So when does the Poll close? 24hrs 48?

you need funds to rehire them, otherwise it would be an exploitative. Costs nothing to fire, but you pay a months salary upfront to hire.

I think the missing female portraits have become a component of the Xenonauts debate and it might be worth factoring in a rewards tier... say those 35 portraits are real women at $200. It would reignite higher tier interest and the pledges would be the cost of implementing it. Also you would have 35 satisfied ladies.

Also while we make our choices the 50-500 tiers need fleshing out with ideas. You have 1772 backers. If 300 could be persuaded to up their pledges you get an extra 10k. Just make sure its digital extras between the 50-200 tiers. You also need a new 200. Having it sold out is 1 less pledge.

Make sure the cost of each 1 is included- so it is clear

I think the main issue is the corpse left when you stand on top of the dead soldier and check the inventory. It would be better if it was severely wounded looking soldier, not one who looks 5hrs dead.

Goodluck with setting up the poll. Hopefully you get enough to add all options

post in bugs thread. Believe it might be a known issue

Currently saves after battle though I think a quicksave option would be good so I can choose to save before a mission.

3 suggestions that would send Chris to an early grave Not putting down, would be great, But each one involves re-rendering all the sprite animations several times over. Look in you xenonauts\assets\units folder and laugh

I am passing on a request for an in game tutorial It could be a more complex interactive one- or it could be a hit next option describing the layout Break it down into different categories, so you don't have to play through the whole thing, just the bit your stuck on. Geoscape, Research, Manufacturing, Intercept, Base Management, Ground combat. I think we sometimes forget that not everyone has played xcom, or that not everyone who played xcom understood xcom.

Im torn, I like the new UI style and how it is more uniform. But it would also be cool to have progression model in the barracks with a gun rack etc, though it then comes down to have I actually made the gun in the rack.

Passing on a suggestion Include a tutorial

Be prepared for scary looking eye candy

Dont worry 10.3 includes the heart update where you can A) Burn out your enemies heart with the power of Fire B) Poison your enemies with windpowered bodily gas attacks C) Extinguish your enemies hopes with the power of wet stuff, aka water or D) the ultimate option, just end the war with the power of Frigging love, which not only causes monkeys/whales and baby rabbits to fall in love with your xenonauts, but also causes the alien forces to offer you foot massages and pedicures.

Levels are made up of a random selection of submaps. A submap is a pre-created area with a preset size say 15x15 10x10 25x25. A level is made up of a range of these, depending on the size. They are placed in a pre-selected pattern Submap sizes can be mixed to create a more organic feel. When each submap is loaded, it doesnt just use the same one each time. There is a bank, say 6 for each part of the map and the game randomly chooses which submaps are used. Therefore a level might have 10 submaps in it, with each submap chosen from a list of 6. This gives each finalized level 100's if not 1000's of possible permutations, where one level might be similar and another totally different.

Chris has said female soldiers if implemented would get 1) new portraits- maybe 30 2) Female versions of the armour equip screen -for all armours All sprites on the battlefields would remain the same- once you have armour on who can tell.

Chris highlighted this last week as an area that needs fixing. Grenades often hit objects mid flight and dont look very good.

Well I have started playing many games as female characters for some variation. Also do not discount an increasing number of female gamers. I could name 30 who play pc/ps3/xbox/portables

Sounds like a bottleneck/bug in the transition to geoscape- i get it alt-tabbing

The UI is getting an overhaul now through kickstarter so hopefully this could be implemented, I enjoyed he colored bars of x-com.

Now you are going to totally confuse any unlucky backers who fall into this thread. 10.2 has meant that Buzz Armour was un-invented and replaced by the new Eve disguise, which requires players to search, as yet incomplete/not started jungle terrain for powerful rainbow leaves that will protect your essentials through the power of nature. Also known as The Armour of the Gods, or I wonder why the Greek civilization collapsed suit.

They are basically fluff. They currently just fill out events in countries to give a feeling of impending world doom. Later on terror missions pop up and you have 2 choices... Go and save the city ...or ...erm.... something painful happens.

All of the original post looks awesome. Maybe add in some new missions types/ defend the airbase etc
