PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

[Warrior044]

Gentleman,

First i would like to ask you to calm down a bit. the comments here get quite toxic and i neither see a reason nor a benefit from it. so how about you make a quick break and make yourself a tea? it always help me to calm down for sure.

Next i would like to say is, that i dont know anything about programming, i cant even write a script XD. But i assume programming a video game is extremly much work. you need to go bug huntring, make each single part interact and fit each other. get the Graphic to look proper, the sounds to hit at the correct time and and and. I Know that the Fun Pimps are a rather small group. That they have 10new guys is good to hear but still there is a learning curve and their work need to fit the others,

Last but to Least: Rolands little game with the HP bar is as amusing as it is frustrating. i get that many many many many people are not happy with it, but threating is really unpolite you know?

Its a Game Gentleman, it is a extremly cool game we all look forward to but still we should not get mad about it too much. and well 1 year for an update is still better than EA's standart profile to trash out an unfinished game after 6 months taking a half year to fix bugs and then want to make it pay to win with loot boxes ... or sell 12 DLCs for one game and all together it feels like... a moderate game... nice but not too big

Im waiting for the go-cart to be in game that can drive thru 1 block high gaps

How about no bars at all.

Just information about updates and when there is deadline known put it there.

How about you all go to a bar and have a drink, come back and nothing will change till devs come back with locked and finished content. Having the bars is fun or anoying, but not bad, so live with it.

P.S we need a new topic for the next 100+ pages.

Like in left for dead 2`s Swamp Fever. When water is redesigned it could be easy to have that, with extra properties and textures of course.

I just woke up and it is a glorious day! Devs are working hard and pushing through their tasks. I noticed a couple of AI related tickets submitted by faatal so that is reassuring. We already know that Kinyajuu is getting weapons dialed in. Joel is working on something exciting that I'm sure he will want to talk about once he has it good enough to show (and not it is not a new texture or house decoration). Quests are coming along and the last time I spawned in a bandit it looked and moved a lot better than previously so it looks like they ARE applying the motion capture animations to the bandits along with the players.

I know all you doom and gloom folk will find a reason why none of this is exciting and will share over the course of several posts why you feel underwhelmed by it but for the rest of you I hope you see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The developers are working daily and making progress.

 

[Odetta]

Yes, thank you for that. :smile-new: \

Edit: I am liking this daily rap sheet post you did. If you could do this every day, it'd be awesome.

Even if you just told us that Madmole stubbed his toe on his office chair or Fattal called in because he was having a bad

hair day; we'd all appreciate it.

 

[Hezig]

and new zombies, water corpse style or something like that.

a new map or costum-maps from the playerbase would be awesome

after a year the current map gets... kinda boring.

Good that no one of us practises magic. We could hypnotize Roland to bring us what we want from the dev`s kitchen at anytime )

Thank you for the intel Roland!

The foundation changes that allow for event triggers, extension and mutation of objects, content driven quests, improved physics, better block handling, etc. are "foundation" pieces that the Pimps need to be able to build all of the "cool" stuff you guys are begging for. These changes aren't "for modders" they are for the Pimps and happen to benefit the modders by natural extension giving the game content and flow more flexibility and possibilities.

I am incredibly excited about the foundation changes because they remove the roadblocks that have kept the Pimps from adding in the things we have been clamoring for. They are finally working through their experimental ideas to get some solid systems in place. I can't wait to see what they build with it.

Thank you for the Status Update. its really good to read some details, instead of vague Hints and Clues.

Maybe give us one of those Reports every few weeks if it fits your shedule.

I like those infos very much, and for sure more as constantly get trolled from you or gazz for every serious content related question =P

Excellent......

i am excited about what they planned for "water"

i know its one of the hardest things to pull off right in a voxel game....

i haven't seen one yet that did it good.....

but i have seen some of the "particle" water animations around the interwebs

But not sure which one pulls better performance.....

i think Farcry had some of the best water i ever seen..maybe there was more but thats the one i remeber the most

TY Roland for the run down, Appreciate it!

My 5 year old nephew asked why there is no toilets to produse poopie since we have so much farming and eating involved in the game. The dude even said it could be used to make fertilezer and either sell it or use it. I added poopcannon and he went off the room.

He said yes to the poopcannon.

I mean .. this game is not gonna be called 'the one that you can poop at and make flowers' , but what if ?
