Glad to hear it @Sean-Terry01, it's the most ambitious project I've done yet but I hope it pays off, It's gonna be like a text based version of Fallout mixed with dwarf fortress mixed with mount and blade with a few other games thrown in there for good measure, I've played lots of good and bad games in my time and hope that what I've absorbed from games and modding will pay off if it hasn't already

Yes, I'm really looking forward to Towns because it'll add the Dwarf Fortress elements. It'll be like Dwarf Fortress adventure mode. I wish Dwarf Fortress was made in this kind of interface because then we'd be able to play it. DF is actually text based, just inaccessible to screen readers because of the Ascii map and user interface.

Will we be able to dig down into the bowels of the earth until we hit hell, and the associated near-immortal demons with it that would turn all regions into titan regions! Also, what about ships, and island exploring? Maybe, mutations that aren't immediately evident as to their affects (one that makes you undead when you die, so in affect you have a second chance at the game, but you can't gain any more mutations when you're undead), or heal yourself by eating stuff) or a mutation that negates the next mutation, regardless of whether or not it's benefitial, etc. also, can we have an extra limb (tentacle) mutation!

@Soulkeeper,  I thought there was an extra leg mutation already? not to  mention the lizard tale/dragon tale.
then again, tentacles would be cool, you could wrap your enemy up in them  so they couldn't attack you, and all the best games have tentacles .

I don't think Hell would fit with the theme of the wastes, sinse I always got the idea that Thewastes was more post appocalypse, albiet a very, whacky appocalypse, but one with an explanation not involving the powers of darkness, ie, more far out science fiction than streight up fantasy in theme.

What would be cool however and similarly nasty would be some sort of uba top secret government facility. We've seen the labs and military bases but where is the one that started it all?
Getting some of the backstory, whether the wastes was caused by a war or a neuclear accident, or colliding with a comett, or a virus or whatever. Indeed for amusement value, and explaning why literally the hole of nature had gone random and weerd, maybe there are several causes, and perhaps some contradictory accounts of why, eg, some people think the neuclear reactor safeties shut down before the virus outbreak, others blaime the flood of chemical waste dumped into the sea at the same time a coorporation was secretly trying to seed the rain clouds with mind altering drugs to keep the population passive.

Actually as we already have books, this could be  rather fun, particularly if said evil government facility was full of uba monsters, mega weapons and super mutating vials.

Lol, I actually had heard of that in Df, a friend of mine who's a big df fan had mentioned it, though he didn't tell me you could literally colonize hell.

you go to object review and use nvda up and down arrows

I tried it but it doesn't work. I go to object review mode but it just navigates around objects and I can only see the scrolling options there. can you give me a detailed explanation please?

Thanks for all the great feedback and support guys!

@Dark as for Karma I see where you're coming from but I hated it in fallout, the idea was stealing something even if no one saw you gave you bad karma that people reacted to, so even if no one ever saw you steal stuff you would eventually become hated by everyone good in the world which makes no sense to me, instead in the wastes the player will have a reputation with guilds/factions/people and towns, you kill a group of people from a faction but one gets away, that faction will hate you, you beat up or steal from someone in a town and get caught, the town and the victim will dislike you, you badmouth a guild... you guessed it, they'll hate you, the same goes the other way around though and good rep will also work, however you move on to a new area and it's a clean slate, you could go town to town switching from being heroic to evil and no one would know, only you, because that's how it works in a world with no widescale communication.

I also like the idea of propaganda,  it would be a good way to rule over a town but I would likely code it so that people with a high inteliegence would be reistant to your propaganda, perhaps then the player could look at eliminating the smart people or removing schools and education like a lot of modern day governments are haha.

@Soulkeeper, great imagination, I do plan to massively expand mutations but I want to wait until more things are complete and build the mutations around them, as for island exploring that is a possiblility, across some irradiated ocean rife with rafting survivors / mutant pirates and titan sea beasts, would make for an interesting region! you could either find an island (jungle like, paradise) and anomaly such as a whirlpool or mainland that would offer you the chance to return to the normal game world regions (definitely going in the plans)

@Dark, Dungeons are so few in number at the moment, I plan to expand the types and differences of dungeons way more in the future, you may have noticed among recent builds new rooms being added to bunkers, for example kitchens, armories, treasuries ect, well I plan on expanding dungeons way more as time goes on to make them all different in their own ways, perhaps in mines you can mine, dungeons may be held by a faction or cult, perhaps the lab is owned by a friendly scientist who will test mutations on you and cure you of stuff, I also plan in the future to add factory dungeons that will manufacture a random product with scrap, (bobby pin factory) (baseball bat factory) ect

As for the reason for the apocalypse this has crossed my mind, robot uprising, cyborg uprising, global warming, nuclear war, nuclear desolation

Something I am considering is that each time you start a new game much like how vials are randomised each game, so will the reason the world ended, this may be a bit far of a theory but it will make the games vary a bit more, it's a concept I am willing to try out but if I doesn't work well with the game I'll scrap it but for example, a cyborg uprising will mean the world was destroyed by cyborgs but you might find cyborg cities, cyborg labs and militias fighting cyborgs, no mutant creatures just all cyborgs ect, as for global warming it will all be deserts and badlands and there wont be any mutants and so on, giving you a different game each time! (can't guarentee it will be in the game due to the amount of things each one will have to change but maybe in the far future)

@Soulkeeper, wow I never knew that but that's hillarious! can't imagine you can colonize hell for long though

@Connor142, sorry connor but I have no interest in removing moddability of the game, it took a lot of work to get it in, If you don't like the idea of modding the inventory don't do it, I've used it a few times in the past for dev related testing but never for a legit game, though some do and that's fine, its a personal preference thing but I want the players to be able to play how they want and do what they want

Love this game now if there was only a text based minecraft that would be good.

well wastelander thanks for not changing the modifying  hings of the game. Conor  i can tell you that even thought my weapon is at 100000 dammage i got lucky to get to level 125 because you have to have allot of health to beat those bigger monsters that has allot of dammage. the reason i say that is if you mis a hit on one of those bigger monstersthey will kill you big time lol. i have even lost on level 9 having a weapon so powerful. so i think that the game is that much more challenging. keep up the good work  wastelander i love the game. looking for the next update.

I agree with Catfish on this one, keep the modding.
That being said, I did rather like the idea of starter kits for the game such as starting with slightly better gear or slightly worse, or modding yourself a starter weapon, which could be noted in the graveyard file, indeed it'd be nice if the graveyard file could note the starting weapon as well as the one you died with just for comparrison, eg "insert player name entered the wastes wielding a (insert name of starter weapon), and when they died they were swinging around a (insert name of weapon they died with)"

That way it would also be possible for players to track their progress and for others to see if they'd used a mod or one of the starter weapons, and how, sinse a graveyard file which shows someone who started with no weapon or with a bent spoon doing 2 damage would be viewed differently to someone who started with the almighty boomstick of blagging doing six million damage with six million durability.

I will also confess myself, I'm not a fan of modding myself an uba weapon for the same reason I stopped grind mining, sinse I just like seeing what weapon comes up and how lucky I get and find that the game is less interesting without that aspect, ---- but hay that's me, and if someone ones to start with the ultimate sword of power fare enough to them, it's not as if there is a competitive scoreboard or anything.

@Dark, I understand that but in the 17th century there were newspapers and country wide unity that allowed for mass communication, not some disjointed land where every few miles across is a new world.

There would be reputations for people, factions, towns but generally speaking you'd be a mysterious stranger everywhere you went as would make sense, I do see your point about the random ascpect being removed but I do plan to add robots and cyborgs evnetually

Never heard of Dinner at Deviants place but now I kind of want to check it out, it looks awesome

@hhurstseth405, glad you like it!

@catfish1953, No problem, the way I see it the game is to be played how you want to play it, weather you want to roleplay as some op beast or start weak and puny, or carry on your inventory from your previous play ect! and even with the biggest weapon and the best stats the game will still chew you up!

@Dark, I do plan on adding an alternate start to the game where you choose your past to give you a start point, be it in a town, as a slave, as a merc ect, as for the weapon thing it would be an issue because the player never starts with an item equipped, he can put as many as he wants in his modded inventory but the game has no way to track that as there could be tons of weapons, it wouldn't work, whereas it can track what the player had equipped when he died because he had it equipped

I agree, aside from little bit of testing way back when, I barely use cheat like things, I have a few menu codes that give you ridiculous loot ect but that was to test misc item generation

as you say, no scoreboard or anything so it doesn't matter

@Xoren, freedom of play and the vast and growing amount of options is what makes the game fun! the more you can do the more replayability it has! thanks for the comment
