A bunch of people taking stuff to a stockpile politely stood in a queue while a fishman pummeled them to death. The soldier who eventually shot the fishman to death celebrated by eating an entire raw dodo over the pile of bodies. Working As Intended.

What unspeakable horrors could be worth such silence!Aaanyways, I'm eagerly awaiting opinions on just how things are currently. I'm really on the fence of diving in now or waiting until the official Steam EA. $30 is just high enough to give me pause plus I worry it'd be something where I'd play a bunch early on, get burned out and possibly never play it again despite being unfinished.

What's your CPU and video card, and do you have the latest drivers posted? Also, did the game generate anything in your Documents\Gaslamp Games\Clockwork Empires folder - and, if so, can you mail it to us at contact@gaslampgames.com? Thanks!

OC-1117 If someone dies while gossiping, the other gossiper may end up waiting forever to continue the conversation with the dead person.  Any chance of the dead lingering in any way?

Just paid for this and got to the humble page to get my key, only for it to just say that it had been redeemed and will be available to download when ready. I've already raised a ticket with humble, just wondering if it's the same for anyone else.

Played for around an hour, this mining gather icon at the bottom of the screen stayed with me for the entire game and in the same spot regardless of camera movement. I also had 2 workshops trying to make planks but I had zero wood. I don't know if I was just doing things wrong, but when looking at the Jobs section it seemed to be flashing the planks order at the bottom and for some reason all other gather jobs wouldn't go until I canceled the planks orders. Things started rolling again after that.

The floating icons of doom is a known issue, thought it got ironed out but with all the fires lately it's hard to recall. e: I took the time to actually read your post and you'll want people to cut down trees. Click on the trees to get that job pushed, it'll select trees nearby for cutting so you don't need to do it tree-by-tree.

Overwined posted:Hey nvining, I found inspiration for your first DLC/Sequel: This reminds me of Centralia, Pennsylvania, though instead of the gaping maw to hell it's underground and barely noticeable, which is pretty spooky. There's been an underground mine fire there since 1962, and people lived in the town until the late 1970s when a kid almost died by falling into a pit over 100 feet deep that opened under his feet. Now the town has been mostly demolished and the roads leading to it have been blocked off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania edit: gently caress, beaten

"In 1979, locals became aware of the scale of the problem when a gas-station owner and then mayor, John Coddington, inserted a dipstick into one of his underground tanks to check the fuel level. When he withdrew it, it seemed hot, so he lowered a thermometer down on a string and was shocked to discover that the temperature of the gasoline in the tank was 172 °F (77.8 °C)." I'm pretty sure that "terrified" would be a better word for that situation

Nvining, do you have any intention of addressing UI scaling for high resolution screens? Perhaps a double-sized UI or a UI scale slider? The icon sizes are pretty good but the font is not easy to read at 2560x1600. Regardless of any future changes, the current UI scale is actually a big improvement over Dungeons of Dredmor (where I had to drop to 1280x800 or it was basically unplayable) so thank you for that!
