Liberal crime squad
spelguru:
Will there ever be an updated version of Liberal Crime Squad? Like with more guns... more locations you can visit... a shop where you can buy labcoats and security uniforms... It seems rather stupid to me just to kill someone for their clothes... You should be able to buy them somewhere.

Probably -- it's a matter of time... this quarter is very very tight, since I have to teach calculus on top of everything. For this reason, my programming is down to Armok. I don't want to start a running series of minor version releases, as with Armok... one game set up like that is enough. If I put out another LCS, it'll have major changes. Maybe... like... I have March 17th-ish through April 1st-ish off. Perhaps I'll see what curses games people want to see updated for that time. LCS seems to be right up there. There are also 3 other curses games in process that are a bit larger in scope than the other ones. I have no idea when those will be done.
spelguru:
aw... ma... gawd... A actual answer to a post I made... I am suprised...You know, if you need more time to work on armok and the curses games, then you can do either of two things:
1. Stop sleeping and eat caffein pills.2. Quit working and get hit by a car, then sue the driver for enough cash to support your snacks/soda habits and stay home and program...If you do either, dont blame me for any bad effects that might come...
Aquillion:
One of the big problems with the endgame seems to be that having almost every issue at elite liberal forces people to discuss and vote on conservative initiatives, even though everyone involved is very liberal and the laws have no chance of passing. It might work better (and be more realistic) if whichever group has the majority in Congress has virtual control over which issue is discussed, so a 97% liberal congress would just vote on the same liberal issues again and again until they won. Of course, then you could end up with Congress discussing nothing but one issue endlessly, but in that kind of situation that might be the realistic thing to have happen...Also, I'm wondering if the practice of kidnapping & brainwashing major conservative figures makes the game too easy. Essentially all you have to do to win is kidnap several of them and wait until the nation is elite liberal... Perhaps there should be a chance of some sort of Conservative retaliation that would force the player to go out and do something to stop them rather than just wait for the nation to go liberal? It could be a desperate last-ditch attempt by Conservatives to block the liberal agenda, and successfully counteracting it could give the player a boost that could speed the endgame.
ThreeToe:
Toady and I were talking about having a second version of liberal crime squad where the neo-conservative militias attack your ATF big-government fortress to get thier radio talk-show hosts back. Maybe if more people post about LCS we can drag Toady away from Armok for a couple days.[ February 05, 2003: Message edited by: ThreeToe ]
