I once played a PS2 game where you're a dog, I think square is bark and circle is bite or something like that. Didn't play much, but got to jump over a fence, and seemed (probably wasn't) to be a sandbox. Any ideas? It's been bothering me slightly for years and years D:Dog's Life?
Lights being shot out worked in Thief, I guess because we can sorta believe that that guards just thought that torch went out or something on it's own. Though you might think it would be their job to re-light them, they are a primary tool of keeping watch after all, right?The fully lit torch suddenly went out and there's a mysterious puddle of water around it. Though I guess that's on par with dragging away dead people, leaving trails of blood and no one ever taking notice of the blood nor the person missing. Stealth game tropes, I guess.
I have a vague memory of an RPG mechanically similar to the Avernum series where you control a party of 8 Orcs in a similar sort of underground environment. It had a similar sort of demoware business model from what I remember too.Natuk?
I'm also trying to think of a DOS game. The graphics were textured 3D, so it had to be made around 1994-1995. It was a pretty straightforward racing game, except for the huge loops, jumps and other things that couldn't possibly exist in real life.Whiplash/Fatal Racing?
Though be warned, Apoc is known for having one of the worst endings in PC-gaming history.Wha? It wasn't that bad. I mean, the cinematic was sorta weird and cheesy, but the actual ending seemed reasonable. Or do you mean like the end-game missions? Either way, I've seen much worse.
I have unsolved murder. Is there a way of solving it?Build a morgue?
Well, what gives me hope is that I think one of those involved once said more or less "If we can't program in reactions to a party of dryads entering a town, then we won't put the possibility of such a party in.". Like basically maybe NPCs will react differently to different races? Then again, that might've been Tim Cain's words and he's been saying he's not in a designer role this time.-They're still thinking of the races, but apparently humans, elves and dwarves are in. They call these the "recognizable" races, and they're also considering "out-of-the-ordinary" and "truly odd" races to put in. And since they've now reached two stretch goals encompassing a new race, hopefully we'll see something more interesting among the playable races.
out-of-the-ordinary races sound's interesting. Hopefully more interesting then the usual Human,ElvesHuman,Dwarvesstubby Humans etc. Im also interested in how "out-of-the-ordinary" races would work with the gameplay. some slight stat adjustments, or something quite different?
Hopefully its not too D&Dish, in my opinion it does not very well on a computer.
Still, its a fantasy setting. While new, creative races are nice, there's a reason while elves, dwarves, and usually some form of orc or goblim is the main-stay for fantasy settings all over. Everyone recognizes them, and everyone knows exactly what they are.You know, the most interesting thing around in terms of popular fantasy right now is Game of Thrones. Not an elf, dwarf or orc in sight in that one. What I'm basically implying is that the only element of familiarity people need is humans. It's alright, you don't have to rip off Tolkien's/D&D/whatever race archetypes, you can move on. Do something new. Just have humans around and you're golden.
You can sort of do that with a metal detector. What it does is it'll alert guards to prisoners carrying something and the guards will automatically search them. I put one at my cafeteria entrance and found a hacksaw and a drill among the first 8 prisoners.Yeah i have seen that...I have gotten into the practice of random searches though...just every time I have a lot of people in one area I pause and select most of them for searches.
They still manage to slip lots of stuff though...which I love...its one of those random elements that helps keep the game interesting.
Oh also search people when you get them in...cause I have found guns and knives and drugs and all kinds of crap on new people lol.
I think the game should implement a processing center, where new inmates go/get searched/get assigned cells and such.
Anyone else having an issue of not getting drains to work in the showers? Or is it supposed to fill up with water?I think you're supposed to place drains at the entrance to the showers so that it doesn't spill to other rooms.
