Sorry but i don't want to search the entire thread to find out but how do you get into the closed alpha for this game?

You wasted time: There's no way into alpha now, only a handful of close friends of the devs are in alpha, and there are no announced plans beside releasing by the end of summer it sounds like.

[Toady Two]

Ah sorry. it seemed like some of you guys had some inside information.

Given how easy it is to heal and stock up on tons of healing... You don't ever need to die.

The reason the LP is taking a long time is because they are taking it FAST!

Nothing more than the Let's Play videos they've been posting on YouTube.

It's actually interesting. Seems like most of the time when an Indie game gets mentioned around here one of the devs usually shows up before long. Not so much this time though. So it goes.

And because they're so very bad about dying. I keep hoping they'll notice how low their health is and use more potions, but no such luck. I hope that's just the players and not the control system preventing from quickly using the potions though.

From what I seen... the controls. You don't seem to be able to hotkey them

I dunno, Red's underwater brawl in the last episode showed him using potions pretty easily (and it seemed to restore air too).  No, there doesn't seem to be hotkeys.  I'm really really hoping that's either not true or just there yet, and that they'll add them.

I've had this pit in my stomach since I saw that comment about the game being XBox compatible, that they were being sucked into the mindset of professional crossplatform developers, and intentionally hobbling the controls from the start so they'll never need more buttons than an XBox controller, even when playing on the PC.  That's probably just paranoia speaking though.

Is anyone else curious as to what's up/left from that first pool in the first cave in the LP?

probably nothing.

Were it not randomised I'd have more faith in awsome treasure, creatures, or unfiltered awsomeness... So really it is the experience as a whole that you should be more interested in then "what is around the next ben"

Yes... I am a very sad person... 

Also if your impatient and cannot wait another second to play the game... Jump into the IRC chat. It sucks any joy you might feel for this game rather effectively. Heck I already don't want this game not because I think it will be poor but because the community is so mind ogglingly annoying I am afraid I'll see them again.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I was thinking more "is there any ore up there?"

Also 14 is out

You better thank me... I had to sit in the IRC chat for this info

Except maybe death, since early on, they mentioned that death is eventually going to have more consequences than just teleporting you home (I think they said dropping everything you're carrying, which is gonna be an issue with the spawn-rate what it is).

They mentioned that loss of all equipment was the original penalty for dying, and that they'll probably just make you lose money, although I think losing a single random item (or stack of items) would be a bit more suitable as a penalty than "oh, you'll have to go make more money to use the services of the NPCs."

Im in for some hardcore death penalty on bay12 server. Loosing is... you know.

Oh boy, this underwater mining is so dwarfy. I wonder if you can build base in underwater cave. Some kind of siphon entrance (thank god for missing hydraulic pressure) and pump out watter from the living space. 

[Tilla]

They've already responded pretty positively by making the Death Penalty optional on a server-by-server toggle basis which I like. No need to alienate anyone this way.

I've seen gamemakers' Let's Plays on YT.

I need this game. If only I had foreign monies called 'dollars' :C
