Oh man I'm so tempted to play this. I have to endure, the wait for full release will eventually be over, won't it? :negative:
endure in enduring grow strong!!! We'll try to keep our promise and release it this year. though I'm already preparing to beg everyone for forgiveness and ask for a few more months of 2021
making everything look as good as we feasibly can made us really, really damn slow.

The most notable latest change is that now highest weapon skill-perks allows to ignore only 30% of enemy armor instead of 100%. It was like
:shredder: to me, like they had come to their senses. So, if they'll discard absurd perks like hobo-hp-regen or broken juggernaut (+dmg resistance according to % of missing hp) and promise to deliver some locations to actually explore other than city blocks full of turnip NPCs I might actually get hard-on.

Can you control your companions in combat? I can't remember all the times Fidel did something so stupid in combat, I wanted to shoot him myself. This is my single biggest complaint with ATOM RPG.

Since dialogues and companions are godawful in this game, I'd advise against charisma investment entirely.

Charisma with Sex Appeal is essential to nail all of them wasteland babes.
Truly, it's a hindrance in most interactions, since most important characters are male and jealous of your irresistible hotness, but you gotta get the priorities straight.
Life is all about them priorities.

Fully - nope. But you can still give them orders every turn, feature that not everyone knows about for some reason.

Look, if you wanna roleplay somewhat wasteland chad and don't wanna bother to savescum charisma buffs like a retard every time when the check appears - sure, who am I to prevent others from doin that? Even despite that implementation of the actual shagging is the worst I've seen in a games like this ever (yes, fading into black screen for a second is a way better implementation). And the guy have asked for a good build, whilist the game excels in exploration and combat in my opinion, so...

The dialogue in atom could be cringy and amateurish at times but I don't think it's awful. Too many references at times, but I would say the dialogue is mostly decent. And that it's gets better in the dead city. Unless you're talking about the dialogue in this game.

I found the dialogue in ATOM RPG to be good for the most part. Not Obsidian-quality mind you, but definitively above the standard of what you would expect coming from an indie developer. There are a few instances of hokum, but I suspect that most of these are results of translation and cultural differences. Not an expert*, but I suspect that in eastern European culture and languages, there is a higher level of tolerance for emotionality in conversation, that in the west would be perceived as exaggerated.
This is a bit ironic, since in eastern European countries, especially Russia, there's this macho-culture thing going on, where men are allegedly still "real men" as opposed to western cultures whose men are, allegedly, soft and girlish with our "ridiculous" notions of liberalism, gender equality, etc.
A cultural issue that is also very prominently addressed in ATOM RPG.

*I was in a multi-year relationship with a Russian and my wife is Polish, so there are a few subtle cues I picked up over the years, without actually understanding a word of it.

Evening, squires!
Trudograd development is all nice and smooth, but it really does take up much more of one's time. Really sorry for ignoring the codex like that. But hey, I made a reference to Infinitron in one dialogue, so I'm forgiven alright? Anyway, today is the day I make a lot of replies to you all! Starting with...
Atomboy Ever had a dream about making isometric + turnbased GTA or Elder Scrolls RPG?

Done in style and as well as ATOM or Trudograd, they would both make gamers richer with those experiences and you millionaires

*cough* GTA/Elder Scrolls 6 not being out for years and years because of greed brought by Online, makes your next game perfect time for such thing to happen, if you can be persuaded/wish so *cough*
My colleague has a dream idea for Oblivion but with VTMB plot\setting but I don't think that's ever gonna happen... I mean I'd love to make something akin to what you describe, but these two franchises are not on the top of the list. The biggest dreams for me are Slavic Wizardry 9, Slavic M&M 6: The Mandate of Rzeczpospolita, Slavic Jagged Alliance 3, Slavic Knights of the Chalice, Slavic Brigand: Oaxaca, Всеслав Чародей 1.5, Slavic Ultima VII, Slavic Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode 2, Slavic ADnD rule Icewind Gate 3: Planescape to Ravenloft of Elemental Evil, Slavic Morrowind 2, and maybe then a turnbased slavic GTA\TES 6.
I hope to one day call you Russian Rockstar/Troika. I believe in few things, one of them is your team
Thank you! I'd love us to grow up to be like Troika, but with more games, we need at least 10 dream ideas fulfilled, and we're still stuck on Turnipgrad!
Can you bang the crazy chick yet?
We added a new one just for you!

The most notable latest change is that now highest weapon skill-perks allows ignore only 30% of enemy armor instead of 100%. It was like

We're nerfing the shit out of the system with each patch! Don't worry! The turnip plotline will also have its peak eventually and dies down.
IRL Gexogen is still around btw and working on making ATOM RPG world our reality.

I like how his shotgun proficiency shows on the attached picture. What a guy!

Atomboy this is what made Silent Storm such a joy to play.

Dew it.

:incline:

We're doing our best, but I think this barn will be the only destructable in the game, and it will destroy itself in a cutscene lmao. It's way too invasive and breaks a lot of stuff already made!
Trudograd release date in 2020 or 2021? Atomboy
Right now it looks like 2021, but we're still working as if late december 2020 is the deadline, to make the biggest most amazing update to Early Access at least, even if we won't be able to finish the game by that time. We're very close, but rationally I doubt we will do and test it ALL before 2021.
Lets hope that the chads and their families are fine and corona chan had pass them over. :salute:
Meh, we had 6 cases on the team 2 of which was me, and we all lived! In my case it's pretty average, it takes you out for a week completely, makes you lose all your weight lifting progress, makes smoking very hard, makes food disgusting and vanishes without a trace only to come back in 6 months. The worst symptom is that the translation to English might be a few days late for the upcoming patch because I just returned to work after lying around for days.

Atomboy new patch when
Well we had a small patch which made the unplayable loose ends work ready 3 weeks ago, but then we had a risky idea of not publishing it and making it a part of a huge one-in-a-couple-of-months update which we are finishing at the moment. On one hand that's better, because in a few weeks players will get a huge chunk of the city with new locations, large quest lines and my favorite quest line in both games the Kung-Lan quest, but then again we were silent since September with no new stuff weren't we? That's pretty concerning, isn't it? I'll just spend a day counting how many comments about being a scam and vaporware we got and make the final decision about quantity over quality of future updates then!

Oh and also while I'm here. I'm not supposed to announce anything so I'll rephrase it in a very cryptic way so my intentions seem very vague.

Do you guys like Bombagan? Did you play Bombagan? Would you like to play Bombagan without the grueling chore of opening Trudograd, walking to an NPC and launching it via his or her dialogue? If there was a portable device which could launch Bombagan as a standalone program, with a reworked UI and certain additions to the gameplay, which are mainly cosmetic and your opponent wasn't AI, would you give it a go? If such a technological wonder was possible, would you suggest something for it if it was currently in development? Like for example my suggestion is the addition of bugs, server lag and ads everywhere, but what are yours? Just wondering you guys, pay not any mind to these rhetorical questions.

Slavic Wizardry 9, Slavic M&M 6: The Mandate of Rzeczpospolita, Slavic Jagged Alliance 3, Slavic Knights of the Chalice

If i said i loved your top-list, it'd be a serious understatement.
M&M 6 would be my least favorite though as one is already underway.

Wizardry 9 ... As in Wizardry 8 sequel? This would be absolutely fantastic although JA3 / KotC likes are quite appealing too.

Next big update announcement
Hey, guys!

Work on the next big update for the Early Access is going as planned, that’s why we decided it’s high time we announce some of our work to prepare you for what awaits in the future ;)

First off, new plot related missions are being prepared to take you to new locations and make you meet exciting new characters. New random encounters are also being added to the city map.

Old locations are getting new life. The last bit is especially true for the city docks area. There will be also plenty of new sidequests for those who want to take a break from the plot!

The characters will be revamped to new graphics standards with much more distinct facial features, and we’re not talking about portraits. The new facial detalization system is almost implemented into the game.

This new feature along with new animations will surely set the bar higher for Trudograd graphics-wise.

We really hope that these new visuals will be to your liking, and we’d love to hear your critiques on this matter.

The combat system was perfected with new features and tweaks to balance, inspired by you, our amazing community. Combat is still a work in progress, though, so some of it might change in an update or two.

And of course, this update will be the first one ever to feature the… On the other hand, let’s not ruin the surprise ;)

WIP

Stay tuned, friends. We’re thankful as ever for your unending support.

Have a spooky Samhain!

And as always… Let there be ATOM!

If only a wizard came by to assure me a first person turn based blobber rpg or an n-th Russian interpretation of JA would work in the modern climate... Maybe one day!

Just give us some release time lol. I want to play that shit and not read about it,fucking tease.
No can do! We're terrible with deadlines. What if I give you February 1st, but we'll find a bug on January 30th that will take five days to fix??? We'd be screwed! Most likely, we'll announce the deadline in December sometime.
