remember! duck and cover!

Those are normal missiles or the zero bombs?

Fugg

Forget what I say, I think they are just normal missiles

That's a bit overkill on the missile spam.

...

RIP in Rest Hillside

i know it's nice to see all these happenings but, how are wally and kirbee witnessing this right now?.

>Fire ze missiles

Fun fact - Duck and cover is actually an effective strategy for surviving a nuclear shockwave.


It won't do shit to help you if you're at ground zero, but if you're far enough from the detonation point to have time to react, the closer the ground and the more cover you can put between yourself and the blast the better.

Shockwaves diffuse over obstacles and lose significant amplitude as they do.

But I am le tired.

>Fun fact - Duck and cover is actually an effective strategy for surviving a nuclear shockwave.
Yeah, which just leaves the heat and fallout to kill you.

I think that the question here is how the hell Holly saw this? Does she have some kind of psychic power to see what is happening in other places? It seems that Aaron just gave up with the idea of Wally and Co witnessing the flashback in real time.

There's a dozen different things about a nuclear blast that can kill you.

Focus on dealing with the ones you can react to immediately first, then the others.

hmm...

>ICBMs flying barely 100m above sea

>tfw Hillside could have been saved had they only built the wall

>I think that the question here is how the hell Holly saw this?

i think that holly's perspective of things is not relevant anymore, we already know what happened to her and i think the arc just moved from her past to a more general issue, which is how all mutants got into endtown.

Progress on a C++ game...

With Suule's contributions in sprite work I have something to show on the window instead of an endless void. There are no animations currently but not because it would be too difficult to code.

What is probably not noticeable from the image alone is how the tiles are drawn onto the screen. Using tinyxml2 and an algorithm or two, I can use map editors such as Tiled to save .xml files that can then be used as areas or maps. Pretty nifty and convenient as long as you keep the file locations consistent.

Now I'm working on a HUD to be displayed for the player. The issue currently is not in drawing the HUD itself, but how the HUD should be in the first place. Should it be an overlay on the game screen or a separate box within the window? Would it be better to convey more information or to be less intrusive?

they don't look alike

I have the same sinking suspicion.

It doesn't look like the same ship, plus those missiles are going to destroy it

Jacob was right

...

this is actually looking pretty cool

The problem is that this flashback is constructed in base of her memories, unless you want to say that this is a product of her imagination at the time

>The problem is that this flashback is constructed in base of her memories

has this been confirmed?

>that this is a product of her imagination at the time

that's not what i mean, i'm just saying that she's no longer a focus on this arc, at least for now, so it doesn't really matters.

I'm getting the suspicion the flashback is based on something else.
What it is, I have no idea.

Trash thread is still up, in case some one missed the new art from previous thread... just saying.

L U C R A N I A N S

This is just a warning shot.

So we're finally getting to see the bombs drop right as a military coup takes place in Turkey.

Wonder if this will end up being a prophetic strip?

>ib4 turkey gets nuked

nah, radiation clouds would spread over Middle-E....
yeah turkey gets nuked.

I have a feeling that it went from present to past when the car crashed.

What kind of ship has GIANT GREEK PILLARS?

I guess they aren't big fans of Holly either.

Go with overlay.

...

>let's nuke it
Baka amerikano.

I feel like there are more missles being launched towards that one area than there are in the world currently

Overlay and hey that looks good! I'll do some placeholder guy to test things out tomorrow.

You'd be surprised.

Though being able to launch that many simultaneously is a real feat.

This is not how missles work and I am offended.

Kek. And that's on a good day

Well that escalated quickly.

t. ICBM

I don't get it. Those are good things.

Here, some free education

It's for narrative

if the whole thing was rigidly kept to Holly's perspective, Wally and co wouldn't be able to wander around

>has this been confirmed?
Well, this flashback focused on Holly in the beginning, plus many things are altered according to her perspective at the time. Unless this is actually the flashback of some secret stalker that for some reason is obsessed with Holly, but that would be too much coincidence.

Isn't Hillside on the American continent though?

Apparently the League of Nations means business in this reality.

Hillside is in North America.

Hillside is the East Coast area, AKA Neitherland.
Everything else is either USA or CSA or irrelevant

>Hillside is the East Coast area
...which is in North America.

>Google "lucranians endtown"
...Ohhhhhhh the fuckos Marx bantered about in that one strip.
Wait why are we blaming everything on them?

It's a meme, they're like the dinkleberg of these threads

RHYMING WORDS

Yup. Looks like he realised he was hamstrung by his own rules, so he just dumped them.

That reminds me. Wouldn't elevators be one of the first things to install?

theory is the elevators are all at the bottom, and will ascend once the bombs arrive

for tension

Right, but they were still wandering around in an area that was copied from her memories. She couldn't have seen this, unless this comes from a silly whim she had.

According to the castor guy "stuff was being prepared" possibly the elevadors are there but they won't active until later, maybe because Farx wanted to fuck with them.

we are not Wally and co tho. They are the ones limited to Holly's memories, while we are not.

agreeing with this because if the elevators were working and ferrying people, they would undoubtedly try to keep bringing people in, along with ones already in trying to bring in more family

pretty grim that they kept this upper room as a buffer, to pack with as many as possible and then call that the limit.

What happens to salt water when it gets irradiated? Does it also turn to ash? In large spikey waves, as seen outside the lizard colony?

Right, but the flashback was still framed as being limited to Holly's memories *via* them. It's been discussed before how it looks like Aaron's realised that is a limitation and just quietly (but not entirely neatly) dropped it.

We actually don't know if zero bombs even generate heat, that they just disintegrate things and the blast itself blows the resulting dust away

it remains to be seen what happens to water

he evidently wanted to add to the narrative by showing us this scene to give us a sense of how doomed Hillside was. What's wrong with that?

Why is a Bone there?

didn't you read that arc?

That's interesting, those look like they're coming from much higher than the ones on the new page.

Evidently zero bpmbs keep a segment of rocket motor and don't just drop the re-entry vehicle containing the warhead/mirved warheads. Or maybe Aaron just doesn't know how an ICBM works. Either way, the ones in the new page look more like cruise missiles, what with their low flight altitude.

Nothing much, it just contradicts the rules that were established earlier but which we've been suspecting he's discarded for a while now.

I keep putting off actually reading the comic on the site.

THAT'S what that character reminded me of. Thanks, dude.

they probably skim the sea, then climb before hitting the target.

What if the blast was so big that it move all the water from his place?

Nothing wrong, but a little confusing if he first established that we are seeing everything from Holly's memory.

That's why I think that these are normal missiles, they're more smaller than the ones in Sparkplug arc, plus, Farx said that there's still a week before everyhthing goes to shit.

>turtle who has a turleneck
fucking Aaron

>it just contradicts the rules

>ICBMs
Cruise missiles user.

Wouldn't be the first time Aaron had written himself into a corner and chosen a not-entirely-graceful way out...

rectify that immediately. We don't want to reach Poppy thread levels of dialog.

Actually, the only thing that could realistically help you is if you lie face first on the floor towards the origin point of the blast. That way the shockwave travels parallel to your lungs and doesn't turn them into hamburger as it travels through your organs.

If you lie against a wall or under objects, the shockwave will actually reflect off the wall (and/or ceiling) and bounce back at you, exponentially increasing the strength of the shockwave.

Cruise missles are gay.

you are right @ImWithClintoris now

the missiles should be 100% porn

That's why we have the /trash/ thread Satan

Most military weapons are gay. They're vaguely penis-shaped and most of them function by ejecting a payload out of a long, hard tube

post more bat.

Do you think they took the time to develop some missile defense too?

those rockets on the side make me think its a flying ship

Yeah, aerodynamics is controlled by the gay agenda.

I think it actually is, Wally mentions that it looks like the Marx's one

That'd be interesting - this could be a probing wave to deplete the supply of antimissile-missiles.

they strictly hire gay fashion designers to develop their weapons, turns out vagina shaped rockets are not very effective.

>Our missiles will blot out the sun
THEN WE SHALL FIGHT IN THE SHADE

Jesus Christ!
Did the world laugh every nuke and zero bomb at the same damn time?!

There's so many that I think they must have guffawed, giggled, chortled and possibly tee-hee-hee'd too.

>Each Marx has their own stolen airship
>One Marx just so happened to crash theirs in that universe
>It's Farx's

I think it went like this: the other nations send a buch a missiles to the Neitherlands in a attempt to stop the mutant outbreak, Neitherlands' goverment gets pissed and threats the other nations with use their zero bombs in them, other nations then send their spies to collect all the information they could about the zero bombs to create their owns, everyone gets even more pissed, conflict grows, everyone decides to use the zero bombs, boom, everything is fucked.

This is the perfect reply. Thank you user for allowing me to witness it
