General / Thoughts and Questions

I have to admit when I first downloaded it I thought it was going to be fairly crappy, I thought "meh what the hell it will entertain me for an hour or so I guess." How wrong I was...
Even in it's current alpha build it has kept me hooked and I have yet to encounter anything more serious than a grammatical error. (other than requireing windows media player to launch it...boooo!) I can feel that insatiable urge to re-roll my character over and over slowly coming back to me. No modern games have made me feel that way. Only the likes of the original Fallouts ever managed that, the fact that pretty much every time you played thorough it you could do it differently was the reason it never annoyed me when I did. Hell even 12 years later I found new things and ways of doing quests.
You said somewhere that your going to hire an artist at some point? How many of you are working on this atm? I have a bit of hard on for isomeric pixel art and I like the style and feel you have got going on. I am guessing everything is made of tiles and put together in an in house level editor of some description. A video of you building an area in the editor (unless it's you do it just in code like a crazy person) would be awesome.
As for the characters, did you build them in 3D and render out sprites or are they hand drawn? Also how do you go about changing the weapons of clothes on something like that, that is something that has always puzzled me. There as to be a shortcut I'm not seeing, I would love to know how you went about it.
Anyway keep up the good work I'm genuinely impressed by what I have seen so far.

I much preferred fallout 1/2's method of aiming at body parts, that imo was perfect, maybe not in it's execution but it could have easily be tweaked to make it less imbalanced. It was certainly the most satisfying. It would certainly require a lot more work to implemented though so I can forgive it not being put in and without the graphic descriptions that accompanied the combat it would lose some of it's charm.
As for JA's aiming method it always felt a bit cheap to me when coming from fallout and I always viewed it as a slightly half arsed version. I would rather see whatever feat/skill based aiming they have got planned than something I loved done badly. Not that I think you (devs) are incapable of doing it but to make it perfect I don't think the juice is really worth the squeeze.
As long as you add a skill to shoot people in the crotch and drop them to the floor like a sack of spuds then I will be happy.... Having said that, that was probably was one of the many things that made aiming in fallout so imbalanced.

Sweet lord I am only 3 posts in and the captcha response questions are all ready making me want to slit my wrists, forums bots can't be that much of an issue surely?
Edit- Well now I feel dumb, guess it's only for the first 3 posts? Touche admin Touche....

I run the game at 1650x1080 and I found the need to increase the font size, maybe I am going blind but I find the text rather hard to read, I see why it was chosen due to the style but a slightly more legible version would be appreciated.
I also a lot of the orange text has a strange interlaced style texture to it please just make it a solid colour as it is also a pain in the ass to read on the smaller font setting.

Bugs / Re: Typos and other text issues
« on: December 22, 2012, 10:56:53 am »
Someone should make a sticky thread to report all typos and odd grammar in. Everyone can just mention it in there and Mr Dev Face can add a strike through to the text when he has changed it. He could delete it when they new patch is out.
I would do it myself but requesting stickies on my 2nd post would come across a bit presumptuous.
Anyway...
When entering Junkyard (Fallout junktown reference?) Archie suggests that I "thread carefully", I did have 40 points in tailoring at the time so that's a given. Guessing he meant "tread".

I often look at the Desura Alpha funding page to see if there is anything that grabs my interest.
I saw this a mulled over the idea of buying it for a day or 2 then succumb to the curiosity.
