General / Re: Very nicely done - some questions?
« on: September 25, 2012, 10:41:37 pm »
Hey, thanks for checking out the demo. 
1) Most of the narration will be done through dialog.
2) That's something I'd do if I was doing crowd-funding, but since I've given up on that I have no plan to monetize this right now.
3) It's .NET + XNA. Most of the data files are in format specific to the the game's custom engine.
4) Not at the moment.

Hi.
Here's how you set up the game to run as admin. I'll assume you're running Windows 7, so let me know if your running something else:
- right-click on the "Underrail Alpha Demo" shortcut on your desktop and choose Properties
- go to the "Compatibility" tab
- near the bottom there's "Privilege Level" section with an "Run this program as an administartor" option. Make sure that option is checked
- Click OK
- Run the game by using the shortcut on your desktop
Let me know if it worked for you.

Hopefully sometime in the future I'll be able to hire a real artist. Until that you'll have to put up with my programmer art.

I'd like to support modding at some point in the future, but don't expect it at release. I'm already on a very tight schedule as it is.

As jimy suggested you'll be able to do this through special attacks, there's already a couple of those (aimed shot, kneecap shot, execute, snipe) and there will be more to come.

General / Re: how do you re gen PSI
« on: September 20, 2012, 02:01:16 am »
I'm considering adding psi regeneration. Alternatively, I might expand the psi pool and the amount of psi that the drugs restore without changing the psi costs so that the player doesn't need to constantly shoot up, but still retain the psi boosters as a necessary resources.
We'll see.

Suggestions / Re: Rescuable NPCs don't turn hostile when hit by a stun or minor damage
« on: September 14, 2012, 01:38:17 am »
True. Another problem is collateral burst / grenade damage among allied NPCs. I'll be looking into a better way of handling this instead of immediately registering hostilities.

I'm aware of this issue and will be addressing it at some point soon.
For now you can manually start turn-based combat by pressing ENTER.

Development Log / Dev Log #3: Alpha Funding Model
« on: September 14, 2012, 01:25:06 am »
I've hinted earlier that I'm considering alpha funding for Underrail and now I've officially made up my mind. I originally planned on launching a crowd-funding campaign but that turned out to have too many limitations based on where I was located, so I decided alpha funding is a better option.
The game will be available for purchase in its alpha stage on a couple of digital distribution websites, and who ever purchases alpha version will, of course, receive the final game at no additional cost when it's done. Also, I plan on releasing regular content updates throughout the game's development.
I'm currently working on the next major update that will be the first purchasable version of the game. It will include a major new quest hub (sneak peek above), a new "dungeon" area, more weapons, utilities and other items, new character skill, some updated game mechanics, and more.
I'm expecting the update to be ready sometime in October. Stay tuned for more info on the new stuff.

« on: September 12, 2012, 09:50:34 am »
Thanks, glad you've liked it.
Regarding the skills. As you said, it does make the game easier to balance (because skills often scale damage) and it also encourages making a versatile character.

« on: September 12, 2012, 09:47:19 am »
.NET 4.0.30319 is what the game was built on. I think that's the SP1 for .NET 4.
