The FusionFall Blog: June 2016

Johnny Bravo is the main character from the series Johnny Bravo. He is constantly shoved from the realm of his desire, women, despite his many attempts. He also lives with his mother, aptly named Mama. Johnny is constantly pestered by little Suzy, a young, red-headed girl, who often avoids the troubles Johnny becomes involved in. Johnny is also friends with Carl, though often Johnny seems to loathe him.

The Future

In the Future, Johnny is nowhere to be found and was most likely defeated or

JohnnyBravoBio — Johnny's biography pictured not used on the website

captured during the later portion of Fuse's invasion.

The Past

In the Past, Johnny Bravo was originally stationed in Townsville Center. He can now be found in Orchid Bay next to Finn. He can also be found in Dexlabs, preparing for his Nano development.

Holiday Events

Johnny Bravo was first hinted at with the first release of the game, which included concept art for Johnny Bravo in Goat's Junk Yard and Orchid Bay. In addition, a picture of him was available as a FusionFall Official Forums avatar. Johnny Bravo first appeared in FusionFall during the Birthday Bash. He was then moved to Townsville Center, where he was part of the 2010 Valentine's Day quest arc.

He was removed after the event.

Mother of all Blowfish

Johnny Bravo was seen again, still in Townsville Center, for the Mother's Day event in 2010.

Nano Development

Johnny had a Nano of himself made for the first update after the Academy was added. Though he shows little interest in the Nano project, DexLabs Lab Assistants were able extract some DNA and create a Nano based on Johnny.

Music Monday with Panman14

Welcome to Music Mondays! Today, composer Panman14 talks about what went into crafting a brand new music track!

Nothing gets me going like a good sounding Tenor Saxophone! For this Music Monday, I’m coming at you with Jackie’s Song. (You may remember this from the FusionFall Lore video on Boomer and Jackie Khones by Przzy, as well as from the Zoo Crew Devblog.)
Jackie’s Song is a slow variation of a song from the Foster's episode, "Jackie Khones and the Case of the Overdue Library Crook".

It was designed to fit one of the primary Nano missions, as the player wanders around an instanced version of the Townsville Zoo looking for clues. Of course, this doesn’t really fit the normal style of FusionFall, so I didn’t want to release it. However, I was promised two sandwiches daily (plus chips of course).

Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends has lots of fun, quirky music. Something tells me I’ll have to try hard with Summerland! For now…

You can take a listen to the new song here!

If players have too many items in their packs, they can always store some of them in a Morbucks Savings and Loan bank vault! Everyone has one, and It’s one of the great benefits of being a hero! To use the Bank, players have to find a Banker to get to their vaults.

Locations

Peach Creek Commons (The Suburbs)

Townsville Center (Downtown)

Mount Blackhead (The Wilds)

Bankers

The Morbucks Savings and Loans have several headquarters in the world. Once players locate a banker, they should talk to the banker and select the bank icon. The bank window will pop up. The player must click on the items to be moved between the bank vault and the player's pack. This will open an item screen that lets the player switch between the bank and the pack. Players can also click and drag items between their particular vault and pack.

As of 5.19.10, the bank may now hold a maximum capacity of 200 items.

Bankers can only be found once the player returns to the past. During adventures in the future, players will have to carry all their own items during the first part of their adventures.

Monkey Skyway Agents are a form of transportation that flies players to various stops throughout the world for a fee. The Monkey Skyway system was created by Mojo Jojo and operations are carried out by his Monkey Minions equipped with jetpacks.

The fees are generally cheaper than that of the KND S.C.A.M.P.E.R. This system is slower than the S.C.A.M.P.E.R., inasmuch as Monkey Skyway Agents give a visual view of the path. It is currently the most commonly found type of Transport Hub. The largest Transport Hubs of this type are at Peach Creek Commons, City Station, and Mount Blackhead.

The Skyway is designed for shorter hops between neighborhoods within a region. There are a number of Monkey Skyway stations in each region, but they do not connect across regional boundaries. An exception is the crossing between Foster's Home and Camp Kidney. They are in the beginning of the Fusionfall manga comic with Mojo Jojo.

What is the Slider?

The Slider, also called the Bus and Downtown Bus, is a transportation service provided by DexLabs that loops along The Suburbs and Downtown. One end is located in Peach Creek Estates and the other in Marquee Row, with smaller stops along the route. On the map, the busway can be identified as two thick, scarlet lines that run parallel to each other. It is very long.

Slider Stations

How do I get on the Slider?

Look out for neon signs in the air emblazoned with the word Bus. Arrows will indicate the direction the Slider is traveling in. There will usually be a series of jump pads or moving platforms on either side of the busway. Use them to bring you up to the station.
The Slider comes around every minute. It will slow down briefly as it approaches the station, so hop on quickly using the jump pad on the station.

When will I know I reached my destination?

Easy, just look at the bottom of your compass and it will say where you are.
You can alight anytime by moving off the Slider, but you will not be able to board it again and you may land into a potentially dangerous area.

Is it free?

Yes, it is free! Aside from walking on foot and certain Nano abilities, it is the only free method of rapid travel, although it only runs through The Suburbs and Downtown.

So i asked him a few questions on his thread, which you can check by clicking right here, and he responded! :D


How did you made it? What Program did you use? What are the best ways to use it? Why did you make it?

His answer:

"You're welcome. It's a Java program written by me I imagined someone would need a "worst case scenario calculator" as to how many CRATEs they need for a certain item, for items that the person has an approximation of odds. For example, you could guess that your favourite item at least has 6% chance of coming out of a Gold CRATE. But odds really don't mean anything, what you need to know is how many CRATEs other people needed, for the same item. And this program gives you an average.

Eventually, someone could create a CRATE result counting system where people would enter their CRATE results, and this would eventually give you a good approximation of probability for all items in FusionFall. Then my program would tell them how many CRATEs they need to get, before they can be frustrated at their luck, with good accuracy "

Im so happy he responded :)

Hopefully he gets more programs and guides for everyone to enjoy. Good Luck dude ;)

Remember Finn_Hornhoover? The person who made the CRATE Averages program? Well before that he made this! A statistical analisis on how many CRATES are needed from Don Doom and Bad Max to get any desired item from these baddies. Here the thread!

Welcome to the (possibly) first statistical finds thread of FusionFall!

In this thread you'll find out how many CRATEs you need on average to reach your dream collection of Don Doom and Bad Max items!

A couple days ago I posted a thread listing all the Don Doom and Bad Max drops. You can find that here!

I wrote a C program to calculate an average "number of CRATEs that need to be opened to get everything in a wishlist". The number depends on:

How many of these items you need (labeled "Both"): {Super Slayer Shirt, Super Slayer Pants, Super Slayer Boots, Super Slayer Slasher}

How many of these items you need (labeled "Don Doom"): {Don Doom Chemgun, Don Doom Shirt, Don Doom Pants, Don Doom Boots, Don Doom Scouter, Master Spiral Spreader, Master Toxic Mask}

How many of these items you need (labeled "Bad Max"): {Bad Max Concussor, Bad Max Helmet, Bad Max Jacket, Bad Max Pants, Bad Max Boots, Master Screwdriver Blade, Master Hammerhead Hat}

If you don't want to check this manually, check it with this program:
DropBox Link
Updated: 12th of June, 2016

If you want to continue checking manually, add those numbers seperately.

For example, let's say I want Super Slayer Shirt, Super Slayer Pants, Super Slayer Boots, Bad Max Concussor and Don Doom Scouter.

If I add those up, I get:
3 items from the "Both" category,
1 item from the "Don Doom" category, and
1 item from the "Bad Max" category.

Now check out how many CRATEs you need to open on average, to get all those items below.

For our example, the average number of CRATEs that I need to open is 30.09.

Now for your list:

You don't have to read below if you're not interested in how I got to these results!

Assumptions:
1-) The drop list I posted is %100 accurate (Which it may not be).
2-) Each item has an equal chance of being dropped from their monster, which is 1/11 for both monsters.
3-) The player will keep grinding both monsters, until or if the player's wishlist only contains boss-specific items.
That is, they'll switch to killing one boss, if they got everything they want, except the non-shared drops that they want from that boss.

Conclusions:
1-) If you need only one item from the any category, you're in better shape than anyone else. Pretty much all categories have the same expected CRATE number of ~11.
2-) About 58 CRATEs are all you need to get all Don Doom & Bad Max drops, on average.
3-) There's little to no difference between a person who wants all the Doom & Max items and a person who wants all the Doom & Max items except Super Slayer Set. By the time you get all the other items, you will probably have the Super Slayer Set anyway.

So, there you have it. I'd love to share the technical details of this little experiment, but it exceeds the maximum post size if I do that. I might make another thread (or maybe just post it here) if requested, that includes technical details.

P.S. I had nothing better to do, and it was a fun little coding excercise. I'm not a pro at it lol

Well then...
This is a neat program which lets you calculate lots of porcentages about the CRATES in FF. Its quite helpful!

"This program tells you how many C.R.A.T.E.s of a certain type you need, on average; given that you know or you can guess the probability of that item coming out of a certain C.R.A.T.E. type."

Usage

In the first 4 slots, write the odds of you, getting that item from the specified C.R.A.T.E. type. You don't have to fill everything.
100% means a certainty, while a 0.000...% chance means impossibility.
Make sure you use dots "." instead of commas "," when entering the fractional part of the probability.
The program ignores the fractional part beyond 3 digits after the decimal point. Keep that in mind as you're using the program.
Hit "Calculate!" when you're ready, and to clear everything press "Clear".
