Really happy that this game can be handled on a laptop that doesn't even begin to pretend it meets minimum specs. The dramatic periodic slo-mo helps me have some great aim during intense firefights!  Still thrilled to just be able to play the game instead of wondering about it and marveling at atrocities committed by a lunatic in a Tuk Tuk. I guess I really don't have much to say aside from this is a really great thread and whee I used to dream of games much like this when I played stuff like Battletech on the Genesis and wondered what super neato future technology would bring us in the sadly neglected blow the poo poo out of various cities and customize your mech genre. And I keep kind of laughing at the thought of mods for this game. I'd immediately start a life long quest to figure out how to represent every weird oddball vehicle in Ww2 and promptly go batshit insane.

I take back what I said about the game slowing down, I just had to turn off vsync and everything runs great. Yet again really happy with that, I was assuming this game would be a very pretty slide show on my laptop. It's nice to take a moment, and look at all the little chunky details of the path of destruction I've just made, or get a really good look at the armored buggies and little mechs/suits and the people manning them as they stand there idling blissfully unaware of what I just did a mile down the road. Just discovered the Chuffer. I never guessed giant acidic death clouds could be a relatively ninja way of mass destruction.

Brigador: Restomped. I'll try not to turn this into a huge gushing rant, if I could, I'd wish on a gypsy's monkey paw to have this game make poo poo-tons of money just so I could see more of it and it's graphics style. What are the models for the units? Are they voxels? Reeeally little polygon models? I keep wondering this because one of the reasons I keep playing this game are the moments that I stop, lean in close to this laptop's gruesome screen and admire the husk of a vehicle under a streetlight, or just the way my Fatshoe's lights illuminate something,....Or appreciate the small things, like the guy I'll always label as some unimpressed farmer standing under a streetlight next to his solitary farmhouse while the entire landscape around him for hundreds of meters has been turned into warcrime apocalypse simulator 2k. Had to say Fatshoe because I'd been using it quite a bit, I think purely because I like to imagine the truck cabin all scorched and shot up and covered in who knows what with Arturo Nemi in the driver's seat completely straight faced utterly swamped in beer cans. I like using it with a Banshee and wishing it could equip a Chuffer and long walks on the beach. Still hoping that imaginary gypsy's monkey's paw wish goes through and the random weirdness in the universe generates something fun, like the entirely of Spain falls in love with this game and buys four copies for all their grandmothers to enjoy.

Thanks for taking the time for that reply, really neat stuff, solved a mystery for me, and I got to see some early game stuff, awesome! Think I'm going to reread that post a few times and try to motivate myself into learning about the 3dsmax and pre-rendered sprites etc. I can't get enough of that detailed weird semi grubby sprite, sorta voxelish effect. Can't explain it but I hope that's taken as a high compliment. And I'd joke that I want that gif as an avatar sooner or later, but I think I'm too obsessed with the dramatic little scenes the lighting can make on destroyed hulks.

Curious- units don't freak out any try to run do they? I've seen to see Mogs try to swoop in, rip off a burst, and try to run away, like how the long roadster buggies do their swooping hit and run attacks, but I thought I've seen them rarely nope out of situations and try to (slowly, heh.) run away. I was just playing (alt tabbed so I don't forget what I wanted to say, and I get to listen to the mellow white noise city soundscape!) and there were two mogs rounding a corner of a building, I ripped one apart with a spray of fire, and the other one promptly turned around and started trying to put as much ground between me and them as possible. Is this intentional and some units have 'moral' of some sorts, or is it just something with pathing messing up every once in awhile? I smile at the idea of the Fatshoe I keep coming back to being some kind of lurking horror spoken about only in hushed voices around a burning trash barrel. I have zero clue why that seems to be my current favorite mech for doing that, but whatever works!

Yeah I guess it seems less like running away and more like a solitary weak unit trying to pair up with stronger units, I notice that more often than stuff that looks like a unit noticing they've made horrible life decisions and promptly reversing them. I didn't even think of the infantry with my example in my first post, I see solitary guys take a shot with the faker (I think? Equivalent?) and try to take off, maybe to get a better shot angle, maybe because they want to see their grandmother one last time,.. I almost feel bad for the infantry until I remember the times where there's that one guy with a laser rifle just baaaarely managing to avoid being stomped just plugging away at you while you deal with a massive swarm of Spacer everything.... And now I'm trying to remember if I've noticed infantry thrown in with Spacer guys and being annoyed that I keep calling them infantry and not their ingame name,....

Imagining what kind of weird poo poo the Corvids could scrape up, and their creative lack of respect for user safety, makes me smile when I think of the two (maybe three?) monument tanks in my town. One of them was ditched here by a National Guard unit because it was pretty much totally worn out. Great point to start building! Just fire up the blow torches!

I figured since I'd been closing in on (and completed today!) 60 hours played I'd attempt to get a little bit more serious and trying my hand at all the vehicles and getting familiar with even the weapons and rides I "Don't like.". Also trying to steadily become comfortable and then good at skill levels. I've apparently discovered that I am Death Incarnate with Scottie Graf in an Eightball with whatever weapons and AK pulse. -Until roughly four seconds after I get too confident and stop playing spazmoid hit and run murder hide and seek champion. I find the combo really amusing, and can't at all say why. I think it's because the Eightball is hilarious and great, and I feel like I'm missing a joke about it I should know. Is it Sputnik? Really big egg? Tune in later tonight as the Man from Volta tackles this and other important questions! Have to remember to crouch down and try out the "Instant bunker" effect the description mentions the next time I feel like putting on dev mode and abusing tab. (Kind of really like playing with tab to zoom, I promise myself and baby Jesus that I will only rarely abuse it to dunk massive long shots on fools and enjoy the extra bit of strategy and plotting it adds to the game. Also admiring the graphics and way things work, in a weird way.) Naganted fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Apr 21, 2017 |

Always felt bad I didn't kick in anything in the kickstarter or something like that. First heard about the game, got immensely excited, and then lots of life kicked in, and years later got immensely excited when I figured my laptop could run Brigador,...And haven't been let down since, even down to finding out this thread is super cool.

Shibawanko posted:I'd buy a sequel in a second. I'd love to see more elaborately destructible environments, like with craters or maybe multitile buildings that you can undermine or knock over so they fall on enemies, or fires breaking out. Also making the tank vehicles feel more like driving a car, having them drift a little or just feel a little bit more out of control. Same, and the thought of the chaos and (kinda hilarious, sorta-) destruction that went down in the book with the Corvid Tank Battalion with an engine that could represent a bit of that,..

1. Definitely hell yeah. 2. Yes, but within bounds. 3. Don't forget to accurately model left hand turning and pivot point. Was having a lot of fun on Inch of Dust with the Party Wagon yesterday, I think that's about the perfect bolting around being a bastard speed for me. Love how there's so many options in this game that everyone has their own preference for every style. Even saying that about the Party Wagon, I think about the Betushka or that damned Arlo etc and want to change that statement, heh. Still loving checking out the atmospheric (I guess?) changes in the beta, and I think it's great that I'm still not getting over the feeling I've always loved and talked about that I have with this game, just stopping and looking at all the little tiny details of a little area, destroyed or not. Gonna stop there before I go on and on. And I always wind up being fascinated by weird variants of vehicles, so I'd root for that. (Cracking up now thinking of imaginary dumb stuff like the rare and much maligned Heavy Riot Sparrow variant. ) Naganted fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Apr 20, 2018 |

"See you at the bottom of the cliff-!" *Sniff * I feel like I'm rocking scrub tier with my current vehicle infatuation. I love the Party Van and always will, but it's soft gooey interior inside that Heavy Metal Sorcerer Warlock exterior get me annihilated in a moment's mistake, so I moved up to it's beefier relative the Nickel with good overcharge and doesn't sacrifice too much speed,...Aaaand holy crap does dual Confessors and AKP make me feel like I'm some sort of weirdo punching over my weight. If you can more or less consistently hit your targets and manage to get a nice rhythm of pouring out shots it'll stop units in their tracks. Think I still enjoy scooting around way too much, which I am entirely fine with, though I think I'm becoming too much of an addict to the faster units, a common and usually fatal ailment.

Ok, where's the 1/35 scale one!? Kidding, and that is neat as hell. -Neat enough that I just bought one, looking forward to checking it out  And I just got reminded that when I was a little kid there was a quarter machine that would give you a little mech with mix and match pieces, different colors and everything, with I think a glow in the dark one as the super special rare type. kind of neat to think I must have a couple pieces of those things shoved away somewhere in a box I haven't touched for a few decades.

I kind of had a moment when it suddenly jumped into my mind that I have a bunch of little 1/100 Ww2 snap together vehicles/armor/etc kits that I got when I was going through a long winter of being bored as all hell. All sorts of random things, though it kind of stinks that since I'm so bleh about Panthers and Tigers I never got any of them, nor, I don't think any supply trucks of any type, Because of course my mind jumped to making a Nickel first. Rude. I'd really like to try to make a Sparrow, I think that would be a neat little thing to figure out from spare 1/35 parts and figures.

    Might be time to practice painting again. Looking forward to seeing what else gets made, I keep thinking the scale is really neat, having fun checking it out from time to time imagining different paint jobs on it,. Looking forward to what might exist in the future, more dynamic legs would be cool, and I think a Fatshoe cab would be great/hilarious but I think that's due to an early appreciation of the ponderous contraption.

Up to about skill level 10-11 I have eternal throbulating love for a Nickel with dual Confessors and AKP, if you keep your cool and your aim mostly reasonably decent you just kind of grind down crowds or small groups, and most units will lose their forward momentum under direct attention from the Confessors and just get chewed right up. The little shockwave is a nice plus too. The Nickel itself is almost as nice as the Party Van to zoom around in, with the extra armor and shields allowing you to live a bit longer when you eventually get too overconfident.
