Grab the Codex by the pussy Codex USB, 2014 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
sneak system seems somewhat glitched. two examples:
1. when infiltrating the detroit gang's compound at the Pit some guards (the sharpshooter specifically who can see through walls now) react for no goddamn reason

There was a hole between meshes (since time immemorial), but since now he had a patrol route he saw through it. Will be fixed for the final release.
Like a tear in the fabric of reality? Could creatures from other dimension come through it?

If yes, please don't fix it. Postpone the release and add an Event Horizon ending.
The AoD gods did say they dwell in the darkness between the stars... we need this Iron Tower please delay until 2028 and make the spaceship an ancient roman spaceship thank you

I believe in ITS. :salute::salute:

I am curious how much revenue they need to stay in business though. Hopefully they'll let us know if they've reached their goals.

Judging by the nature of release revenue trends, I'm assuming they'll know within a week of launch.
Unless it's an instant hit (which isn't gonna happen), we won't know until 3-4 months in.
It can be an instant hit, you still have the time to add a shitton of mutant and robot sex, make all companions playersexual fuckdolls, and release a trailer focusing purely on these aspects. Remember there is like half a million zoomer BG3 fans who just finished the game and are looking for something to scratch the same itch.

we need an option to import our end of game AoD saves and fight that character as CS end boss.

you cannot use a companion's skill to get a skill token from the machine at the factory anymore. clearly a bug.

btw i love the game and trying to help you refining it into the masterpiece it deserves to be.

We haven't touched those files in a long time. Does your companion have the sufficient skill? The lines only appear when they can do it.

I really hope the game sell high enough after it's finished so we can get to see the sequel or AoD2. I feel so emotionally invested to these two games, almost as if I made them.

Heh, it's the first time it gets reported as it was checking for computers, and usually Faythe has both (or at least 3 computers). Fixed.

I was actually going to suggest that maybe the issue was no modules. Which in turn made me think that the game never really communicates in clear terms when they get used for something. Maybe [1 Electronics Module] could be added to actions that require and consume one?

Is Miltiades in this game? the answer better not be no!
The True Ending to Colony Ship:
The player-character and allies discover that the Colony Ship is already in orbit around its destination and are able to activate the control room, allowing the Ship to descend to the planet's surface. The PC and party then become the first colonists to leave the Ship and survey the immediate area, which is largely barren and has some background radiation remaining from an event in the not-too-distant past. Just as the PC and party are about to return to the Ship, they have their first encounter with an indigenous alien lifeform:

CS being a prequel for AoD isn't even that nonsensical. But my personal tinfoil hat theory is that the Ship is actually an experiment on Earth before they launch the actual ship, that would explain the gravity at the very least.

Vince already said the sequel will be on the planet 40 years after the landing.

Unless you think that's part of the experiment too.

It's all generated by Militiades chatting with AI Qantari demons in Al-Akia.

Mortismal said that Colony Ship will be the next new game that he will cover.

His videos get anywhere from 20k viewers, to 100k+ viewers.

He's pretty shallow though, I for one dont trust him doing the game justice.

Players outside the Codex Bubble don't really care about deep mechanics anyway, so doesn't really matter if the review is shallow, as long as he says the story and combat are good and that he approves it, which is probably enough to convince a bunch of his viewers to buy the game.

not debating that, folks, but I d say he's shallow even by the "outside of codex" standards. So he might actually find the game too hard & complex for him and offer his "critique" instead.
