Guess these might end up anywho so might aswell make a dedicated thread for discussion of our beloved alien.

I noticed today that if you crouch you use energy (for attacking). Can't quite remember the NS1 mechanics, so should it do this? or is it a bug?

    crouching as a gorge is a defensive maneuver that drains energy instead of health when you're being shot at.


    also, gorge jumps too high.

    Crouching as a gorge raises the plates on the back and any damage taken will be taken from energy instead of health. It's a feature. Energy drains while doing this so you can't sit there and do it forever.

    Yeah they do seem to jump quite high. I havnt quite figured how to make one of them bellyslides aswell (if you even can >.<).

    Most of the model look amazing though. Not entirely sure how I digg his ass yet, those tentacle things seems a bit odd :o

    Would be awesome if his belly would glow when he was healing like the plushie alien he is :) - he is just meant to be gorgeous.

    Going down stairs works well, but somehow going upstairs works just as well. Gravity lacks power on bellysliding Gorge :D

    Is it possible to get the camera to look from the front when in thirdperson?

    3 gorges all spitting at marines, pretty much rapes haha.

    Just came from a muck around game, and amazing as gorge, got over 30 kills with only 8 deaths :P

    Ive gotten stuck a couple of times while using the belly slide, the only way to unstuck seemed to evolve into something different. I can't confirm this, but it also looks like that gorge spit does friendly fire to Offensive chambers while they're unbuilt.

    Icons for hydra and spit are reversed in the HUD. By "1" has a picture of a hydra, when it should be spit.

    try moving around violently while spitting until you figure out how i did this. floating spitball:

    <img src="http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9295/floatingspitball.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

    no. seriously. i have no idea how i did it.

    also, you can nudge it around, and bounce it back up in the air. until you push it to a wall, and it goes splat.


    gorges could probably just juggle 50 spitballs into the marine base and then <i>make it rain</i>

    I remember the "old days" of Gorge Heal Spray murdering Marines. Now that was hysterical!

    Can't wait to get this running!

    I made a giant Ski Slope map to see how far i could ramp my gorge. I was disappointed when he stopped half way down the ramp :(

    Seems gravity has no effect on the belly slide at the moment :(

    to high/fast and that slide is ridiculous, it's nearly impossible to kill a gorge using it.. then again it's nearly impossible to kill anything at this state haha. I kind of had the idea that slide was made for using it on slopes.. not flat terrain.

    From what I can tell the spitballs have a tendency to reflect off of certain materials including the crane at marine start and your body and other spitballs(that is when it is already slowed down). From testing that I could tell that it has a tendency to slow down the balls of vomit significantly to the point where they hover mid-air.

    WRT the spitballs I've also had irregular speeds of these. Sometimes they went slowmotion over to the wall and then going splat.

    If you crouch (cover) and then sprint/jump you'll lock the animation.
