Ashes Afterglow TC - closing the vault

[NovaRain]

Been playing 1.02 and now in Prosperity, but kinda stuck:

---

I cleared the tunnel and talked to the leader of Roamers (about the infection). For now it seems I can only go to the Dome, but I can't get the hazmat suit from Silver. Any leads?

Silver during his conversation mentions that he and his crew got the hazmat suits from a nuclear power plant or nuclear materials storage facility *hint hint *

Ah, yes, after my post I noticed that I can jump into a tunnel that leads to the power plant, thanks.
And just finished the second hub around Prosperity and went to Anomaly 210 before Site Sigma. Still some questions though:

---

1. How does one get the best ending of Michonne? I finished all quests but only got the good ending.
2. It would be nice if the last run has a countdown timer to let me know if I could make it or not. I really suck at controlling the bike so after a couple of tries I just noclip-cheated to get into the safehouse in time.

Hey, I made an account just so I could thank you for this game. It's terrific, and I've been shilling it to all my friends, you deserve every kudos you get.

I just finished Afterglow and I'll do a replay of the Enriched edition, but I wanted to ask something about the ending, because I think mine might've bugged out:

---

For Michonne Circle, I got the ending where everyone leaves, despair rises, and haunts come, leaving the place a ghost town. I assume this is the "bad" ending, but I was confused, because I did everything I could to help the place:

- Got primers for Rigs
- Got medicine for the doctor.
- Rescued Porcelain

Is it intended that even with all that, the place doesn't recover? Did I forget to do something else? I mean I also helped the dealer win the arena match, but I doubt that helps one way or the other.

Watch this thread.

That's funny, implying I'm not already refreshing this thread on my phone every half hour!

Can't wait!

No, it must be a bug. I didn't rescue Porcelain and I got a goodish ending for Michonne

[Serathis]

So uhh....

---

how do I not die horribly in the ending? I haven't figured out anything else than uploading Athena, but the bunker she sends me to has it's doors broken

New update should be soon (within the next hour). Currently testing build. Thank you for patience, anyone still waiting. xxxx

Really enjoying my time with Afterglow so far, and I haven't even left the city yet. However, one part that is driving me crazy at the moment is trying to find a way into a visible area of The Gap.

---

After running around getting irradiated for half an hour, I couldn't find a single spot that connects to the area where the sky bridge connects the clinic with the building next to it. Even after giving up and using noclip to try and find the proper entrance, I couldn't find a spot on either side of the bridge that would be naturally accessible to the rest of the map. I also couldn't find anywhere where the heister's timed explosive might be used to blow through a wall into one of these areas. A tip would be very helpful here, as I don't want to leave that area behind.

[Psychodelic]

Well, I'm gonna play some Hideous Destructor until the next update drops.

Well, what is it that the criminals would WANT to blow up with that bomb? It's not a wall.

We'll have to restart with the new update, right?

Hello!



As mentioned previously, today we are releasing an update to the enriched edition of Episode 1. As well as adding back keyboard controls for the bike, this update repairs many of the issues discovered during the first release. As a special thanks for all the feedback and patience during Afterglow's development, I have decided to add a couple of new things to this.

-New Map, originally cut from 2063 due to me not knowing how the hell to pull it off. To start this new (mostly action, but interesting history) quest, simply talk to Kurt while at The Wall.
-Classic Shotgun, retaining the style of the original release while packing a couple of helpful buffs to better match its original performance. You have a chance to win this in the above job.

included in this update:
-Keyboard controls for bike
-You can now 100% every map - including the subway (you can return to the main path after facing the ambush)
-fixes to several weapons (machine pistol's altfire burst has been fixed to not do minimum damage)
-lots of fixes to maps, but I'm sure I've forgotten a few things (sorry )
-Holstered weapons while in town
-New Mall music - no content id strikes should occur now.

Please note: This will break any existing save.

Many changes have also been going on with Afterglow. Am hoping to overhaul much of the scripts which have been causing problems. As well as this, I'm hoping to add a few new endings to give a less ambiguous end for many places and characters, fully set up the last Uberlock safe so it can actually open (beware - this will be the most convoluted and interesting unlocking procedure yet) give Lucy some more things to do, and fill out some of the towns with more characters. This should all be complete by the end of the following week - but aiming to release ASAP.

Many thanks for all the support. I hope you enjoy. I'll hopefully be packing this release up as a standalone installer using freedoom as well, to make it easier to download and run.

Is there any point to killing the cannibal warlord? I can just run away from him, and he drops nothing.

[Mechazaurus]

Thanks, I'll try it soon
