Okay, the narrator during the tutorial being interrupted by your genius demanding to know why she is being told what to do rather than giving orders herself is a very good sign for the game's humor.

That's promising. I didn't preorder on principle but I'm really hoping the game turns out well. Got a lot of hope (and hype) riding on it. Hopefully it keeps holding up.

I enjoyed the game but there was far too much early 2000s jank. I'm going into this one blind aside from what I've read here. Can't wait! papersack fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Mar 30, 2021 |

 There are certainly some fun schemes in this game. Also, I'm still in the tutorial, but I've not really had any issues with heat or money? Maybe it'll get hard once I'm out of baby mode but so far it's been pretty smooth.

I was playing the tutorial introduction bit and was really enjoying myself until it crashed  . Before it crashed I was doing rather well, but I'm suprised at how much power everthing uses. I had a large room full of generators and it wasn't enough to power what I assumed was just a small base. I think that later on I'll get some more powerful and more effeciently sized generators that will solve this problem. Another thing that happened was that I sold a bunch of casino junk but I didn't have enough space in the vault to store the money, meaning that I think that money was lost. Oops!

Only 90 minutes in, still working through the tutorial but seems to be what I was hoping - a modernized, updated Evil Genius. Happy so far!

When they tell you that higher level criminal networks give access to better schemes, they aren't kidding. A level 2 network (requires 3 broadcast total) just gave me access to a ~250k cash over 1 hour scheme. It requires some upgraded minions instead of workers to run, but still. E: 100 heat capacity and the scheme generates 50 heat.

The fact that they have to say "YOUR MINIONS WILL NOT RETURN." so many times forces me to assume that directing play testing was a loving nightmare

If there is a crash I would recommend checking the integrity of the game files see if anything was broken in the download. Have had no issues myself though.gimme the GOD drat candy posted:what exactly unlocks the research tiers? t2 just kind of popped up after i did a couple projects.

it'd sure be nice if you could place all the objects first and then draw the room around them.

You can just draw a too-big room then shrink it down after placing the objects. But yeah it's kind of a pain - another thing that's a pain (always is in games like this) is for example not being able to afford setting up all of my corridors right away because I can't afford it, then being forced to build rooms on a side of my base I don't want them in  I just Cheat Engined myself an extra 100k at the start to place corridors

Too early to say a lot, but so far it seems exactly like what you'd expect out of a modern remake of the original game, haven't run into any crashes or bugginess (aside from trying to capture one of my own minions leading to hilarious pathfinding.) Have some UI complaints, but other than that I'm real happy with it so far.

God I am so happy it's easy as heck to re do your base layout now. I moved my power plant and vault and other than getting the cash for it no hassle involved.

I love these vacuum pack things all the minions carry around

I find the replacement of unique world map challenges with a ton of repeatable ones that last a short time very annoying. You keep having to bounce back to the world map every few minutes to select a new generic scheme

I'm stuck in the tutorial. I'm supposed to recruit henchmen, but I can't find them on the map and the tutorial guy has stopped telling me what to do.

This really is Evil Genius 1 with a lot of the unfun bits removed, and a lot of fun options (more base layouts) added so far, but I'm still working through the tutorial as well. Also:  Edit: Castor Poe, are you recruiting Workers or new tiers of Minion? If the former, you have to build a rest area and add lockers; if the latter, you should look at the world map for little green diamond pins in the map to show you where those capture missions are. You may need to build a prison first if you haven't. skeleton warrior fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Mar 30, 2021 |

That's my thoughts as well. After playing EG1 in November this game just feels so much better to play.

I'm not in front of my laptop right now, I think the quest I'm stuck on is called 'Keep Your Enemies Closer. I've already built those things and had no issue finding green mission icons on the map before. MonsterEnvy posted:Did you start the side story for the one you want? I have no side stories available atm. The game stopped telling me what to do upon completing the technicians quest (kill 3 investigators). I guess I'll just start over.

Anyone figure out how security cameras work? I have a bunch of guards sitting around the guardtable doing gently caress all. My screens are manned, but guards dont want to respond without me directly telling everyone in the base to murder the investigator.
