    @BscotchSeth‌ That's sad to hear. It won't change the awesomeness of Crashlands.

    I've got a question. May we have an ETA, even if imprecise please?

    If you allow anything to be used as a weapon, maybe you could make it do a whole lot less damage. This could lead to some frying pan cat fights... :D

    Oh and what time is the download?
  • bscotchAdambscotchAdam Administrator, Moderator, Tester Posts: 399 Developer
    Not totally sure yet. We're hooking up the last of the analytics RIGHT NOW and implementing the Bscotch ID login. We'll do testing tonight and then upload tomorrow as soon as any last-minute bugfixes are complete.

    We're aiming for 2pm UTC-6. NO GUARANTEES.

    Expect an email around that time with final instructions. GET PUMPED! I know we are.

    Slight problem. 2PM UTC is midnight for me. On the dot. I'm pumped but not that pumped. Dayumn... D;

    @InferiorPickle‌ Guess you'll just have to catch up after everyone else goes to sleep!
  • UlnarevernUlnarevern Bscotch, Moderator, Tester Posts: 318 mod
    I wanted to do my homework tomorrow but it turns out I'm going to spend hours on Crashlands. I'll do the homework later.

    @Ulnarevern‌ :D 

    When Half Life 2 and, later, Fallout: New Vegas came out I dropped my ENTIRE LIFE for a week to just play the crap out of those games. Those were the good old days.

    A week? PAH! I dropped my entire life for YEARS to play World of Warcraft.

    My presence in class is mandatory and my courses are just awesome. I may conciliate both since I don't have a ton of courses. So I can have a love life, go to class and play almost all the rest of the time!

    At least I guess I'm trying to. It worked pretty well until now. However I'm waiting for the next 30 minutes :smile:

    Propagating through Google Play! As soon as it appears, we'll send out an email.

    We're live! Check your email!

    How will you do for the alpha? Will you correct the bugs after the alpha or are you going to correct some of them directly?

    We will try to hotfix bugs as we go (particularly major ones), but comments about UI, usbability, balance, etc... won't be fixed during the alpha. That'll all be part of a big overhaul for the beta!

    Ok :smile:
    Oh and how do you compute game times on the leaderboards? I'm almost certain I played way more than 2 hours and a half. My guess is that you consider the time as seen by the game for your stats, and since I run at 12 FPS from dawn to dusk it must have an influence. If I'm right and you plan to use time for other things that may cause some problems.

  • bscotchAdambscotchAdam Administrator, Moderator, Tester Posts: 399 Developer
    @Ulnarevern‌ Crashes or starting your save over also lead to lost game time. We're recording the linear time spent in a single game, and the score is the max recorded (so if you crash it will be stuck at your best until you catch back up). @BscotchSeth‌ can answer the part about FPS.

    @BscotchAdam‌ Ok I understand.
    @BscotchAdam @BscotchSam‌ @BscotchSeth‌ This game is awesome!

    @Ulnarevern‌ Thanks! And nice work powering through to the top of the pack even after your late start!
  • bscotchsethbscotchseth Bscotch, Administrator, Moderator Posts: 508 Developer
    Yes sir, if you're running at 12FPS then your game time will be much lower, since Game Maker ties the game's processing speed to the FPS. We may have to evaluate whether that would cause big problems with the gameplay...

    What's your device, by the way?
