Where did you find the file? As for sharing it I think you could upload it to google drive and share a link.

Gelato can we please get the older version again if possible?

You should try to find someone to hand the project off to imo, there are just so many people that were hyped for this game. I'm sure you could just make a post and you'd get plenty of people with more free time that want to see this game get made.


Like, I'm sure there's someone that could take what you've already put together and finish it into something great.

So much fun, I love to see new updates.


Some input: I liked the inventory and survival mechanics, and I have a great memory of nailing a tripod with a cannon once in an older version, and I'd love to see that come back. I understand if these don't come back though, they weren't super important mechanics I suppose.


I think the AI for the humans and tripods are areas that could use development for sure. Mainly the Tripods using black smoke more, searching houses, maybe tracking the player better into houses to destroy them. I've found that just going into a house is almost always enough to survive. In general I've found the Tripods not very menacing after playing the game for a bit. I just feel like they don't search for humans very much. And as for humans, I'd just like to see more than the one text (not that they need tons of lines) and perhaps for them to hide inside or try to flee by train or towards trees. 


Also... can we finally have a moon? I mean some sort of ambient light at night, just enough to actually travel by. 


Tl:dr Amazing game, but I spend most sessions just hiding in a house until the tripods die. And its also really really easy to evacuate by boat. Like seriously I stand there on the docks, watching the Tripod slowly get closer. The ship comes in and the Tripod gets close, it's so tense will the boat get out in time? Then the Tripod just turns around and f***s off.


P.S If the boats can ever get sank, that would be absolutely epic.  

I 10000000% agree with tripods searching houses. I feel like that would add so much to the horror, like hiding from a probe would be so much cooler than just hiding in a house and crossing your fingers that it doesn't get vaporized... not saying the tripods shouldn't destroy buildings of course.  The ambiance and sounds of the cities could use work yes, horses and rabble, warning sirens, train noises... and nature ambiance too  would be awesome. Imagine walking through the woods hearing crickets and birds only to have them fall silent as the whir and stomping of a tripod approaches.


And I love the 2005 movie, the design of the tripods is flawless and the horn still makes me shudder. However I think the tripods and their sounds in this game is excellent. 

Yeah they could be bigger and more intimidating, but I like them, I liked the old ones more though 


I'm only saying I just wish he left links to the older versions too, I'd like to play both because they're different and both cool. But I was only listing my negatives, I suppose that wasn't very fair.

Nah I know, I mean the artillery men near the ironclads, they don't move and you can't take their cannons. I've never seen a tripod go anywhere near them so I can only assume they're completely functionless.


The howitzers are sick, I love that a good,  lucky shot can take down a tripod in one hit, but it's balanced because they're so difficult to aim. I just mean the npcs that never seem to move and also the ironclads I don't think shoot but they totally should.

Night is just too dark dude (and it comes on way too fast, you should be able to travel between towns in a single day) like can we have a moon and stars to let us not run into the deadly deadly water, and how about a pause menu? It sucks to have to ctrl alt delete to quit the game. And could we get a link to the old singleplayer version?


Beyond that fun scary game, but I've found that staying on the coast kind of just let's you survive forever because tripods never go there. They should and they should fight the ironclads and artillerymen. Are the artillerymen even functional? Like I've only ever seen them stand motionless and you can't kill them and take their cannon so kinda pointless rn. And could you bring back the cylinders? Really I just want to play the old version I've seen videos of, this version was a regression if I'm being honest. And there's no win condition as far as I can tell, I've played through 10 days and nothing happens.


I don't mean to sound like a dick, you're doing god's work here. I got the feeling of being utterly helpless and terrified just like I did watch the 2005 movie as a kid, I just hope you can refine the game into something even better.
