Riamus Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 27 minutes ago, Aldranon said: It feels a bit too contrived. I don't disagree with you but, at the same time, many games that require you drink liquids on a regular basis don't even give you the opportunity to drink water from any lake or river or whatever. This is just how gameplay works. Not everything is realistic and that's not a bad thing. I don't know that this change will be any good but I haven't tried it and I could be wrong. I'll wait until I see how it works. But if it comes down to it, I don't ever carry water back from water sources as it is even with glass jars. It is a very rare thing for me to fill a glass jar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to see how far we have come. I'm not sure what alpha this is from. Alpha 4 oder 5? That brings back so many good memories. 👌 What version was this?

Yeah, I have already watched them, but what I mean is something specific to 7D2D, like they did with other games (like The Witcher Logic, or Red Dead Redemption Logic).

JayBiggS Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I wonder if there are any plans to add ambient audio volumes to the poi's so there can be reverb and stuff like that. It would add so much to the atmosphere of the game. The game could do with an audio pass too tbh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all of the high res textures of a21 and memory requirements, that come with it, would the game benefit more from a processor with higher clock speeds or a greater amount of cache? A21 actually uses less RAM from optimizations, which was needed for console and those changes are ongoing. We have also been using more props for items and those can stream their textures, so potentially better on VRAM or at least more flexible use of VRAM. I would go for higher clocks, but both would improve performance. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Crow Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Loved tonight's dev stream. Super excited for player-buildable vault double doors. Disappointed the new tunnels won't appear in RWG though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake_ Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) @faatal , now that we are approaching the programmer stream, I would like to ask if there are plans of making a few simplistic options for "player death" when creating a rwg or any map for that matter: The thing is, the current death mechanic is a bit lenient on the food and water side, and while I'm not asking for rocket science, just more options with values like SUSTENANCE PENALTY: "default no penalty/ 50% food&water/ 25% food&water /0%food&water" or something like that, ......coupled with another for diseases, like: DISEASE PENALTY: "default no penalty/ maintain all diseases (but a bit reduced to allow for some time to heal)/ maintain all diseases with a lot of reduction,in the earliest of stages" and another for XP, for example: XP PENALTY: 25%/50%/75%/99% While they are simple, they could work in avoiding the "I'm infected, let's die to cure my infection, abrassion, head injury and broken arms and legs, because it's too much work to find all the items to heal", Or even "I'm hungry and losing hp and thirsty and can't do things properly, let's eat glass to replenish, I'm only level 3 !!".

Riamus Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) The new POIs shown in the dev stream look great! Great work to the POI designers as well as the artists who made the new art. Thank you for making it possible to paint windows and to have non-square glass windows!!! A couple things I noticed if anyone cares... The fire department sign is "Fire Dep" but anytime you shorten department, it should be Dept intead of Dep. Also, although maybe you intend this, the Italian restaurant sign says "Mamma" but usually it is spelled Mama. Again, if that's intended, it's fine. Oh, and one other thing that is becoming more and more noticeable as we see the new artwork... the old textures are looking really out of place against the new art. Just watching the stream and seeing the new POI, when you place the new art against many of the old textures (I'm thinking of the plain wood stairs in one of the POI as an example), it just clashes really badly. It isn't that the textures should look pristine the way much of the art does, but they just look too low-res or low-quality in comparison. I hope that is taken into consideration before gold because it is somewhat jarring next to the new art.

Just to clarify for anyone who didn't watch... that's a total of 14 tier 5, not 14 new tier 5. And some of those are old tier 4 that were bumped to tier 5 like Red Mesa. They listed the new tier 5 and there weren't that many new ones. Still a good update to tier 5 regardless. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paintable "mirror" and OSB textures are a couple that come to mind as being updated for this Alpha. 5 hours ago, Riamus said: Just to clarify for anyone who didn't watch... that's a total of 14 tier 5, not 14 new tier 5.

Spuder Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 @Laz Man, just want to say love the work you guys have done on the POIs. They look fantastic and are going to add so much to the playing experience. To me this is the best part of every alpha. I look forward to dying and getting mad from one of the traps you’ve hidden in the POI’s. 😂 The wilderness tiles that Brad showed looked amazing and will add to the experience when going from town to town (this was much needed). You may not be able to answer this, but will the roads out in the wilderness have street lines, etc. in the future? As great as the tiles tiles were, I feel they will kinda seem out of place when driving on a blah “asphalt” only road and then “bam” a 4 lane highway. I get this probably is something difficult to do going a random generated road to handcrafted, but it would definitely add the the immersion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the spacing of the F in Fire and the P in Dep from the white blocks you will see there is enough room for the T to have been there.
