PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

[Cazmyr]

this game meant to be first person, it doesnt need third person view, it breaks immersion of the game.

That is why an option would be great.

If you want to play 1st play 1st. If you want to play in 3rd play in 3rd.

I also don't have a Twitter or Facebook account so I only get my update info from this thread. If he doesn't want to have to deal with the nay sayers (and it's a shame that he had to) he can just quickly log in, post the update info and log out. No muss no fuss. It is a pity to not be able to log in in peace on your own forum.

 

[meganoth]

Yeah. Why would one bother about giving updates in the development blog? That would be so unorthodox. Maybe there should be more forum-guards! You know. Those who filter out anything which isn't straight up praise, so that the developers aren't exposed to that sort of heresy?

This blog was never a pure blog. Otherwise the appointed forum-guards, especially Roland, would have to delete everything except developer comments and maybe posts that directly refer to those comments. Surely not what you want, is it?

From time to time developers actually post here, but the frequency of their posting or of MMs videos is neither set somewhere nor some customary right we have. You posit yourself as a rebel when you critique that frequency, but by having no right to it you and everyone else is just a petitioner. A petitioner to my knowledge has to ask nicely or shouldn't be surprised at not getting what he wants. Making a ♥♥♥♥storm because you are not getting what you have no right for is more like an extortion attempt. I see no heroic deed in that.

If people should succeed by constant nagging to make MM eventually give out another video, this is analoguous to a child you placate because it cries for 20 minutes, not because that child is right. Meanwhile other people are nerved or even cringe at all the nagging posts.

I never heard you giving a rational argument why TFP is bound to give out information at a frequency that satisfies you. Did I miss that? :smile-new:

The idea was to avoid using colliders due to their cost.

A collider is simply a bounding box linked to the physics, you're exchanging one system for exactly the same one but with extra work unless you're ignoring the built-in unity physics altogether. The only time you'd save a significant amount of system resources is if there are a lot of them and you've micro-optimized your system which is again extra work. The idea of using planes instead of boxes is an interesting one but that would be a different system entirely.

You might save some system resources by implementing a simpler and cruder physics engine but that's a separate idea from colliders. The two are often used together but by no means is one required by the other.

Hello 7 days to die team could you please place this on game ?

Since there are mods to choose the profession on mods, could you please place that on vanila game ?

In my spite of view I hope the team of 7 days to die input on the game:

Also I am waiting the underground with sewers to explore, aligators zombies to kill and on the street have iron circles to enter on sewers entrance beneath the city.

Insects like spiders, bees and bugs radiated too

Every city will have the new sewer system.

The sinked ship and lost containers to explore underwater missions on rivers

Oxigen tanks, swiming suit and the exact lantern ( see link beneath 1:35 the lamp showed on video ) that has the lantern above the tiny drawer or mini desk.

The buggy ( BLACK or GREY WITH METAL PIPES )

The upgradable armoured buggy ( because the first image the chassi, skeleton or body will be very exposed and weak too and easy to head shot player who drives it)

The machine gun attached on the roof of the buggy

Buggy for two players ( one who drives, and one on the back )

The pickup truck Painted RED, BLUE or WHITE

The mini van ( similar to the A-team) painted WHITE for the maximum 4 players ( also attached with door at side that slides too )

Motocross Motorcicle for two player ( Dirt bike ) - painted ORANGE or RED - and new colors will be possible to add ? ( new system colours - Red, orange, blue, yelow or green ? )

Minigun ( sistem similar of the auger ) (Heavy machine gun ) ( Terminator movie minigun )

Water colector ( collect water from the rain from the roof because at the end of the roof it will have the metal things at the end of the rood )

Pipe sistem to drain, colect water from river and to deliver to the base ( water problem fixes )

Underwater redesign like an biome with also water plants

Perhaps some squids, aligator zombies and then some more also piranha don't forget piranha it is important in some rivers

The 3 new camouflages: Zombies will be more smarter since the new option will be available, run at day and walk at night. Since crouching at this moment or hiding on a wall, or tree it is so limited. They will notice and atack player too.

One camouflage leafs or grass clay or dirt ( basic camouflage)

Second will be leather and something different

Third camouflage I don't know any special info at this moment ( perhaps it will adapt more every biome like the snow or desert biome

The Semy truck ( american semy truck ) to drive

The bus truck to drive

The caravan to drive

Ambulance to drive too

Fishing fish too

More new parts for the Motor system ( engine will be buildable if attached some parts )

Instead showing 7 days to die I hope the team place the alpha 17 playable urgent, since they at minimum confirm the camouflage sistem

Will the team of 7 days to die will use this lamp to explore underwater with scubba diving or diving suit with oxigen tanks ?

The yelow lamp because have a big and better light instead the regular ?

minute 1:35 - 35 second -

The lamp has bigger and brighter light to explore more easier all the sewers on every city and explored the big sinked ship underwater

Since it is ont a sinked sub so it will be a sinked ship with containers to explore

Wood elevator for one player

Metal or steel service elevator for 4 players inside to transport also to place vehicles to transport to the top of the roof ?

Also if they fix this:

Underwater biome

Explore underwater

underwater system with aligators, squids ( perhaps ) and piranhas

suba diving or diving suit - can fix also - radiation suit

oxigen tank to explore underwater - can fix also - Oxigen tank to explore some radiated zones

I was hoping a lots of faith to have the present from the team of 7 days to die to place the alpha 17, but I did not recieve or any player that kind of present .... I guess so....

In my spite of view all of this. Perhaps it will be possible ? I guess ?

Snipped for space

Was it really necessary to post this wall of text twice within 6 posts of each other? Especially since it is a lot of the same info?

Please give them a chance to respond to one before repeating yourself in another. If you have something more to add, say it in a new post without the repeat stuff.

 

[The Gronk]

<snipped because bloody hell that's a wall of text>

Repeat spamming the same post isn't going to win you any friends around here no matter how good your ideas are.

 

[Lonestarcanuck]

Can you please add support for Alexa/Cortana/Google Now to the home automation features? we already have motion sensors. so I want Geofencing and

"Alexa Activate turrets at 12 o'clock" or

"Alexa when will the forge run out of wood?" and

"Alex, let me know if there is a screamer coming to visit"

You are absolutely right that this blog/diary isnt a pure blog/diary (illustrated by the 1200+ pages of posts). Of course, I dont have problems with that (did I say that anywhere?). My observation was that MM does not seem to put new information about the development of the game on this blog. Which is odd, since it is, you know, the development blog/diary.

Your second paragraph seems to be about me asking/demanding more updates. I fail to see how that's related to what I was posting. The topic was that MM posted new info on a different platform (and only on that platform).

I never heard you arguing about the actual topic we were discussing. Did I miss that?

waiting

 

[Survager]

It is on my list. Not sure that will make A17.

Not planned as far as I know.

faatal, thanks for answer. Second moment about face ayimation, will be this planned in future? Bear have face animation, wolfes have face animations, so zombie also will must have face animation.

Not important eyes animation, but chops animation zombie must have. There may be drooling or black blood flowing from the mouth.

To everyone asking for more and more features, details, and optimization: knock it off. It's getting annoying. It's obvious that work is being done, but it'll get done at the devs' own pace, and it'll get released when they're happy with it.

Patience is a virtue. Hopefully people realize that more time spent sharing content means less time spent actually getting the development done, and quit asking for detailed info.

I think that asking is legit, demanding is not.. Also, in general the community discussing features can be positive for 2 reasons:

• people like me, who are really impatient to play the next alpha, have something to talk about and keep their mind busy
  
• the devs can see what the community is more interested in

I can do MY job without Geology but can you do YOURS without math....?

WAIT...The earth really IS only 6000 yrs old and ya'll just guess at those carbon dating timelines and half-life shenanigans. My pastor always warned me about pagan geologists. Secular humanists the lot of you!!

This is wrong. Life, the Universe and Everything was created last Thursday, so ya the world ends tomorrow.

At least it's on topic Though, there is a forum for most of this (Pimp Dreams) though I'm not sure how many people read it.

this game meant to be first person, it doesnt need third person view, it breaks immersion of the game.

I was a firm believer in this also, a first person purist lol. I hated 3rd person shooters like Gears of War and Fartnite. I never tried a survival game in 3rd person until Conan: Exiles and I have to say it's pretty damn nice. I now can't wait for 3rd person option in 7d2d as long as it's either/or and locked.

Actually the Universe was created last Thursday. Look up Last Thrusdayism, it can't be disproven. Basically it states everything was created last Thursday and all of your and the universes past is just memories implanted in your brain. :tinfoil3:

I alway wondered what percentage/promillage of the actual playerbase (community) is present here. I think the few here cant determine what "the community" is more interested in. Just saying

Cheers

-edit- or maybe you mean the users here that are convinced that what they want is wanted by 99% of all players. At least thats what they keep saying

 

[Xrt]

You're both wrong.

There never was a universe, and a life.

All virtual

 

[Sektor12]

Thank you Lonestarcanuk for your repply and info.

I hope they input 90% of stuff I said above.

I imagine the headache to build sewer from scratch and draw water biomes such as Build engine and attach engine parts for a better performance and so....
