Auto Assault Developer Chat

[Tannhauser]

GamerGod hosted a developer chat with members of the Auto Assault team on the 3rd of this month, as reported before the event. The transcript of that chat has been posted, though it makes for a somewhat lengthy read.<blockquote>MMORPGDOT.COM: Mixing vehicle combat and RPG elements seems like a pretty innovative concept. Could you please elaborate on the RPG aspects of Auto Assault? Is there more RPG to the game than just the customization of vehicles?

[ND]Scorch: When I think of RPG elements we mean statistical based combat and loot. Your character has 4 attributes that affect your combat abilities. You also have skills that you learn to help as well. When you fire all of this and your current vehicles equipment as well as any modifiers of your target determine if you hit and for how much damage.</blockquote>So rather minimalistic RPG tendencies, that is nothing new.

Ya...if you break your opponents vehicle you can drive up to the wreck to stick your ass out the window and moon them. The rpg element is that you get to choose to "moon", "flip-off", or do other assorted things. The player being bothered can also retaliate with a choice of character actions. Example:

-Driver 1: (pulls up and moons Driver 2)
-Driver 2: (gets out of their vehicle and assrapes the bare-assed Driver 1 with a crowbar)

...there you have it. Role-playing at its online best!

Sounds reasonable.
