Huh, that's interesting. And they appear to be following the Minecraft development strategy. I love the modern world sometimes.

Hehe. Seems like these small niche indie-but-maybe-not completely games with ideas that are "out there" are popping up everywhere lately. Before too long we'll be so busy simulating surviving in the post-apocalyptic world that we'll be too engrossed to actually cause one anymore. :roll: Nah, we'll always find an idiot for that I'm sure.

Haha, a little later than I expected but with the right response. ;)

The browser-based demo is a bit too small and fidgety for my taste, but I'll be looking forward to the progress this makes as a full game. On a big screen I think I might enjoy it.

Yeah i played about 15 mins of it. Didnt want to progress further really because its only a demo.

Not bad though I must say. Reminds me of Stalker. I wonder how big the world is.

There are encounters and then theres the hex exploration mode.

I like how theres a shit load of stuff to scavenge, but it was a bit weird how I couldnt hole up on some nearby ruins and resting without getting hypothermia. I would have assume it would be possible to start a fire... but i guess would a newbie know how to do that, especially if its raining and he only has a lighter? I guess its realistic.

Its not like Baldurs Gate whereby you have a cost nights sleep by simply hitting R (or L... cant remember which).

Gonna play some now.

The demo is stupidly hard.

Cant find a way to heal my injuries.

Wait... did derf just complain that a game was too hard? :shock:

Post subject:  Re: NEO Scavenger
More to the point: a game about survival being too hard! :shock:

I don't know about healing other than to rest, but then I never played the game so long that I had to. :P

Hard in the sense that the encounters often rape you. The demo doesnt have save functionality, so getting far in the demo means having a good (lucky) start. Ie, no encounters with looters that get a lucky punch in and cripple you.

Anyway, im considering spunking 10 dollars for access to the beta, with access to the full game once its done.

Detailed browser based realistic looting games ftw.

Cant figure out the formulas. About the only thing I can do is start a fire, woohoo :D.

Yeah, it's not very intuitive from that perspective.
