Recon Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hey everyone! I'm also a huge XCOM fan (who here isn't??) and I'm very excited about all that I've read on the forums. I caught wind of this just as kickstarter went active from reading something on RPS. Btw, funny observation: This is the most respectful forum I think I've ever seen. So, whatever you do, do not give Targe moderator priveledges...he can't be trusted. See you guys out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Excuse me but I am not respectful I beg your pardon. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swe_Racoon Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Well, here I go, I s'pose. I'm a racoon from Sweden, what else to say? Honestly, the name's Kristian, 21-yeard old cook/chef (never did understand the difference between those) in the making, and as the rest I'm pretty much in love with X-COM despite being a toddler when it came out. Got a nicotine addiction I can't be rid with, I like games, and music and Xenonauts (of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Until kickstarter collects your payment when the drive ends you don't get any of the things you have pledged for. That is because you haven't paid for them until that point. Once it ends you should receive an email with all the info you will need.

Chris Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Guys, this is the intro thread. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to clear this out, it's off topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen844 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 So I've been lurking off and on for about 3 months now, but just today found the kickstart demo. Very nice indeed. I really like the artwork, both the main menu screen and the load-out soldier screen and the base screen. The geomap is also very very nice. I've only played two ground combat missions (got the same map twice - fluke?), but it seems solid and in keeping the the X-Com memories so many have. Not really sure how to use med kits, though - and in the base screen I can't seem to buy equipment for my storeroom, must not be in yet, yes? Good job so far and just saying hello. Answers to the above appreciated. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (got the same map twice - fluke?) Not really, the game is still in Alpha so the amount of maps is still quite limited compared to what it will be on release. Goldhawk are prioritizing/focusing on stuff that are more essential to be able to play then map variations. You use the medkits by equipping them, standing next to the soldier you want to heal, right click to increase APs spent and health healed and then mouseover on the soldier you want to heal and press left click. The reason you can't buy anything for your storeroom is that in Xenonauts all the basic human tech is free (aircrafts excluded). This is the way it is intended to be in release, unless Chris finds that it is unbalancing in the beta or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swe_Racoon Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Guys, this is the intro thread. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to clear this out, it's off topic. You may erase the evidence, but our memories will live on! To stay somewhat on-topic, welcome once again to FenrirWolfLord and Citizen844! Hope you enjoy the game and the forum as much as I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuschelwampe Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi there, it's Michael from Germany. I'm a 38 year old gamer, father, husband, making his money as a mechanic at a slaughterhouse. I love almost all sorts of games, except point'n click adventures. Playing just a few minutes and doing some reading on rps convinced me to pre-order Xenonauts. I'm excited to see how the game's gonna evolve over time. Cheers, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You may erase the evidence, but our memories will live on! If anyone has access to alien mind wiping technology round here, it's likely to be Chris. So, don;t count on getting to keep the memories either. Hi Kuschelwampe and welcome to the forums. @Citizen844 - it took me ages to figure out Medkits.Oh, and Hi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvistTorch Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Hello. I'm a newer X-Com fan, first got the game last summer and was hooked by the first, not so much the third. I was interested in Xenonauts upon hearing of it, but the demo with the Kickstarter gave me incentive enough to pre-order the game by backing through Kickstarter. I enjoy other turn-based strategy games as well, such as Fire Emblem and Advance Wars on Nintendo consoles and the Civilization and Heroes of Might & Magic games on PC.

Commissar Pancakes Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hey! Welcome to the forums! Don't mind thothkins, we're going to end up...dealing with him...soon. Speak your mind! We've no scrupples here. Oh, and don't try to eat me...last person who did...well...let's just say his brain surgery didn't go so well...

DarkArk Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) I'm new to the whole XCOM genre and game series. Had heard of it before but hadn't given it that much thought. Then the E3 stuff for XCOM:EU came out and I spent an evening reading everything I could about it, which lead me to Xenonaughts. Was originally skeptical about it, but I decided to give the demo a spin and really liked what I saw. Knowing female soldiers would be in sealed the deal (it's funny the small things that push you over the edge isn't it?). I'm generally a strategy and RPG gamer, which might be why I like Xenonauts so much, since it gives you some of both.

thothkins Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Welcome to the forums DarkArk, nice to have you here. There's no "g" in Xenonauts though unless they're all killed on the mission of course. Welcome to the forums DarkArk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flufball Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I figured I'd rear my head up on here whilst I wait for ITV to finish adverts (hiss) and get back to the football. I was going to hold off till Kickstarter had closed and I was rendered poor but oh well, four hours to go, might as well drop on here.

thothkins Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Gaaaah! the footy's on. Silly 7:45 kick off and not 8:00 Gaaaah! oh, and welcome Flufball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swe_Racoon Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 There's good, better, best and then there's Bayern-München. On the topic of football that is. Welcome to all you new folks! Seems like there's been a minor influx in new people on this board this weekend, or I am seeing things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The kickstarter is ending so it makes sense they are slowly migrating to here does it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swe_Racoon Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Me and sense never were good companions, he was such a demanding fellow. That being said, I wasn't aware there was a Kickstarter community as well. So I do suppose it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flufball Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I wasn't aware that there was a kickstarter community per say? I just held off from posting here until it was all done and dusted. I wanted to make sure I'd actually paid for everything before I started to talk to people. Either way, it's nice to see things progressing. I'm very impressed with Xenonauts so far, even the air combat has grown on me. I feel like a right muppet as far as that goes, as I was rather sceptical of it at first. It's only recently that I've worked out I can do things other than the evade/afterburner/retreat combo. It's suddenly far more interesting than it was when I was simply lobbing aircraft after aircraft headfirst at UFO's until they were shot down.

Tom D.B. Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Hi all, also a backer from Kickstarter here. I must say I was most impressed with the demo of the game. Can't wait how the game will progress with the help of the kickstarter funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
