Now I know that, but there is another thing - if someone is killed behind desk (especially, when it's a desk with computer or something else is lying on it), You won't get the loot. TABing reveals, that there are "Remains', but You are unable to point it with coursor.

Pressing Z highlights the items in reverse order, so you're able to select the 'deepest' object first. Not the best solution, though, and I'm currently looking for a better one.

Suggestions / Re: Automatic attack when not in combat mode

Yeah, I'll change it to fire only once. This sort of behavior is something that was carried over from time before the game had turn-based combat at all.

I'll probably just increase walking speed, but not by that much.

You don't really have a good feeling of how much of a speed up 40% is until you test it. It's ridiculously fast.

Hehe, somehow I doubt I'd get THAT many more player.

I currently have no plans of localizing the game, especially not in Cyrillic script.

Btw, thanks for the translation.

Yeah, I plan to implement autosaving on transitions. Also, both autosaving and quicksaving will have rolling slots.

Most of the loot and merchant inventory is randomly generated. For instance, in the armory store the game generates 1-2 weapons of each class. It generates only 1 sniper and it can be 12.7mm or 8.6mm if I remember correctly.

It might be the case that there isn't energy pistol blueprint as a static item anywhere, but it can be found as a random drop. The idea behind the energy weapons is that they are rare, though I guess I should have put a static drop somewhere for the purpose of the demo.

Suggestions / Re: A map

There will be a global metro map that you'll use when travelling by train.

Local map for the area you're in seems redundant to me, since you can just scroll around and see everything you explored that way. I never used local maps for this exact reason in Fallout 1/2.

Haven't completely made up my mind on the subject though.

Logger is implemented, but is not dumping to the file atm.

There's also something similar to the command console, but it's not a part of release build.

If I end up releasing more builds in the future, I'll consider including something of the sort for you guys to mess with.

Bugs / Re: Shooting through doors

« on: August 27, 2012, 12:13:23 pm »

I think the problem here is that if you close the door while the enemy is standing in the doorway, you can still shoot at each other.

I'll fix it so that you cannot close the door if the doorway is occupied.

Bugs / Re: Combat mode, stealth, and Snipe feat

« on: August 27, 2012, 12:12:14 pm »

Actually the bug it seems is that for certain high caliber snipers the AP cost of the snipe attack is greater than 50. Are you using 12.7mm one?

I'll be sure to fix this.

Or your AP are lowered by something, such as wearing an armor you don't have enough strength for.

XNA works just fine and C# is amazingly productive language that is well suited for programming complex systems such as RPG games. I have no intentions of changing the technology I use in the foreseeable future.

The only downside of using .NET/XNA is that it's not portable to other systems. I haven't had a chance to experiment with Mono yet, though.

Anything possible to say about the access to future builds?

Will you release a demo such as this one from time to time, or perhaps something bigger?

If I end up going for alpha funding there will be regular builds of the game available for those who pre-purchase. Otherwise, there probably won't be any more releases until beta.

Bugs / Re: Crash on save

« on: August 26, 2012, 09:39:01 pm »

The problem occurs when you're running resolution higher than 2048 it crashes as it attempts to take a screenshot.

As a workaround, I'll upload the patched .EXE to IndieDB that will skip the screenshot in that case.

Big thanks to stuartrue for helping me get to the bottom of this.

Yeah, pickpocketing is kinda broken at the moment. I like the suggestion that it should not require being in the stealth mode, so that's something that I'm going to experiment in the near future.

Keep up the good feedback, guys.
