Game News The Age of Decadence Released

[Nael]

Why do you hate ITS so much you want their games to get lost in the subforum deluge?

What are you talking about? That's still better than being lost in the "Hosted CRPG Forum Pool (Tar Pits)"

 

[Bubbles]

Yes. I doubt most Codexers know that this forum exists.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

But the current location is more visible to the demographic who never venture into General RPG Discussion

[LeStryfe79]

I usually only see the general discussion forums.

 

[Lurker King]

My first build and I am doing fine...

Hahhaha, you bought the amulet!

Those reviews are a selling point to me as I'm sure to many other people. Idiots can go fuck themselves, it's always been like this. Only it kinda hurts more because ITS is a tiny studio.

All the more reason to make your own positive review to minimize the damage. Guys, if you haven't made a positive review yet, do it now. It doesn't matter if it is as simple one. More positive reviews make a BIG difference.

It holds tremendous power.

Can I make a review insulting millenials and shitlibs?

That depends on how often did you frequent AoD subforum prior to release. Took me a moment to find it actually, initial instinct was to check General RPG section.

 

[Lurker King]

The people who got so used to Todd's Sawyer school of design ("a Jack of all trades type of PC had better be capable of accomplishing every single goal & quest, or else!"). Aren't they adorable.

Fixed for accuracy because I don't believe someone like Todd would even believe in a design philosophy, in the first place.

No, you can't tell the truth about them, because your goal should be to sell more units to them. Be more political. Say that the game is awesome and made you feel like a super-hero. That will do.

I posted a quick positive review. The game seems to be holding steady though.

In windowed mode, you resolution has to be lower than desktop one, otherwise the engine will pick the next thing smaller.
If you switch to fullscreen, you can also switch back to desktop resolution or higher, whatever your system supports, no need to offend yourself with blurry upscaled image =)

In full screen, resolutions above 1776x1000 end up disturbingly blurred all around. It might actually be rendered at a different, lower resolution than 1776x1000 and upscaled because actually selecting the 1776x1000 resolution and playing it full screen on my 1920x1200 screen nets in a sharper image than selecting 1920x1200 which somehow ends up in a very poor image.

Anyway, why is that with windowed modes, is it an engine limitation? Is it because of the window frame, resulting in larger pixel dimensions than the desktop resolution?

Btw Vault Dweller the current subtitle for AoD over at http://store.steampowered.com/ I find to be a bit misleading, other released games say 'Now Available' but it seems to imply AoD is still in early access.

Might want to ping someone at Valve if it's something you care about.

Should also update the trailer to say "Now released" or something of that nature instead of "Now on Steam early access". felipepepe

Cool, bra. But there are more positive reviews now because most of the reviews are old, from the earlier acess period. Another thing that helps is to mark any negative review as unhelpful.

 

[Melcar]

Everyone should spam good reviews, even if they have not played it. The Codex should also do their part and give out "11/10" reviews.

 

[vrok]

OK, it's Thursday now so I bought it even though I shouldn't have. Worst developer ever, can't keep their promised release dates to save their lives. Obvious path of least resistance attitude.

 

[Melcar]

How does it feel to betray your fanbase? Fucking sellouts man.

Strange. I don't have a widescreen monitor to test it, preferring oldschool 4:3 ratio, but I'll ask Oscar to look into it.

Anyway, why is that with windowed modes, is it an engine limitation? Is it because of the window frame, resulting in larger pixel dimensions than the desktop resolution?

Engine limitation. Quite some people seem to want to play in "fullscreen windowed", though, so I might look into it in future.

 

[Irenaeus II]

You should get a widescreen monitor for game development, bro. To say they are widespread is an understatement.

 

[Melcar]

Bro, the game was developed on a first gen Pentium with 64mb of RAM and a 6GB HDD. Widescreen monitors... Shit please.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Also, the The gives me a slight yet implacable sense of unease when I look at the game next to Age of Empires, Age of Mythology and Age of Wonders.

Vault Dweller
I remember you saying 8 points in a stat were used in Abyss checks, but is there anything in the game that uses Attribute 10 checks?
