AliensRL / Brightness
« on: July 21, 2012, 18:38 »
I really appreciate this engine that lets me use ASCII-like graphics fullscreen on my LCD monitor. But please figure out a way to make the colors a little brighter or easier to see. I'm getting a bid of a headche squinting at the screen. I assume some of that is for mood and atmosphere so do what you can.

I didn't see a news thread for this game anywhere. Should I expect a new version within 6-12 months? Early beta for donators?

I used a nuke on level 25 while invulnerable, then used a nuke on the final level. The game said "You die..." I can't remember if that's normal. Then it went straight to the mortem, but it was the mortem of my previous game from a few hours ago. My full win mortem file wasn't in the folder.

Is this a bug, or can you no longer nuke the final level? It should still produce a normal mortem of course.

Is there anything else I can post since there's no mortem file? I haven't started a new game yet.

I downloaded a fresh copy of the new release and set GameMusic to false. It made the bloodslide animation very slow. I think the rest of the game felt a little sluggish too but I haven't tried it in a while. It doesn't do this if I set GameMusic to true and then disable it within the game using the ) key.

I'm running Windows XP and onboard sound. It's the standard version of the executable.

0.9.9.1 / [M|AoMr|86%|YAFW] Perseverance pays off
« on: January 01, 2011, 17:21 »
This was my 7th try at Angel of Marksmanship. Most of the attempts went very well, but at first I didn't realize which enemies to avoid. I died to a few mancubi and then a revenant. I was starting to get pissed off, so I checked the Badges Guide. I decided to try the offense build instead of the MGK build. I loved it. The Trigun made it pretty easy. I skipped 2 or 3 levels that sounded risky, even diving into The Vaults to avoid one of them.

I had never reached Phobos Arena with a nuke and invulnerabilty before. So after all those sad deaths in AoMr, the RNG decided to give me a nuke on level 23 and an invulnerability globe a few steps from the stairs on level 24. I wasn't even sure I knew how to use the nuke, but that went off without a hitch. The Trigun and offense build helped me kick the barons back and stun JC while running backwards to reload. The upgraded onyx armor allowed me to take a few rocket hits to the face. But if I had known how many barons he'd already spawned, I might have peed my pants.

I've put a good 40 hours into DoomRL over the holidays and polished off a lot of badges. I think it's break time.

-- General ---------------------------------------------------

 Before him 51 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
 36 of those were killed.
 1 of those was killed by something unknown.
 And 1 couldn't handle the stress and committed a stupid suicide.

 Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
 Is he immortal? 13 souls claim to have killed him...
 1 sacrificed itself for the good of mankind.
 12 killed the bastard and survived.
