Regarding my feedback on the signs to the west of the base, while they are now rotated correctly, the ones pointing back to the base now dont have their line of text on them. They are blank. Posted here and not in bugs since it's technically not a bug.
Edit: Even more blank signs.
Near tr_1:
Edit 2: Sign near Foxtrot:
Also the sign at the intersection to tr_2.
He's talking about garbage ball rolls, which have 152.7 volume. For reference, the shovel is less than 30 volume.
+1 for drastically downsizing the rolls volume
in 0.8_c they were massive, in 0.8_d they were back to normal, and in 0.8_e theyre back again to being massive
its hard to tell if this is a way to nerf them or just a misplaced decimal
Yeah no I'm having the same issue. normal individual unused garbage bags are heavy as all hell. I'm only able to hold about 7ish, and I'm on 0.8.0e. Used, filled up garbage bags however, are completely normal and fine and I can hold the usual 100+
You might have to save up and buy the power-washer, I agree that cleaning the windows is a bit of a hassle though... and, I'm not 100% sure about it, but I think the windows will get dirty again over time.
The power washer is somehow worse and slower than the mop at cleaning those windows. It will only clean the exact spot where the water jet intersects the window, whereas the mop will affect a small area around the mop head. This is annoying because if you point the same power washer at an Ariral wall graffito, the whole window-sized decal will go away all at once.
One of the cheeky aliens left a “big sponge” the size of a dang watermelon outside the base where they like to scatter strange brownies and graffiti. I haven’t tried it yet because it’s a full quarter of poor Dr. Kel’s inventory – and frankly also not sure if it will explode or tempt me to eat it instead.
For me its annoying as I'm not a fan of horror games. I really struggle with them and the last two updates of the game have been a great way for me to get into it without it being too scary or in your face about it and a big part of it for me was being able to see outside to watch your surroundings and make it feel less clostrophbic.
I get it makes it harder to keep an eye on it but its just a bit annoying to have to do and I find myself struggling with both washing them and having to power though to get that visuality back.
It is very unlikely that the developer will release this game on Steam. And if it does, it will be in a few years, when you completely forget this game.
Tell me you haven't read the game's page without telling me you haven't read the game's page.
I believe doctornose said he would put it on steam but only once it's out of pre-alpha or alpha
Gonna add to it to make it grammatically and socially more correct.
Wenn du mit einem Schlafsack in der Höhle schläfst, holt dich der Antibreather (Scherenhand Monster) aus der Höhle. Das ist um einiges sicherer als rausklettern zu wollen.
You can still type for the keypads, press the numbers on your keyboard while hovering over it
Думаю, что жажда - это слишком. Игра итак относительно сложная, а добавление жажды может её сильно усложнить. Чтобы получить пригодную воду для питья нужны деньги, которые на первых этапах будет очень сложно получить. А грязная вода, как ты предложил, будет давать негативные эффекты.
Помимо еды, которую разработчик сделал в несколько раз тяжелее в этом обновлении, нужно будет с собой носить ещё и воду.
Конечно это можно добавить в игру, как экспериментальную функцию или мод, но никак не по умолчанию.
i don't remember when you could do that without turning off the utilities power, but you can keep them always open by putting a prop between each door
that's them fixing the doors not staying open when blocked with a prop, not removing it
still might be broken though
Yeah nothing in the game gets stopped by doors anyway so it’s pointless to keep them closed. I’d make my base on top of the radio tower if I wanted real safety.
same, but wouldn't prolong the development process to generate specific Linux scripts and windows executables?
all cables are already able to be retracted, there's a green ball at the start of every cable that lets you retract them including on kerfur
also, there's already a purchasable alternative to the bed and fridge, it's the minifridge and sleeping bag
Yeah, you can reset them, but when you start moving them the cable extends again, only Kerfur can disable its cable. And I know about the minifridge and sleeping bag, I said regular bed and fridge
1 kind of exists as a bug right now for hooking specifically to objects. Hold the hook, stand over the object, toss the hook straight up, hook the other end to the object, and let the first hook land on the object. One end of the hook should be hooked directly onto you, note that this breaks and requires you to redo it if you ragdoll.
the "snow mode" is highly experimental, you have to expect some bugs with it as well as with pathfinding because of the ice
you have to note that this update heavily changed the terrain's shape, this version hasn't been out for long and it's still being patched
yes, I said that. Still felt right to point it out so people know what to expect.
And yeah, I understand and should've mentioned that, the new terrain didn't cross my mind as I was typing because Kerfur-O does manage to navigate well a lot of the time, just of course when the issues do arise, and they do more often because of course, new terrain, it does get frustrating quickly.
as cool as your idea go, we all know that we'll stay both in the base while kerfur0 will get the hash or something
but yes, multi would go hard
read the quick faq, it's extremely likely that they never will because it requires rewriting a huge chunk of the game
i really think if the frame gets that loud when it's fully upgraded, built walls and other items with solid collision should be able to muffle sound just like map geometry, i really hate it that you have to spoil how an entire area or room sounds because of how loud it is without any way to muffle it
i would suggest adding plugs to somewhere like the bunker but, telling from how you can't turn the lights on in there i doubt the bunker has power, as well as the fact that some also want to try and use the bunker as a room too
you can destroy them by bashing them with a tool, takes an awkwardly long amount of time for it to break though so i recommend using something strong like a crowbar or even explosives
I agree with just about all of this. I stream the game, and whenever I need to alt tab to mute mic/soundboard/touch OBS - it switches everything on my two monitors around and is awful. Definitely need borderless window mode immediately. Alt+Enter windows it, but then when you click resume and enter the game again, it goes right back to fullscreen. Sort of infuriating.
This would be amazing. I would love to have like a command center monitoring the whole area.
The 0.8.0 changelog mentions some changes to shadows (don't know if in general or for performance) so it could be related to that, The 0.8.1 changelog mentions better performance so it might help/fix this.
The main issue with changing the health is then the other better weapons would make the fight even easier.
You either leave the stronger melee weapons untouched but then the fight would be way easier with them.
You could also nerf the stronger weapons, too, which is honestly fair. 30 damage compared to the crowbar's 10 at the cost of a bit slower swing speed (doesn't even affect it being better) is a bit much, I feel it will make the post-nerf boss(es) kind of a pushover from what I am seeing.
ATV audio for acceleration is wonkey, it should have a smoother transition. for example if you tap acceleration you can hear the start of the audio clip in a harsh way. The audio should have a rise to max rev. If that makes any sense.
Dr. Kel needs to have like a 6th sense instead of [save: NULL] indication. An audio cue or the character voicing that "something doesn't feel right."
Some examples could be:
Heavy breathing, breath fog , a quiet heartbeat, scratching noises, directional whisper that makes you turn in the direction of an entity you shouldn't look at [don't look reference], screen effects depending on the entity like tunnel vision, inverted colors, or vision like you are looking through a broken mirror with it's slightly off plain of view.
Making the moon bigger is a good idea.
You can put a Majoras Mask reference with this suggestion too. I never played it and yet the image still freaks me out.
It would be funny if you can change the moons reputation based on how much cheese you eat.
A Trip To the Moon reference possible (where the space ship crashes into the moon's eye).
Wallace and Gromit (a grand day out) references possible (which had a coin operated murder robot in it)
I think using AI music should be considered or even used as a starting place to add more music. Suno.com
ie use AI to create the song and then pay to have it recreated by a musician on fiver or something. I am sure Patreons have skills that can be donated.
Fair point about the AI, but I think AI is a good starting point to doing projects.
Getting new ideas on how to arrange songs or musical concepts.
Crunchy Spectrogram Instrumental Example
I actually posted this and opened up VOTV and realized that there was already musicians making stuff for the game.
I guess that is kinda lame of me, but it's too late to undo.
Currently in sandbox, will likely be added in story at some point. You currently toggle though different zoom levels, even being able to see things by the fence fairly clearly from the tower at max zoom.
Ты играл в игру хотя бы? Какие пугалки и крики каждые пять минут? Такого и в помине нет в игре. Ты будешь засыпать за рутиной, когда появится хоть что-то, что может напугать
(google translate) Я думаю, он имеет в виду, что не хочет, чтобы в игре были скримеры каждые пять минут. Однако она должна больше стремиться к жанру хоррор, потому что это и есть хоррор. Прямо сейчас вы играете в незаконченный продукт, поэтому в последующих обновлениях она может стать еще страшнее, чем больше mrdrnose добавит в VOTV.
It seems it will become optional to fight in 0.8.1, eventually running out of fuel. You likely miss out on the rewards, though.
This game is about trial and error and that is what is scary about it. Once you know how the mechanics of the monsters work, it becomes much less scary. You have a couple of options that aren't so bad.
one thing you can do is use the yellow Mailbox mechanic. place all the things that can be put into the inventory and start a new game with the gear you put in the mailbox.
I had a similar problem. I couldn't figure it out so I took all my stuff and threw it in the yellow mailbox out front and tried again while trying to avoid the triggers of that event until I am ready. Maybe it has to do with the number 66.6 and something about the time idk but my second playthrough hasn't had the event?
Small Hinty spoilers, there is a pipe in the vent in the work room that is slightly ajar. You can open by throwing some stuff at it. Just be careful when it drops ;)
The pipe has a slow attack speed, but does more damage.
The special Kerfur skins should really just deactivate from the EMP effect rather than break apart like they do now. Hell, them breaking into special parts like the main colors instead of their crafting materials would be great, I don't even bother with actually using the special Kerfur skins for tasks cause anything destroying them can make you easily lose them with no direct way to find it's parts other than blind guesses.
This is a dark game. It includes elements of radiation, progressive biohazards, existential dread, and potentially, eventual death. It is quite direct and minimal in the depictions of hazards in general. It would be… jank to insert confusing new names for something there’s already a very easily understood shorthand for. So there’s that.
At the same time… Dr. Kel’s symptoms are in actual fact much more consistent with (comically rapid) acute radiation exposure syndrome or even radiation burns, which tend to be the things that kill you at short timescales. It would be rather nice if we could call it that. If he’s taking any medications, they are things like potassium iodide and chelating agents, but most games hand-wave over the details of how radioactive contamination actually works.
For examples of how this is approached with at least diegetic effectiveness: see the Fallout series.
Cancer is the thing you get later if you survive all that, but Dr. Kel is not at the base long enough for such to develop. Unless it’s some kind of weird violently accelerated alien cancer. Then you might as well call it Bao disease for all the help that man will give you, I guess.
It is a dark game. While we're going to dark places, Dr. Kel's in-game experiences are rather consistent with real-world symptoms of longterm carbon monoxide poisoning. Now that I think about it, there's some good evidence that Dr. Kel is hallucinating every alien encounter due to inhaling some sort of local poison. But I enjoy speculating about these things; the ambiguity is fun, because we get to interpret for ourselves what's actually happening.
Anyway, no big deal. DrNose builds his game however he wants to and I like that. This is just my personal response to 0.8.0, so I hope the feedback is helpful. Others in this forum seem fine with the sudden addition of a terminal cancer mechanic. However this specific thing is a hard-pass stopping point for me. I must exit the wild ride.
The performance of the new enemies currently seems to be.. suboptimal to say the least.
Would be cool if you could sort the cameras in the computer. It would make navigating the cameras a lot easier. Maybe there could be a arrow (where my arrows pointing at) that you could hold, and then drag and drop where the camera is, or maybe a button to sort by alphabetical order. Like if you agree
