Think mrofa needs a credit its his art on the turbine I believe.

[Haplo]

Tynan knows about it. Right now it depends on what he decides:
Maybe he'll contact mrofa or he makes his own graphic for them. We'll see..

With respect to the recent entries: what the hell is the Ludeon Launcher?

With respect to the recent entries: what the hell is the Ludeon Launcher?

Although the thread was deleted, there was a discussion on how to avoid piracy. The idea was mentioned that the best way to avoid piracy was to provide services that could not be replicated through piracy. Tynan mentioned that an auto updater would be one of these services, so I imagine that is what the launcher is. The launcher will probably be something that you open the game from that makes updates easier. My own thoughts lean towards also incuding some sort of mod manager, but I could be way off. Essentially, the idea is: it is something that will make the overall gaming experience better for those of us who payed for the game. Obviously I would love Tynan to weigh in on the subject as well.

Thanks Mathias. I remember that thread although I haven't followed it. I always buy games and piracy discussions bore me. An auto updater would be a nice thing to have, though.

What happened to damage resistance (reducing damage by a flat %)?

It was listed under the September 26th patch notes as "Reworked armor system to do both damage resistance and deflection chance."

I checked all the armor in the game and couldn't find anything on damage resistance anymore. the damageAbsorbtion tag seems to be ignored or at least not displayed by the stat viewer anymore too.

Boop, still need this answered.

You do know Sept 26 is already Alpha 8, right?

I feel dumb now, whoops.

Does anyone else find a chuckle with certain notes?

Oct 17

•    Started changing the entire Ludeon Launcher to use WinForms. Because it, you know, actually works.

Oct 21

•     Spent most of the day bashing my head against brick walls trying to get Linux to run and do anything useful, and trying to the the launcher to run on Mono runtime.

Quite.

Mainly because it's hilarious to watch.

Might I suggest rubber duckies? Lots and lots of duckies. X3

Ohh somehow I can see him striding around the room every morning in bunny slippers and mug of koffee in a room filled with squeaky rubber duckies and desperately trying to avoid stepping on them just not to lose his shizz

I bet that's how the psychic event came to be, Ty coded it in in a fit of rage after stepping on too many skweekin duckies, to pass the torment around

Edit: and sorry! it's the offtopicday today for me

A psychic wave has passed over the Sylvester household. All of your Tynan's have gone on an insane rampage
