How many of those SURGE guys are there? Around 70 of them died in the last level because of Ray alone, and they probably lost a bunch more to the Earthquake. Are there just countless thousands of them or something so they can take these losses?

It's not necessary, I think it's just to get some additional point bonuses at the end. But the thing is that it costs gun upgrade points (which we'll cover in the next update) to even do the shooting range....so if you do manage to suck at it, you'll just end up wasting points and then have to grind through combat sections again to get more gun points. And even if you do amazing at the junk shooting range you'll maybe only get 100 points in profit, so you can't really use it to farm for points. The only reason to do it is that it's a pre-requisite for certain weapons (which will also be covered next update) and thus you just have to power through it once....then never, ever do it again. Unless you're having to record it for the internet for some reason.

The bigger question is...are they following Ray or is it all just a constant, happy coincedence that they keep bumping into each other? (topical Mr. Show reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AISLBrQ-ODE)

Evening, patrolmaaan.
I think the reason why the car park and random buildings were on fire is because Blue Ridge City insists on storing fire in mailboxes, wooden crates, and other implausible storage containers which then broke open during the earthquake.

I'm starting to think that Ray is actually a superhero, considering the sheer amount of fire and explosions he's survived at this point. Maybe that's why he needs to eat so much.

Hmmm, are you talking about the subtitled bits during game play that seem to not have voice acting? Or are you just talking about in general? Cause I can definitely change that option in the future if that means everything will properly have voice acting.

Ah, that's what I was thinking; I can definitely turn that on in the future (though I've already got the next three updates done).

I'm fairly certain Blue Ridge is supposed to be SF, the epicentre of the quake was in the pacific northwest, but the city isn't exactly near that, which would make sense based on the fact that it was a 9 on the Richter scale.

If blue ridge is supposed to be SF, then they ought to know better. It's not like SF was 80% demolished from a 7.8 earthquake in its past or anything.

Yeah, 7.8 ruined 80% of the city. Though the epicenter was maybe a couple of miles off the peninsula where SF is. So Geop might have to say how well the force radiates from epicenter.

I thought the damage from the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake was due to their buildings not taking into account the effects of earthquakes, but rather being built as a structure on the east coast. I'd expect a modern city, if it is in a region that experiences regular earthquakes, to have building codes to heavily diminish the damage of earthquakes.

Geop
Oct 26, 2007

The epicenter is just where the quake occurred, relative to the surface. The more important factor in quakes and their strength comes from depth. The physical location where the earthquake occurred in the subsurface is the hypocenter (which is some vertical offset from the epicenter). Shallow-focus quakes (hypocenter is near the surface) tend to be more damaging due to the energy being nearer the surface. Deeper ones CAN be very damaging, but the depth and distance the energy travels can lead to it largely being dissipated over the area involved.

Magnitude and strength absolutely play the lion's share of how the damage will unravel in a populated area, but a lot of it also boils down to the construction methods/materials being used in local buildings.

And with this, I believe Geop has put more thought into the concept of earth quakes than the game developers ever did.

They did put some thought into it, but they also happened to make a city that was doused in gasoline, constructed of balsa wood, houses a nuclear armament disposal facility on a massive fault line, and has a crisis management center that hires gun toting psychopaths that talk to compasses. This is just how the Japanese picture America and how America solves it....the right way.

The weird thing is that I didn't even want to make a video of that stupid shooting range because I hate it so much and I suck so badly at it. I'm a bit sad that none of the other shooting ranges are that goofy or interesting (sans ummmmm one special one), so I'm not sure if I'll be showing any of them off.

But in good news, Panzer will be at PAX in a couple days showing off her and delicious bees' great game Roundabout and she's super excited about that, but that means she'd be unavailable for commentary which is a definite bummer.....or it would be if we didn't manage to record a few videos beforehand of stupid Disaster fun. So I was curious if you guys wanted a new update now or just wanted to wait till the weekend. Also this was to make sure that Panzer knows she's great and that I know they'll do amazing at PAX.
