PC Developer Discussions: Alpha 17

[Burakin]

No, the moral of the story is -
Expect most people to fail to read for comprehension, and/or employ critical thinking skills.

-A

uhm, yes, but

Doesn't that go in general, no story needed?

Maybe we should add...and then act accordingly at the end too

Im sure there is going to be 2000 posts before alpha 17 ships out :greedy_dollars:

You mean 2000 pages, it already cross 2000 post replies.

We are not waiting on Unity to fix bugs. I only know of 1 error we have with Unity (texture streaming message) which does not seem to effect builds working.
Most systems are still being finished and debugged. Like AI, pathing, ragdolls, vehicles, buffs, items, recipes, RWG, shaders, atlases, textures, world, UI, quests, music.

but at least you've decided on fonts and them is final! j/k

I've seen many of my friends drop off the radar with this game and move on since A16, and it's sad. Simple news updates to steam would literally reach 90 percent of the audience. Not everyone goes to forums for everything, I only frequent this one as it's my favorite game.

But is that because of PR or simply because they are done playing the game? Even the best games out there lose most of their players after a few days,weeks or months of play leaving a small core of "fanatics" behind (I don't even need to list any games as examples, just look into your own history of games you once played and thought you couldn't get enough of it)

If you would like to comapre games that came out around the same time, trying to do similar things in different environments, is ark, ark had a huge media presence, in a very very overdone category they are WAY more successful than 7 days. 7 days could be where Ark is now, it's literally the only good vox game out there aside from minecraft, it has no competition, where Ark has TONS

As if voxel or not would have any relevance to juveniles. Dinosaurs aka dragons in disguise is the ingredient that makes 16 year olds drool.

And 7d2d is zombie survival with a lot of competition, so much that zombie survival elicits "another one" comments from game reviewers like WWII shooters did ~15 years ago.

My thirst for A17 is going to be delayed by a day since Disenchantment is finally on Netflix. I will be bingeing. The only thing that can sway me is if A17 streamers start streaming tonight.

I don’t rickroll. My trolls are higher brow.

Hi,
Would you be willing to disclose how many hours you gave your money away for?

Roland told me I wasn't allowed to start posting until I sank two thousand hours into the game.

Surely he did the same for everyone else, as we all know your opinion isn't valid until you've completely rebuilt the entire Navezgane map underground.

Who are you sir? You look like some cheese bread guy I once knew... is that mold around the edges?

Compared to his earlier posting frequency he seems only willing to give us a few breadcrumbs now.

We may have to start calling you Ruthless Guppy.

please tell me that is indeed a Jagged Alliance reference!

[Burakin]

Not bad, but we want this one back :

Yeah that tune still catches me. It was the theme song when I joined the band wagon (at 8.4 I think).

I believe there was some issue with it resembling other (prior?) content - something called 28 days later (similar) and/or 'Suspense' by Monophobia Studios (exact). I can't remember the fine bits but DCMA was involved. I'd like to have it back, but maybe the new song they pretty much annouced is also gonna be great.

Dealing with life's ups and downs, I have found that ones Attitude is 95% of success in life.
This leads into the the backstory of the screamer:

One day a very positive young lady had to go to the dentist, just before the zombie virus was spread by the New World Order.

View attachment 24925

The dentist became infected first and he drilled a root canal, with no shot of Novocaine! The burnt smell was as terrible as the pain she felt.

As she turned into a zombie, she was sad:

Now, whenever she smells something burning, she hurries over there, hoping for that shot of Novocaine that never comes.

You can give her that shot of Novocaine...

There is the backstory of the Screamer. Another tortured soul that needs your help in A17... Like Roland and I are doing RIGHT NOW! RAT Patrol baby! Day 72!!!

I love it! This is a great screamer backstory!

landmines? they are not very intelligent creatures, but when I put mines in between myself and them, they will walk around instead of over.

They walk right through landmine blocks.

 

[RavenGT]

They walk right through landmine blocks.

Woohoo! Great news. Landmines are way too much fun.

 

[faatal]

FAATAL,
Is there a way to code it that if the zombies are taking damage from the front faces of a block ..they wont jump on top of them?? Injury stops them from jumping ???

They jump before they take damage, like they would jump up on any block, when the path goes over. Might be better if jump is disabled when destination is a spike, so they just walk through.

 

[Eihwaz]

hey,

i want to make a new news video about alpha 17 (core: rolands post about delay).

are there any other new important infos that I miss?

Ill check this post in 1-2h :strawberry:

They jump before they take damage, like they would jump up on any block, when the path goes over. Might be better if jump is disabled when destination is a spike, so they just walk through.

This would be very nice. Really annoying when they walk OVER the rows of spikes and then die where we can't get to them. (without chopping our way in, or using creative mode)
