A "leaked build" is when John and I grab the latest SVN build and package it up for you guys. It has a ton of known bugs, so don't worry if it doesn't work for you. It is not condoned by David and Aubrey but we want to keep you guys in the loop and give you stuff to play with regularly!

*NEW* If you find any bugs, please email a full description along with your system specs to [email protected]. We are testing out a new bug system.

*NOTE* Please remember that these are unofficial alphas and they do not represent a finished product. They are not even polished builds, just straight up raw development dumps not intended for public consumption.

To download the alpha, use one of these links (please use the mirrors!)

Win (exe): slow original fast EU mirror 1 BitTorrent - please seed
MD5 = b85a58ab3785ac6254ed156fdec9f0df

Mac: slow original fast EU mirror 1 BitTorrent - please seed
MD5 = 011e0f9bd7ef658d3fcfa87d8f46ca87

Please use the speedy mirrors, they are all graciously provided by Mow of FoCo Gaming and should provide much faster download speeds. They will also save us a lot of money.

Just want the changes from the last alpha to a129? http://cdn.wolfire.com/alpha/diffs/a129.zip

Note! No Linux support at the moment -- we are waiting on Awesomium for these. AJS says that Linux support is on the horizon, but we cannot make any concrete estimates for it. In the meantime, we are working with the creator of Berkelium to switch to that, which has a Linux build, so we will no longer be dependent on Awesomium.

this will be so cool with armor. it can be harder to penetrate, either deflecting or slowing the attack. that would be awesome

I think that's a good idea, they should def's add that.

[Deaths Call 97]

Armor is definately a plus, however, it should also add some problems for the user, like weight and speed reduction.

Also, the animations for rabbits should be more fluid, wolves more powerful, and cats a semi-combo of both. Should also give a 'strength' style to each type, so like rabbits would be better with weapons, but not deal as much damage, wolves would deal a ton of damage, but have limited attacks, and cats would be a combo again.

This is pretty awesome and that was a good shot David did when he threw the dagger into the tree.

EDIT:
I just played and I dropped the hammer on some grassy-stony terrain, (eroded) on the woods map
and it still made a grass sound, this is not a great deal but it would be cool if it were to be fixed.

Because there's no weapon usage yet I drop hammers on peoples heads and it kills them, and when their dead I drop a weapon onto them

[Blackhawk]

Yeah armor would be cool

An armor system like Oblivion's would be cool were light lets you move fast but has little protection and vice versa

Okay, it may just be me but the "Slow Original" Download has always been faster.
I don't mind using a slower download if it saves you guys money, just don't try and trick me.
Also love the changes this alpha

It is faster, because no one uses the option. When everyone uses the slower download, it is actually slow due to bandwidth limit.

[Pete Hawk]

Great stuff yet again. But I was expecting a lot more updates

[GreenFlame]

Yeah, quite agree, physical simulation of armor penetration is awesome to think about, and many times more awesome to see and if you realize that the man, who implements it is David Rosen you can get a syncope =)
Just mindblowing awesomeness =D

[Radman]

Strange. The confing.txt changes don't affect the game. I put the fullscreen to true, but still it doesn't work as it did before.

Any ideas?

[GreenFlame]

I have Alpha 128 and i haven't found the config.txt file but i found defaults.txt at the same place, edited it and it started to work, i thought it was only like a backup for default settings but something changed, it seems. So, may be it will work the same way for you =)

[esszach]

weapons aren't sticking into trees or the ground for me

Are you trying to edit the one in the game folder or in Documents (assuming you're using Windows). I think you have to edit the one in Documents to change stuff.
