    Also… This Pallete problem is still here.. It Makes some sprites look very very wierd and game crashes when I choose this thing with corrupted sprite. Also I have some wierd bug with weapon. The sprite is normal, not corrupted, I can use it ingame, but.. When I choose it in bunker builder game crashes.

    Crashed repeatedly trying to config gamepad 1, at the moment I hit the last button to config.

    Don’t default my editor units to brainhunt, since this just kills them all quickly, as they mosh to the right or left.

    Maybe there could be some sort of a team-value for building blocks in the editor? No new tile may overlap a tile from the other team, or something like that. So the guy I’m playing against can’t just drop a unit next to my brain?

    Show current weapon name when I hit menu, and “next/previous item” should be the name of the next item.

    Otherwise, awesome!

    @ Someone

    You may have a point, but everyone couldn’t give less of a shit for what you have to say on the internet.

    Some of the drawbacks are not seeing what gun you’re using. This is bad for small weapons like pistols, or grenades.

    Also, you can’t switch to no weapon at all, or see your ammo.

    I LOVE IT!!

    Some kindly person gave me a link to the game and I am delighted. Watching a rocket lose balance and bleed flame as bullets slam into it… so awesome! It’s like the best of Liero and a good RTS game, in one physics-y package. This is glorious work, here. I very much look forward to buying the game.

    #1 issue — you guys are probably working on this, but could we have it so that guys automatically pick up weapons that they’re dropped onto? It’s a bit tedious having to go round telling them to pick up the gun while enemy fire whizzes over them.

    Postrodent: Thanks for your comments. The issue you mention has been fixed, stay tuned for the next build.

    Also it would be very cool if your able to pick up magazines, and if you didnt have infinity ammo, it would make the game harder, and more realistic. like a ratio above your player. . . (ammo left in magizine:rounds left) that would add an great twist to the game

  14. robolee - # September 13th, 2007 at 8:35 am

    “stay tuned for the next build.”
    yay ^-^ new build soon…?

  15. Somone Lol - # September 13th, 2007 at 6:05 pm

    I can’t go in scene editor. I dont know if its just just my computer or it has not been made yet?

  19. Pie2.1 - # October 2nd, 2007 at 7:27 pm

    Nice effects though. I LIKE THE SHINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Caelas - # October 9th, 2007 at 6:50 pm

    Good effects, but i enjoyed build 12-13 better. They were simple and fun. You’re doing a great kob Data, and i look forward to giving you my money. Also, your comment on the ltest download, it syas something about NOT being something. Explain?

  21. Awesome - # December 5th, 2007 at 8:10 pm

    Crashing drop pods look so good.

    Just one minor nudge as a FPS fan i keep reloading the game when trying to reload weapons by mistake.

    I can’t believe this is still here.
