I just posted a thread on the xkcd forums! Hopefully we'll get more people playing.

NOOOO! Johny jones!

Sigh. Over 10 in melee and piercing, armed with a stabbity stick, level three of the labs, I think I'm doing fine, and then... dead. should''ve watched my health better. On the upside, I was one-hitting manhacks, so they're not too bad.

Your spear gets stuck in the manhack!
The manhack dies!

Whales, are there plans to eventually reanimate player corpses, and maybe the dead scientist/soldier corpses?  If worldgen littered the world with dead people, and some of them reanimated, that would be pretty cool too.

I was wondering if the Necromancers could reanimate non-zombies.  Zombears sound awesome, and should totally continue to exist.  :<

Do you plan to add in (probably rarely encountered) unique NPCs, in the vein of Sigmund from Crawl?

While zombears are fun, they should not exist in Cataclysm universe. The substance has no effect on them, and I think that necromancers' reanimation ability is based on the existance of the substance in dead bodies.

Another "death without a warning". Sympthoms are:excruciating pain, 2 (two) last aspirin taken, full healed (sleeping in the labs is practically always safe, because zombie scientists can not open doors), and after some turns exploring viola - you are dead. According to game.cpp the only way to die is have your torso or head hp reduced to 0. And I've not found any way to die from extreme pain or ever hp reduction from it. Weird.

Here's the 3rd version of my tileset, based on the latest Cib's tileset mod version, also with fixed metal door tiles and a few more item tiles (fire extinguishers, some clothing, containers etc.).

I've also uploaded the output.cpp in that archive.

Found a bug:  You can make a hoodie from 8 rags, and chop it up into ten rags.  If you have no other use for sewing kits, you can profit two rags!

Are there any running Let's Plays of Cataclysm barring Revocane's(still running?) and PlumpHelmetPunk's(stopped?)? Because of a WoW expansion it's very difficult to filter youtube for this game xD

[NRDL]

Managed to one-shot a single wolf by throwing a combat knife at it, at close range, with 2 throwing skill.  I tried doing this to another wolf, but it didn't kill the beast, and I had to bash its head in with a sledgehammer, while at the same time receiving extreme pain.  I've heard the tales of roving packs of wolves, I never wanna meet them.

Most search engines, including youtube, support the exclusion command, try 'cataclysm -wow'.  Though thats still a popular word, just sounds so.... epic.



On an unrelated note, how goes the construction update ?

I tried "cataclysm roguelike", "cataclysm whales", "cataclysm zombie", "cataclysm -wow", "cataclysm -wow -warcraft -blizzard -goblin, today" before posting.

EDIT: I mean, why would I ask otherwise?

[The Scout]

Well, I made some turrets and activated them, but they didn't shoot the incoming zombie hoard. So I just got owned by about 50 zombies.

I've done fairly well with throwing, and throwing small/light but damaging objects seems to work the best - combat knives, hammers etc.  I think it may use the same "moves to attack" as when used in melee.  And yeah, sledgehammer damage is nice but it's sloooow.  Big downside of my Throwing-Dude attempts is the bloody spitters, melt my nice collection of knives   And the precious inventory slots - although in a pinch I killed stuff with things like flashlights, soldering irons(not bad) and lighters.

[GlyphGryph]

Throw rocks at the spitters instead, they are super small and easy to carry around with decent damage.

That's fixed for the next release. (Might even be already in Whales' git.)

I have been wanting to do a LP of Cataclysm ever since I started playing it. However, I can't find a program that can actually record the game.

Deon your tileset version fucks up my screen, i play on 800 x 600 and the text is way too big and the window is larger then normal why?
