ReplyDeleteTesting the release l8r ...
testing,continue the great work man
ReplyDeleteHere's two ideas for an option related to food::
ReplyDeleteMap Food Expiry Dating: Game Start / Map Start / Canned (a terrible pun, i know) This determines the expiry date of food relative to the date you enter a map, or turns all food into canned food. If you enter a never-entered map on day 30, that map will have its initial food expiry as relative to day 30.
Starting Canned Food: On / Ration / Grocery / Off. Canned food exists, or is turned into rations or groceries, or simply doesn't exist on the map at the start at all. Thus decreasing your starting food count and increasing the challenge; perhaps totally if combined with the above that turns all food into canned food...
Will definitely post bugs as i come across them! Pushing zombies, very excellent.
This game is single handedly the best zombie survival sim in existance no one has created anything that could even hope to reach the quality this game has acheived. And with each new realese its getting better and better so if you havent played this masterpiece of a rougelike yet DOWNLOAD IT NOW!
ReplyDeleteW00t! :) On the DL now. Time to die horribly because I lack patience.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap that was fast!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you, RougeDJack.
Ordinarily, I don't ever bother to say a single word to the designer of a game like this that I end up playing. But I am now. Why? Because you are simply that awesome, and I need to state it.
ReplyDeleteAlthough their are still some problems and bugs, this is to be expected; it's an Alpha, after all, not even a Beta.
I thoroughly enjoy playing it, and would personally like to see an option like my fellow Anon stated; being able to control different aspects of the city beyond its size and population density.
Not just with food, either, but any usable objects/items. Basically a resource richness meter. Maybe ranges could be like barren (almost nothing), heavily looted, average, large shipments, bountiful harvest (more goodies than you could feasibly used).
Anyways. As I've said before, I usually don't bother to say a single thing about a game I've played. But this game was so awesome, I had to speak up; take that as you will, Jack.
Thanks for all the comments!
ReplyDeleteCool, looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work! Lot of stuff!
ReplyDeleteAI BUG FOUND:
ReplyDeleteIf the player has the leadership skill and has a cell phone, and gives the follower first a cell phone and second a command to gaurd a position, the Ai will not equip their cell phone when the player equips their own -- leaving the NPCs 'silent' to the player as long as they're in gaurd mode.
The same is also true in reverse. An ai that starts gaurd mode with their cell phone equiped will not unequip their cell phone when the player unequips their own -- wasting the batteries on the NPC's cell phone.
Thankfully the problem corrects itself when the NPCs leave guard mode and properly un/equip their cell phone.
Thanks for reporting, I'll fix that.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, let followers equip/unequip cellphones before giving orders.
Ps: there's a bug report page, please post bugs there.
"Ps: there's a bug report page, please post bugs there."
ReplyDeleteWill do!
I hope there will be an option in the future to kill other survivors. One guy snatched the only canned food I had seen in days and I promptly died with an inventory full of guns not but a few hours later.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you have it set so that when people starve they can turn, if you're shacked up with someone who's about to die, it might be easier to just off them before they start fighting back...
Yes you will be able to directly attack other survivors.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, use grenades :p
