Others Last Man + Countdown DLC [v4.38] [Vortex Cannon Ent.]

[Hesctai]

I've already made a list of changes that will be made to the game next build, based on feedback in recent days. I constantly make changes to all chapters, if it is constructive criticism. I'm here for this

Thank you for your answer, it's motivating to see that you take into account what we say. I look forward to seeing if such changes will come into being in future updates.

You are right in many aspects, but do not take into account, the events that are now in development...
... For the time being, they are not yet available in the public version
... I originally wanted to make a game where grinding is not necessary at all. ... Therefore, if you spam on the city's exploration, then with every click, the chance of success will decrease (that's why it took you so much time).
... You do not need to spam restarts to get a Break skill, you will get it later anyway and you can return to the car.
You do not need to spam exploration to get a truck, you will get it later anyway, as this is minor quest.
Etc.
If you do not fit into 90 days, then come back in a week or two. There will be more days, new quests will appear and you will be able to continue the game.
The game has 200k users, so I have statistics, how many percent players are gaining by the end of playable days. Depending on this, I add new days regularly.

Ok, it's better not to spam and the events will come after. However we need the money to unlock the scenes: Pink Rhino / the two sisters / seduce Oksana / ... we must spend any time at the casino to get this money (I did it well with my remaining shares; -)). The truck is in my opinion not so minor because it allows to have the bottles of alcohol. These unlock other scenes via the dormitory. so that's part of the story 100%.

In short, if we have to "wait" for events to come, you can not reasonably say that you can reach 100% of public content in 90 days! it's impossible. And I would not believe your statistics if they say the opposite. For example, for missions to the dormitory for example, if I did not go back in my backups, I would have spent more than 7 days to get both missions. Maybe 2% of your users have an incredible chance of getting the statistics and the money they needed for that. And again, I ask to see.

We come back to the fact that the 90-day system is not good at all and that you have to review it in priority if you do not want the majority of players to feel a great frustration. it's clearly the dominant mood if you reread the 30 pages.

I'm also working on a new Quests List. It will show what is done, where you are stuck and what you need further. It will be available to everyone, and it's much more interesting than playing on walkthrough.

I also agree. That's why I played 4 times without the solution. But I wanted to be clear that it was impossible to do 100% of the content in 90 days despite what you say. Because even with this solution, it remains impossible!

In short, I just hyper optimized my actions by returning more than 400 times in my backups and finally unlocking what was needed. On all of my 90 days I have almost no action "stupidly" lost or free. I always got something (a lot of money or the "break" skill for example). And so, by doing this way super painful, even there, I did not get to complete the 100% in 90 days.

 

[vortexcannon]

I did not get to complete the 100% in 90 days.

Wait, wait. The game considers percentages from all events, including those that are only available in early access. You will not be able to pass them until I have finished their development. I do not know where you stopped, but I think that you performed almost all the major quests available in the public version (Maybe you missed some minor quests, but in general 90 days is ok to pass 100% of the public version in your own example:biggrin:. But I plan to add more days to the next build).

I made a screenshot in my previous post. you can judge if I was far from the current version.
My last action being to go to the river. I got a phone call from who you know ...

You can see my screenshot: with my best performance, I got 78.07% and I got 27 Alpha. I managed to return a second time to Leesburg. The 90 days stopped me in full mission.

Finally, if we return to the fundamental criticism:
It does not change your bad idea to block at 90 days. In sum, for example, how can it bother you that I reach the end of the current content in 115 days?
I will not have been less motivated to play and replay your game ...
In addition, I understand your desire to try to earn some money with your work on this game by creating a Premium Club. But, as I said in the previous post, you can do it exclusively with backgrounds, characters or exclusive places that are parallel to the main story. A bit like you started with the base and the tournament but more generalized. And release that over time a bit like a simple patreon.

since the game is updated weekly and updated on Wed, does that mean the game will be updated every Wed or just any day of the following week?

 

[Archuk]

Nobody forces you to replay. It's okay if you missed a few quests, all the important tasks the game offers repeatedly. This is same as in any other games.
And of course you'll have to play very carefully to get 100%, same as the platinum trophy on PS4 or 100% achievments on xbox. This is a game.

I understand the vision of your game (a great game) and i agree almost all of the thing

said especially regarding to Alpha points, if you miss 1, because "reasons", or just because you miss clicked something in a replay trough dialogs already read many times, you know you're screwd.(Eg: going to oksana house with 24A, thats it, you can never go back to complete the scenes even if you got more Alpha) and you know from then on that the player felt short forcing a replay over and over from scratch or a save. I agree with you, it needs to be played carefully, but playes should be able to complete most of the tasks whithout the need of a walktrough. and not reach an unwinnable or lock out state altough its not exactly the case

Usually I update the Last Man on Wednesday. But I'm also a human and I work alone, sometimes the game is delayed for a day or two, if I'm sick, or have too much of other work. This week there will be a big update of

I really enjoyed the game a while ago. That time you had some 30 days or so...

but being forced to get online? MMO? Nope, sorry, not gonna happen for me. There are still countries with quite rigid laws and not very open to such kind of stuff.

Maybe there could be an offline version, a stable one that doesn't need fixes anymore, and limited without the MMO part. It also worked back the days, didn't it? I do understand cloud is a big trend, but doesn't mean your game needs a block-chain now. Not everybody wants to play a game like this sitting in the bus on the phone. I also would be fine with local save games, honestly.

Offer me a offline version and I will jump back on board in a second. But (forced)-online never been a good idea (ask Ubisoft ). Maybe, when your done with the game, and it's finished, there could be an offline variant?

Edit: I should have put that ahead maybe, but let me add it at least...

@vortexcannon: It's your game, your vision, you develop it and work on it and I do respect that.

I agree with a lot comments I read that alpha points are a bit stressful and I guess it just means players need to learn all opportunities in the game (steep learning curve), it's not unusual for VN games anyways to have to replay them until you get what you want (or use a walk through). It's another kind of grinding though but I commit a more enjoyable way than grinding resources. Also I don't really like time limits since I like to take my time exploring a game, but it's your approach and, okay, I can deal with that too.

Just... the online thingy... that's honestly unbearable for me. I also understand I'm not important enough to make an extra offline version just for me, don't worry. But maybe it's not only me, and you could think about it?

i downloaded it but the pc says its a risky app should i continue or stop .... ? i downloaded it from the official site btw

Because, all my games are amateur indie projects, they are not signed by any developer’s electronic key. For OS or some antiviruses such applications look suspicious. This is the standard procedure in modern operating systems.

@FA80
At the moment there are no plans for offline version, I'm sorry. All my current 4 games use a shared account, so you need to register only once. It takes 10 seconds and does not need any personal information. At my home, even a washing machine goes online, so it's not a problem for the gaming PC to do it

Thanks for your reply. It's maybe not a problem for you, but it is for me, that's the point I wanted to show. How much privacy one wants is maybe a matter of subjective opinion. You don't need to agree with me, I just tried to explain politely why I can't play your game at the moment / what is my problem with your game, as a feedback. It is not a matter of time and stress to register an account, it's just I don't feel comfortable being online with this game.

If you ever consider to make an offline version again, please tell me and I will try your game again. If not it's okay, too. As I said before:
"I also understand I'm not important enough to make an extra offline version just for me, don't worry. But maybe it's not only me, and you could think about it?"

Does this game have any walkthough ?
And the torrent link isnt working, can you update it ?

 

[vortexcannon]

It working, it's forum bug. Change magnet/ to magnet:

Last Man 2.40 Beta

In this build, we will be able to get to know a new girl, who our hero saw on the balcony next door. To this beauty is devoted the entire scene and, she will launch a new chain of quests, in which we learn more about how the girls live, after the end of the world.

In addition, a lot of changes in the balancing of the game have been made. Part of the random events received an increased chance of appearance. The cost of the trip between the first two cities was reduced by half, to 1500, and some quests received additional cash rewards. Also, in the new scene with the neighbor girl, described above, you can get an additional Alpha point (28th). Since this scene is available at any time from the middle of the game, it will help those who did not have enough points due to missed events. All these changes will make the game a little easier.

The game code has also been slightly optimized, and some problems that arise when the connection to the server is poor, have been fixed . Mostly this applies to players from the Asian region.

Due to the changes made, some of the older versions of the game were disabled. But I recommend upgrading to the latest version, even if you have one of the latest builds.

Changelog and links to download in first post

 

[Elfenlord]

Hey, short question.
Is there a fix date/point when the extras like the poker tournament are available for the free account?
Like the own base or the "dreams" of the girl (Diana/Diala??^^)?
And how many are those "more playable days" in the bronze account (thinking about getting that one )
Thanks!

 

[vortexcannon]

I transfer new locations (which are completely ready) from early access to public every month. Base and new Diana events will not be in the nearest public update, their stories are not finished yet and I did not worked with them in the last builds. I think there are 98 days in the club version atm.

 

[Elfenlord]

Thanks for the answer!
Is the Poker Tournament already finished?
(Will switch to bronze account in a few days, no matter if or if not, just interessted )

There will be more quests, but the current story is over. I have planned another update of the casino at the beginning of the next month (some girls will be fired :coldsweat, after which all these locations will be added to the public update.
