Terry gets an OK heal, but I think he's mostly there because of all the dumb games where picking the option that seems like a sacrifice always ends up netting you some awesome reward later on. The old wifehater/story teller guy seems to get a stronger heal as he levels up.

I just hit the second area and whored myself out to some dudes. It was really fun and I hope to do more stuff like that.

Somehow, I made it through the first roulette section without losing any of my dudes. So far so good.

Is grinding your dudes up worth it though, considering it is so easy to lose them in the game?

Not really no, having a strong Brad is always good but I always found it really easy to replace party members who had accidents. Grind if you absolutely need to pre-boss but otherwise im pretty sure the xp system is designed to keep your party around the level it should be., which is 3-4 levels below what you want it to be.

It seems like you just get Joy at various points throughout the game. I've been having Brad not take any Joy, and it seems like it takes longer for withdrawal symptoms to occur now than they did at the beginning. This also leaves Joy free for the party members that also need it.

Here's a short list of controls I found after dying immediately after the first fight (protip, don't walk off cliffs).

F1 - Game options
F2 - Show FPS (title & task bar)
F5 - Toggle between fullscreen/window mode
F6 - Change between window sizes (1x/2x/3x)
F12 - Back to main menu (this should be changed/removed)



Please add to the OP.

Ending discussion don't mouse over:

Nanomashoes posted:

I only took Joy once (at the very end because the last gauntlet is loving impossible if you're in withdrawl). Does not taking it/taking it all the goddamn time affect the ending? FYI my ending was Brad becomes a mutant and eats Buddy.

Kinda. Brad still becomes a mutant and sneaks up on buddy but you do get an additional scene for the joyless ending. I don't know if it's sequel bait or bait to play again and do alllll optional areas/unlock all characters or something, but the scene is basically (another spoiler field in case you want to get it yourself) ... The researchers from the suburban area are talking to each other before the apocalypse. The head scientist confirms and expands on the stuff you would have read in the area, Joy was made for military benefit, the military decided it wasn't useful but the head scientist wanted to make Joy the way it is to 'make his own world', or at least he thinks he did (it seems like he was already joy'd up). He also mentions he will use "Nancy," his daughter in the new world which disgusts Buzz, the research assistant (who's also the guy who force fed you Joy) but Buzz decides to stay for 'his own reasons'

Nanomashoes posted:

Is there any way to get past the blob of flesh on the resort island?
Any way to get into the Joy lab in the suburban area, or to fight the giant mutant in one of the basements that you can see from another basement?
Where are the fishmen?
Edited: No idea about any of this, but does anyone know if making Buddy refuse to hug Brad saves her? At that point Brad was already clearly too far gone but I thought it'd just be too cruel to leave him hanging.
--
I just speedhacked my way through the game. In the joyless ending at least, the screen blacks out just as you reach Buddy so it's not known if she's okay, the head scientists name is Yado and he keeps calling Buzz, "Bernard" the names might be important when the devs release the stretch goal stories from the kickstarter.

Some stretch goals were additional content (for everybody), I've played the minor ones but not really sure if the big one is in game and I didn't complete the requirements for it, or it's yet to be released.

As far as I know, the only way to speed up the intro is with Cheat Engine's speedhack or something similar.

Do the snakes respawn forever and theoretically let you get infinite EXP?

I wanna see if I can grind my way to taking out the joy mutant that you find after the first Karate Dojo


Also, about Dojos. The first one does eventually give you a defence up item, idk if it's worth it though.

If you really feel the need grind, the shadowy figures in the pitch black tunnels are random encounters. They don't give as much exp as snakes but they won't regularly murder you and they also drop magazines, jerky, and cola.

I'll probably play it when I'm watching something and see how badly it's possible to break the game. I guess I could use cheat engine too but that's cheating. :colbert:

What button opens your inventory? I've only managed to do so because the B button on an Xbox 360 controller opens it but I can't figure out what the keyboard shortcut is.

Is that after you build the boat to go after Buddy?

Two more questions; how do you progress on Resort Island, past the mutant blocking the stairwell? My best guess would be TnT but I can't test that out since I don't have any anymore. And is it possible to open the hi-tech door past the experiment town? I just want to make sure I do everything I can before crossing this apparent point of no return.

I basically stunlocked him with tripping until I got bored and used one, then he died instantly.

Also does resting outside ever not have bad things happen? So far I've had Olan run away, had magazines stolen, had everyone get badly poisoned and woke up with one of those weird smiling masks the Joy dudes in the warehouse had...

Jump on the dresser in one of the rooms in the second floor and then jump up again and you'll go through a hole in the ceiling.

We don't know but probably not.
