    Bug free release and closed testing is better considering the last test build,people didnt get that it was a test build.

    I'd be sucky at testing too :P Was in the Microsoft Flight Beta and got bored of that and looked to KAG instead as it was more fun. XD

    And I try to be as nice as possible with people, especially if they are asking something and I either know the answer or just a speculation. Means that they are at least being listened to by someone, even if I don't know all the answers. :P

    I mean I have been here for like 9 days and I love reading things by people, especially if my messages get likes. Makes me feel like I am doing something right. :)

  4. That's the way to go. Stay awhile and sooner or later you'll get well known. Especially if you are in-game a lot and not just a forum dweller! Getting in with well-known clan members like Action, YB, HA, POWER, MOLE, etc helps a TON.

    Well right now, I am a forum dweller as I am still getting used to finally having a PC in my room, so going through a lot of games. Will settle down though soon enough...actually...might gotta play some now.

    -gets his bow and runs into the battle- Still gotta get used to cutting trees though xD

    Edit: Also, I really need to get better at the game :(

    @"Geti doesn't code" - that's wrong actually. I just don't do as much of the heavy lifting in the programming department.

    AJ and Hippo are on the money when it comes to why we're doing closed testing.

    Slopes are technically "in" but aren't working as intended yet - players can't stand still on them, they just slide down, which makes them useless as stairs (imagine your player sliding down stairs the whole time) and frustrating as hills. As such we're holding their official release until afterwards when we can spend some time on the needed hacks to make them behave more usefully.

    Fire will be coming later, once there are wooden structures to burn and fire arrows to shoot.

    Trust me (and MM and Shadlington and Contrary and all the other testers) when we say there is a crazy amount of extra stuff in this build, not just zombies.

    So wait, you will be replacing square blocks with slopes that join up when places together? since i thought the whole point of slopes would be for people to slide down, not walk up or stand on.

    Cool! Now I can blame you and don't feel guilty about it :p

    I like the way you guys aren't giving too much spoilers. Don't ruin the surprise!

    I remember reading up a lot on those Wang squares during my 3 hour break between classes after MM mentioned it on the blog. I made sure to understand how they sorta worked so that I could appreciate randomly generated maps more, but how it's coded into the game is beyond me! The randomly generated dungeons turned out nicely though.

    Actually you have an interesting idea there. Reminds me of Mario or something and it would make for a nice defense that spans over a wide area rather than just having a single wall or cliff. I'm just thinking Geti wants slopes to eliminate the need for jump spam so that they can add a stamina bar or something. Maybe you could build both slippery and normal slopes in the future.

    Afaik, you'll be able to hold the down key and slide down a slope.

    Just a note to all those wishing they could join in with the testing or just 'play the update as is': there is a lot of new stuff in this update. Not only can sifting through it all be tedious+painful at times (like trying to come up with new/untried ways to break the game); but, even when you're not actively testing one particular bug, something else will unexpectedly break and ruin the game for you. We'll hunt down all the rouge insects and have Geti & MM squash them; but in the meantime: ugh. :huh?:

    Please trust me when I say that you're the lucky ones. Seriously. ;)

    Woop! Perfect for a quick getaway.

    Well...if you really think i'm lucky, then i'm fine with this. :p Hell, I thank you and the other exterminators for hunting for bugs. :3 I could never look for bugs as i'd get bored and wouldn't know if things were intentional or not XD


    Anyway, i'm off for ze night as it's 4:40am! Will be back to hassle you people maybe tomorrow. -flies off-

    So much to think about... Zombies... At the moment I haven't heard anything about difficulty yet or how they act (I don't wanna know) but it would be interesting.
    Also would you call me well known?
