and that UI is out of date

I know. I just made that mockup to see if the old UI goes well with the new style.
And it does

 

[buffalo bill]

Art copying life or life copying art?

I wonder what else you can use that third arm for

I wonder what else you can use that third arm for

Holding up your pants when you've lost a belt and are running for your life.

Three-handed polearms?

Those are just pointy lamp-posts.

• Grasshopper

[Roll] under skill#

Anytime you are on a grass tile, you can roll this action to blend in and be invisible if standing still, identical to the system if you are in shadow and standing still (which is like the Thief system). This can be be done in any lighting, making you a Predator and/or Commando that can stalk your enemies like a badass.

Sounds a little silly, depending on how it works. I hope the grass animation gets further iterations.

Perhaps the challenge mod on the 3d8 skill roll will take into account enemy LOS and how illuminated the location is. Whalenought_Joe ?

You roll to toggle into the 'hide' state regardless of any other NPCs or Players nearby, though if someone is within view already they can't hide. Similar to the state of being in shadow, it makes a player/NPC invisible if standing still unless someone gets within 5 tiles away. The player character tiles under them get a purple outline to signify they are hiding, which makes it a bit more obvious, I don't think we showed that off yet.

So that's a mechanic just based off Thief, and it works pretty well for hunting NPCs, but what we can do for grass or other hazards you can hide in is increase that distance someone would have to be from you to detect you, or modify it based it off their Observation Virtue. That might muddy up the boolean state of just being in shadow as long as someone doesn't bump into you, that's certainly a cozy state to be in right now, but there could be some nuance there. It would certainyl help the player detect hidden NPCs. We'll bring it up in the alpha-feedback questions.

 

[hello friend]

pretty sad to see the hexes go

 

[Grotesque]

I am pretty happy to see the hexes go

 

[garren]

Newer screenshots are looking better, but the screens look... I dunno, busy? Like the contrast is all over the place, like there's too much going on.

 

[Grotesque]

Where the fuck is the alpha demo?

 

[Merlkir]

I just hope they're both ok.

 

[Diggfinger]

Where the fuck copper is the alpha demo?

Was slated for 25th Aug...then postponed "roughly 1 week", so any minute now I guess.

 

[geno]

Where the fuck is the alpha demo?

Do you mean a new alpha demo? I tihught the first alpha was released some months ago. A better question is when will be the beta released.

I just hope they're both ok.

Wait, do they live near the zone affected by Florence?

No Geno, so far no Alpha demo was released to backers. It was first announced for February this year, then Aug 25th so we are waiting.

On the storm:

Where is Florence now?
As of 1 a.m. EST, Florence was 45 miles east of Wilmington, North Carolina – which figures to take the brunt of the hurricane’s punch – according to the weather service.

When and where will it make landfall?
Soon, and likely near the North Carolina-South Carolina border. From there, Florence will make an inland crawl, dumping a deluge of rain that the weather service has said “will produce catastrophic flash flooding and prolonged significant river flooding.”

In Seattle which has apparently gotten a good deal of smoke from the fires in.... California? Somewhere out there.

 

[agris]

I've talked to Joe in the past week or so, they're doing well - plugging away.

 

[Mustawd]

Where the fuck is the alpha demo?

It was released already. It was quite short though. Have you checked Steam? Should be in there.

The "hello world" one?

They're on the other side of the continent. No excuses.

Did they say if they are being treated well in Sensuki's basement?

And Oregon, yeah. I'm in Portland, couple hundred miles from Seattle. Smoke has been an issue but not immediately life-threatening. I heard that at one point being outside was the equivalent of smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour, something like that.

On Steam there is a short video (20 secs) which finished with a statement "backer alpha coming soon. Check back for details. *click here to exit*".
So no. No Alpha was released so far.

Just as a regular game.
