Hello Guys,
I'm Wastelander (or Huw2k8 on reddit) and the developer of this game,
First off, I'd like to apologize for replying on this thread so late, I have been tremendously busy in the last week or so with my two jobs and have been banging out features on the game until 6am some nights.
I am going to be adding an Ascii removing option in the menu in the next version under a Accessability but I will need feedback on it to check everything works just fine, similarly there seems to be some problem with sound so under Accessability I will also add the ability to skip sounds without altering volume at all this should prevent any problems with system sounds.
In response to Gene, I'm sorry you've had such an aweful experience with mediafire and the game itself, Mediafire was the result of lots of complaints to where I had put it before (sourceforge) and mediafire seemed decent enough so I put it there, I get no ad revenue from it and to be honest wasn't even aware they did captcha and all the pop ups, though I think this may be because I have adblock (Which I would recommend) and perhaps that's why.
As to your issues with the game itself I can't help, I can however assure you 100% that whatever issues you had with your computer restarting several times must be on your end, there is no way my game could cause your computer to restart a load of times, that's not how it works.
I will try and run through the thread answering questions as they were asked
@keyIsFull looks like you found an alien weapon, those are very rare so congrats, lockpicking was buffed since then but it will be expanded even more with autolockpicking soon
@firefly82 At the moment there is no plan for towns to be returnable, but due to the nature of the way their files are saved it could be done, so I may consider it farther down the line when towns are sorted out properly, there will be tons of jobs like mining and there were even once lots of quests but it had to be removed while towns were being fixed, I am very interested in suggestions and impliment them often, and woo I love Germany (been to dortmund myself and it was amazing)
@dark in regards to crater beast description, I hadn't considered it, the problem is they could be anything, they are supposed to be the horrible mutant creatures left behind in the craters and as for the missing skills they are in the process of being added, intelligence was added not too long ago!
@dan_c I am updating daily so it's always worth checking, there are usually at least a few new features/encounter every day
@dark, once you start in an area you are in it until it is completely explored, I will in future be adding ways to prematurely exit a region though and as for the douche who attacked you on the thread, he is nothing to do with us and we removed the post because we don't appreciate that kind of behaviour! hopefully it didn't bother you too much
Saving is non-functional at the moment but will be added when more of the main game is functional
@dan_c as per a good suggestion I was offered I will try in future to layer town menus with (0] NEXT so you can skip through pages of buidlings
@firefly82 that's actually not a bad idea, perhaps so that towns are aware of eachother in the same region, to do this I could save town files in a region folder, they could trade/fight or even be ruled by the same factions (great suggestion)
@Dark the future of towns is very bright once I can fix the issues with them, things like shops with closing times, taverns and seedy mercenaries, quests, buyable everything, factions owning different parts of town, tons of random events, massive trade, ability to rob any house, warehouse as well as the addition of... Sewers/arenas/casinos/warehouses/subways/caravan hubs/cannibal meat markets/slave fight pits/slave markets/wasteland markets with bards and entertainers/trainers/gyms/guilds and more, towns will also be able to be invaded by local monsters and factions.
@Spiraling Wyvern you are right, mines are going to be changed, in fact there were semi random events and quests in mines in the past, insane miners and rat/roach infestations that had to be cleared before you could continue, in future however mines will run dry and you will have to either find another ore pocket or close down the mine
@Dark god damn titan loop... glad that's gone
@SLJ hello, happy to answer any questions, the game is an offline game
@Soul Keeper what a great run, up until this point that is the best run I have seen, congrats, lots of kills including two mutant hunters, I will also be making sandstorms rarer now after this feedback, I had a similar thing happen to me but I managed to get out.
@Spiraling Wyvern What an incredible run, you even seem to have beaten soul keeper in place travelled through, well done! and yes, way to go darwin!
and in regards to everything else, I will be happy to come back and answer any questions you guys have, the next version will be out tonight and will have accessibility options so stay tuned!
All the best
Huw
