Alright, just played through my first time (on 0.11c), and I loved it. Everything works together to create a great experience, which is how games should be. All praise to ZetanDS. So far, this thing is immaculate.
The closest I had to a complaint is extremely minor, but something that I often notice in post apocalypse visuals. There don't seem to be any fungi anywhere. OK, the desert has basically claimed the land. Believable. You wouldn't see many shrooms or whatev in the blistering sun. But there are abandoned buildings, caves, etc some of which seem pretty dank... Yeast is still around, because they're making beer and bread. So with minimal resources, wouldn't somebody be farming edible mycopia?
I mean, I know Omar is a douche of the highest caliber, but shouldn't he be selling truffles and dried crimini? Or be put out of business by someone who does?
NBD Doesn't affect the game at all. Just something that popped up in the back of my mind a few times playing through. And it got me thinking... to my understanding, if we basically wiped out life, we'd pretty much end up living in a world like Nausicaa. But most movies, games, and shows set in near-total annihilation don't consider fungus as potential scenery, food source, and inadvertent antagonist. I guess it's a general oversight. Wonder why.
So that's not a knock on this fantastic AVN. Def waiting with bated breath for that 0.12 public release.
