yoshimura Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What's the "Bleeding wounds system for soldiers"? Do they have traces of blood on tiles when they move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivisector 9999 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If soldiers take a big enough hit, they might start bleeding and losing HP every turn. This was a feature of the original X-COM, so people would be upset if it were missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betuor Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 My calculations suggest 12.25 times better, and that is a mathematically demonstrable fact. Did you remember to calculate in over the pie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm still miffed about losing a guy in the cruise ship of TFTD because he bled out before I could get anyone across the bl00dy great map. Bah! Just a couple of decades there, and I can't let it go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Did you remember to calculate in over the pie? Yes but it was chicken and mushroom. Maybe it should have been a steak pie? That would change the outcome a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raziel1981 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 so....now with 13.2 out there, anyone wants to start betting if the crew will manage the V14 release on time? My personal guess is that they won't make it to the 18th but probably a few days after the second suggested date for V14 (26th of August).

PRiME Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Yes 4 days to get v14 out is a bit tough. It all comes down to how much head-scratching goes on. Hopefully not too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Geez, barely had a shot of 13.2 here. Bloomin' developers doing lots of work making their lazy public look bad. What's the world coming to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my prediction, as well. They were a couple days past due when they rolled out v13, as I recall. Of course, given how long some of us have been waiting for Torchlight 2, that kind of delay is barely worth mentioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering how long we've been waiting for a decent XCOM successor I can certainly accept a few more delays. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping so hard for Xenonauts, because for someone to finally get a remake right after so long (and so many attempts) would be pretty mind-blowing.

targetbsp Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 i hope someday anyone will make the old xcom in HD textures and win7-8 support:) Also check out The Two Sides. Though it was pulled for copyright reasons, it was almost complete from the playing as the humans point of view and you should be able to find it in google.

cyllan Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 well well it is finally happening.....i guess for next game you will use kickstarter right away!!!!!!! once the game is out are we going to get an email with instructions/keys to download it ? i haven't downloaded a single beta ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) .... I predict with some certainty that while the final release may be delivered differently, there isn't any need (on Goldhawk's part) for the beta to be updated and delivered in any other way than the alpha has so far. Perhaps the regularity of updates may change to reflect the goals of the beta (say, once a week instead of every few), but it will essentially be the same cycle of delivery-feedback-work-delivery that it's been so far. EDIT: And it isn't happening YET. So chill, or you'll hurt something. Edited August 19, 2012 by Max_Caine changed setnence so it made sense.

Gorlom Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) well well it is finally happening.....i guess for next game you will use kickstarter right away!!!!!!! That... sounds like a bad marketing plan. The kickstarter campaign had a lot of strong points. Some of them only because they were so far in the development that they had something to show for it. Some because there was a commonly shared longing for this type of game. (that are now somewhat satisfied and not something you can count on again. We don't even know if Goldhawk will want to produce another game in this genre.. they might decide to go for a different genre) Going directly for kickstarter the next time around without investing enough in the game that it will be released whether or not the campaign is successful is most likely going to backfire. It won't seem as serious and may be seen as a quick cash out or something. I really hope goldhawk does not do that. once the game is out are we going to get an email with instructions/keys to download it ? i haven't downloaded a single beta ever Yes. You will be able to choose between desura and steam keys at least. Goldhawk will have to contact you in some form.

thothkins Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I agree with Gorlom...excuse me, I must wash my mouth out... ... Having a playable alpha, having really atmospheric art... making it X-Com related which is the only reason I got here...having a solid forum with a groundswell of support (a huge plus)... catching Kickstarter during an upswing of interest in it... all big pluses. Being able to say that the game would be complete even without Kickstarter was a big plus too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 To disagree with Gorlkins (the weird Gorlom/Thotkins hybrid) I think a kickstarter could actually work out. My reasoning is that 1, Goldhawk would already have a released game to their name so a bit more respectability than other projects. 2, Goldhawk also have a successful kickstarter behind them to further increase confidence from the funders. 3, Having completed the previous kickstarter project and made good on what was promised as well as going the extra mile could well persuade people to give that little bit extra cash because they know they will get what they are paying for. I have to say though that I don't think the kickstarter route will be anywhere near as popular now that it has passed its FOTM peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Gauddlike do you think the second kickstarter will be more successful if it launches at the development stage of double fines adventure game's kickstarter or at the development stage of Xenonauts kickstarter? The issue wasn't IF using a kickstarter campaign but rather WHEN. (At least that is how I understood it and what I meant when I responded to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I don't know anything about a double fine kickstarter. I am assuming from context that it was an earlier stage than Xenonauts. I don't think it matters either way. Early stage ks would be good for people to feel they were getting on board early and supporting the guys who made their favourite x-com remake. For the reasons I stated above the funders could have a good amount of confidence in Goldhawk being able to deliver a finished game and to deliver on the promises made. I personally prefer to see a late stage KS though as I don't like to pay for something that doesn't exist and might never exist. If a game is far enough along that I can see what their vision is and how they have managed to realise it so far I am more likely to get excited and spend money on it. I think it is unlikely I will bother using KS much though, the novelty wore off pretty quickly for me. I don't have the sort of free cash to splash around on games that have not been made yet and can't afford to go above the bottom tiers anyway.
