    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    MM, I am so _!STOKED!_ to try it out! My S.O. is going to lose me for a few days when you guys release it. Can't wait to try out all the new features, items, quests, random stat weapon loot, and rack up some new and interesting deaths!

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    MM and Pimps, Looking forward to the changes and features you guys are talking about. For me personally, perks (and their opposite - flaws) don't quite scratch my zombie N/B/C apocalypse itch the way other skill advancement mechanics do that shall not be named (but the initials are Larry Bites...

    PC Game feels like its punishing me for levelling up

    1. Gives an in-game method to reduce your gamestage IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO. More player choice is _usually_ better. For players running into a glowing green army in every POI, this can be helpful. 2. If there's a quest to reduce gamestage, then it becomes easier to add a quest to _increase_...

    PC Game feels like its punishing me for levelling up

    What about adding a Trader quest that reduces gamestage by some specific amount, say, 30? Something along the lines of, "I need you set this here bait at this POI. But be careful. As soon as it's exposed to the air it will draw in deaders for miles around." When you set it, it triggers a...

    PC A17.0 Stable - AAR (After Action Report)

    I think this is where I'm going to call it for this AAR. I get the impression that TFP are going to release a patch, and I'd like to get back to my usual playstyle. It's been a lot of fun going through this (and telling a story in-character). And I hope you've enjoyed reading about my successes...

    PC A17.0 Stable - AAR (After Action Report)

    This week I accomplished a lot! A cement mixer was born. Proof once again that if you hit something enough with a big enough hammer, it'll start working. What started life as a decrepit, rusted dishwasher is now a brand spanking new cement mixer! Admittedly, you have to turn a crank to get it...

    PC Smart vs Dumb Zombies?

    I can't pick either because I like for the Z's to have variant behaviors. Meaning that some Z's are "smarter" or have more functioning basic hunting instincts than others. Ideally, all Z's would have a variety of behaviors they could engage in, with certain types of Z's "weighted" towards one or...

    PC A17.0 Stable - AAR (After Action Report)

    Ugh. Last week was bad. The Z's definitely won a couple of rounds. All those stories about me undoing my belt buckle and mooning the undead to death are COMPLETELY false! Those bite scars on the left cheek were edited in, I swear! The rumor about almost drowning in the water pumping station...

    @myrkana: Thanks for that tip! IIRC, that's using the console command for debug mode (aka dev mode) -dm- to enable the creative menu (cm), which the U key is the shortcut for. I appreciate it tho, so keep the advice coming!

    PC A17.0 Stable - AAR (After Action Report)

    Day 15 - 21: The smell from my own sweat and blood is drawing in more and more Z's. Plus, when one of them sights food, they somehow all start moving towards that food. I better start shoring up the defenses on my new home base. Now I'm alternating days gathering materials and trying to find...

    PC A17.0 Stable - AAR (After Action Report)

    Days 8-14: So, ye olde pattern of breaking into dead people's homes, killing them (again), and taking their stuff. This is a lot easier now that I've got a bicycle. I just wish I could stitch together some leather saddlebags for it. What with the close proximity to the wastelands, Z-dogs are a...

    PC A17.0 Stable - AAR (After Action Report)

    Day 7 - Sanguine Moon Before the Fall, there was a book about how all us plebians should rest on the seventh day of the week. Must've been nice. So, I've got a crappy shotgun and some ammo. I've got a composite bow and a small collection of really good arrows, plus a large collection of really...

    PC A17 'stable' constant crashes - suggestions?

    I'll take a stab. My apologies if I'm telling you stuff you already know/have tried. Please try these, one at a time, and restart your game each time. 1. Make sure you are using the current version - 17.0 (B240) stable as of this writing. If you opted in for the experimental versions, then you...

    PC A17.0 Stable - AAR (After Action Report)

    Day 2-6: Let's just say that one of the White River traders WAS about where I remembered. He didn't have a radio (that he admitted to). And, greedy bastid that he is, couldn't spare any supplies for me unless I did some "work" for him. We eyed eachother when he said "Work." His eye had a...
