Would the theoretical, perfect Duke's Casino be the final dungeon with The Duke himself? Or just a high-tier area?

it could be a POI that would be High risk but high reward (for cash)

there could be like traps and other stuff.

(maybe there there could be a award called the Duke press maybe)

(you cant craft it but with brass and clay you can make dukes but sometimes you have to repair it) (or there could be a dispenser for old cash it can give you dukes again you cant craft and has it limit per day. but there very rare and you cant craft it)

Ok, I suppose the foliage will be reduced when there are slopes. (more than before)Its a bit too "reduced" in RWG currently in mountainous locations.

The new RWG looks great btw. Stamps really rule in random world gen.

Yes this is the first version using the new framework, we will be able to improve it more towards gold.

 
mm could answer much better-- but I think the quality only changes the wear n tear. and mod slots. not damage or amounts harvested,,, so it shouldn't make that much of a game breaking change.

Stats are random, so a blue might be a POS but generally isn't. It generally keeps you in the orange and brown for a while, but there is always that lucky rare drop, but we might have to nerf it more.

 
I’ve gotten it exactly once. But now I hold my breath when I have to eat a sham sandwich...

Yeah Rick ate one last night and got lucky :) Its kind of fun wondering if you blow chunks or not tbh. Last night I couldn't find animals anywhere, not sure if Rick and Latan cleared them our or what, but it was fun scrounging for food, I spent all my money on ak ammo and canned foods.

 
@Joel
I saw you watched the Twitch-Stream by Grumbul where he use that post-processing app.

I can only image the dislike building up for you;)

It really looked awful when messing around with the colors / saturation.

The default looks way better.

It was too much, but I did see the potential so we actually adjusted our default more like what he was doing and its more vibrant than what we had (but not broken icons and hud like his). Todays version should be more vibrant if that update went out to them. I posted a screen here:

so its like Africa???. you have a higher chance to find guns weapons and Ammo then food lol.

I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!

 
Well how bad is the food poisoning you get? Is it merely annoying and you have to eat a couple more rations for a few minutes or is it THIS IS THE END OH FRIEND DEATH, TAKE ME TO PARADISE!!...and you might as well eat some glass to get it over with?

You lose all your chow down to the minimum stamina, whatever that is... 20 or 25% I think.

 
After you throw the spear it should appear on the map so you can track it down in case you miss your target and get turned around in a fight. I seen this happen to Games4kickz last night. He lost sight of his spear and it blended right into the forest biome, took him a few minutes to find it.

It sounds perfect like that. Why would it be easy to find the weapon I stupidly thrown in the middle of the night ?

Does look more vibrant.

But maybe a bit too much. Maybe using a setting halfway between the old and the new test setup.

I agree, it feels to be a little too vibrant. Maybe try lowering the saturation by about 10% or so? From what I can tell, a lot of tones feel slightly too warm, if you get what I mean.

 
There are still several POI (y-offset) hight placement bugs in RWG. Resuling in buldings be places too high or low.

One of them was a small church. I guess the level designerw edited the POI templates, and the hight was not updated yet for the RWG generator.

That doesnt sound bad at all. Seems really only risky when you are starting off and food is scarce. I hope some day in the future it scales from "losing all your current hunger meter" to "Montezuma's revenge" randomly when get the food poisoning, kinda like real life. Sometimes food poisoning is a bad day of blowing and going. Other times it can kill you.

thxs i was eating a snack. now i don't want too lol

 
No you'll have it by 6pm Monday I'd guess.

The real point is they will be getting it at the same time as everyone else regardless of the name of the day. They make it sound like we here in the West will be getting on THEIR Monday and then they have to wait another 12 hours for THEIR Tuesday to hit.

Everyone will be waiting an equal amount of time.

You might want to nerf it a bit more, yes...

I've been seeing a fair bit of this in the past few streams I've been watching from people. :p

Note: Quality 3 items appear to be showing up a lot in those Reinforced Chests

When I heard you talking about vomiting in the video I was thinking "man as if we don't have enough trouble keeping up with food as it is" but this is a survival game after all and I guess it can't be easy but man I'm certainly not looking forward to it but it is what it is I guess.

I know balancing is on going and things are always changing so we will see how this plays out.
