VotV 0.9 what went so fucking wrong?

>>725539161 (OP)
It's 1spooky3me

>>725539161 (OP)
nose doesnt play his own game.
if he did he's understand that the time economy is fucked and all this does is push people to completely ignore the signal catching mechanics.

I haven't played it in a while, but I remember there being a fuckton of busywork to such a degree you have NO down time until you get the kerfur Omega to run hashes for you.
How have they made it worse?

Time runs way too fast. I ace my tasks and it takes up half my day. So I don't spend actual time cleaning unless I want to skip the tasks, and I don't explore at all. I feel like I should adjust the rate of time but fuck.

I dont mind more busywork but it completely fucks your time economy

>>725539402
insanely way worse like you can't imagine, people are ignoring the main core features of the game because of how annoying they are now

Not enough zex
No more twinks give us cute redheads

>ignoring the main core features of the game
>because of how annoying they are now
It's not that annoying to work with them, the issue is that they take up too much in-game time.

How do you disable the stupid "this rule is locked!" warning on the savedata creation?

welcome to 0.9

Is there any new signals yet or is it yet another update full of useless tedium and furfaggotry?

did they add anything to the greys or do they just disappear forever after their event like the kangz

I like the new additions for the most part. Some of the 5spooky events are way too common though. Wolfgang potentially going feral and barging into your base to fuck your shit up on the first day is completely fucked. Having him be potentially hostile at all is kind of fucked. Just keep that hundred legged cocksucker a non-hostile but still unsettling entity.

I must confess, I begged Nose for more minigames to flesh out the main signal gameplay loop… I thought they’d be fun… I’m sorry…

>>725539161 (OP)
Nose didn't put up a big "SUPER BROKEN VERSION FOR PUBLIC TESTING AND THE HALLOWEEN EVENT DON'T FUCKING PLAY IT SERIOUSLY" sign on the itch.io page so now we have to contend with the retards who thought the release marked [UNSTABLE SHADOW SUPER TEST] would work and be balanced perfectly fine.
Anyway, current state of the patch notes. This is the version after the current "shadow super test" 0.9.0 release and is aimed at fixing bugs, of which there are a lot of because spaghetti "code" and Unreal Engine shenanigans combined with Nose sloppily overhauling the foundations of the game for the update (hence it going from pre-alpha to alpha). Rejoice, there is 1 (one) new signal.
What the fuck are Nose's testers for if releases are still broken after months of testing? I wonder the same myself. My understanding from lurking the shitcord for information is that the glitches in the patreon test versions are so cataclysmically fucking bad that all the testing time is spent handling them. Glitches worse than the ones we get to see on these public test versions, and much more of them.

I just used his shitty game patcher and it automatically put me in 0.9, it's not like I ticked any box saying "test builds"

literally who is this this isn't nose

>>725544262
Signals are gay and just there to make cash with some fun tidbits happening.
Cooking is fun, cleaning is fun, exploring the map is fun.

>>725545650
Pretty sure it's picrel, their QA guy. Same dudethat fills out responses in the bug and feedback spreadsheets (see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P4X_80HZ5tgtl5P423cZkuG4wOBtwRqnE5U_J6GSoRI and https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cwIe9RI6xVLV0ZV8wi78qvFCxyiZpKE3Jg5dRsRG-s4).
Surprised to hear his voice is that deep, I had been expecting him to be a tranny with that profile pic

It's hilarious how much anti-design went into this update. In the game about intercepting Alien Signals and the strange events this causes, let's first force the player to do literal hours of tedious and finicky manual labor before actually getting any signals.

How's the game doing?

>>725546162
That's not even a tranny looking pic anon.
You need to work on your tranny radar.

>satellites lean so hard now it clips into the platform often fucking up kurfus's pathfinding
like i want to play this game again when its fully out but i also know theyll probably just give up before then or fuck it up in some other way
the early game having like no fucking events isint helping

The control scheme change is just shit. Having to press two buttons AT THE SAME TIME to throw something, that just sucks. When to use r and e to use or pick something up also feels inconsistent between different machines. And holding E to activate something literally breaks certain functions. I just tried to explode a kerfus, which you used to be able to by spamming e on it - doesn't work with the hold e shit.

not looking good for the future of this game

I don't know man, years ago and anywhere outside shitcord I would have seen a pink haired anime girl and thought nothing. Now I see that and immediately tense up with the thought there may be an emotional retard behind it, ready to pop off and go on a pronouns tirade if I accidentally slip into my ESLisms and use "him" on a stranger instead of "them".

>enable cheap window shader
>visible fps increase and i can actually see out of it now

>>725548115
i can run RDR2 on my shitbox at decent fps while still looking pretty decent but if i turn on shadows in this game it becomes unplayable in the base kek

>>725547952
The darkest dungeon formula of game patching.

So there is essentially no reason to take any signals or do any of the shitty chores if you simply disable the daily penalty, is there. The story signals are predictable and come on different days, just do those and chuck the drive in the bin afterwards.

>>725545553
>r*ssian colabbing with an anglo
Not only is it the shittiest combo it is also a complete betrayal of everything Nose's culture stands for

>>725550643
implying the gooner retard cares the least bit about culture

>playing games because of hype
couldn't be me

>>725545019
this, peope are honestly pretty retarded, of course its not balanced its a fucking Test build that says in enormous capital letters that its a test build, alas, people are retarded, like op >>725539161 (OP)
, what a fool, look at him and pity him

>>725545650
nah it's definitely not nose, dude's voice is way too confident and he isn't mumbling through a mouthful of pringles. plus nose always had that scuffed webcam potato quality, this looks professionally recorded lmao. might be that intern who got elevated to "community manager" or some equally meaningless title.

>>725553473
anon, ayys probed you and took away your reading comprehension it seems

>>725551885
I mean if these were the ayys, sure, that's a little scary. But peak fear in his voice comes from a flicker of a crusty jpg of a tiny little grey dude.

>>725551885
It's not the bugs that are the problem, it's the parts he thinks are fine.

>>725539161 (OP)
It's the roads I hate the most. The map used to be green and lumpy which was boring but fine. Now with a bunch of semi useless cinematic bendy roads sculped in, there's lots of long vertical drops and nasty little indestructible fences waiting to cost you an ATV repair.

>>725539161 (OP)
Nose not adding giant omega mecha kerfuses to exterminate every filthy ariral, fetishes be damned when it's about killing alien scum.

>>725555501
Seriously, look at this shit road dead spider thing. At least it has some signs but not enough.

>>725547576
I have literally 100 buttons right here. But no we gotta do the longpress thing and combo them while having the worst inventory system known to man.

>>725555253
>it's the parts he thinks are fine.
how do you know that, How do you fucking know that, are you him? its a fucking test build that he literally said was a buggy mess, why would it not get balanced, are you pants on head retarded?

>>725539161 (OP)

Yup it's signals time

>>725558060
Like, literally what I typed. The parts he never changes over several versions because he thinks they're fine. Some of these parts are bad.
>BUT IT'S A BETA
fuck off

>>725559642
what are the parts that are fine??
Its an ALPHA actually
0.8 is marked as pre-Alpha, 0.9 is marked as Alpha

Any easy way to get rid of the bedframes in the bedroom. They don't really body block any horror.
Just my home improvement.

>>725559928
try using the handsaw

>>725539402
Even more chores and almost every minigame replaced with ones that take 3 times as long. Practically every single time it rains you're guaranteed to lose a coordinate tower to lightning which is 100 points right out of your account as you're forced to buy a replacement fuse.

>>725546423
I was watching an older stream of Joel playing the game and he said that in real life SETI, it'd take months to even get a signal. I'm seriously starting to wonder if Nose heard that and thought "true, my game does abstract and speed up the process too much, I should make it more tedious" in some sort of sudden braindead attempt at pulling back on the extremely fantastical premise of the game because he wants it to be taken seriously.
Not that it helps with all the memes, wacky shit and references stuffed into the game, but he seems exactly like the guy who sees no contradiction there.

do we appreciate or hate the change to items that stops them from exploding everywhere when loading the game?

>>725563743
I appreciate the performance but it's yet another level of work needed to clean things up.
