Another frustrating day in the life of Sekaru. Let the moaning commence: First off since a few people have been asking me about the controls I've made a little tutorial system that will teach you how to hit buttons on your keyboard basically (and walk but that's not so important)...

Another frustrating day in the life of Sekaru. Let the moaning commence:

Made by me, so yeah, placeholder images (T_T).

Secondly I started working on diseases. Now diseases will occur randomly and will deteriorate certain stats. For example Dipsesis for Thirst and Hypothyroidism for Energy. I also plan to add combinations for example Myalgia for Energy AND Thirst. These are still a work in progress so I can't show off any screenshots (but the code is like totally amazing and stuffs.. but doesn't work ;]).

But yeah, the amount of new mechanics in this patch is startling, it seems that somehow each patch is bigger than its predecessor.. can't wait for the big 0.3 (/sarcasm).

On another note I'd like to take another minute (yes I'm that lazy) to shamelessly advertise our forum. Crawle is getting bigger and bigger and I imagine some of you would like to discuss it (hence why you're following it) or may have questions or even suggestions, all of that is welcome and it'll be easier for us to keep up to date with your questions, suggestions and discussions and for you to keep up to date with the latest Crawle news, so come along, grab a cup of tea and come join us on our forums:

Hah, I naturally would have clicked to move and after that didn't work, WASD. How some people couldn't just take 5 seconds to attempt something is beyond me.

Dunno, guess not everyone is willing to try something till it works.

As a general rule of game design. Only tell the players what they need to know.

A complex combo, tell them.
How to move, they can probably work it out.

Not to be critical of the game, but just take it on board. Looking good so far man, keep it up.

I completely agree with you. But I also think that if enough people don't understand something you mightaswell explain it.

I tried to install and it worked fine, but now my Anti-Virus is reporting that the .exe is Malware! D:

Don't worry, I'm not claiming that this is harming or anything, but I just wanted to mention that this issue might scare off or trouble other players.

Yeah my anti virus has started saying the same thing ever since I added multiplayer support to it. I'd just ignore it (I'm assuming you're using Avira since no other anti virus does that).
