Never thought I'd come back to say something but calm down lads. This is what Gelato does, remember back in the multiplayer update? same thing happened then. He's got his own life besides this game. Just give him the time he needs, and he'll come back.
so where are the flying machiens the handling things or other! dude just give up and end this game no ones even playing it and it been forever for a GOOD update end the game once and for all
There are flying machines and handling machines lol. This game is far from finished, and there have been moments before where there was silence followed by an update.
Well, silence followed by a complete redesign from the ground up. Every time Gelato makes some good progress he scraps it and starts from the beginning. Tbh, I don't have a problem with that, I just wish he'd keep us updated.
Whatever the case, I'm holding onto the hope that he'll eventually see this project all the way through. Gelato has made some of the best War of the Worlds games I have seen. There's great potential here.
Gelato, I hope you are alright. Please, take your time. If you are sick or busy with home stuff, or if something in your personal life is keeping you from updating, don't be afraid to take your time.
When you survive an invasion and get survival window, there is only "button" , which does nothing so I was forced to force close the game by alt+F4 as there is no other way to return back to main menu or to confirm the survival.
just gotta say, great game. made an itch.io account just to say this. one thing i noticed though is that version 0.5 is missing a lot of things from the update 0.2 video on youtube. i havent seen any handling machines, the fighting machines dont pick me up, and i cant seem to locate any military cannons, though i have seen smoke from them firing. i'm looking forward to version 0.6, and i really hope this becomes a full game. maybe the things missing is just because i escape on a boat before anything can happen, but its fine. an issue i have encountered is that the horses stay where they have been left, even in a new game. once i rode a horse to the docks and escaped, and then the next game it was still there. sorry for the long paragraph, just, thanks for making this game.
If you go near the cylinders, you can sometimes find the handling machines that spawn with them. The tripods do pick you up when they're in the collection stage, although you'll want to wait around 3 days in the 14 day survival mode to see this. Cannons also spawn, but simply as semi-random objects that fire at the tripods, I don't believe they actually do anything.
The current build, they're pretty buggy, and sometimes seem to not spawn (maybe fall out of the map), but they're there. Be careful though, as if they're not stuck on the terrain they'll move towards you, and kill you on contact. Just look around old cylinder crash sites, they don't stray too far from them. (You can find martians outside of machines around too.) When the virus kicks in all non-tripod martians instantly die, and the tripods die soon after thanks to the "sick" stage.
Nothing big, but the harvester mode on the tripods is a little silly, because the base speed of the player going backwards is faster than the movement of the tripods, and them having limited range makes them kind of pointless, so maybe a harpoon mechanic, or they call a flying machine over (maybe a fast handling machine in the future) because i sat for the last three days just walking backwards and taking screenshots of these tripods. Besides that i absolutely love the game, maybe make the tripods sound there horns a little more often, and those horns actually having meaning? like "help, im being attacked by the military" or "this guy is walking backwards and i can't reach him". thanks for your time and may there be no bugs in your coding!
Some input: I liked the inventory and survival mechanics, and I have a great memory of nailing a tripod with a cannon once in an older version, and I'd love to see that come back. I understand if these don't come back though, they weren't super important mechanics I suppose.
I think the AI for the humans and tripods are areas that could use development for sure. Mainly the Tripods using black smoke more, searching houses, maybe tracking the player better into houses to destroy them. I've found that just going into a house is almost always enough to survive. In general I've found the Tripods not very menacing after playing the game for a bit. I just feel like they don't search for humans very much. And as for humans, I'd just like to see more than the one text (not that they need tons of lines) and perhaps for them to hide inside or try to flee by train or towards trees.
Also... can we finally have a moon? I mean some sort of ambient light at night, just enough to actually travel by.
Tl:dr Amazing game, but I spend most sessions just hiding in a house until the tripods die. And its also really really easy to evacuate by boat. Like seriously I stand there on the docks, watching the Tripod slowly get closer. The ship comes in and the Tripod gets close, it's so tense will the boat get out in time? Then the Tripod just turns around and f***s off.
P.S If the boats can ever get sank, that would be absolutely epic.

It's neat, I like it.
But... Jesus, commenters on games can be the fucking worst. Its a free demo nerds; maybe don't be a dick and go touch grass.
yes I remember the Multiplayer update and I agree maybe he is doing stuff in this own life

in which build are the handling machines?
i think 0.4 or 0.2 or 0.4 patch1 one iof those
"no ones even playing it" played it yesterday
i am i love the game do you i just wish he would add that you can play as the tripod
"I plan on slowly adding in each new update" Umm I dont think you need to go THIS slow though
i love game but i think there were some better updates this update is not the best but i still love this game you made a good game
game = not dead (yet) updates = dead!

Ждите долго!
Damn, looks like we'll have to wait again guys.
Great work scedule!
feck 100+ days from last updat
the dude didnt die lmao
hey raptor jesus!
wait 99 days since last update? uh oh...
yes
hey liokkwiwiejejwie i saw your link
90+ days from last update? hopefully it doesn't turn into 100+ day hiatus again like last year...or was it 2020? can't remember
CAN YOU MAKE 2005 UPDATE
this game is based on the novel, not the 2005 film, not sure if there will be an update on that film in the future.
Gelato, I hope you are alright. Please, take your time. If you are sick or busy with home stuff, or if something in your personal life is keeping you from updating, don't be afraid to take your time.
THEN PRESS P THEN YOUR GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE MAIN MENU BUTTON
When you survive an invasion and get survival window, there is only "button" , which does nothing so I was forced to force close the game by alt+F4 as there is no other way to return back to main menu or to confirm the survival.
Nearly 80 days now, hope Gelato's alright.
yep it does seem a little odd considering that he had started posting before going radio silent again. maybe he'll re-appear at some point.
69 days, boys :trollge:

which build are handling machines in? are you referring to the tripods without guns
The current build, they're pretty buggy, and sometimes seem to not spawn (maybe fall out of the map), but they're there. Be careful though, as if they're not stuck on the terrain they'll move towards you, and kill you on contact. Just look around old cylinder crash sites, they don't stray too far from them.

i have no idea why there hasn't been an update
It's been 50 days since the last update, everything okay?
Well Gelato posted 24 days ago as well, saying he was busy with work. He mentioned getting an update out soon, though, so I do hope he's alright.

This file doesn't include the rework of multi-player that actually includes multi-player plus add it to a file :&
Found a older versions from someone else!
Cant remember what this build is but I think is 0.4 but maybe not
which build is that
Looks like either build 0.4/0.41 or one of the unnamed "BUILD"s that build off of 0.2.
i have a link that you can download this build
can i get the multiplayer build?
glitches i've experienced:
train drops me
horse does not move with train
train drops me and makes character turn along the z axis (like leaning but permanent)
the other cylinders won't cool down or open (maybe due to the change making the other cylinders not having people
random things make character turn along the z axis
the grey encased martians(?) get stuck on terrain
only fire can kill after the first few days
can clip through things, many things
Hey, could you maybe make the cylinder's heat ray not only lock onto the player when nearby if there are others there too
Nothing big, but the harvester mode on the tripods is a little silly, because the base speed of the player going backwards is faster than the movement of the tripods, and them having limited range makes them kind of pointless, so maybe a harpoon mechanic, or they call a flying machine over (maybe a fast handling machine in the future) because i sat for the last three days just walking backwards and taking screenshots of these tripods.

a question how can you get the most current builds because on youtube builds newer than 0.5 come out and how are those downloaded
So much fun, I love to see new updates.
Some input: I liked the inventory and survival mechanics, and I have a great memory of nailing a tripod with a cannon once in an older version, and I'd love to see that come back. I understand if these don't come back though, they weren't super important mechanics I suppose.

don't forget that the humans walk in the ground :/
