Re: [Audiogames-reflector] iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released
Re: iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released @Dark, the solo run can be fairly challenging. Here are some tips that will help.Spoilers lie ahead, read at own risk. Spoilers in 5, 4, 3, 2, 11. You can usually get a lot of leather off of A Gaunt Man encounters. If you travel to barren terrain near the village, you should encounter, them. There are three types of terrain, barren, fields and forest.2. Try to have 100 fur, 100 cured meat and 1 torch in your stores back at your fire lit room. You may get a visit from The Wandering Master, who can teach you precision, evasion and strength perks. The strength perk will let you do 150% more damage with all melee weapons.3. Leave steel to build the water tank, that is the most crucial item.4. Visit towns and cities, there is usually a good chance of getting a rifle or steel sword drop.5. Dying of starvation 10 times will unlock a perk that will let you travel farther before eating meat.6. Dying of dehydration 10 times will unlock a perk that will let you travel farther before having to consume water.7. Dying in battle 15 times will unlock the strength perk (if you dont want to wait for the Wandering Master).8. In the solo mode, all you need to do is find the ship. Essentially, even though the compass points to the sulphur mine, you can skip it completely. You just have to do it without the compass guiding the way.Suffice to say, solo mode is truly a challenge. I hope that these tips help you out!URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=161592#p161592 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released @Dark Ha ha! Your comment about the builder made me chuckle.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released
Re: iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released @SLJ thank you for the warm welcome. Ive really struggled with the description of the game in the App Store. An important part of A Dark Room is the element of surprise when you first start playing. You have no idea what you are getting yourself into. I wanted the game to spread by word of mouth, but I do understand where you are coming from given the array of good and bad games in the app store. Can you think of a description that I could put? I dont want to give away too much of the game, but at the same time, do want lots of people to download and experience it.@SLJ @Dark I took some time this morning and made a few minor accessibility tweaks. I have submitted it to the App Store (it takes anywhere from 5-10 business days for version 1.3 to release). More extensive tweaks will come in February.The List follows:1. Changed history label to speak recent history as opposed to it just being an accessibility hint. It seem that many disable Speak Hints under the VoiceOver options.2. Fixed the bug where the Dusty Path would not show up.3. Minor tips in the end game sequence, letting the player know that there is nothing to interact with and just to sit back and relax.4. Added a hint to an alternate ending once youve beaten the game.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=161218#p161218 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released
Re: iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released @Mord-Sith the initial play through will take you anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. There is an alternate ending too. MINOR SPOILERS10987654321The alternate ending can be unlocked by beating the game without building any huts. Its significantly harder, so I would recommend playing the game the regular way first.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=161108#p161108 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released
Re: iOS text game, A Dark Room, update released @Dark thank you for the warm welcome. Im making a list of all these accessibility enhancements and promise to make another release in February after some time off. Ive been working on this game non-stop for the past 5 months. And please ask as many questions as you like. The games description was intentionally vague (so that the community would talk about the game and let it spread word of mouth). I plan to be very active on twitter and here.Beyond this point lies spoilers. Some minor, some major. Read on at own risk.As far as achievements. Im interested in what the community ends up pulling off. It would be interesting to hear of someone beating the game with only the starting gear. Or beating the game without ever visiting an outpost. Or any other crazy things the community comes up with. I dont want to constrain your imagination.MAJOR SPOILER FOLLOWS10987654321As far as jewels. They come from they appear when the locket does. Hence the alert that shows up Her jeweled locket left behind.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=161112#p161112 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
