Trying to play this game and I'm running into a bug.  At the last step of character creation, after pressing '>', it asks, "Are you SURE you're finished? (Y/N)" and pressing Y does nothing.  The game simply hangs.  I'm playing the 1.9.5 windows versions using Windows 7.  I also made sure to run the game as an administrator, but it does not make a difference.

Well I personally like listening to music while playing a game does anyone have any suggestion to what would fit cataclysm?

1. I could see bg music being added fairly easily, but I dont know about general sfx.  2. Music to use with the game? . . . .hmmm, preferabaly something that doesnt stick out in the players face, (ie. Not obnoxious) yet adds a fair bit of mood, preferably a feeling of dread. Nothing like flat out horror, but anxiety and dread help out a lot in the zombie genre. I would suggest something fast paced for horde attacks, but that doesnt really fit with a turn based game. Also, different music between above ground and below ground.

I really REALLY recommend listening to some Super Metroid music along with this.

For example:
When inside science labs.
When wandering far away from towns.
In sewers.

Of course, this is purely based on my tastes.

You're pushing Capital Y, right? The game has some pickyness in which button it accepts.

Are you pressing Y or y?  Everything in the game is case-sensitive.  It is not a bug or an oversight that Y is used over y, it is a feature to aid vikey players (like me).

I think you may have missed the false kill count bug, whales. At any rate, its posted on the fan forums. And if you havn't read through the thread since youre last visit, theres a couple of suggestion discussions.

Nah, I saw it, just haven't commented yet--my free time is fleeting these days!  It'll get fixed in a near-future release.


I have no opposition to putting sound in the game, and actually think it'd be a nice addition; so long as having sound on does not give the player any gameplay advantages over not using sound (like it does in FPS games, for instance).

Ok, good. I wish you had more free time, but when life comes knocking, ya know?

I just noticed Whales himself is posting in this thread. 

Great game guy!  Even if I haven't gotten around to joining your forums yet

Thanks!  I encourage you to join the forums, they're easier for me to keep track of than a single thread, and there seems to be some good discussion going on there.

[jc6036]

Good discussion, but slow discussion.

[Blaze]

Well, sounds I could think of are:

Door/Wall bashing and window breaking sounds.
Alarms going off.
Gunshots - different sounds for different guns. It also makes it easier to tell which guns are louder.
Special attacks such as spitters, shockers, and boomers exploding.
Manhacks and other robots should have make some background noise.
Explosions.

All sounds should have some a few variants available, and maybe a decreasing volume depending on how far it is.

And of course, there should an option to disable them.

Hey, how does internal furnace work? I can't seem to burn anything?

Hey, how does internal furnace work? I can't seem to burn anything?

"E"at it. Clothes, wood, and corpses for the most part. They give power depending on how much they weigh(?).

Note that eating actual food doesn't increase power.
