ALPHA PRERELEASE IS OUT

Posted by JID on Oct. 20, 2011, 11:57 p.m.

The Alpha prerelease for TWE is out. If you want to play it before it is released publicly, just comment. ~~or find the seekret link for it hidden in this blog.~~ <— You weren't 'sposed to know that. D:

There's still much more room for improvement(especially for the lobbies and stuffs) for the public version of the alpha, and I'm hoping that I can release it soon.

Some of the changes:

-Replaced the map "Confinement" with a new map, "Last Stand", because Qwilder hates Confinement.

-Rebalanced maps, weapon damage, AI.

-Perfect Spawns

-Smarter AI

-Armor Upgrades(There are only two for now, Halo style overshields and Forcefields)

-New weapon effects

-Better Graphics

-Redesigned maps

-Bug/Glitch fixes

-Thousands of more improvements

Link is gone, nigga.

Tell me if you get any errors or bugs, which you will most likely get.

Also, please note that this prerelease version will have some unfinished things in terms of the menues, and all that junk. The public alpha will most likely be a zillion times better.

I did not notice that the AK could do headshots actually, probably because I almost never put the cursor over enemies when shooting at them.. I knew the sniper could do headshots, but I hate using it because the turn speed is so slow XD

How dare you say you hate using the sniper. D:<

Maybe you should have a change log for this, there's so many new things to keep track of lol

Yeah, I should actually. D:

Y u take out Confinement? :(

Because Qwilderwibben said he hated it in one of his videos. He didn't like it because he found it hard to survive when you first spawn. I am going to add it back in, because it's kind of easier to survive now, with all the buffed assualt rifles.

and whenever I hear a bullet break a window in game, I feel a little happier inside…this scares me D:

Eh, using a long-range weapon in short-range combat, you know…just doesn't work out for me :P

(yet short-range weapons work nicely for long-range combat…I think I just broke the correlation D:)

And dun listen to Qwilder, he is teh spec ops nub after all >:D

So, you use the shotgun to kill someone across the map? D:

LIES. >=A

colseed 13 years, 1 month ago

Actually the shotguns feel the most underpowered of all the guns so far…

Like I can't even kill someone at point-blank range with the shotgun - charging and spamming the melee button works better than the shotgun does lol

also there should be pistols, so I ken kill enemies across the map wid dat :3

JID 13 years, 1 month ago

There are pistols actually, but they're only on one or two maps, so far.

I hope you know, all the maps in the Alpha aren't all the maps in the game, there's still like 5 or 6 maps that aren't even in the alpha/haven't even been revealed yet.

Also, you really think the shotguns are underpowered? Every time I play, I run around rampaging with the shotty and the Trong gun(the alien version of the shotgun).

Maybe, you just dun has teh skills necessary to beast like I do. :>

Also, I'm thinking about adding a sawed off double-barreled shotgun to the game, as a pickup weapon.

It will be able to take out multiple enemies if they are in range and you shoot both barrels rapidly.

So, it's pretty much like the Gears 3 sawed off, but actually balanced.

After playing a bit more of TWE, I see what you're talking about with the shotgun.

I will give the shotty a slight buff with its gib distance.

So, what I mean by gib distance is that you will be able to one shot enemies with the shotgun from a little bit farther in distance.

colseed 13 years ago

Yayyy

also +1 knowledge because now I know what gib distance is :D

and I shall have to go looking for these mythical pistols O_o

(unless they're not in the alpha lol)

JID 13 years ago

There aren't any pistols in any of the alpha maps, I will try to put them in more maps, and release some new maps in the next alpha that have them.

colseed 13 years ago

HUZZAH

then I'll be able to snipe snipers with pistols ~~just like in Bad Company 2~~ :D

also I just realized I should have read the controls in the blog before playing…lol

JID 13 years ago

yeah, no one ever reads the controls for some reason.

Also, did we just seriously just comment like 20 times? D:
