Re: [Audyssey] A Dark Room hard mode questions
Hi Sly. Spoilers ahoy! Where are you in the game? The builder does disappear very much later on, but only when you have visited the Iron mine, coal mine and sulphur mine, have the alien ship and are collecting alien alloy, and by that point you shouldn't need the traps. You only lose your equipment if you die in the wilderness, either killed in battle or by hunger an thirst, or if you leave it on the ground in a loot scenario. Hardmode is! hard there is no doubts about it, though to make life easier I did write this guide: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?id=13639 which hopefully should be helpful. Hth.

Also i am wondering you find a knife, you return to your village and then it's gone,? Same with Riffles and swords are they only good for one adventure?

Re: [Audyssey] A Dark Room question on collecting fur
Hi. The reason your getting the mistake in fir is that the game doesn't credit the fir to you immediately when you check the traps, you need to wait for the history at the bottom to update which it does in real time to tell you the amount of fur you have. There are several ways to get fur. Firstly, make sure you have bates for your traps, if you have bate they will bring in about 10 times more fur.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Well, I did put a link to it on the audiogames.net db page for A dark room, however to make life easier here is the direct link. Just bare in mind this is a hard mode only walkthru, ie, no huts or building production buildings, on hard mode you have to find everything through loot or trading with the merchant.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Hi Paul. Well just as with A dark room I've finished up spending a very! long night playing the Ensign. Beware! secrets ahoy! Once I got past the armory things were fine, though in my first game unfortunately I managed to do something very stupid and head back to the swamp without enough water so died of dehydration, the Admiral then gave me his Catana plus iron armour flask and canteen, which was helpful. I'm now on the hunt for alien alloy. I'm a little disappointed that the game has the exact same ending as The ensign, though the durability on weapons means you do keep needing to visit the various dungeon locations to get replacements, though i reallyam missing the amulet at the moment sinse searching for bore holes and battle fields is a very slow process. On the plus side, the merchant is awsome, and i finally discovered what eyes and teeth are for, very cool. I'll look forward to the secrets you mention sinse I did enjoy those in A dark room and I'll watch out for that vo issue, but contacting Amir the developer of the game is fairly easy, he's been on audiogames.net and is always available via twitter and other contact. His own website annoyingly seems to give a 4004 at the moment, but hopefully it will be back up soon and you can get in touch with him that way, (heck I was just on there last week looking for announcements about The Ensign).

Maybe the game actually keeps track of your deaths? Regarding food, I thought that was the difference between accepting food from the admiral at the start of the game and not, ie, if you accepted food from him you got outposts that you could revisit but only two spaces on the map for each item of food, but if you refused food from the admiral the outposts vanish after use, but you move four squares for each one food (like the slow metabolism perk from A dark room), and monsters drop more flesh. Hopefully just as A dark room told you about hard mode in the end, The ensign upon completion will give you some ideas, indeed I already know there are speed run bonuses that you can get sinse I read about them in the upgrades, hopefully though as with A dark room you'll get the guidance, though I must admit I might e-mail Amir and ask for a little clarrification on some of the rules sinse the Ensign seems a lot harder to get into. At least though I know being slaughtered by the defector isn't it, I really was stuch on how to deal with them!

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Hi Dark, I actually never realised the compass in dark room or the ensign guided you, I'd just never really given it any thought and assumed it just pointed out the direction you were facing. This is probably why I was struggling to complete dark room on hard since I've been exploring for what seems like forever trying to find one of the last parts of the game, still completed it yesterday on hard so that's all done so I turned my attention fully to the ensign, I think I'm close to the end of the game, I think I found the bit you had reached and died but have now got past it. I've put the details below and since I think your already there shouldn't be a spoiler to you, but read at your own risk just in case you're not there The ensign Spoilers below So I'd found the places to upgrade gear then all of a sudden a defector appeared on the map and started to track me, I tried to get back to the swamp since I was pretty low on gear and food, but couldn't get there, but still thought it shouldn't be too bad until I saw his health of 199! And for all my trying he was just far too strong I only managed to get him down to 141 before he destroyed me and I died. I started the game again and the defector was straight there on the map and armed only with fists I barely managed to even injure him. Decided to give it one more go, only this time the admiral gave me a weapon to start with and also no defector , got all my gear upgraded nice and quick then when I met the defector he only had 60 health. I've met a few of them now and they've all only had a health of between 50 and 70, so I'm not sure if the game is designed to adjust the difficulties/defectors health if you fail at first. Anyway almost at the end of the game now, the main issue I'm having is I seem to have run out of caves so weapons are in sparse demand for me, also I noticed the outposts seem to disappear after you re visit them which makes food a bit more of a valuable commodity in the ensign Enjoyed playing the game though , so thanks for the recommendation , although I've put a fair amount of time into getting where I am now so would be gutted to die and have to start all over so fingers crossed I make it to the end Paul Lemm -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2014 7:16 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Hi Anouk. glad your enjoying the game, it is a very awsome one and one of my favourites. Beware! spoilage ahoy! If you haven't visited the swamp, do so after you have the gem for another special surprise, the compass will point you there as your last destination. The Lockit helps you find alien alloy, the brighter it glows, the closer you are to a bore hole or battlefield (though on rare occasions you can also find alien alloy in the city). Enjoy the end of the game, then after you finish you can try hard mode, and The Ensign, which is harder still. all the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
SPOILERS Hi dark Well i could not contain myself and restarted playing yesterday evening from scratch. Needless tosay i am now dead tired but mostly satisfied. I also did some googling, the desert rat and slow metabolism perks come in great handy. I am now also an all-out extreme bare hand fighter. Also i again used the merchant forall my materials except for the sulphur which i could not get from him. I had 60 hunters and 20 trappers and i made sure to check the traps with bait before they reach 1000. I have all the structures now, i also found the starship and am upgrading the hull to its natural max (here i am using the bores). Should i now still need the compass? And hwat is htis compass-like jewel for? I think i have not discovered evetyghing yet but i can now start the starship. Thanks for the great help!

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Thanks Dark, See what you mean about it being an expansion to the dusty path, kind of a little more like the dark room on hard because of the limited resources. The weapons having a durability adds an interesting challenge to, knowing that your weapon only has a certain lifespan means you have to be slightly more careful with when you use them. Although saying that it was probably my downfall in the first game I just finished playing, as I died when I encountered an enemy with 40 health and all I had was fists and a knife with 0% durability. Not sure if it's a bug or not but I noticed that if you die and restart the punch level up doesn't seem to reset, not that I'm complaining that's been helpful in the next game I've started since its not gone back to level 1 Paul -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Friday, November 28, 2014 7:22 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A dark room. Hi paul. Good luck. I confess I've only got so far, but then aain I've only had a couple of major goes at the game, but I really want to see if I can do better. The game is essentially, as the description says an expantion and a tougher version of the dusty path from the original Dark room, but with perminant death and some different places to go as well as some other options and activities, I also believe there are some different endings, but I've not finished the game even once yet to find out.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
wow Anouk the merchant? That is a gouge fest, I can see why your progressing slowly if that is the case, (the merchant is a necessity on hard mode but if your using villagers there is no problem). What you need to do is build all the structures to concentrate on resources, including 20 huts for the max 80 population, supplimenting what your villaggers find for you with what you can gather from caves, towns and the city, that's the fun thing about A dark room, discovering new places to go on the map and new things to build while your villagers have at it. Follow the compass and it will point you to the places you need to go to finish the game. The game will progress when you have discovered all resources and built all the buildings, I'd also definitely recommend exploring as much as possible sinse that is the way to learn all about the game's world and setting, including just who your protagonist is.

Hi Anouk. Beware! dark room spoilage below don't read anymore unless your on a dusty path. The first thing to note, is once you have explored a location it turns into an outpost, going there you will get your water filled up again and some cured meet to collect if you have the inventory space, so you can explore in stages. Funnily enough I didn't realize this at first myself either and I initially believed the game was impossible to complete for a while sinse one of the major locations you need to get to is a long way away. Also, if you die of thirst five times, you get the desert rat perk which will let you travel two squares for each unit of water used rather than one. Finally, keep checking in with the builder. Once you discover more resources on the map, you'll be able to build more items, some of which drastically improve water use. finally I would highly recommend finishing A Dark room before starting the ensign, sinse The Ensign is much harder, and actually a lot like the hard mode version of A Dark room, (you'll find out about hard mode once you finish the game).

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Hi, Well i started with a dark room on monday. I quite liked it at first and it was quite addictive. But at a certain point it was not clear to me what i needed to do. I could not seem to find any new locations and if i wanted to explore unexplored locations i would not have enough water. I also started the ensign but i liked the dark room better because it also has building and resource management. Greetings, Anouk, > On 28 Nov 2014, at 08:22, dark wrote: > > Hi paul. > > Good luck.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Hi paul. Good luck. I confess I've only got so far, but then aain I've only had a couple of major goes at the game, but I really want to see if I can do better. The game is essentially, as the description says an expantion and a tougher version of the dusty path from the original Dark room, but with perminant death and some different places to go as well as some other options and activities, I also believe there are some different endings, but I've not finished the game even once yet to find out. As one little tip, when the general offers you food at the beginning, this is your choice between easy and hard mode.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room.
Hi Lindsay. Have you tried the help button? That has specific info on vo use. I'll begin by giving you a none spoilery and purely mechanical explanation. Basically, you have a number of events with timers that have percentages next to them, so the first thing you will see is a button to "light the fire" where upon you'll get a percentage ticker which lets you know when you can light the fire again. Buttons and information are towards the top of the screen, and as you progress, you'll get more links and places to go. The history is towards the bottom and when a new event comes up, for example when your fire needs more wood or a new location opens, you'll be told as much. the further you get into the game the more there is to explore and to do, so don't be put off if at first things seem simplistic, indeed events are all carefully timed to keep your playing and make sure you have new things going on and that while the game is slow, it's not grindy. hth. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask, but bare in mind A Dark Room is all about the discovery.

Re: [Audyssey] a dark room?
Hi Maria. It's possible your going to different houses, but you very much need to keep a track of where your going. I would actually recommend you go for the normal ending first since it'll give you a much better idea of how the game works and what happens, plus the style of play is slightly different since you've got the resource building aspect as well as the exploring to contend with.

Re: [Audyssey] A Dark Room, now an IOS iPhone game
Hi Lori. Well there are several dark rooms, there is my kitchin, my livving room (which does indeed have me in it at the moment), my bedroom, my bathroom and indeed my toilet (a very dark room indeed, since people don't usually like seeing what happens in there). The game on the Iphone however is a really interesting rpg, in which you start out in a dark room, which doesn't contain me, unless I'm playing (wow this is confusing). You start off by lighting the fire, then you meet a mysterious stranger, then you can go out into the woods and start gathering wood to keep the fire going. The stranger turns out to have an astonishing ability to build things, huts for your followers and various items that let you go out into the wilderness and explore. The game unfolds from there, sort of a mix of resource management and exploration, though i won't say anymore since it's one of those games you really need to explore for yourself. Beware the grue!"

Basically the game is a mix between resource management and an old fashioned dungeon style rpg (it rather reminded me of a dos game like fallthru or drone). You have a village of slaves who work to get you resources like wood, fir, scales, teeth and such. You can build different buildings such as huts to increase your population size, or buildings like a tanary, smoke house or hunters lodge to give you access to other jobs to get more materials. That end of things is sort of similar to castaways. The difference however is that you use these resources to not only expand your village but also build your rpg adventuring items, for example to enter dungeons and such you need torches which must be crafted from wood and cloth, while the backpack needs making from leather. The rpg end of things reminds me of fallthru, since you are limited in the amount of things you can carry by your equipment, so even when you defeat a monster you might not be able to pick up all the loot, and you also need to make sure you have enough water, food etc to travel around and have encounters. The game has some random events and encounters, and various locations to explore, though I've not got far in the exploring yet so I can't say how things like dungeons work exactly, still it's an

Just remember outposts are your best friend for cured meed, and avoid going to caves until you've build the wagon and can carry all the leather since when playing for the alternate ending leather becomes like gold dust, indeed I'd recommend heading straight to the iron mine and mining until you can build the wagon, and not touching any of the caves until you've got it otherwise you'll have a long haul ahead of you.

Re: [Audyssey] A Dark Room, now an IOS iPhone game
You need to completely clear it= and go through the loot thing. I'm still not convinced your not hitting retreat or go back etc somewhere along the line since that's the only thing I can think of that would make you walk into a location and it not turn into an outpost, indeed it's nearly impossible to finish the game even on standard mode without knowing this since there are some locations that are just too far away.

Re: [Audyssey] a dark room?
I think I realize what is happening. After you kill the old man did you hit the retreat button or the continue button. Even if you won the fight, hitting retreat basically takes you out of the hole thing.

Hi Maria. No, you don't build any huts at all, but you must still build traps to get things to trade to the merchant.

Re: [Audyssey] A Dark Room, now an IOS iPhone game
Hi Maria. What you need to do is carry on building traps, eventually, the builder will open up the options to build more items, though annoyingly you'll need to do a lot of back and forth to get the items, but nobody says the alternate ending is easy. I've done it, but it was a struggle I'll say that. Just remember outposts are your best friend for cured meed, and avoid going to caves until you've build the wagon and can carry all the leather since when playing for the alternate ending leather becomes like gold dust, indeed I'd recommend heading straight to the iron mine and mining until you can build the wagon, and not touching any of the caves until you've got it otherwise you'll have a long haul ahead of you.

Basically the game is a mix between resource management and an old fashioned dungeon style rpg (it rather reminded me of a dos game like fallthru or drone). You have a village of slaves who work to get you resources like wood, fir, scales, teeth and such. You can build different buildings such as huts to increase your population size, or buildings like a tanary, smoke house or hunters lodge to give you access to other jobs to get more materials. That end of things is sort of similar to castaways. The difference however is that you use these resources to not only expand your village but also build your rpg adventuring items, for example to enter dungeons and such you need torches which must be crafted from wood and cloth, while the backpack needs making from leather. The rpg end of things reminds me of fallthru, since you are limited in the amount of things you can carry by your equipment, so even when you defeat a monster you might not be able to pick up all the loot, and you also need to make sure you have enough water, food etc to travel around and have encounters. The game has some random events and encounters, and various locations to explore, though I've not got far in the exploring yet so I can't say how things like dungeons work exactly, still it's an interesting one. One very odd mechanic is that the game is actually real time like a mud, but the developers have put a lot of work into making the game accessible. All new events get instantly spoken, whether random occurrences or standard things in your history, and even though everything in the game (including hits in battle), works on cool down timers with percentages this presents no access issues at all. The only thing I haven't really got thus far is exactly how this fire thing is supposed to work, since while I keep stoking the fire in the main dark room hub of the game I'm not exactly sure what it does, though I'm guessing bad things happen if you ignore it for too long.

[Audyssey] a dark room?
Hi guys. I have bene playing a dark room. I have a few questions however: 1. is the only way to get cured meat to go to the house and battle with the old man? 2. If you use up food to get somewhere then how do you battle with whatever creature you encounter if you have not got many hit points? 3. when I go back in to the room it tells me I should gather more wood. Why do I need more wood? I think that will do for now. thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room, alternative ending and developer thoughts
Oopse sorry, sent the other mail by mistake (hand slip). As I was saying I really like the alternate mode, it really makes the game strategic and the exploration matter since you can't just expect to wait and have your slaves build you everything. The developer also asked me to publicize the alternate ending, which is also why I'm writing to the list. While he's said he prefers to keep the game at the length and pace it is and so doesn't plan to add any extra content such as extra weapons etc, he is thinking of more games, that's again why wratings would be good.

Re: [Audyssey] A dark room, alternative ending and developer thoughts
Hi Paul. I don't think the fire has any more affect than atmosphere after it's triggered the first few encounters with the builder and unlocked the silent forest, at least I've had nothing dire happen with it going out. I do keep it stoked though for atmosphere if nothing else. I'm well in to the alternate mode now. it was tough to get going, since though the trading post got unlocked when I had 15 traps and I bought the compass the dusty path didn't appear, but when I mentioned this to the developer he advised me to turn the ap off and on again with the ap switcher which fixed it. I actually like the alternate mode in a lot of ways, since it makes loot really important, and gives you a good reason to take back even the firs and such you get from beasts (since you really need to work at exchanging them with the merchant for stuff), and also it --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A Dark Room, now an IOS iPhone game
Well darren, the map is not large by mud standards, but when you considder having to balance food and water requirements it is pretty big, since until you've built some of the bigger items you just can't hold enough to get far. I also believe the map locations might be somewhat randomized, but I'm not sure on that one not having played many games, though from the looks of it the game does have a story with a what I believe will be a conclusion. I only really have two issues with the game thus far, one miner and one major. The miner issue is that the encounter with the scout offering to sell a map always shows up when i get back from an expedition. This is fine, accept it makes it a little difficult to read the history about what I brought back from the expedition, whether I died or not and whether I buy te new map or not. The rather more major problem I have is that if you manage your resources correctly, the loot from exploration is a little superfluous, since most of what you get are what your minians are making by the tick at home, and since you can only carry a limited amount (especially with inventory juggling food and water), exploring really doesn't do much, particularly since though the game has unlockable skills (or perks as their called), you get no experience, or points or anything else for killing monsters, meaning that a lot of the random encounters are something of a waste of time. Of course not everything! you find exploring is useless, and you can use it as a way to build items you can't currently produce resources for, but in general I would've liked to see a little more bennifit to that in the game, although I will explore around and at least try out every type of location there is on the map just for interest's sake, (particularly as there are some hidden ones including some that actually explain the world and story of the game). I might contact the developers about this though, since it wouldn't be hard to add some experience into the game, or maybe some resources or items that are only! available by exploration, particularly as there really could be more weapons, container s, armor and other items in the game than what there are.

A minimalist text adventure by Michael Townsend. Developed at doublespeak games and inspired by Candy Box. There are several locations that the player will encounter throughout the game. Performing certain actions, building different structures, purchasing key items, or finding special areas on The World will unlock specific locations. The player begins in A Dark Room. The only option presented to the player is to light the fire. Once the dark room is lit, the room will become A Firelit Room. The Firelit Room can be upgraded to allow the player the ability to build a variety of structures, craft weapons or supplies, or buy resources from the Trading Post. The Room will report its temperature and the status of the fire whenever entered. The fire may be flickering, burning, or roaring, which will cause the room to be mild, warm, or hot respectively. If not stoked for a period of time, the fire will degenerate from roaring to burning to flickering, with the room cooling as it goes. If the fire tries to fall below flickering, Builder will stoke it automatically to keep it lit. Since Builder generates a constant +2 wood per 10 seconds, it would seem to be impossible for the fire to actually go out (and the room to drop back below mild) once burning. If the temperature gets too low, the builder refuses to build. Other than this, the state of the fire and temperature of the room do not appear to have any impact on the rest of the game after the builder recovers, apart from causing a Buildings constant slow consumption of wood. awake. head throbbing. vision blurry.

Re: [Audyssey] A Dark Room, now an IOS iPhone game
Hi Ian. I decided the description was so crazy I had to try this one, and it is actually a lot of fun, sort of a bit like fallthru or castaways. Basically, the buttons appear at the top and the history of what's going on appear at the bottom mud style, though vo reads all the history anyway. Everytime something is at 100 percent you can hit it to perform the action, for example when gather wood is at 100 percent you can gather wood. Part of the game is resource management. You have a village, and can build huts for more population and other buildings to unlock different jobs that give resources, eg, hunters give you meat and fir, trappers give you bate but take meat (they also improve the output of any traps you have down), then when you build them annery and smokehouse let your recruit different workers. Once you have the supplies you can go exploring. The access in the game is pretty awsome actually in terms of help buttons everywhere to tell you what is what, though what you have to do requires a bit more work. I'm just getting into the exploring side now, having got all the stuff. It's actually a really addictve and rather fun game though I agree you need to get going with it.

[Audyssey] A Dark Room, now an IOS iPhone game
A Dark Room By Amirali Rajan Description An unforgettable journey that starts small and slowly becomes much, much, more. A minimalist text adventure by Michael Townsend. Developed at doublespeak games and inspired by Candy Box. There are several locations that the player will encounter throughout the game. Performing certain actions, building different structures, purchasing key items, or finding special areas on The World will unlock specific locations. The player begins in A Dark Room. The only option presented to the player is to light the fire. Once the dark room is lit, the room will become A Firelit Room. The Firelit Room can be upgraded to allow the player the ability to build a variety of structures, craft weapons or supplies, or buy resources from the Trading Post. The Room will report its temperature and the status of the fire whenever entered. The fire may be flickering, burning, or roaring, which will cause the room to be mild, warm, or hot respectively. If not stoked for a period of time, the fire will degenerate from roaring to burning to flickering, with the room cooling as it goes. If the fire tries to fall below flickering, Builder will stoke it automatically to keep it lit. Since Builder generates a constant +2 wood per 10 seconds, it would seem to be impossible for the fire to actually go out (and the room to drop back below mild) once burning. If the temperature gets too low, the builder refuses to build. Other than this, the state of the fire and temperature of the room do not appear to have any impact on the rest of the game after the builder recovers, apart from causing a Buildings constant slow consumption of wood. awake. head throbbing. vision blurry. A Dark Room Version 1.2 Enhancements for the vision impaired. $1.99 Updated: Jan 03, 2014 Version: 1.2 Size: 5.3 MB Language: English Seller: Amirali Rajan Rated 9+ for the following: Infrequent/Mild Horror/Fear Themes Infrequent/Mild Mature/Suggestive Themes Compatibility: Requires iOS 7.0 or later.

Trade Cost: Fur: 400 Scales: 20 Teeth: 10 Weapons Weapons provide the player with a means to defend themselves while traversing The World. Weapons can either be crafted, traded, or found in a variety of locations throughout The World. It is important to note that with the exception of the Fists, carrying weapons does not override the ability to attack with either weapon; this means that if the avatar is carrying both an Iron Sword and a Steel Sword, they will be able to both "swing" with the Iron Sword and "slash" with the Steel Sword, and both weapons will experience cooldown timers independent of each other. In this way, it is typically advantageous to carry a variety of weapons, as their carrying cost is generally outweighed by the benefit to simultaneously attack with multiple weapons in battle. Carrying more than 1 of any single type of weapon does not allow the avatar to attack twice with that weapon without a cooldown. Fists verb: punch type: unarmed damage: 1 cooldown: 2 seconds Bone Spear "this spear's not elegant, but its pretty good at stabbing" verb: stab type: melee damage: 2 cooldown: 2 seconds weight: 2 creation cost: 100 Wood, 5 Teeth Iron Sword "sword is sharp. good protection out in the wilds." verb: swing type
