I really feel like the genre hasn't made any good movement since Starbound and that there is a gap in the market for something like this.

Is there currently any way to put some cash toward the effort? I was bummed to see that pre-orders were currently closed.

Had a superjanky glitch where I handaxe chopped a beast while it killed me, it locked up the audio, and nothing worked, I had to exit and restart for it to recognize that I died and it did the reset thing. The jump is only what, two blocks high, but with a quick about face while running(all within one square of ground mind you), I've managed to latch onto ledges 3 or 4 high. Super useful when moving about by myself, but  NPCs just can't fathom my obscene vertical skills.I glitched into a permanent endless falling animation lock when I guess I simultaneously did some combination of the ground slide, the ledge grab, and/or a drop through a platform. Had to break the platform I landed on to unstick myself, but it wasn't completely broke. A thing I would like: A constructed object which I can put a dead thing--like a bird--inside, that will attract a beast so I can get more meat. Bonus if it has a chance to attract an obscene number of beasts that will absolutely ruin a player's day. Another thing I would like to see: Not having creatures spawn almost in front of me, which is not nice when they're a predator(?) or a beast(!) as I suspect those will generally make for a bad day if they suddenly appear on your location. Offsetting spawns of critters to "just outside" or near enough the screen edge that they don't get the jump on a player would be good. If there's increased vision planned anywhere, that might be a factor as well. Played a retro game recently and shots don't work when things aren't on screen because the game was very "not there, don't care"; if NPCs can see past screens edges and shoot things far away, that would make sniping a worthwhile task for them.

hbag posted:this looks dope I'm designing this game so that everythings scalable. An advantage to that is it gets the game in everyones hands faster and it allows us to expand on features later, a disadvantage is that to start out things will feel pretty bare bones. Currently the health system sort of resembles a fighting games, to be put simply. When you take damage, a certain proportion is recoverable passively (the rate of which is aided by your hunger level), while other items actively recover health and/or restore the amount that can be recovered. Currently theres bleeding and hypothermia, but theyre dummied out until we can get the proper UI and visual tells in so the player knows whats happening. We don't want to go down the Project Zomboid path of having the only sign your guys literally starving/freezing to death being a tiny icon you can barely see. It should be overwhelmingly obvious and we don't have the UI right now. Next would be surgeries and limbs. That allows for things like cyborg legs (or peg legs!) or even losing limbs if you take a lot of damage. Ultimately the goal would be to have something like RimWorlds (though nothing insane like DF). Right now its just too much work but everythings laid out so that if we want to work on adding it later, it can go on top of what's already there rather than having to redo everything from scratch.

SS13 is an inspiration but Ill be honest, the last time I played it in earnest was around 2009, so its probably changed a lot from what I barely remember. In any case I would really appreciate hearing any features from that you'd like to see.

I found some Granna. At first they seemed to be weird looking herbivores, but then one of them blew itself up? Now that I look closer they're more like naked humanoids with green beards. Anyway, just wanted to mention that the NPC's don't do well navigating underground. Or going down.

Got a chance to try it today! Early gameplay seems pretty good right now, only thing I noticed are that the enemies seem to be incredibly tanky. I did have to leave the game running for a bit when I went out so I don’t know if that had anything to do with it, but they just absorb bullets. May just be a progression thing where I didn’t upgrade my guns but still.

The math behind it is kind of annoying too, so it's not the most simple thing to adjust. Annoying for me, a mathematical idiot.

yeah here's how guns went: I looked at some of the existing guns > I made art and an excel document for a bunch of new ones > Crystan threw as many as he could in as quickly as he could > that's it the animations for them are coming along nicely but they're going to be all over the place, balance-wise, for a while lol

The giant M60 looks silly. Silly good. Is the world infinite on both axis? I've been digging quite a bit and found some caves with glowing fungus and some... bunny stones? These bunnies seem real sinister all of a sudden.

I can moonwalk up staircases backwards like in Super Castlevania IV so I'm happy, SOLD Although the ability to do it without holding a weapon in my hands would be even better!

This is a bit tough and/or I am not very smart. Is there like a rough tutorial to kind of get you on your feet? I'm good on the basic basics but I'm feeling pretty dumb on the medium basics like I don't know how to feed my guys or assign beds which becomes a rapid issue.
