Thanks. Great game, blasting zombies like a boss with my shotgun while drunk, but endlessly repeating error messages kinda slowed it down.

Big issue. I am/use a German keyboard, and making @ is ctrl + shift + Q here, so I am basically  unable to ever view my char-screen after I enter the game, as they key combo  is not accepted by the game. Also why the numpad doesn't work for movement, I fear.

I will make keys configurable as soon as possible.  My apologies to international users!

I'm not sure if I like the 3 perk/disadvantage limit, will we be able to choose more when we level? I also kept running into DEBUG error things in the top left corner, just stuff like -1 HP or -5 HP and I didn't know what all that was about.

More perks as the game goes on is a good idea.  I have been considering letting the player spend large amounts of XP on character development; e.g. every 5,000 XP can be used as a single character creation point.

I'm also getting debug:health x errors.

All should users set comp mode to win95 to minimize the chance of crashing on the statscreen.

Vista/Win7 users should also run it in admin.

I am so glad you helped with a Windows verision. I started to feel like the operating system bastard child... as if I was on Linux or... *shudder* a Mac. I will be downloading when I get home, playing until my wife gets home, and explaining why it is awesome until she divorces me. Such is the way of B12 favorites.

Lets just all thank the god of Operation Systems that we aren't macs.

Wow. You never want to be a schizo that spawns in a tiny town with no pharmacy. I walked along a seemingly endless road through a forest freaking out until I finally got taken down by wolves, it was fun though.

How do you increase the hunger rate?
Edit:Asking this because I increased the time ingame by 5x so I need to increase hunger by 5x.

Just a couple of suggestions, I've been reading HP Lovecraft lately and I think it could be fun to incorporate some monsters from his writings, maybe horrific creatures spawned from darkness, mysterious sounds at night when you try to sleep, that follow you like a curse, maybe even randomly generated 'deep one' villages, with hidden underground full of mysterious artifacts and danger.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with his works, or you think it'd fit with the feel of the game, but it's just something I thought about this morning as I was making breakfast.

Edit:

Also, I get the following error when I try to make the latest from the repository:

Oh yeah, Eldritch abominations would be sweet! And I think they fit the theme, too.

Edit: Found a typo, it can be a spoiler, so yeah:

Another international side note: I am quite unaware what some of the drugs due, adderall and so on are rather unknown here.

How do you increase the hunger rate?
Edit:Asking this because I increased the time ingame by 5x so I need to increase hunger by 5x.

game.cpp, line 610.  Change (turn % 50) to (turn % 10) to increase hunger 5x.  I am still planning on unifying the passage of time somewhere, so it's possible to just change the time scale with a single alteration, rather than dozens in multiple files.

That error is because you did not "make clean" before "make".

As for the eldritch horrors, they are already in the game.

Explore a lab to the bottom.  You may find a chamber with trapped monsters taking straight from Lovecraft, such as flying polyps, hunting horrors, Mi-go, yugg, flaming eyes, and more.  These also appear in areas of dimensional fatigue, which are extremely rare.

Once you pick up an item, press 'i' to open your inventory, the press the letter for any item to get a description thereof.  Also, wikipedia!

I just thought of something, why not add duct tape to the game so you can tape up windows to smash them silently? And it's duct tape, it could have so many other possibilities!

Ignore me if duct tape and the ability to use it on windows is in the game already.

My character feels sorry for killing their mother. Is this part of the hallucinations?

Schizos are fun.

Also, the police stations need a doughnut stockpile.
It would make them even better at being safehouses.

eldritch horrors

I gotta explore a lab sometime.
