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. :P
That's fixed for the next release. (Might even be already in Whales' git.)
Or a misprogram of said turret. You need some computer skill to actually set it up correctly, I believe, as they'll sometimes shoot you down for a misprogram.

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

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?


I suspect you would have more luck searching the streaming sites, or going for letsplays off google with the -wow. Ultimately though, game is in its infancy and public awareness is minimal still.

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. :(

Any program that can record your desktop will record the game.

The minimap will be fixed in the next version.

Here's the release 4.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0705tq0jeib864x

The "x"-examine command now has a crosshair, corpses look as corpses and more items were added. Cib fixes stuff really fast.

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?
Because the tiles are 12x16 and the window is of a fixed width. You have to set at least 1024 screen width to see the whole game window.

Well, I've tried Fraps and I've tried CamStudio. Neither has worked. Though I suppose if I recorded the entire desktop via Fraps, that might do it..

I just don't want my whole desktop in the video. I wonder if I could just crop it..

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cataclysm+roguelike seems to have very relevant results.
My posting here, and development speed, will be greatly slowed over the next couple weeks as I'm dealing with some family issues.  Thanks to everyone for your interest and support!

Oh yeah I see what you mean, ofc they wont be able to capture the terminal window separately. Record the whole desktop and crop it out as you said (easy even with most free and/or basic editing tools), unless your software can record only part of the screen which I know most streaming progs can.

It's really easy to crop it in more sophisticated video editing problems (that is, anything but Windows Movie Maker :P)

I'd reccomend Adobe Premiere, since Sony Vegas lags like shit.

I tried this game but I found it really fucking difficult. everytime i walk a while i get ambushed by about 20 enemies from every direction. Am i just playing a difficult mod or something? i only manage to kill about 10 enemies

Don't take Z on out in the open.
Smash down a door when you start and wield the 2x4, it's a decent weapon until you can get something better. And always bottleneck zombies, never let them surround you, if you can take them on from behind a window it's even better.

Also, you generally don't attract that many zeds "just walking". Sure you aren't doing anything else?

And what are you killing them with? Thats important too.

Also it's better to run than to fight in most cases. It's not a gauntlet :).

^That's true as well^
Generally if you're just trying to get somewhere and encounter zombies on the way, it's better to run.
Fighting is for when you get to the destination and encounter zombies.

Whales: Perhaps you could release the unfinished update, and we could do some work on it?
