HUGE thanks for rotation sounds, that ought to be very useful. I'm liking the menu sounds, too. Very satisfying. The new icons seem pretty readable at a glance, although yeah, you're right in that I'll need to adjust. I am liking how you removed details and highlighted the iconic shape of each entit...

The new pump design looks great :> The pipe with water rushing past the little window looks very fast by comparison though. It looks like there's no way that slow pump could produce such a torrent of water. Maybe the "water-window" on the pipe should move slower, or the pump should move f...

I desaturated everything in settings, but my main issue now is that everything has these artifacts now. You know, that grainy look of a picture that got oversaturated and then desaturated via filters.

and you still haven't added a grenade arc

You're probably already aware, but throwing this out for others too

The one that's a tiny bit game changing and is the one that I think would add the most is MushroomCloud (which has not yet been ported to 0.18). The atomic bomb is... underwhelming. It doesn't need to be more powerful from a game mechanics perspective, but the way it shows up needs to be a little m...

That's us.

No, we are beta testers. Thats a little different.

We are? Dang, I forgot we got a promotion.

I wonder: aren’t there external alpha testers involved? They should must spot mentioned issues.

That's us.

But the red and blue belts are deep, deep into dentist's drill territory. Have already modded them out. The yellow belt is tolerable.

guys.

So it's essentially just down to graphical improvements from now on. Those have been quite hit and miss lately, to be completely honest. The campaign could have been potentially interesting, potentially redundant, we won't get to see now I suppose. What I foremostly had high hopes for though, was th...

I've just got the joke from the title. WOW I'm fast! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Internet_Explorer_9_icon.svg/64px-Internet_Explorer_9_icon.svg.png I assume you mean the reference to Foreigner's 1978 hit "Double Vision"? Yeah it's pretty vague but I saw it to...

The plan makes a lot of sense all things considered, especially the fact that it has to be put together and spit-shined in 8 months and a half. Adding a storytelling dimension can increase dev time exponentially.

I was never much swayed by the big mods like angels, bobs etc., but this one had me intrigued right from the get-go with its strong direction, theme and production value. A truly rare combination for a game mod. Hats off to Deadlock for seeing it through this far, and high hopes for the mod's contin...

hmm, from these graphs I deduce rseding is the only person worthy of the title of the god emperor of mankind. because why not him? kovarex, on the other hand, was actually scrooge mcduck all along. an interesting development indeed the pageview graph shows a clear hedgehog tendency. it is obviously ...

Yes, however at the start of the graph the juxtaposition should be slight, whereas in Factorio it's way out of whack. It takes hours before you even start automating. It leaves people confused and bored. That is an exaggeration. In the context of a new player it is most certainly not an exaggeratio...

Whilst I agree that once you know what you are doing, starting a new game in Factorio can be a little slow, it doesn't take hours to get started (assuming you know what you are doing, and have used the map preview to pick a reasonable map). For me the start of a new game goes something like this. T...

The flow/zone/"fun" is actually a rhytmical progression between frustration/anxiety and boredom. They're both a part of the package. Yea, there is no satisfaction without frustration Getting your first coal mining automated doesn't have meaning unless you went through the pain of mining t...

Not what I meant. By "it plays itself past a certain point" I meant what psychologists and game designers sometimes refer to as "the zone". Simply put, the point where the game clicks and you engage with it without friction, frustration, confusion, or boredom. Even more simply p...

You can't truly appreciate accessibility until you've made a game, had someone play the game for 5 minutes - and then drop it, telling you it's fun but not their thing... far before they even got to engage with the main hook of the game. The most insidious part of this kind of failure is that it do...

That reads so funny to me, I just blindly dropped a couple dozen euro on them before they even had the name of the company figured out. How did you even know they existed? I certainly didn't know until Steam told me about this cool indie game I might like. I'm actively on the lookout for cool games...
