PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

#CouchGate
Im still waiting for the cellar/storm doors that swing outward so we can properly make basements and doors on our underground caves.

Distant shrubbery? But wouldn't that cover up the distant POIs we have come to love and appreciate?

I think it is more to cover up the bald hills and valleys. Its not even something they're sure can be done and keep a decent framerate so that one is definitely wait and see.

Are you absolutely positive it is not just a re-texture on a old couch? wasn't it green and more brown? I could almost swear it is. but then again I am very old and starting to lose my mind a bit more each day.

Doubting Thomas

these screens were from searching in creative for sofa... chair... and couch.

as you can see, there was none that had that texture or shape.

hmmm but no black version, either

 

[SurvivalUK]

Yes ? Me too bro, but I cant wait for the next 99% of the stuff that`s gonna be added furthermore this wallpaper. Impatient ? Hell yes

Yeah i know what you mean, they may retexture a sofa or something! Mind blown

Here are some official images from A17 that Madmole posted on his twitter feed. I'm reposting them here since they are A17 related and I will place a link in the OP so that people will see how this thread will work going forward:
Here is a new wallpaper that Joel created for A17.

As much as people are ridiculing the wallpaper, I keep looking at that image and wondering if there's something else hidden in it. The texture on the lower part of the wall to the left seems new as well, and rather interesting, and I can't say I recognize the POI, though I don't loot houses all that often to be honest. But I do wonder...

top left floor overhang too...

Personally I like this more as well. It might not be perfect but I see it as a "Slow and Steady" way to start things off.
Then as they begin to implement content and features we'll be able to (Hopefully) see as much as we did previously. Only this time we'll know that it's included in the update instead of it possibly being delayed due to unexpected issues. So it might take a bit longer, but hopefully it will pay off.

Also pretty curious to see how fast things move along with the new people they've hired. Hopefully it's not another Alpha 16 in terms of waiting lol.

it would be worth it if they got the ai and lagging issues taken care of. as well as all poi's either being in a crater or on a golf ball

[...] as well as all poi's either being in a crater or on a golf ball

Am I the only one thinking it actually got worse with that in a16? Seemed a lot smoother in a15, maybe because there weren't so many horribly STEEP slopes in the terrain.. ...#mountaingate? Ah better not another gate, forget I mentioned it. XD

Yeah maybe. I see at least two new textures and two new items and maybe new windows (green circles). Moreover the texture in the blue circle looks similar to 'tile floor 6' but the spots seem to be a bit darker.

Edit:

I think I was wrong. The windows aren't new.

Can we hope the two new items are copper and zinc???

You ever thought about hooking up with "microsoft" they seem to be very open to Getting Games to their Max potential...just a thought

HELL NO!!!!!!!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?? Don't get MS to F*&k things up. They can't do ANYTHING right.

Wishlist

1) New cave system - has random airpockets scattered underground, each with a coffin and a sleeper zombie (this zombie can dig and reacts to nearby sound and digs towards it), sleeper zombie scales with gamestage.

Copper and zinc... that s the recipe for brass ( i think ) . Brass is hard to find if you are using only guns.

A good idea is to recover the bullet casing, if we can scavenge them from trash why not recover from shooting?

Easiest thing they could do would be to make all the bullet casings be Steel(which is a real thing) and make brass used for electrical components as it a good conductor of electricity.

It would be simple recipe and color changes as opposed to adding in two new ores, forge UI update, allocating ore distribution in specific Biomes, recipes, negative impacts on bag space and steps needed to craft bullets, etc.

I like the new wallpaper! More wallpaper choices was on my list of new art I'd most like to see in the game. Now how about a sliding glass door, and a corner table, and a wall sconce that looks good indoors, and... :blah:

.... and a gaming PC! Surely there must have been some gamers in those houses.

 

[DaVegaNL]

Yay, a new wallpaper.

But seriously, I've posted about this wall-paper about two weeks ago, and MM didn't make a single post about that at all on the official forum? That's.. Worrying.

 

[Polkasa]

Hmmm, nice to hear about a new model and wallpaper that are implemented in 3 months. I hope there will be some more features in alpha 17 than only visual replace of textures and addition of one model

 

[chaosterone]

Haha. MM is probably just testing the waters with his wallpaper to see how much more he wants to show. So far I see a bit of grumbling, so I bet it will be three weeks before he shows anything else.

By the way MM, the wallpaper looks good. Can't wait for a video!
