I have gone for the last few years. Not this one as its near my birthday. Sad to see they moved the date so far for this years. If they stay at this I likely won't be going again.

If people don't want to deal with being randomly mugged/killed in MP they'll just have to play on whitelisted / vetted servers. Otherwise you will just get randoms messing about with you.

Ah my bad on the construction worker. Yeah i meant it lessens chance of them happening in first place. Oh well!.

Yup it is doable. But only a tiny % chance. Slightly more with construction worker career.

I only play survival myself. Never bothered with sandbox. But does it matter what others enjoy? Just play whatever way you want.

It's cancelled?!? First I heard of it, but no real surprise there though. Yeah notch is no longer working on it.

Can you imagine being able to eat empty cereal boxes and napkins and tissues? Stuff like paper and cardboard fill your stomach and get rid of hunger pains for a bit but don't give you nutrients obviously. lol Lol? It is pretty realistic for stuff like this to happen in severe famine struck countries.

I won't be bothering with multiplay as I have no interest in it. If the mechanics are revised to work in a decent way for multiplayer I might play some co-op with a friend or two on a private server. But that's about it. Much more interested in the single player aspect.

Similar in the way they are both zombie apocalypses. The game has been in existence long before TWD came to tv though.

Drink some orange soda! Don't eat rotten/burnt food.

Nice to see. It seems to have come a long way in recent years. Really fun.

i got the 20$ backing myself. Wanted to wait till the alpha proper is out. Does look great so far though.

Yes you do. You get a bowl back after eating it. There are different types of salad to. Doh. That's why fricken bowls keep appearing in my inventory. I reported it as a bug the other night. I assume you just thought you ate the bowl with the salad? MMMM ROUGHAGE.

Definitely make it an estimate based on what your character has seen. With plenty of room for error and shady secret deals between party members who might be plotting behind your back.

After posting in this topic I actually took to the suggestion forums with a relationship chart idea, it didnt get much positive response though Probably due to how far off NPCs are. Don't lose heart though. A group relations web similar to how zafehouse diaries works would be great. Charting the general disposition group members have with every other group member. Larger groups would be hard to keep track of your standings with people so something like that will be needed. Even if it only gave a general estimate of your standings with others and their standings with the rest of the group based on gossip you have listened to or events you have actually seen.

We have no hard facts on how this will work. But from what Lemmy has said in the past it sounds like this kind of thing would be ideal. You will have groups evolve based on personality traits. So a bunch of thugs would likely be most prone to being raiders etc. For now though there isn't any hard facts about what the mechanics will be like 100%. Maybe Lemmy or someone else from the team will be able to give a fresh prospective on what isn't/is doable though.

This latest steam beta build is pretty fantastic for me. Great fun.

My general idea will be to build up a clan of weaker personalities and rule like the tyrant I will become. The stronger more rebellious types i can;t get on board as enforcers of sorts will get sent out on dangerous expeditions. Using them as tenant farmers and workers. Feudalism albeit with me having a shotgun. . My goal is to take the motel over in the first town and make it into a fortress when NPCs are in.

This is why i think developed urban areas will basically be the loot mecca of the game to visit. But the risk of being swarmed will be astronomical. And they definitely have stated that as the map expands there will end up being car wrecks, debris and such. And cars/vehicles are going to happen.

Niiiiice one Indiestone

Some time after steam release for sure.

I am not sure. Danger of becoming "tower defense"-like.... Of course such defenses would need to be time consuming and leave you vulnerable whilst doing them so they don't get used too much and only where you feel the time and resource investment is worth it.

Wilderness areas and the current area map fleshed out more. Then once the engine stuff is done go onto NPCs, cars and the other stuff they mentioned is coming. As toehrs have said. They have people focusing on different areas as not everyones a coder anyway. So it's great to hear about future content like this coming whilst the code stuff is being worked on.

Because insanity, inbreeding and such. Look at landed aristocracy in any country. Serious inbreeding and problems that came from close breeding in older family lines. Some families bred close for so long that new hereditary conditions were named after specific family lines that created them. In short. It's bad, VERY bad.
