Beta test for Volta and the Stone.

Intriguing! What is it with new authors delivering such amazing-looking missions right out of the gate? :cool:

 

Unfortunately, I can't test right now, since time is kinda tight, but I am looking forward to playing it!

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Oh man..... you people are going to be blown utterly and totally away - I goose bumbs just watching the trailer. if you thought Goldwwell set the 'Gold standard' (pun intended) for briefing vids, prepare to be amazed as the bar has been raised yet again..

Right people, with permission from the author I am going to Twitch stream my beta test , Unfortunatly the conversion from Twitch to youtube has degraded quality.

Played through the beta version under 2.04 and by God this is one heck of a mission

One area where I would disagree with the author - 1 to 2 hours is a massive under estimate when playing on the hardest setting

Can someone check my stream is live please..?

I watched part of the archived stream and when you started talking I immediately thought "it's you! of one of the NPCs in the game!" Mission looks pretty good, too. Very good mission intro, just like you said in this thread.

Sorry for the late response, thanks so much guys!

I apologize for the mission time estimate. I'll change that to reflect 2-3 hours.

 

Goldwell was the first to implement edible food. I'm excited to see how it was done in The Accountant II. Mine is a pretty hacky health potion in disguise and probably not suitable for use in other FMs. I've encountered some strange bugs doing it that way.

 

I am still looking for a few more testers if anyone is interested. Please PM me!

 

 

Thanks again everyone.

I'll send you through how it was done in accountant 2, because technically the game supports it, it's just missing a script or something.

 

It's actually quite simple setting everything up as all you need to do is add in one script file and a couple of spawnargs to the food that you want to heal the player.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
