AliensRL / Re: AliensRL 0.8 Beta 2
« on: December 11, 2007, 15:46 »
YASD! Unfortunately the map doesn't seem to work properly. Or are the aliens just roaming aroung after they've eaten the hero's remains?
This far three of my space heroes have got bored to death after they've searched for the power armor with no avail. This one pulled himself together, fried the alien queen but got killed while trying to spare some smartgun ammo. I think the game works excellently when it comes to tactics about choosing weapons and armor. Maybe your armor should also affect your movement or does it do so already? That way it wouldn't necessarily be wise to look for the power armor. At least there would be some solace after discovering that you can't find one.
Also it would be great if you could find a sound for the alien crawling out of the ventilation. I think it's one of the best features adding to the atmosphere of the game. They get me almost every time as I'm tap-tap-tapping along a once cleared corridor or room.
There's a minor bug with the autoaiming: When you shoot aliens in a row, aiming at the closest one, next time your target is the last one of the row. I figured that the autoaimer simply reckons the last alien that got hit but you might know better.
Anyways, by far the most annoying thing is what Newts already mentioned: the grenades act quite absurdly when thrown past a target. It doesn't make sense that they only deal damage when aimed at an alien. It would really add to the tactics if you could clear dark rooms by blindly throwing frags from outside. Though it would make the storage tower somewhat unruffled. I like the idea of dud incendiaries. Only they shouldn't occur so often, when you throw an inc against the wall or on the floor. Maybe they could also burn down walls, if thrown against one? And maybe the technician skill should affect the chance of failing to detonate the grenade.
Kornel, I deeply thank you for your efforts. You have the aptitude and patience that most roguelike geeks only dream of. The features you've been promising for future releases seem marvellous. I'm really looking forward for new betas to be tested!
