The Long Dark in spring sounds so weird to me, like every mechanic in the game revolves in some way around the cold and that's what makes it so good. I trust the devs tho.

The geomagnetic storm could like, alter the season so that the spring, summer and fall are all relatively short and the winter very long. Idk, sounds like a huge amount of work to balance it. I mean, surviving in the forest in the summer is a peace of cake. Even the northern forests are filled with food up until the snows come.

Maybe the current sandbox is actually set in summer, and winters will be so cold you need an environment suit to step outside.

If this game becomes unreal world I will be so happy. Stockpiling food and drying meat in the summer and fall to get you through the winter would be so cool.

I would kill for a co-op version of TLD. The game mechanics as they are prevent it though.

Yeah basically turning TLD into a deeper Don't Starve would be awesome. If you start in winter and end up burning through a lot of the pre-disaster resources spring/summer/autumn could be tension building as you race around trying to prepare to survive another winter with less salvageable resources. Sounds like with planting/expanded fishing planned you'd need to move to more sustainable surviving and less can opening.

I'm more concerned about NPC implementation than seasons. Half the appeal of TLD for me is the solitude. Just you, a shitton of wolves, and the snow. So many other survival sims have hostile humanoids/bartering/etc that TLD's current state is a breath of fresh air. I've already seen the devs say they don't want a slider approach to sandbox difficulties*, so the player's stuck with whatever approach they take to NPCs. *Which is a shame for other reasons - I'd love to have the weather & item spawns of higher difficulties with the animal behavior of lower ones. Dyna Soar posted:The geomagnetic storm could like, alter the season so that the spring, summer and fall are all relatively short and the winter very long. Idk, sounds like a huge amount of work to balance it. Food would decay much faster thanks to increased heat and humidity. Paths over rivers and lakes have to be changed once they melt; knowing where bridges are suddenly gets a lot more important. Some areas may even flood, particularly near the mountains. It'd be a lot harder to see bears & wolves when they're not against a white backdrop; they could also get more active in the warmer months. I still can't picture it being as hard as winter, but there's plenty of ways to avoid it being a cakewalk.

And they should also merge in My Summer Car for maximum Finnishness. Fight off a bear with your (metric) spanner then drive 50 feet down the road in your shitbox before it explodes in your face and your stuck in a random marsh and it's 40 below.

I'd love TLD to turn into a 3d UnReal World, but considering it's taken them 2 years to get to this point it will probably take a decade to even reach all 4 seasons.

Considering UrW had been in development for like 20+ years... I think it says things about both games that they are at all similar. E: re: the forest - last I heard it took them like a full year to implement a vault door

The TLD guy strikes me as someone who loves going outdoors, whereas toady made a game about making self sufficient caves for entire races of agoraphobic troglodytes.

I once looked at the Unreal World guy's blog and I got halfway through a post describing him tracking a lynx's pawprints before I realized he was talking about real life instead of game mechanics.

I wish there was a way to craft components in Sheltered, or that the recycling center didn't take so long. I'm in dire need of more valves. Couple of tires as well; I'm four achievements away from 100%. EDIT:  This thread gets so few screen shots.

Did they keep it so you can harvest/repair clothes from the main inventory, instead of going to the clothing menu first? Because that was annoying during the test branch.

Was there ever a thread for Miscreated? Started playing with some friends, then went solo and saw a server called Goon Squad and played on that a bit. I know its probably not other SA players, but thought I'd see if anyone else plays on occasion.

I think the face thing is just an art style thing? It always seemed odd to me in the art for story mode, but you don't see it in game before this update so it never bothered me.

nothing wrong with the art style per se, just the chalky white skin and rosy red cheeks makes them looks exactly like clowns. such a weird choice.

The Forlorn Muskeg has NOTHING. I spent several days looking for any shelter at all besides burned out buildings and caves. Survived two wolf attacks and several sprained appendages before I found the railroad (where a bear was hanging out) and booked my rear end to Mystery Lake. Hello lake cabin, my old friend.

yea I sort of wish some clothes, "mysteriously" re-appeared or something, as my interloper gal won't be able to use much layering since I harvested all the clothes I didn't need (what few I found of course) in every area. Either I make extra crafted clothes or take her to the Muskeg, but it's a pretty huge risk due to exposure, let alone animal attacks. It is rarely anything better than ~ -15°C on that save but typically the only thing I'm doing is fishing anyways. I went out there with my Stalker save and yea it is pretty barren with some exceptions (burnt out workshop with the forge, derailed train, some caves, hunting boxes).Admiral Joeslop posted:All my old saves were invalid according to the game. Which is fine. really? that's weird :S Mine worked out of the gate yesterday unless some update since broke 'em. I haven't noticed any but I hope they fix whatever weird pause is happening after eating/drinking soon.

Was just playing a Osiris:New Dawn. It's still kind of barren but the art team for this game deserves mad props. It runs great and looks wonderful. I got to watch a meteor shower wreck my poo poo and then wreck me because I built in the middle of an open plain instead of near cover.

O:ND looks cool butquote:Osiris: New Dawn is a really big, ambitious game and we are a very small team. quote:“The release date for any game is always a moving target. With Osiris we not only want to build a ton of content and features into the game and planets, we also want to build out a fully realized Solar System that can be visited with each planet providing a unique experience for version 1.0. We estimate it will take about a year to get there.”  See you in 8 years or something (right about the time they release the second planet and alpha 0.6)
