XboxPants posted:"Serious fuckup", you say that as if you expect games to never break throughout the entire development process. I expect games to break throughout the development process, I expect them to be loving working when a "stable" patch comes out and if enemies are not fixed and the general public has to suffer through this unkillable first boss do you really think that's gonna bode well for anyone?

Vib Rib posted:No, but try reading the post. What's better, a delay? Just as many people will call that a "serious gently caress-up" as would get upset out about a super-tough boss (who by all accounts here is no longer unkillable, just really tough). And that's why I said early access is awful, because there's a chance they'll have to choose between "release flawed patch" and "release delayed patch", and both choices will be wrong according to the community. Tiyuri did say he thinks it'll get in. Do you want him to promise features to you? In early access? You really think that's what'll improve things, after everything we've seen? Game development is just way too much of a crapshoot, even for more experienced devs than Chucklefish. They plan on fixing the NPC armor but they aren't going to promise it, because if something else more important comes up, like a really intractable hard-crash, they're going to re-allocate the time to fix that instead and they're not gonna feel bad about it and it's not something they can prevent happening with 100% certainly like you're asking for.

XboxPants posted:What's better, a delay? Absolutely yes. Absolutely, undeniably, and unequivocally, yes, a delay is better than having your first actual real stable release in 9 months be one in which the unskippable mandatory first boss is borderline unkillable because the armor system is totally fundamentally hosed.

I managed to get past the dumb first dungeon btw, there's about four of those axe dudes, you hit a button on a robot and get your magic crystals, then you get FTL. After that there's no quest as far as I can see, but there are a bunch of planets I can't go on because I need upgrades that as far as I know, I can't make, because I have yet to find any titanium and I already unlocked all the techs. Hooray for freedom I guess.

It's...an unstable release though. It specifically mentions that it's unstable right there in the title. I mean yeah the whole unstable/nightly system doesn't make any sense when they're just going to throw up a random nightly as the unstable without actually making any attempt to stabilize it but this was not intended to be a stable release.

Kly posted:do you think any of the folks who used to work for chucklefish mention their work on starbound to prospective employers? or do they fill in that three year gap with other little things theyve done instead? "I spent X months/years on this project and here's the page showing the several million dollars in crowdfunding we got when we opened preorders" is not going to be the negative you think it is. You'd need to have some special (or fairly public) fuckups for experience to be actively held against you more than having it help you in an interview. It's not like people put out DNF or Daikatana and suddenly get blacklisted from the videogame industry. It doesn't work that way. Any employer's going to care far more about "can you do this poo poo our job requires" and less "how mad were nerds about something you previously worked on." e: It's like when people thought Julie Uhrman's career is going to be ruined by the OUYA, when she can go to an employer after that finally dies and show them "look at this piece of poo poo I came up with and look at how many millions of dollars I got for it. Imagine what I could do for you with a product that isn't a massive pile of poo poo!"

Nice weapon mod  I was looking into modding because I want instruments that act as weapons. the idea is you play whatever song you've got set by holding down the mouse button. Colorful notes are shot out at the enemy and deal damage to them.Or perhaps the opposite; a bard class-like weapon where your little notes heal yourself and allies instead.

Why would you laugh? The guns are awful. I have yet to find one thats decent. Keep finding lovely ones with super high fire rates which means they will do poo poo damage becuase of how npc armor works.

IronicDongz posted:Maybe you shouldn't talk poo poo when you literally don't even know what you're talking about? Im playing the current Unstable. I started last night when i got home from work, those zombies are really easy to kill with melee. Those first ones i destroyed with a 2 hander. After you get hit twice, you run around while using BANDAGES to heal. Simple strat. If you fail at that place then you suck. I died once in there becuase i pulled a stupid and jumped off a high ledge with super low health while dodging one. Went back in and killed everything. Simple. Edit: For Victrix: Ook, bad choice of wordage for me. What i should have said was "I havnt used a gun past the first one i got, then read what Tiy said about them and what everyone else said, realized how lovely they were unless you get a REALLY high damage slow shooting one, and have yet to find one."

The armor bug for NPCs only seems to be an issue if you like quick attacking low damage weapons. If you prefer slower high damage weapons you probably won't even notice the bug.

Yeah, when Dongz or whoever made those videos of the nightlies things were basically unplayable, but they've been changed quite a bit for unstable and have been upgrade to merely "super hosed up but playable if you avoid certain types of weapons".

How was it, in this regard? Were its attacks more predictable than those of regular enemies? (in a good way)

XboxPants posted:I asked a question about combat on the ama and got a response about that boss... Yeah definitely. The fight was relatively easy because of it unless you make stupid mistakes. I can live with that. Almost died with the boss at 0 bars of health because i said "gently caress it" and kept attacking when i should have been healing. The only boss ive been annoyed with though has been the Penguin Pirate ship. It hits really hard and takes so little damage. Half its attacks dont have wind ups of any kind and its just a nuisance. If i had a good gun it probably would have been easier. But shields are the key. I suck at getting the parry, but the shield saved my rear end. edit: The Mech fight was one of the most enjoyable because it allowed you to actually defend yourself effectively, making it a risk/reward kinda fight it you wanted to kill it fast. 2nd edit: So.. i just hit full Impervium gear. Still havnt found anything relating to ship upgrades. Also just maxed out my Matter Manipulator. ... I want my ship upgrades got damnit. grimcreaper fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Dec 21, 2014 |

I remember watching... I think it was Ratchet and Clank? A let's play by some developers of the game itself. A sort of unofficial dev commentary. Anyway, they mentioned that when they were testing the game for balance their advice was to play it with your feet, since when you've been creating it as a full-time job you know it inside and out and are at an expert level that you shouldn't expect your players to match up to. Might be useful advice for Chucklefish.
