Spoilzors!

Chest plates could have a bit more shape and detail.

Also, larger too.

I can't help but say THE HEADS! MY DATA THE HEADS ARE OFF!

Move the 2 first actors' heads a pixel or more to the left

Make that the first three, and move them back at least two

Other than that and the chestplates, looking good! The weapons are VERY fun to use even against regular enemies. This is kind of a misc suggestion, but something like a 'bunker' module which is a remote controlled bomb would be awesome. Basically a C4 which can be placed just under the terrain and detonated maunally. I'm guessing the module would have to be a lump of dirt but with a small hollow in it where the C4 is spawned.

As you said in the post listing the changes, the Dropslug and corpserocket are very ineffective for delivering their cargo.

I'd like to see a wave-based mission where you gain gold for killing zombies, or recieve it at the end of a wave. This would give you time to prepare for the next, stronger wave. Not like Grif's zombie survival gamemode where you're restricted to the house and gain new weapons every time you kill X number of Zombies.

I kind of like the forward heads, when they are holding a weapon it makes them look like they are hunched over it a bit.

True actually, but they're too hunched as they are, it seems.

It looks better ingame, you'll see. I'll make the chest plate larger if it fine with Geti.

I messed with some of the BG's I had in MP3 and that I had made myself and kinda Frankensteined them in to one mess then darkend it here are all the files have made/edited for the scene

EDIT: now this is just SOME of the stuff since amrobotics had returned intrest in steampunk mods is back on the rise, so mine and Dragsters are being converted and enhanced for the new build and I am making a dark and gritty scene for them and some of this stuff is being used in it

Hint at something awesome that Geti already sort of mentioned: All of those soldiers at the top of the page are the same soldier. Think about it.

Also, as for scenes, this is a super-preliminary background layer i'm messing with right now for a city-scene. It's linked for the sake of the margins.

Anyway, lots and lots more exciting stuff is in the works outside of what Geti promised for the next release. I'm not even excited about that stuff, it's sort of yesterday's papers. I am more excited about what's coming after the next release. When the new release drops i'll put up some teasers.

I'm guessing they have some way to randomize their head and torso sprites?


I'm liking the look of this.

more than fine. double the height, preferably. also, see bellow.
im glad you see it the same way as me. it might be good to add a bit of a metal collar to their armour though, to make it seem less.. disjointed. roon, if you would do the honours on that, it would be awesome.

the randomness is something that is going to eventually apply to all the zombies, and all the resistance. it makes the battlefield seem more interesting, and should be amazing once the trenchies are in game (16+ heads, 2-3 torsos for each gender, 2 races)
in other news, the inventory handler is also buggy, so ill be fixing that as soon as i can, which should be tomorrow, when my new monitor comes. expect a release over the weekend, when means me and the rest of the developers can get some work done on the more fun features (as well as copying out a million and one actor sprites <_<).
oh, all the issues with the reactor are fixed, by the way. and the bloated AI has been fixed to be even more aggressive. there are also a few tweaks i want done on the engineer weapons <_<

oh, oh, quick poll, would you like the engineer to have a plasma arc welding torch for digging? im currently hating the jackhammer.

I say go for the plasma torch, a hacky-looking plasma torch.

Jackhammer is for big beefy men, or big hulking steam robots only.

good good.
well, at least one person wants it. somewhere in the next few releases expect a plasma torch for burning things and digging with. itll probably happen once i get the molotov explosion looking as firey as i want it, as itll likely just be some nice sharp glowy particles speckled with short life fire specks.

So, I'll go for a plasma torch, only for the fire though.
Please tell us your monitor's staus?
