Alpha14 hype
5 hours until release
Steamfags hyped
>does /v/ support good indie games?
>>345090441
When is it actually going to release as a full complete game?
>>345090575
It's getting close, but it's a 1 man dev team. Only released on steam ea now due to having a good amount of content
What kind of game is it?
>>345091184
Scifi Colony SIM
>>345090441
so it's like dwarf fortress in space?
>>345091373
Also mod friendly and create custom starts.
Want to make a cannibalistic Adam and eve scenario? You can
Want no attackers for your colony? Go ahead and get comfy
Want to arrest any passers by and sell them to slave traders? Enjoy the profit
>>345090441
>>345090441
>$30
Nah. If it was $19.99 I'd be happy to buy it. I'll wait for the sale.
The dev is a pretty nice guy by all accounts. Regular updates and listens to fans instead of going apeshit and censors like Tripwire or Chuckle(cuck)Fish
>>345092109
Similar in gameplay to dwarf fortress, and set on a planet on which your colonists crssh. Less population, no up and down levels.
Does contain synthetic body parts and such, guns, turrets. Research to upgrade build options, final goal to construct a spaceship to leave planet.
>>345092109
>>345091184
it's just DF extra lite but you have to pay money for it
>>345090441
Can I just develop the colony without leaving the planet like bred kids and stuff?
>>345095214
you cant breed. there is no pegnancy. you increase population but critically injuring invaders, taking them into your base and then converting them. this will almost always leave them with a permanent injury which you will bionics to fix, unless they have the personality trait that causes unhappiness from bionics.
other than that theres this fuck off rare event where a pod will crash with a survivor.
>>345095458
*by critically injuring invaders
>>345095458
What's the time-scale in the game like? Is there no reproduction because a colony isn't expected to last beyond a year or something? I think that's kind of a downer.
Cool to hear that a niche kind of game has been able to thrive due to the dev being a cool guy though. Very cool to hear.
>>345095458
Isn't there breeding now? I saw relationships where a woman had another colonist as daughter.
>>345095458
You can also buy them from traders
how can i deal with those fucking sappers
The game looks like terraria tier trash
>>345096098
There's a family structure but no breeding
animals can definitely get pregnant so its probably because the dev doesn't want kids in his game probably (minimum age is 4 or something)
>>345095818
Colonies will last many years if you survive. The day length was just doubled and amount of days in the year therefore reduced as a result - so I don't know the up to date days per year info.
Not sure if breeding is in yet.....if someone who played alpha13 can confirm.....
There is marriage and sleep in same bed.
>>345095818
time scale is ok
i pirated it in a really early build and got to year 10 but updating to a newer version killed my save. i tried a much more recent version and they changed too much shit that pissed me off, like how items degrade when not covered by a roof but to trade you needs items out in the open. or how i spent a load of money on a megabeast and it drank all my beer and died of alcohol poisoning
>>345096098
i havent seen updates but i imagine waiting for kids to grow up would be less useful than any other method of pop increase
>>345096138
slavers seemed to stop showing up after a certain point for me
>>345096368
You don't need items out in the open to trade. Trade beacon can be placed indoors. Not sure when that was implemented or if it was a mod I used.
>>345096252
The more graphics you have the less gameplay you'll end up with. This is how indie games work.
You people sicken me. this is a great game. How come you're picking it up only now?
Is it because its out on steam? because if so then you people are a cancer and a plague on the video game industry, ignoring games simply because they aren't on steam is retarded
Is this by the prison architect team? Style looks the same.
>>345096903
I picked it up literally a year or more ago, and then it kinda fell off the face of the planet for me.
I'm glad to see it's still going strong.
It's kinda pricey IMO so I'll wait it out.
>>345096958
they used the same game maker or something
>>345096958
same artist got hired i think, different team
>>345096368
>i spent a load of money on a megabeast and it drank all my beer and died of alcohol poisoning
Stories like this are gold
>>345096349
>There is marriage and sleep in same bed.
and relationship modifier. basically if someone kills your mate, you're gonna be pissed and likely to go berserk.
what was up with the pieces of fucking walls everywhere in a way that made absolutely no sense and was just ugly and in the way
and the shit art style
>>345097210
When people like S-Purple Embezzle 200,000 USD for their faggotry, you can't blame game devs for nixing on any swanky art styles.
>>345096958
The dev used prison architect as inspiration because he can't art. Prison architect team are cool with it.
>>345096903
Who triggered the aspie?
>>345096903
I've played it long time ago, but now I'll be able to pay for it finally.
>>345097257
wat
>it's a shill visits /v/ episode
>>345097367
Me too. Just waiting to see the deal with steam keys when purchased from the website, and if mods will be better or worse supported through steam workshop
how the fuck do i butcher animals? i have the butcher table and a dead animal, a cook and the game only let me bury the fucking buffalo afhaofhd
>>345097367
what stopped you before?
>>345097579
You need to create a job at the butcher table. I set it to unlimited butcher dead animals, and make sure to uncheck human corpse unless you want to cannibal or feed human meat to animals
Also need to make sure you have at least one colinist with the appropriate job.
>>345097742
Fear of another early access game being abandoned. Turns out dev is good guy and is actually not taking the money and run
>>345096252
>>345096368
This is literally Prison Architect
>>345098032
only graphically.
>>345098163
Alright, this is literally a Prison Architect mod
>>345098232
Completely different mechanics, Rimworld is a far better game.
>>345098232
Every game released after '95 is "literally" a mod of another game
olo
>>345095458
You can also recruit those random assholes that come to visit your colony, but it makes whatever colony they originally came from annoyed.
>>345096575
I read that you need one in the open to receive stuff from traders, might be bogus tho
>>345090441
When are they adding vertical levels? It's the only thing holding me back from going full autismal.
>>345096575
They /do/ need to be out in the open if you want the stuff from the traders to land within the beacon's zone, otherwise they will just land outside as close as possible to said zone.
>>345090441
as a well known anon of 4chan I fully endorse this game and you should all buy itthe dev hates SJWs
I want to play it but I just can't handle the fucking "berserk" break.
People don't go fucking berserk. Maybe some people do, but only very specific people in very specific situations, not "everyone all the time if they don't get to eat for three days".
I can't fucking handle it. It drives me fucking nuts.
I don't mind the mental breaks. I do mind that they're so fucking stupid. Instead of the colonists actually going batshit crazy (but only for two hours lol then they're fine) they should just become unresponsive to commands. They should just stop working, take a break, sit down, have a meal, relax, and basically say "fuck this I'm taking some 'me' time and I don't give a shit about the consequences because I cannot fucking deal anymore" - because that's how people actually react. When you're stressed at work you don't just take off your fucking clothes and walk into a bear. Some people do, but it's the people - not the circumstance - that cause that to happen. Most people just clock out.
It's just dumb. It drives me nuts.
Apart from that, very fun game.
>>345098403
why did you redact fucking almost everything from this image? this isn't fucking reddit, you can post basic publically available (and overtly advertised) information.
>>345098712
Never, he said there wont be Z level since the Kickstarter campaign.
>>345096148
Build outer walls that theyl sap. Have turrets lined up so the moment they breach they get shot at.
>Tfw colonist mental break ends up being positive.
Tried it a few days ago.
It's clearly no Dorf Fortress. More on the level of a Gnomoria with no verticality. But it's fine in itself. I had FUN getting my very early base burned by a boomrat with two people afraid of fire. Then some more FUN accidentally shooting with a shotgun some wooled alien beast with the splash damage as a raider came close by, leading the beast and raiders to rampage, shoot and gore my six colonists. Oh, and there was this time I opened a walled off surface only to find assholes shooting me with energy lances as I literally just landed, but that was curiosity that doesn't count.
Gonna check Alpha 14's content, see if there's something appealing, and have a look.
>>345098712
I think the dev is still debating actually adding z-levels, so it's unknown if they will be added.
What I do know is that he will be adding different areas you can send teams to, like colonies and shit to raid.
>>345098842
>>345098902
>>345096148
Mines. Endless mines. That or build a fuck load of turrets all over the damn place.
>>345098996Hey hey hey, calm down there, friendo. Have a cat, cheer yourself up.
>>345098553
if by recruit you mean kidnap then sure
i read the description of one of them. it said she was a fucking exile. i think oh i'm sure they wont mind if i fucking let her live with me. suddenly at war with them
nice fucking game dev
>>345099182
Nah, I'm talking about the groups of like two to five guys that actually come to your base and stay there for a few days, not the random assholes that walk by.
This game is fun and good but 30 bucks? Im a cheapskate but at least when you spend 30 bucks to get the non steam version you get like 20 copies per update to share with all your friends.
t. Someone whose friend bought the non steam version.
>>345099725
>when you spend 30 bucks to get the non steam version you get like 20 copies per update to share with all your friends.
You do?? Citation needed
The small things are better than the big things in this update imo
I'm not that impressed with the scenario thing but all the fixes and new items etc. are really great
>Animals no longer do incest.
>Humans now do incest.
>>345092109
Imagine dwarf fortress with about 10% of the features, except you have to pay for it like it's a full game and it has graphixxx as opposed to DF's minimalism.
>>345090441
I support it once it isn't unplayable on a high resolution monitors and colonists don't shoot each other while hunting together
Until then I'll keep pirating it
Moderately hyped
>>345100056
My friend bought it. You get:
Seven downloads for window
Seven for Osx
Linux
And that resets every update.
>>345098810
Would you say it was driving youberserk?
>>345100282I want to do incest
>>345100056
You get seven attempts to download latest build, meaning you can give the other 6 to people.
Where the fuck do you get steel from, only from mining? Doesn't that mean you have a very limited amount per map?
>>345100598
You can get some from trading too.
>>345100598
Mining and trading. Hence why wood and non metallic methods of building are great.
>>345100426
>My friend bought it.
Sounds legit, where do I sign?
If this info is stated by the dev on his website then I believe.
>>345090441
Thanks shill. I'm going to buy it in 2 hours.
>>345100598
depends on the terrain type, but you can get quite a lot out of mining steel, in my first game I beat it without buying any steel
bulk goods traders usually sell a couple thousand bits of steel at a time when they come
>>345100598
also depends on your map size
>>345100824
>wood
hope you enjoy fire since every fucking piece of machinery will randomly explode periodically
>>345100835
OP here. No worries. Sometimes /v/ has videogames.
>>345096298
>because the dev doesn't want kids in his game probably
what the fuck?
This numale removed an entire fucking facet of Dwarf Fortress and the genre in general just because he can't deal with the thought of someone mistreating kids?
Was he touched as a kid?
>>345096252
yeah, because terraria is so terrible.
It only sold over 12 million times, the majority in the past 2 years.
>>345096903
>he buys games without trading cards and achievements
pure pleb
>>345101132
>probably
I'm not saying that I know why, its just a possible reason I threw out there, jesus mate
>>345101217
why start shit for cunt?
>>345100960
F I R E P O P P E R S
Don'tgohome without them.
I usually just build a reserve base out of non flammables for use if my ranch mansion burns down, though.
>>345101321
why not
>>345096903
Steam is the FaceBook of gaming
I want other people to be able to see my well-refined taste in games if they check my profile to see if I'm a hacker when we play CS:GO
>>345098369
Bullshit. Sometimes you'll have games come along that spawn their own genre (see DOTA). How can you consider them mods?
>>345101459
come on mate
you can do better than that
>>345100960
>Not having dedicated firefighters
>Not researching stone.
>>345101132
It's more that the scale it takes for your colony to die, makes it impossible for your children to reach adulthood I think. It's not dorf where you're building a fortress lasting the ages, it's more like you're a small hick town's worth of people trying to survive long enough until you can get the hell out of this planet.
>>345100426
or you can just send the zip file you download to infinite people
>>345101459
Mobas are just rts mods
>>345101667
Im calling the cops
Install Combat Realism mod and you will get the best squad real time tactics indie game.
>>345101598
How many dwarf forts made it to even their tenth year?
>>345091059
It's not one man dev team.
Tynan did started the game on his own but currently Ludeon Studios is 3 devs I believe.
>>345100397
>colonists don't shoot each other while hunting together
Fixed in A14.
>>345101798
Please elaborate on what this mod does.
>>345100564
>You get seven attempts to download latest build, meaning you can give the other 6 to people.
So if I format hd, reinstalling game will be a second download? I can't handle that stress man.
>>345101897
Fuck off shill I'm still not buying your game.

Ok, so I read the changelog
That nice
Once the UI is scalable I will actually pay for your game
>>345096252
If it's anything like Terraria I'll buy it for £4 and get 250 amazing hours out of it while supping on your virgin tears
>>345103065
Why people keep comparing it to terraria?
It is mostly like Dwarf Fortress Light. Still more complex than anything that tried to be DF but a level lower from actual DF.
I used to play Rimworld since quite some time. Coming back to it everytime there's some new fancy mods or game updates. It's really good.
>>345103356
>Why people keep comparing it to terraria?
Two reasons. Ignorance and trolling.
>>345101925
Changes the combat, so it's less based on RNG and more on skill and preparation. If you build a base where you have cover and enemies don't, you can defeat much bigger force without cheese.
CR among other things makes shotguns shot actual pellets, adds reloading, loadout system, suppression mechanics, firing modes and most importantly - limited ammo.
>>345104618
Cheers mate! Sounds fucking cool.
>>345104618
>>345105308
Oh yea CR is great. I believe it also added tactical shields which are nice to use. Problem is you probably will have to wait a bit until it's updated to the steam release version.
Is this game 1 layer only? no underground or building up?
>>345106269
Yes, there is no building up or digging down
