Chris Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Right, just doing a final check before I leave. Yes, expect V8.2 on Thursday. Sorry about the delays. If you want to make a video, I'm fine with that. I think the game is sufficiently polished to start showing off now as long as people adequately flag that the game is just an alpha and is still a work in progress. That's me over and out for now. Have a good few days, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da-Fort Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Ok thanks for giving us permission. I won't be able to make a vid due to time constraints at the moment. Hopefully I should be able to do one around Thursday or Friday after your patch. Edited November 28, 2011 by Da-Fort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straker Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'll be pre-ordering after v8.2 comes out. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazman Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Where the fuck do I get the game? I've had a preorder for a while now (since just before the paypal issues) and I still can't figure out where the hell to get it. I can't find anything linking me to it on the forums or website.

castironrat Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Its all done through a site called Desura http://www.desura.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 And there's no need for profanity either. Several people have asked before about it and had no need to curse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euphoric77 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hey people! Any word regarding what will be in v8.2 and if it is still coming this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Start of next week maybe? Might be earlier though. Next build should have manufacturing, research, UFO in the ground combat (rather than an Evil Shed) and various bug fixes and animation improvements.

What of Soldiers and levelling them? Any word regarding this? Because if there is a (limited) research tree and soldier training/levelling we actually have the first build that has a bit of continuity to play. Well we can only hope I guess! Can't wait!

Da-Fort Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) I don't mind waiting another week to start playing the new build as I know you're working tirelessly on this game. Is one of the bugfixes savegames on the Geoscape? Anyways I don't mind waiting but I would like to know, if possible, if there has been any delays because I tend to stay up around 1 AM anxiously waiting for a patch but that is just me. Doesn't have to be long or apologetic, kind of like the last 2 delay threads. Edited December 2, 2011 by Da-Fort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Soldiers do progress currently. There's just a bunch of odd things happening with it. Savegame fixes should be one of the fixes. No ground combat saves though. Hard to guess at a timeframe due to Chris having to cut his vacation short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazman Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I wasn't trying to offend anybody, I'm surprised that it bothered you really given that you're in Australia. It's just a standard thing here, how on earth were you bothered by it? o_O Unless you're just visiting, I guess. Just to clarify, we're required to use Desura to get it? In that case I'll just wait for the Steam release . We did get promised keys for Steam AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayer_90 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 hi again guys... uum. kinda feeling stupid asking this question... but how can I enter my transaction key or whatev to get to play the builds on Desura ? somewhere a guide for those lowbobs like me?

Sathra Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't really mind swearing, its more the context. Best to keep things calm, stop folks typing stuff they'll regret or cause arguments. Lack of vocal tone and inflection and all that. Yeah, currently its through Desura only. Its easier for the team (since all the new versions are patches on the previous version and everyone has the same version). Still not perfectly sure if its going to be on Steam, but its the planned primary final distributor. Desura's not bad though. Its quite unobtrusive and you can find alot of interesting indie games there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 @dragonslayer_90: Are you a legacy pre-orderer? i.e from the old forums. If so, you should have gotten an e-mail about it. If so, this thread should help: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?183-Dev-builds...-where&p=2167&viewfull=1#post2167 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 V8.2 is due out tonight - in a few hours. The UFO map is taking SO LONG to do but we've pretty much got it nailed now. There's still some peculiar tile behaviours with it but we'll sort that out in V8.3 which will be a bugfix update to fix all the inevitable issues that are going to arise with everything!

Chris Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Starting the upload now. It'll probably take a while - the game's up to 500mb now because of the extra sprites we've added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinetree Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sweet, a real UFO to fight over. I'm going to miss the Evil Alien Shed however, it brought back the feeling of a training exercise from my army days when I was attacking it. The NZ Army in the '90s was nearly broke so we had to use a lot of imagination on exercises, "See that rock surrounded by tussock? It's an enemy bunker. Attack it."
