The little shop of horrors
« on: July 07, 2012, 11:16:40 am »
 :) Hello gentlemen. Welcome, please sit, relax, and take it easy while I'm getting prepared.

 8) There, I'm ready. As you may have noticed, a new beta release containing farms is out.
 :P While this idea is interesting on paper (because, for once, I don't have the feeling I'm the only one doing something while the others survivors are like "RUN RUN RUN AROUND LIKE A RECORD BABY").
 :-[ But in fact, it's not that interesting. You still have to run around, looking for suvivors to sacrifice.
 >:( And the most annoying feature are precisely those farms.
 :P Hey, I don't know for you, but personally, I feel like Seymour each time.

FEED ME SEYMOUR!!

 :-\ So anyway, I started my game, I beta patched it, and I started having "not enough food" messages.
 ::) I quickly thought "Oh, nothing drastic. I just have to collect a few souls and that's it".
 :( I was wrong.
 :-[ Really wrong.
 :'( A simple farm costs 15,000 $ ($ouls).
 :P While I enjoy killing monsters, I don't enjoy farming.
 >:( And even with that damn farm built, those guys are still crying:
" :'( We lost [USELESS GUY], our lives are worthless! To die or not to die? That is the question!"
 >:( While I'm like "Hey dudes, many of my adventurers died in many horrible ways, torn to pieces by traps, cornered and backstabbed by lovecraftian abominations, or dying from being unable to fly."
 ;) So yeah, my point is, that the first farm should be free...
 ;D ... while the next farm is more expensive...
 :D ... and finally, someone to explain why my survivors are so depressed all the times.
 :o I mean, COME ON! That dude who died was just a chick!
 :-\ Do they care about female survivors that much?
 :D And does that mean I can send skeletron and lizards to death without having my survivors to turn emo and listen to shitty musics?
This is the part where I quote someone in an attempt to look clever? Nah, too mainstream. I used signatures before it was cool.

Note that you can find farms for free through secret missions if you keep your eyes open for them.

And in terms of your NPCs getting depressed, it's nothing to do with other survivors dying at the moment.  Probably it's that they are hungry; but also the more missions they get sent on, that depresses their mood.

Now you've got me interested, for all the secret missions I found offered nothing but wind shelter and ocean buoy. I shall look, explore, and kill every poor sap in my way while singing "I can't decide/ whether you should live or die/ oh, you'll probably go to heaven/ so please don't hang your head and cry" like a master.

Just don't travel to the future, bring back some flying orbs and try to rebuild the time-lords, mmmmkay?

ONE DAY IN HARTMANN-O-VISION:
Oh jooly goody good fellows! I can't wait to play A Valley Without Wind! Now that I've been able to hack my neighbour's shitty 56K connection, I can play online for the first time in weeks!
NOT SO FAST MISTER HARTMANN!
What
BEFORE YOU CAN PLAY ONLINE, YOU HAVE TO PATCH THE GAME!
Drat!
AND WHILE YOU WERE AWAY, THERE WAS 3 PATCHES.
Do you really need to spam caps lock everywhere?
Now that you say it, I don't.
Do I really need to patch my game? I mean, those are only beta updates, it won't hurt if I don't patch it, right?
Sup bro.
Ha crap.
Missed me?
Your picture is too big, you're taking all the post.
What the hell are you doing here?
You recently lost a character because I was hidden behind a decoration, right?
HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT?
Magic.
Thank you, moonhoney, but Spikes can't use magic. I do.
It doesn't matter. You need to update your game. There's a slight possibilty of those items being fixed.
Oi.
Great. I guess there's no torrent, so I have to download the whole thing in one drink?
Someone said something about drink?
What?
This is getting stupid.
MY HUSSIE SENSE IS TINGLING! SOMEONE OVER THE INTERNET CALLED SOMETHING STUPID!
Let's stop here.

Even though the posts you make are borderline insanity, I still find them funny as hell.

I think the spikes are sad they couldn't push it further than "borderline".
