Who was composer?
"D_THE_DA" are really rocky and awesome track!

[Vostyok]

All music was composed by PRIMEVAL, aka John s. Weekley. I've put a link on the front page to his band camp profile.

Hello, Vostyok! I found something that is probably a little mistake. In Ashes2063Maps.wad:DECORATE:

Code: Select all

actor JUNKReward : chips
{
  Inventory.Amount 100
  Inventory.PickupMessage "items/capssuper"
  Inventory.PickupMessage "Got a wad of dollar bills!"

the PickupMessage is doubled.

It probably should be

Code: Select all

actor JUNKReward : chips
{
  Inventory.Amount 100
  Inventory.PickupMessage "Got a wad of dollar bills!"
  Inventory.PickupSound "items/capssuper"

, right?

[Vostyok]

aha, you are correct duke.

Don't worry, a lot of this stuff I'm re-writing from scratch. Some stuff I kinda rushed


But then I had been working on this for like three years and wanted to start something new hahah

[Echelon5]

Suggestion, although you might think it's a little too on the nose; perhaps the leather armor could have a shoulder pad to make it look like Max Rockatansky's jacket? Or if you wanna go slightly more obscure, it could have a smaller pad and look more like Kenshiro's from Fist of the North Star (whose look was inspired by Mad Max. It's all just one big ouroboros isn't it?)

I kept track of Ashes since that old semi-abandoned demo. And like the result so much. Three years were definetely productive. Thanks & good luck with future projects (ofc I mean episode 2 ).

[Vostyok]

Yeah? You'll be recognising a lot of stuff then.

Expect to spend some time in some familiar locales. Or at least one of them...

Big uroboros. Oh, the irony...

I fucking lost it. God I was not expecting this.

On topic, holy hell this is really fun! Haven't got any critique, but god damn, keep up the good work!

Hey Vostyok,

Two things I want to bring up

---

In the Temple of the Dollar, in the control room where you can open the shutters there are a couple of pipe bombs on top of several lockers that I can not reach how much I try. Is there some special way of getting to these or is this perhaps a minor oversight on your part?
I do not see anyone else here mentioning it but I am sure others must have found the pipe bombs as well.

Second, more of a suggestion this one. In the food where the bandits that are holed up there are several mutants trapped in adjoining rooms that are released after the player has collected the yellow key card. Could it perhaps be changed that the player can release the mutants to fight the bandits? It is always fun to watch monsters fight among each other.

[Vostyok]

That uroboros has made me, once again, snort coffee aaaaallll over my laptop.

Thanks.

On another note, some more themed items and collectibles are currently in my sprites folder as we speak.

On the subject of infighting, I would like to explore this more in the next episode. Hopefully lots of opportunities to exploit the natural hatred the denizens of the Wasteland have for eachother, rather than just our heroic reluctant scavenger.

I have been playing Ashes since I found out about it last fall and have enjoyed it immensely. So I decided to sign up and help out by taking note of the things I ran into.
I took screenshots and posted them into this small album.

I hope this helps and can't wait for more Ashes.

[Mere_Duke]

Yeah? You'll be recognising a lot of stuff then.

Expect to spend some time in some familiar locales. Or at least one of them...

First I played abandoned version of 1 level and was escited.
Then I have played through the demo v055 of 2 levels on my channel
So I could see as the first level has been reworked & improved 2 times.

[Vostyok]

Heh. You'll have to wait and see. You might recognise some things.

Apart from that, there's lots of new areas to explore. I'm pretty close to finishing the first two maps now.

I'll update the youtube and some pics here as well when I've got some candy for ya.

[heron]

I'll send you a PM, buddy. A lot of it is for later, but yeah, a lot is supposed to be inferred rather than spelt out.

Just played through and finished... absolutely fantastic work! The weapons felt good, the enemies were satisfying to kill, and the mapping was really great. Overall, I had a blast!

Any suggestions or bugs noticed have been discussed in this thread already, so I won't need to repeat anything.

I am a little confused on the plot, especially at the end... the post I quoted was your response to Korell's question (in spoiler tags), and I was wondering if you could copy/paste to me the PM response you sent to Korell?

I sure hope the second episode is as good as this first episode, because that was just plain fun!

Thank you again for all your hard work
