Title: AliensRL 0.8 beta 6 Game testing
Post by: skarczew on April 26, 2010, 12:27
So ...well ...you can see on screens :] .

The highlights of the current beta version:
- few things fixed;
- few new bugs introduced;
- funny/buggy layout resulting in stuff overlapping with walls, doors; strange walls in the middle of towers, etc;
- inaccessible levels (the one with queen as well);
- Main Tower has the tendency to hang / app crash beyond the possibility of recovery;

Is it me or did I just see "truns" instead of "turns"?

1:What's the reason of death? It was radioactive level, or just deadly reloading?
2:Where did you find so many enemies? Did you crawl into every hole of every level?
3:Is starting as a HW specialist worthy? I mean what's the starting strategy due of the lack of professional weaponry

And if topic is created for that, I can post my Scout:

 There is 9mm ammo lying here.
 You pick up 12x 9mm ammo.
 You open the door.
 You heavily hit the praetorian!

If you think there is a door on the screenshot, you're wrong. It's ammo.

@ZZ:
Ad.1. Suicide. I removed most of my health with a help of a fellow aliens, then aimed RPG at a wall at point blank distance (I did not want to spend too much time because of lurking crash bug). I could not access Main Tower level 7 (as seen on screenshot), so i decided to take a break.

Ad.2. I cleared almost all towers on the first level - without Main and those parts of the levels that were inaccessible. After it I ascended mainly through Military and Security (with a short excursions to a Medical and Storage for Colt and Shotgun ammo and medpacks when needed .
And yeah, I am quite surprised to look at the amount of turns of yours o.o .
I believe the most funny areas are the Military and Security (and yet they are the most dangerous ones), thats why I usually stick to them when I play.

Ad.3. After previous games I noticed that some of Heavy Weapons show up pretty early (like RPG on the level 1), so thats why I decided to try it out.
It was my first time "playing" (rather testing) this class. I maxed Heavey Weapons around level 4 or 5 and walked with Plastisteel and Smartgun :) .
The best of class is that you are not limited when you need to change the armor - on one level you can walk with a Plasstisteel, on the other one with a Radiation Suit.
I was a bit surprised to find Power Armor, though. I think in the future version such armor (that allows you to have the extra armor AND HW capability) should be much more rare.

@screenshot:
I have found Pistol ammo, Medipacks, Smartgun ammo, Power Armor (and other stuff) in walls pretty often. Sometimes they were on a doors - and opening a door allowed me to get the item then.

Hello.
I am completely missed beta test sign up, but if you find one more tester place, you can count on me. Have programming skills (gamedev, data base programming), could fix bugs on the spot.

Hey there q0099 - you might want to post in this thread (http://forum.chaosforge.org/index.php/topic,3001.0.html) as that's the one that Kornel is checking in regards to Aliens Beta access. =)

I certainly would, if it wasn't locked. I PM-ed Kornel and he gave me advise to post here.
