Urban Strife - turn-based zombie survival RPG

[normie]

the UI looks so good

That dive deserves a yellow card. He barely touched him.

KO state is the news though. It needs a lot of tweaking of course but stamina is now critical in combat. Melee becomes more powerful with it, shock induced by pain too.
The "pro" side of the coin is that stamina is way easier to recover than health. You don't need a surgeon to get up on your feet, just a sip of water (or something stronger if you have it).

I am afraid this is a post-apoc game, the old ice water sponge is the best you can get, no fancy sprays for you.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

fancy sprays for you

Eh, we'll whip up something, as like as not.

Does time matter in Urban Strife? Do resources disappear from locations if you don't scavenge it first? Do potential allies disappear/die if you don't find them by a certain date?

 

[USG_Mucifikatorul]

Yes, time affects a lot of aspects, from healing to how the ongoing power/survival struggle evolves on the strategic map.
We'll reveal more about this in due time.

Is it just me, or is the video quality on Twitter always absolute shit?

Definitely not just you, but that one is particularly bad.

Videos in general, and especially gifs get butchered by twitter.

 

[USG_Mucifikatorul]

Yea, sadly Twitter optimizes the vids for phones, I think. What I've uploaded there should've been a HD video.
We might have to think about using gifs instead of short videos for Twitter, dunno. Anyway, here's an imgur version (not sure they're better either):

USG_Mucifikatorul I hinted before but this time I'll just say it. Can't you upload these previews to Youtube also? The horrible Twitter video resolution makes these look like garbage. I can't even see what I'm supposed to be looking at. A blob moved near another blob and there was a hitting sound.

 

[agris]

not to dogpile questions, but USG_Mucifikatorul can you say anything about support for 16:10 resolutions? Based on the screenshots above, it looks like the gameport can easily be extended vertically, as there's no 2D UI art spanning an entire vertical stripe of that viewport.

How is this then:

Can't be very specific atm but as I remember from the alpha test, we had the game run on all kind of resolutions and it scaled up after some tweaks quite ok (I mean on 4k and some weird TV resolutions). The UI is designed with scaling in mind so my guess (I have a 16:9 so I am not 100% sure) it is there will be no issues. And if there are, we'll tackle them.

Much better. Can we make this a habit?

It's not so simple. The YT url eats up precious space on twitter (as opposed to an uploaded vid, that takes none). Also YT vids are (intentionally) displayed like crap on Twitter.
I'll try and do a backup on YT and drop the alternative link here as often as I can.

Personally, I'm happy to just check your Youtube account whenever there's a Twitter post. In fact I'm sure Abu Antar would be happy to do the legwork and post both links here. If you see to it that they exist

Ok, here's today's post in full HD glory. RPG Codex exclusive and all (since on Twitter it's going to appear later today).



We are internally testing the new prologue missions (this is where all the new stuff came from) but the damage and AP costs aren't quite tuned yet so forgive the hardcore lethality. The next builds should be more refined in that aspect.
