Unreal Engine Delta Zone [v21.0] [DEVOLUTION]

[Astcit]

Keep in mind we're fundamentally not supposed to be able to play it. While I too wish DRM would go fuck right off, I also do not blame him for implementing it. That being said, I will play it anyway because I'm a dirty pirate .

Not defending the dev here, since I too think it's a scam for what has been done so far, but people forget devs also need to pay rent, buy food, you know, pay to being able to continue to exist in pretty much anywhere in the planet. On bigger projects, there's also resource allocation, so you have to pay other people to do what you want how you want it done. And so on...

Now, what would allow it to go on for extended periods of time? A one-time purchase, or a subscription?
Exactly... it's sadly how the world works today. You don't make products anymore, you make services based heavily around hopes, dreams and lots and lots of lies and excuses.

Bruh, that game has one of THE most counter-intuitive control setups I've ever seen. It's like the dev went
"Hm, there are control schemes that have been in use for decades now and EVERYONE uses it. But why the hell should i too? Fuck em, I'll just make the most messed up, confusing and irrational mess of controls I can, see how they like it!"

There is tons of extremely annoying decisions in this demo so far, the controls, UI, gigantic maps first instead of systems and gameplays implementation first. It's a clusterfuck of good ideas thrown togheter with spit and duct tape.
This one issue of controls is also so fucking easy to solve, let the user fucking rebind keys. There's tons of guides, tutorials, and free examples on how to do it in ANY Unreal Engine version.

Maybe it'll be done later, maybe not, who knows.

So, after finally figuring out what I was doing wrong with the installation, I was able to play this game. I also got User ID is corrupted and it's because the Pre-Cracked version is already cracked. I figured that because there's a link to download the crack that the "Pre" part of Pre-Cracked meant that it was "before cracking" not "already cracked" but oh well.

Now, I suck at FPS games and not used to using keyboard and mouse, so after having enough of a difficult time, I lowered the difficulty and activated a few cheats.

My question though is, where am I supposed to go? I talked to the trader and then met and talked to the virtual girl. I went from the Highway to the City Outskirts then to the City where I wandered for a few hours. Then I went to the other exit to City Outskirts, followed by the other exit to the Highway. Went onto the Hoverbike, fell through the ground in a hilarious way, then went to the Swamp. Am I missing something?

If you are playing 0.19, you're not 'supposed' to go anywhere, there aren't any goals yet.
With 0.20, they added quests.

Thank you, that helps because it definitely is 0.19.

Don't stare too long into the Abyss, my friend, you know why...

There is tons of extremely annoying decisions in this demo so far, the controls,

Word. I tried the game last year, quickly dropped it. Big world, but basically empty, lots of features still WIP, can't remember whether the Quad still had no textures back then or just got them, but that was lame. Just one type of enemy with iirc 1 animation. Stupid UI. Shit controls, etc. The idea is good, but the realization is like he just randomly works on stuff as he feels like it, then gives up before it's finished and then goes to fuck around with other stuff.

That's the feeling I have too. Hard to say tho.

Well for non-porn, usually its:

One-time fee for base game.
One-time fee for DLC/Expansions.
Microtransactions layered on top.

Usually they make their biggest bank on DLC/Expansions. I think Diablo 3 made more money on Reaper of Souls, than it did the base game.

You do have whales and cows that will fund microtransactions, but a lot of people don't like paying for them, and don't if they are cosmetic only.

It's mildly entertaining seeing this thread slowly grapple with ideas of supply & demand economics without even acknowledging their influence.

Just in case it's not clear - you, me, we are all voluntarily participating in a niche, supply-constrained market. That means the person who controls the supply (the developer) gets to set the rules of the market.

If you don't like those rules, you're free:

A) leave the market, until the rules change to your liking
B) take your money/attention/engagement to the existing competition (which is thin at best)
C) grow the supply by developing your own "shooter with porn" game, with blackjack and hookers
D) bitch and moan endlessly about money you're not paying, while thirstily lapping up every version of the game that leaks

have to work on the other hole to make it worth looking.

 

[jllkfsdj]

It's not supply and demand that define the market, but brand, reputation, and hype.

And lobby groups. Harley Davidson had to be rescued by the gov how many times now? 5? 10?

I mean, we used to get official releases - they were just delayed. Devolution got tired of update after update people were making cracks to get the current paid update before it was made public, so I guess they just kind of got rid of the public updates.

I, like most others, still agree that DRM should fuck off entirely. It doesn't even do much to stop pirating anyway, and if you're going to make any kind of media (games, music, videos, art, whatever), you should already know that it will be pirated no matter what you do. This has always been the way, and the sooner more developers understand that it's pointless to waste development time implementing DRM, the better the games will end up being. Pirating is just free advertising anyway.

can anyone share their save file?

Modified [game settings] Medium playthrough. Easily attainable in less than four hours. Main gun with Structural and Composite parts and thousands of rounds and Euros in storage.

Are there actually more then 2 enemies?
The soldier and the tentacles.

I managed to glitch under the map



Looks like there's grass and other things placed below or inside mountains and buildings
And whatever that tower thing on the right is
Game crashed a few moments later

Somewhere below the highway map. I think I was close to hideout area

The tower thing was in the first update that had emission zones that changed your appearance. Haven't played in a while, so its probably the same thing and its just having an emission zone in that area but without the tower visible.

The idea of placing things below or inside things, is a common mapping trick, I think first pioneered by bethesada. If you noclip in morrowind, oblivion, or skyrim, you'd see the same overall things going on.

Greetings,

Perhaps I'm wrong or mistaking, but it seems the Crack doesn't work with the version 20.2 of the video-game.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, or have I done a dum-dumb?

Update on the issue : now the video-game tells me the ID is "corrupted" both for the versions 19 and 20.2 so what could have possibly happened?


Yet another edit on my behalf. No matter how I proceed about it (downloading the Crack provided by lnomsim or updating the Main.lua) the version 20.2 just refuses to cooperate. Meanwhile downloading the version 19.0 and applying the Crack worked. So there is something that I broke, then fixed yet I can't figure out what exactly neither how I did any of that.

Any help would be appreciated to get version 20.2 working.

Final edit because I've been hitting my head against a brick wall and feel like I could need some much needed rest. I'm back to the "ID corrupted" issue after launching version 19 (successfully) then version 20.2 (not-so-successfully). For some unknown reason, having both versions downloaded on my computer hinders the Crack for version 19. Meanwhile version 20.2 and its own dedicated Crack never worked for me.

I swear that I've been careful with my process. Downloaded version 19, then its Crack. Launched the video-game once without installing the Crack, then installed it. It worked flawlessly. I then proceeded with the download of version 20.2 and its Crack. Same procedure as for version 19 but the Crack immediately refused to acknowledge "crack0" as a valid input. Then version 19 no longer worked and gave me the "ID corrupted" error.
