  1. I actually have a different take on this. Any exposure for this game is good exposure. For some people, pirating is the only way to get the game. They might be kids, they might not have the money, or some other circumstance. If they pirate the game, the chances that they would have bought the game is very low in the first place. However, someone might see them play this game one day and want to buy it. It could even be the case the the pirate likes the game so much that they buy their own copy or suggest it to their friends. Alot of them might be pirate friends, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't create interest in this game. Thus the game community grows. What happens when the community grows? More fans, more mods, and more support for Chris. If Chris decides to make another game, it could even be feasible for some of the pirates to support it via kick starter. Take the Wasteland kick starter for example. A kid pirated the first game a long time ago because he had no money, but when he grew up and heard of the remake, he pledged 10k to make up for it. This is a special circumstance, but it shows that not all pirates hate developers and want everything for free. I believe that alot of pirates love games (hence why they spend so much effort to crack DRM and put up torrents) and they aren't dumb enough to not realize that pirating can hurt developers. However, it is key that the developers have an understanding with pirates. They shouldn't actively prosecute them, but rather acknowledge their love for the game and state clearly while they understand that developers suffer when their game is pirated. I don't think there should be DRM for this game, because it is futile and only antagonizes pirates. A gaming firm does not want to become a target for pirates. Take EA for example. Alot of people hate the shit out of that company, and pirate out of spite. We don't want that.
  2. Hey Chris, I don't know where to put this, but my browser is detecting malware on your site again. It only happens when I click on the large pictures on the front screen. (The ones that change) Just thought you should know.
  3. It's a preview for the first mod of the game: "ALIEN ZOMBIES FROM SPACE. CONTROLLED BY NAZIS."
  4. Hey, I was the one that posted the picture. My rocket was fired by my rocket trooper. The round used was the red one, or the one that came with the rocket in the beginning of the game. The link to that bug is here: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?1206-V9.1-Ground-Combat-Sebillian-reaction-fire-hang check and make sure we are reporting the same thing.
  5. Me too. It even does it when he's dead. I shot him last turn with a rocket and the alien pop up went away. When I ended turn my screen was stuck on this> I could still hear music but count' move the camera or click on anything.
  6. What's this, delays and radio silence? I thought I was visiting the Xenonauts forum, not Diablo 3. Lol, jk. Unless Chris decides to tease us with a release date "soon" and then proceeds to have radio silence for 6 months.
  7. Those look great! I hope they get put into the game. If not, I guess I just learn how to add this stuff.
  8. During ground combat, my soldier is standing next to a window. I attempt to shoot the window to the front left of him, and he shoots the ground. I manually target the window/wall , not the ground.
  9. It was a window in the barn on farm tile, so it looked like an open hole. I didn't shoot anything through it before.
  10. That's probably it. I would upload a screenshot, but I don't know how to take one or upload it.
  11. During a game, I tried to fire a rocket at a sebastion alien with my trooper. He proceeds to fire into the wall instead of through the window that he was standing right next to. It explodes, he dies, and the game crashes to destktop. This was on the farm tiles. I think it might be something to do with the firm/smoke effects on the farm tiles.
  12. I second that, tried to move a soldier up, and same thing happened.
  13. When playing in the farm tiles, I sometimes see a black space on the map. It acts like the edges, no one can move through it and i can't click on it. The ship I shot down was one scout and it was the new aliens, if that was of any help.
  14. When playing on the farm tiles, I moved a soldier over a hedge. He jumped over it, but during that animation his sprite was using normal armor. His weapon was still the same though. I replicated it with other soldiers.
