Answers to frequently asked questions (and nonquestions) for my game, Hotline Roblox.
The game can be found as my only active place (cos I don't have BC)
Hopefully this is in the right place .-.

Q: What is this based off of?
A: Hotline Miami.  You get out from under that rock yet?

Q: You copied this idea and the title from me/my friend!
A: No, I didn't.  You/they were inspired by the same game.

Q: How do you do X?
A: All controls are listed in the lobby.

Q: Can you fix this bug?/Fix this bug now!
A: Bugfixing is difficult: Most bugs are derived from lag, caused by  complex client-server-client system.  Know that I'm doing my best to fix these though.

Q: Can you fix the lag issues?
A: I'm still working on optimizations, but keep in mind I'll only be able to optimize the game so far.

Q: Can we turn off blood and gore?
A: No.  Unlike games like Gladiators, blood is put on models, and physical gore is included.  Besides, creating client-side gores would require heavy processing.

Q: Can you make bodies disappear?
A: Bodies don't impact lag, though they may reduce framerate.  Besides, removing them lessens the image and impact of the carnage.

Q: Add characters wih animal masks!
A: This is a conflicting issue for me.  I want to add Richard first, but all chicken masks look ridiculous, and Juan is too reminiscent of something else.  Maybe a Rasmus, though.

Q: Will there be a shop?
A: No.  Players wil earn experience during rounds, whereas levelling will unlock characters for a one use per round basis, with players being allowed to take a few per round.

Q: Nerf Dave/Marche!
A: Those issues will be resolved by the aforementioned system.

Q: Will you release a map-making kit?
A: Probably not.  Keeping map-making to myself ensures consistent quality and aesthetic, as well as maps suitable for respective music.  As well as that, I already have about four more maps planned.

Q: Can I be a character?
A: No.

Q: Can you add a flamethrower?
A: I'm perfectly capable of doing so, but the dissonance doesn't bide well.  Even with guts torn out and legs blown off, death via flamethrower is simply one of the most inhumane ways to die, behind mustard gas and radiation.  It's just not something I can do without feeling guilt.

Q: Your game is ###################################
A: If you have issues or complaints, message me them instead of putting nasty words into that comment box.

Q: What do you yave against Russian people?
A: Nothing.  Do you know what Hotline Miami is?

I think that covers most common questions.
If you have any further questions, I'll be able to answer them starting from 5:00 PM EST on weekdays; That's when I get home.

The problem with using those hats stems from characters not always being top-down: When knocked down or killed, you'd have a very clear view of the inside of the mask.

It's not ridiculous from a texture standpoint (if that one weren't available I'd texture it myself), but rather from the model itself.

@yuki
I'm still working on finding out what causes that bug: I think it might be the remnants of the spectate system.

@Ignys
that's kinda disturbing .-.
I think I'll just make don juan

It would be cool if you could choose which skill you want on your regular skin, so you don'y have to choose an actual skill with a different skin.

@Second
The camera will always stay third-person. I'm working on spectate right now as well.

@Ironic
Adding abilities to the player may become a part of progression. However, if I do add it, it'll be limited to abilities (including proficiencies) and it will not be inclusive of starting with weapons or major abilities (i.e. throwing knives) that'd give higher level players a major edge.

Your main problem right now should be fixing the lag, unless that's me, but I've heard others complaining about lag, so I'm not sure.

Suggestion: Make the lobby look like one of the character's house. Or... The Bar of Broken Heroes...

Blunt only would kinda be stupid. That would eliminate one of the classes.
One round that I suggest is a team/npc round. Perhaps half of the server against the other? Or the entire server against one giant map filled with Ruskies.

If you can, YOU HAVE TO ADD DUAL SMGS, PWEASE.
They are the best weapon, hands down.

Suggestion: If it's a fist fight,make special executions for CHARACTERS and THEIR WEAPONS,not just weapons (you can be any character with a katana,but the execution is the same, "Operation: Cut in Half")
Also,add VIP Servers (if they aren't enabled,because I want to test out all executions,the weapons I've tried (katana,chainsaw,crowbar, 2x4 with a nail) were cool and brutal.)

Unique execution animations is probably gonna take a long time. First he/she should all of the weapon(Including the throwable ones like bricks and what-not).
