emarat Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks for the video. Game looks awesome. Can’t wait to get my hands on this new Alpha. Tell Justin he did a great job om those trees, they look beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidobunny Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I know how you feel... But if your gonna keep this up, you'll be very busy I know I started working on his original question and decided it was worthless to write an entire English lesson. I thought I'd hit one major lesson and call it a day lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toores Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'm going to just say I got rekt hard in two cut video sequences. The AI mysteriously swarms around you and you get surrounded and with the new movement system you can't simply run circles around them any more, so combat and entering a POI is harder, the AI is better and you had better be on your toes. Manage your stamina too. It all needs much balancing, but I see this as "its going to be totally awesome, living in fear again" and there will be no safe place on horde night. The old cheesy rooftop exploit or digging underground will not save you. BTW, I didn't get rekt because its too hard, but because I made mistakes. The levels are set up in a way to organically surround you if you aren't aware of your surroundings. I think footsteps are broken too so that added to me getting rekt. I hope the stamina management isn't too intense. When zombies are walking I'd kind of expect to be able to run around them in circles a bit. Any word on how digging underground is made not to be safe anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostChilli Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks for taking the time out for an update. Always appreciated. I'm really looking forward to the tackling the new POIs. I'd like to have to rely on torches and candles more though as this adds a lot to the suspense of room clearing. In the current build, once you have a minors helmet it becomes too easy in the dark and the fear factor lessens. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Roland Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hmmmmm.....I know about the rooftop (and it’s terrifying) but not about the underground (which is the one I’m most interested in learning...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crater Creator Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Entities can have AOEs and if "the" campfire buff is getting changed over to the new system then it won't be a one-off. Excellent!

Xtrakicking Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The old cheesy rooftop exploit or digging underground will not save you. This got my attention. So no more digging underground or sitting on a rooftop, huh? How exactly is this possible? In order to get you they'd have to take the house down or dig down to get you. Update looking great, btw.

Jost Amman Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Release the Kraken Thanks for posting! :-] To be honest there's not as much as I'd expected to talk about until the next video!! What I mean is that it would be great to see the new skill list and some info on the new level progression system attributes and the stealth system... but ok, I guess it's not ready for prime time yet.

Survager Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 @madmole, thanks for video. Church look awesome!!! ) I want to ask about the distant trees in 17 Alpha. Can we see distant trees if we cut them down? In 16 Alpha there is such a problem with buildings. We change or destroy the building, but in the distance everything looks as if nothing has changed. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiiTee Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Oh.. My.. ZOMBIE HP BARS.. WHAT IS THIS ?!?! and finally.. I get to see how much ridiculous HP and Regen a Copper runs around with! - Also... Are you maybe gonna balance that because eeh it's less fun having to unload a bucket load of shots into their heads and nothing happens and then all of a sudden they blow up killing you in the process !

KingSlayerGM Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks Joel for the new video! The new trees look awesome and the fact that now they are rendered much farther away is great news! I love them Damn, I really do not like the zombie hp bar. It is ugly, too big and it is activated before you even do damage. Sorry ): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamida Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Release the Kraken This gave me a bit of a surprise. I usually associate the releasing of the kraken with the release of a new alpha. I also noticed the avatar didn't change which would have also noted a release of a new alpha. I was confused, excited and disappointed.....puberty all over again....

Xrt Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Not being safe on rooftops, or underground, is a huge new feature. I really wish you could elaborate a few words on how this is done. That is so cool. Not being safe on horde night is what it's all about, IMO A17 looks great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crater Creator Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 One thing that stood out to me in the video, or rather didn’t stand out, was the bleeding buff. Madmole’s character starts bleeding at two points in the video, and he applies a bandage one of those times. I noticed two indicators for bleeding: the buff icon, and the tooltip. I only noticed the tooltip on the second viewing, but in fairness it was still programmer text (“injurybleedingtooltip”). In contrast, when the player’s fullness gets low (in A16), this gets an indicator in the form of a sound effect (stomach growling) every time it decreases, in addition to the buff icon. Bleeding damage is a more immediate concern than decreasing fullness, so it deserves more prominent feedback than the other in my view. And during combat, when it matters most, I’d sooner pick up on a pained grunt sound effect, or the screen flaring up red when my character bleeds, than a line of text.

Data Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 My thoughts A few questions:- 1- I don’t think that the “health bar” at the top for zombies is really needed, it’s not as if this is a streetfighter or mortal combat 90’s arcade fight game, if you batter a zombie, and you havent finished him off, then thats your fault in not finishing the job, dont need to see a health bar 2- How much does Joel actually play the game? It’s funny watching his vid, he’s useless! 3- I love the current weapon/tool upgrade system, in having to scavenge for new parts, to upgrade them all at a workbench, putting them together, it adds to the overall, desolate theme to the game, making it a scale of 1-5 and that’s it, just seems pointless but thanks for the update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace312 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Zombies haven't been able to dig down for a long time now, that will get fixed if it isn't. Sad to hear that. Now I can't have a nice garden if I build a basement... That was the problem, they didn't take the house down. They run around break a few blocks but not actually do much damage to the building. Yey! Now theres a reason to build intelligently (I hope). I hope for many wtf moments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
