet challenge meme that really shouldn't be so terribly impressive.
