Hey guys. Sorry that the game's a bit of a bear to compile and stuff. As noted before, this is an ALPHA version of the game. The only people with whom I've shared it have been fellow game developers, folks who don't mind compiling stuff themselves. I didn't expect it to "leak" and blow up like this.
Big thanks to all of you providing compilation help!
As far as Windows versions go... yes, a stable Windows version is one of my "prerequisites" for going beta. However, I don't own a copy of Windows, and I'm mainly working on this thing for my own amusement, so to be quite frank I don't really care that much about porting it right now. Yes, I'd reach a much wider audience, but remember that I don't want to at this point!
And yes, it's also a chance for you Windows users to feel the pain of Linux users when it comes to a lack of native games.
Inventory stacking is coming, one day. I realize that lack of this is extremely annoying! I'll set it to high priority.
The 52-item limit (after stacking of course) will probably stay. And not only because of the technical issues; it's also a way to discourage mobile hoarding and force players to pick and choose a little bit. Also, it makes it so 0-weight 0-volume objects, like lighters, still have a "cost" to carry around. However once you can stack all those boxes of ammo and bottles of water, it shouldn't be nearly as big an issue.
EDIT: BTW, is it normal to walk a few yards outside of town to find basically a bunch of scientist corpses loaded with implants and mutagens, around a heavily trapped area that has absolutely no buildings whatsoever?
Yes, though you are lucky to do so.
News: You can apparently overencumber your MOUTH by getting a riot helmet and a filter mask.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. WHAAAAAAAAAAT. That... MAKES NO SENSE.
Edit: Oh, there's a stat for it. But still, how do you encumber your mouth? Shouldn't it be your head?
Mouth encumberance represents the added difficulty of breathing that wearing objects there has, and causes a minor slowdown in movement. Try sprinting with a scarf over your mouth--you'll find it's more difficult!
Okay what the hell? I was all happy murdering zombies out on the streets and eating squirrels when all of a sudden it starts raining ACID?? What?
It's basically a Return of the Living Dead reference (except this rain won't bring graveyards to life). I realize it's a bit brutal right now, I'm going to tone it down.
Did you try pressing Shift + Y or N? That seems to be a bug.
It is intentional, to prevent players using vikeys from accidentally answering questions. Once I have user-defined options, I'll let players toggle this, but for now it'll stay.
~ turns off debug messages. NPCs will turn it on themselves if they freak out; if that happens, hold spacebar until the messages stop, then hit ~.
EDIT: Banks are coming soon guys, sorry for the delay but I've been enjoying a social life and stuff
