Yes, please do. It will be much appreciated.
Yes, it was worth it. The main reasons we were delayed was we decided to build our own turn-based rpg engine and lack of funds. Whatever the case we managed to get here. We do hope to finish it too. We are very much committed though. I mean, we had more than enough reasons to quit before but this time, we're too close to quit now.
I'm actually glad somebody finally pointed this out. The game is meant to reflect this. There are more nuances than just the usual shoot or hit your enemy. Also, the reason for the difficulty to hit is simple game balance. The game is an RPG so its stats versus stats modified by the environment and other factors. It's not simply he's 5 feet away and i point a gun in his face and expect to hit. The skill of the user comes into the play in comparison to the skill of the target. We're constantly tweaking this to make it easier too hit but not too easy. In the end, easy to hit at close range hurts the player more than the enemy because of simple probabilities. There will always be more attacks against the players and the enemy doesn't care to save their resources. This is where we are trying to balance and your feedback and actual experiences in the game is important. In the end, we want it to be fun while trying to get it as "realistic" as possible.
Only semi lame actually. This is how the system is. When you attack in full auto (lets say 5 round burst), your success in your attack is tallied against the defense of your enemy. The difference determines how many bullets hit. If lets say your target rolls a 15 and you roll a 15, then 1 bullet hits. If he rolls a 15 and you roll a 30, then all 5 bullets hit. (the difference factor can be adjusted up and down depending on how deadly you want it to get. Each bullet does separate damage so full auto and all hitting the target can basically take down almost anything with an assault rifle. (not counting armor of course) NOw there is the argument in the team to allow a close miss (miss by 3) to deal 1 bullet damage while on the dot will deal 2 bullet damage and then implement the damage factor. We will be experimenting with this in the months to come as to what people will enjoy.
First of all, thank you. You just gave me an idea that the target was indeed large. I didn't factor this in. I just implemented it immediately after i saw it so now it is easier to hit a bit because of its size. This is why i like the game being out now, because we get great feedback and puts everything into a new perspective. We're going to apply this now to all large (and larger) sized enemies. We've been making this game for 4 years straight and honestly were bound to miss something looking at it everyday for over 1500 days. Again thank you.
Can I just say it's great to be back here. Can't believe 4 years have passed. I do go in once in a while but i don't say much. It's great to see the regulars here.
Thank you and we're happy that you think so.
