Game News Underrail Dev Log #50: Version 1.0.2.2 Beta

Who has the time to sit there drawing a map? Takes you completely out of the game.

Adding mapping, respawn and movement options to the game settings and it would be a near damn perfect game.

 

[Excidium II]

There is no need for maps of any sort. Did you people play for more than 5 minutes?

Do u even Wizardry bro

Not everyone has perfect recall, and I shouldn't have to sit there drawing a goddamn map.

 

[thesheeep]

I also think the game would be better with a map, but I played through it without one and rarely got lost.
Just remember that I got lost in the area around the first city. That was confusing.
Other than that, it is just a nuisance.

And I never draw my own maps, I prefer to keep my game in my game and not do stuff outside of it.

Well, you don't have to. Underrail is perfectly fine without a map.

You just need the ability to know cardinal directions. There's fast travel to all major settlements and they generally give p. clear directions to places.

The only thing the game genuinely needs is an out-of-combat movement speed boost.

 

[oneself]

Were cats too strong?

 

[Gord]

What I think would both fit the game and help new players a bit with orientation is a buyable in-game map which is just a map object in your inventory which opens a picture showing the approximate position of major settlements and landmarks.
No precise automap, no "You are here" indicating the player's location.

 

[Excidium II]

They could also put "you are here" maps on the train stations.

 

[Shin]

a static map (that you either buy piece by piece or 'uncover' by going places) on which you can add your own notes would be awesome. yeah, the game is very playable without a game but since navigation is a bit of a hassle I don't feel like replaying it all the way, yet.

To be perfectly honest, this is what I've been thinking too, for a while now ever since people keep asking for maps.

Gotta quote you guys on the "Additional Content" thread in Underrail forum.

I like Gothic too

From what I've heard about it, seems like the last area could use a map.

Especially since it uses Dr. Who TARDIS-style scaling.

 

[Excidium II]

That area must be annoying as fug without stealth.

I was planning on skipping stealth since it was my understanding that it's more about getting into a better combat position and extra damage rather than avoiding enemies entirely.

 

[Excidium II]

Kinda serves both purposes.

Kind of right, but not completely. The only time i've used map was in Deep Caverns when i had to exit this mushroom maze. That was nuts, considering my crossbow build[the DR on those burrowers brrrr]

 

[MrBuzzKill]

They obviously ditched maps to weed out casuals from the get-go.

 

[Barghest]

If he wanted to weed out the casuals he would have locked it to ironman-only.

All I want is to see some flexibility from the dev and either allow mods or add map, speed and respawn options to the settings menu. I'll be happy then.

Oh god, this area. I think I only managed to make it through thanks to some glitch. It was massively, stupidly unbalanced.

 

[Kalin]

Added blueprints for standard, W2C and JHP bullets

 

[adure]

still no quicktravel?

 

[Kalin]

Kill urself

Still, didn't beat it, by the way.

Yeah, this is what I want, or something close. I don't need an arrow, just an in-game map with a general notion of the places.
