Anyone knows if any PC-side psionics are planned for the game?

EDIT:

No humans, including your character, have psionic abilities. If the game is well received, we'll add psionic abilites in the sequel, which will take place decades later.

Dogshit game, I'm getting a refund

No, only for game 2 if that one happens at all.

Pink eye will be missed. He was a quality example of weaponized autism.

I thought it was Goral

 

[Mauman]

Huh....what happened to Pink Eye?

His logout button wasn't working so he asked mods for help. He will (hopefully) be back.

Agreed! Codex is bleeding quality posters. Jew is winning

Goral doesn't play the game, he just shills.

Jew is winning

We were chosen by G-d to win.

This is nice, but it's not quite the same as Pink Eye.

At least it won't be AoD type development (in b4 development hell phase)

If you keep running your mouth, you will get a Pink Eye.

Anyway, just found out that the GF has a due date of april 10th with our second child. How the fuck will I even have the TIME to play this GOTY RPG of 2023?
The woe of it all.

Yeah, you're fucked. But in a nice way. But still fucked.

Co-op playthrough with new child, get him/her starting early

This way you can get shat on, both in combat and not

Go back to jrpgs. I've played the beta up till the Habitat update got released, I don't want to spoil myself and prefer to wait till whole game will be out. With Age of Decadence I didn't care since it was perfect from start to finish, CS is not as good IMO (although it's still great) hence I don't want to get bored before the full game will be released.

On a different note check out Unreal Engine coding standard: https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/epic-cplusplus-coding-standard-for-unreal-engine/

• Do not use metaphors or similes that reinforce stereotypes.
  This includes those that contrast black and white, such as blacklist / whitelist.
• Do not use words that refer to historical trauma or lived experience of discrimination.
  This includes slave, master, and nuke.

• Refer to hypothetical people using the pronouns they, them, and their, even in the singular.
• When you refer to anything that is not a person, always use it and its. For example: a module, plugin, function, client, server, or any other software or hardware component.
  Do not assign a gender to anything that doesn't have one.
• Do not use collective nouns like guys that assume gender.
• Avoid colloquial phrases that contain arbitrary genders, like "a poor man's X".

These are your usual fucked up leftist mental diarrhea but this one you don't see every day:

• Remember that your words will be read by a global audience that may not share the same idioms and attitudes, and who may not understand the same cultural references.
• Avoid slang and colloquialisms, even if you think it's funny or harmless. These may be hard to understand for people whose first language is not English, and may not translate well.
• Do not use profanity.

Progress Update
Systems update:

The update grew in scope (twice as big as what was planned originally, if not more) and as a result took a lot more time than anticipated. On the plus side, it's a very comprehensive and thorough overhaul, so it was time well spent:

- New weapons
- New feats
- New music
- Reworked feats
- Reworked implants
- Reworked evasion
- Reworked armor
- Reworked weapon balance
- Reworked Grazes and Criticals
- Improved tooltip information
- Improved inventory sorting
- Improved AI
- Improved visuals of the Habitat and the Pit
- Added unified looting and scrapping common items
- Added many new stealing opportunities
- Death Timer (you can save your downed party members if you end combat in 3 turns). That's a big change and it works surprisingly well.

Now, the good news is that it's finally done (at this stage we need players' feedback to improve further), but there are several critical bugs affected old save games (items that were changed or replaced, XP recalculated the wrong way). Nick's been working on it, but the war has disrupted the energy grid, so he's without power since yesterday. Hopefully, it will be restored soon and we'll be able to release the beta within two days.

The Pit content update:

We're a bit behind due to the systems update taking longer, so we'll probably need 2 extra weeks to finish it. Right now it looks like we'll be able to start the beta on Nov 1 and do a full release on Nov 15.

 

[Tsubutai]

The beta of the system update is now available.
