Update's going to take a while, the main plot is bugged.  I'm going to try to recover the character.

[Jack A T]

I hate game-breaking bugs.  I hate, hate, hate them.

But Revy has returned.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So...all that. Just a dream.  Huh.

Introducing Revy's new background!  Now with more firefightery goodness!


Time to get a lancemate.   But first, some shopping.

Huh.  That was unexpected.  Well, I got Revy's stuff back, and a new Combat Rifle!  Woo.

Yeah, I can give him the Biskup Engine through the phone.

Plot!

Lancemate's mecha!

Revy: Hey, I'll be alright, I always succeed.

Revy: I'll let you know if I do.  (Yes, the watch is a major item that starts the plot)


Revy and Housz: Hunting watch thieves since Day 0.

The single mecha garrison is easily destroyed by Revy.

Odbgu?  PLOTPLOTPLOT
Housz gets the kill this time, and we loot the body.  The watch is cheap.

Well, the first episode ends with a question: What next?

Okay, guys, what do you want to do: help people, get into awesome fights, make Revy more powerful, or pillage and plunder?

Also, Housz needs a name, and his mecha needs nice colours.

Well we're a pirate, ain't we? Pillaging and looting is what we're best at.

[Creamcorn]

Well we're a pirate, ain't we? Pillaging and looting is what we're best at.

This, with extreme prejudice.

And awesome fights.

I get an error while compiling gearhead 2:

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.4.0-2 [2010/03/06] for i386
Copyright (c) 1993-2009 by Florian Klaempfl
Target OS: Linux for i386
Compiling gearhead
gearhead(1,1) Fatal: illegal character "''" ($7F)
gearhead(1,1) Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)

any ideas on what's wrong?

[Boksi]

Maybe your version of the font that GearHead uses doesn't contain that letter?

[USEC_OFFICER]

If we are going to be pirates, the mecha should be black and white right? (with a little bit of red.)

[Dakk]

Is gearhead 2 still being worked on? The wiki seems like a barren wasteland.

Also, were can I get that sweet version you're using? Plus what are your key settings? I'm trying to find a decent way to set the NE, SE, NW and SW directions on a numpad-less laptop.

I took a quick look at the game's site. It seems like it's a bit lukewarm at this point.

Joseph's working on a really big mess of rebalancing the game at the moment.

That sweet version I'm using has JD's mecha pack from the GH2 forums added.  I have not changed a single key from the default.  There should be a function key somewhere on your laptop keyboard that allows use of some of the letters as a numpad.

Well, here goes another update.  Now with pillaging and plundering.  Trying out a slightly different style this update, feedback would be nice.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Revy: Pillaging and plundering!


Revy: I'm sure you don't...sure...Well!  Time to go to Maquise Spinner, Lava Shark!
Housz: Hey! My name is HOUSZ!
Revy: Sure...sure it is...Lava Shark.

Lava Shark: Seriously, Lava Shark?
Revy: I got the idea from a dream...Well, I've taken the liberty of repainting your mecha for our fleet.

Lava Shark: HEY!  Stop touching my mecha!

Revy: Uh...what?  Damn truckers...

Revy: Peace.  I hate peace.

Revy: Easy money?  Money?  Cash?  I WANT.

Revy: I thought you said you had easy money for me, not for some information seller.  Well, info is nice...*grumbles*.
Qileqq Bep: Eh, maybe someday you can return the favor.  Just remember, there ain't such thing as easy money.
Revy: ...*grumbles more*

Yldhe: I've got some inside info on a ripe target for a heist.  If you want it, it's just $31245.
Revy: I WANT.

Revy: Time to raid stuff!

Revy: I don't like spending money.  DUEL!
Buwosoizy: No. Pay.
Revy: Okay...

Revy: Isn't the Aegis Overlord the evil force?  That means...no moral issues! Yay!

The escort, shockingly enough, falls apart completely in a matter of seconds.  But there's more of them.

Revy: Wait.  I don't like that cannon the ship has.  Let's attract the guards.
Lava Shark: CHAAAAAARGE!
Revy: ...Idiot.

Revy: $156225! To the action!  (sorry, no time for you to choose, didn't know this happens at the end of the battle)

Revy: Why does everyone hate me so much?
Lava Shark: Let's see...you robbed a weak merchant ship, slaughtered its crew, blew it to pieces, killed the entire garrison, looted the garrison, danced around in the wreckage, announced it to everyone in the sector, bragged about being the best pirate ever...

Nothing really here for you to choose, sorry.  Feedback?

[Hugehead]

BURN LOOT AND PILLAGE MORE!

[Josephus]

DESTROY! DESTROY!

(Also, pillage.)

THHEEEEEESSSSEEEE!

Also, most of the dialogue was kinda, meh. As for the last few bits, GENIUS!
