Ashes Afterglow TC - closing the vault

[ButtonBoy]

Yo, I was perusing the old Ashes forum again and I came across an old idea for a road sign sword, Now this idea is absolutely awesome, because it really fits the theme of desperate people making weapons out of anything to survive, Now lets pose a hypothetical situation here, Lets say that in Ep 3 you get ambushed on the road lose all your stuff etc, this is not only a convenient way to to set progress back to square one, but its also a convenient way to introduce new weapons, for example the road sign sword, so after your ambushed and left for dead you find this sword somewhere near by, and boom, you've got your crowbar replacement for Ep 3, so on and so forth until you gain a completely new arsenal compared to ep 1 and 2, with brand-new weapons and upgrades and other stuff, Now I know this would be a complete pain in the ass to do, with all the sprite work and etc, but I'm just posing this hypothetically, it would be awesome, but it doesn't need to happen

Tbh that sword sprite is the perfect excuse for someone to create an separate campaign such as DMW but have that sword as an replacement for the Crowbar,

But why stop there? Hell making new weapons fitting in there would be awesome as well,

Now all we gotta find someone who's got enough motivation and the like to actually work with this.

any idea anyone where i can use the bronze key in Ashes Afterglow - 09 Blood Sport ?

In the room opposite of the room where you get the blue key there is a door which requires the bronze key, the room thats it unlocks counts as a secret, does this help?

Hint: Try walking through a certain broken glass window.

wait, is that the steel-doored room with the poster of ashes 2063 cricket where the protagonist says "hmm no that would never work"

i have all keys, just not sure now which ones ive used, i thought i had not used the bronze key, i did find it behind the broken glass window, perhaps it opens the steel door in the same vicinity ?

Amissa, what about you settle down and stop moderating this thread?

Amissa, what about you settle down and stop moderating this thread?

How about you stop getting butthurt and feel obliged to someone off for something you don't agree with and choose to take a deep breath and let it be instead?
You're not a mod and neither am i, But that doesn't excuse you busting me up for giving some simple posting advice to some lovely thread newbie on how to avoid awkward internet situations.

If you have problems with a post, report it and let the actual moderators deal with it. The two of you bickering about it will create more problems than it solves.

Noted, I'll try to watch my lock horns behaviour from now on.

Woah, that sprite takes me back. On the subject of that, you are both correct about future plans. I don't want to spoil anything too much, but ep3 will be having a slightly different arsenal (although a few favorites may be retained from our trip to Atlanta.) In the future, I would like to do something like a short episodes wad. All the spare sprites I ended up making during development gave me the idea originally, and the team have often discussed having a "Tales of The Wasteland" expansion which focuses on multiple characters in different times and places - giving a better view of events happening in other places. It's a plan for the future probably, but would be fun to recruit anyone who wanted to join in and come up with maps and characters they would like to see. Put a pin in that for now though - there are some changes coming for episode 3 that will effect how this mod would function.

Fun fact: That sprite is so old, it actually comes from when the mod was set in Los Angeles. It still says Garvey Avenue on it.

That sounds cool Vos, Feel free to hit me up whenever that project starts I'd be willing to provide some ideas of random stuff.
