[The Darkling Wolf]

The Vehicle Mod has been updated, for those interested. And I've got a Windows release of it here. (Direct download from git)

[jimbobobby]

I must say this game is rather amazing.
Here is my story, its long though so only read it if you're interested or have the time:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was wandering in a hospital with my companion when all of a sudden a boomer zombie and ordinary zombie showed up after damaging a door. The boomer sprayed bile at me but the door blocked it, after a while the door was smashed so I attacked the boomer and my companion dealt with the normal zombie. At the time this seemed like a great idea but trust me, it wasn't, so after I killed the boomer it exploded and blinded me. I didn't have a clue what the *ahem* fuck was happening so I waited for the effects to wear off. I found that my companion who I shall now refer to as mate did in fact eliminate his opposition with no problem whatsoever but as I looked around I noticed there were around 6 zombies in that room and 2 more down the hallway. I retreated and hoped that my mate would follow closely but he stayed back and dealt with the nearby zombies like I ordered him to earlier, as I thought to myself "I absolutely adore chicken" and headed over to help my mate a couple boomers appeared and one of them sprayed me. My first thought was to save my mate but I had to save myself so I ran back the way I came and after going through a previously opened door I saw a couple spitters (the acid spraying zombies) to my left so I ran right, after around 2 steps the ground around me was covered in acid. My reaction was throw my glass bottle of water at them since I had another bottle and it was disposable, I missed ever so slightly. Seeing as my only option was flee through the acid I did so causing my feet to burn. So after a few boring escapes from zombies while still in the hospital I noticed a large number of zombies with a few boomers and spitters, I entered the door to the north and closed it then entered the door to the east and closed that. In this room there were quite a few items of use, I grabbed a radio and dropped my wooden spear and turned it on. Whilst I waited for the door to smash open I listened to the emergency broadcast repeatedly, the moment it smashed open I threw the radio and grabbed the nearby bottle of bleach and chugged it like there was no tomorrow because for me, there wasn't. I grabbed my spear and lobbed it straight at the nearest zombie which unfortunately didn't kill it, possibly because I missed but that couldn't have been the reason. Zombies poured in all rushing at me in this possibly 3x8 room, the first 3 were boomers which sprayed and blinded me the second they got near me. In a blind and bleached rage I attacked them with my back to the wall but soon more zombies joined, I thought I had killed them instantly but it turned out someone had saved me. The *cough*asshole*cough* who I thought was killed earlier suddenly popped his head in, guns blazing in a heroic yet annoying way. Since I thought bleach would kill me I instantly left still blinded and unaware of my surroundings and rushed out to a nearby crater hoping something interesting would appear. No, nothing nice just rubble and zombies. Hordes of zombies charged at me and Rambo, I knew we stood no chance but we just kept fighting. I knew this was the end, I knew this was fate. Going down in a blaze of glory, hacking at zombies with a steak knife while waiting for bleach or zombies to kill me.

I found a bit of an odd bug for you, Whales. What's wrong with this inventory?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I 'e'xamined and picked up some cargo pants from a dresser, then tried to drop the 'a' pair of jeans. I ended up dropping the cargo pants since they were wielded automatically and must've been assigned to 'a' as well. I checked my inventory after assuming I dropped the jeans, but I still had them on. Then I picked up the cargo pants and put them on. But when I picked them up, their quick letter was a tilde. But then in the inventory it was listed as 'a', shown in the first picture. And that means something went wrong somewhere, but I'm not sure what.

Maybe the first auto-wield fudged up the letter assignment for 'a'?

This is the newest windows build, by the way. Not sure if this has happened before or not so I figured I may as well let you know. I can't seem to recreate it, though.

That sometimes happens when you wish for something or edit your save file to add items.

[Edmus]

I'm not sure if this happens in all buildings but when it was acid raining it came down and landed on the table in the dining rooms of a mansion, not sure if there is a bug with the ceiling or the benches. latest windows build btw.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

That sometimes happens when you wish for something or edit your save file to add items.

I did just delete the entire save and start a fresh character on the new build, so I'm not sure if that's it.

[The Darkling Wolf]

It also sometimes happens for no real reason at all too

[Leatra]

Man, it's been a while since I set my right hand in the HJKL position while playing a game.

[bobusdoleus]

Fantastic game! Where has it been hiding all this time? It's all, like survivory!

But, like... Hundreds of fungaloids? And they reproduce exponentially? Won't my map become completely overrun and unplayable? Like, I'm up for a challange, but infinity billion fungaloids is... kind of unplayable. I get that futility is a theme, but like, I'd like an existing chance to survive and become badass... What do?

[Girlinhat]

Kill the queen.  Bring lots of fire.

[bobusdoleus]

Hard to gather fire while the map is swarming with exponential fungaloids >.<

But this queen thing brings some hope. Maybe if I kamikaze enough characters at it...

[Blaze]

Liquor store + Scissors...

If all else fails you can flee the city.

This seems like an awesome roguelike that I never really tried, so I decided to do it today. However, is it me or are the controls really obtuse or what? They seem really different from any other roguelike I ever played. Is there a way to change it, or at least a comprehensive list somewhere?

[GlyphGryph]

They are practically identical to a couple other popular roguelikes so... no, they aren't particularly obtuse?

Don't know if there's a list somewhere.

[TempAcc]

I don't recall any roguelike in which I have to use K, J, L, U, M, etc; to navigate the character creation menu

Edit: it seems it relies on numpad for movement, which my laptop's keyboard doesnt have :\. Any way to change them?
