Yo, wasup everyone? IBMrYanshu and you be viewing my bio and my profile! I'm just another guy in the gamer community who is getting rather bored of all the big new games that always end, so I decided I should look into indie games! My friend brought me here and introduced me to a game (Black Ice) and I knew this was the place. I have a YouTube channel where I post videos and there is a series I'm doing called "Indiedective" where I check out random Indie games (most likely free) and I do a review with some gameplay. Be sure to check it out! Just copy the line below into the YouTube website or search my username to find me! /user/ibmryanshu If you like my content, be sure to leave a like, check out my other videos and subscribe if you want! It helps motivate me to bring YOU more content! BE WARNED! Some content of my videos may contain ponies!

Well yeah but does it do the sound effect and does it fire a huge blue laser that decimates everything it touches?

Yeah, I kinda figured. Anyways, I already got an idea for a mod which adds in an old meme which has something to do with firing and lazars and blargh. Yeah, you probably know what I'm talking about. XD

Admin rights fixed. Now I can record. Expect a video sometime next week. Possibly a little later if there are unforeseen events that'll push back recording and production time.

When in doubt, study. If my father was correct in saying that almost all scripting languages are similar, maybe Minecraft Forge could help you get an idea of how to make singleplayer mods possible and maybe even server mods.

Though maybe Unity's scripting is way different from Java... I haven't scripted with Unity or anything else for that matter. Just Java.

I did not know that about Epcot! That's pretty cool to hear. Or... read I guess...

Also if I were to think Minecraft then I'd be thinking of not just local servers but public servers as well hosted by a website and plugins. That and modded servers too.

That should be interesting when it comes out.

I will try to work on a video as soon as possible, but apparently my recording software requires admin rights. I'm getting that fixed soon.

I just want to see how far this game will come over the years. I think it's going to be epic.

The level cap should definitely be a thing. I am in total agreement with that.

I see what you mean about the mixed culture servers. Actually, it kind of reminds me of Epcot from Disney World. A bunch of cultures mixed into one area. I think that's pretty cool. Can't wait for that!

Also I see the ships would be a little too big a project. I'm just throwing out an idea that could possibly be done. It would be pretty cool but the way the game is now I see that isn't possible at the moment.

Also I subscribed to you on YouTube. :3

Now, I was told by my friend that multiplayer will be a thing sometime? How is that going to work out? Just local servers?

Well, you see the thing is... Twitter is blocked. My dad is a little overly strict about the web. I definitely would follow if i could get a Twitter account though!

As for the weapons it only takes me a matter of minutes of hacking, slashing and selling to be able to buy it in a shop. I was able to buy one on my first playthrough when I was about level 5 or something. It was the AMRAM. On another playthrough I was about level 10 and got the meglaser. or whatever it was called... Memory is a bit foggy so if it's actually impossible to get them at those levels, just add 5. Still takes a matter of minutes though if you know how to level up quickly. Strats from a friend! :3

Also with Light Cycles comes a new idea. Other cities! Maybe different kinds of cities where they have a set culture. Meaning you could start in an American city and travel to a Mexican/Chinese city with unique server names relating to the culture. Maybe even add oceans to traverse with hackable boats or ships. Then maybe ship battles!

Just realizing that ideas take seconds but actually making them real could take months or years... Whatever you can do would be awesome.

You see, this is where I wish I had Twitter or Facebook. :P I don't have many ideas but I thought maybe there could be a way to upgrade weapons (add special little perks like poison/RAM drain or fire, whatever it would be called in the cyber world.) to be a little better so that you don't just get the best weapons near the beginning and stick with them the rest of the game. Maybe even small transport programs or personal servers you get access to through some special event which drops even better stuff. Of course there would probably have to be some major difficulty involved if you were to get maybe a sniper that deals 100+ damage or something. Maybe even a few more outside server enemies such as a MECH. Something else to add onto the threat of wandering about. The S.H.A.R.K. isn't that big of a deal unless you're doing it YOLO. Even when I wasn't, I was able to snipe it down from the top of a building. Didn't enjoy that. :/ I like challenges. It's still an excellent game as I have said before! I can't wait to see what more you will add to this and I hope that maybe these very few ideas I have help in some way.

Sounds awesome. When this game gets mod support, i would love to attempt to make a mod myself.Not sure how it would go considering I'm completely noob to scripting and... well, everything. I would like to try though. That is if you're okay with that. Already told a few of my friends about this game!

Thank you! I only have one small problem with the game so far. When I hit save &exit, the game doesn't save my progress. Is there something I'm supposed to do to create a save file or is that just a bug or something? Also I don't know if you had the idea or not but I would appreciate implementation of melee weapons to help fight off close quarters enemies. Other than that, I don't really have anything else to say other than one question. What do you think of mods?

This game is absolutely amazing! I haven't been looking for indie games recently but my friend actually brought this up and I was mind blown. We were talking via skype and decided we should do a video or two on this! If you want to see it when its up-loaded, I could supply a link. Only thing is I don't know this website's formatting for links like what is shown in stephenmbanham's comment...
