Requesting refund, dissatisfied pre-order customer

Hi, I pre-ordered the game on 6/18/2012. Shortly after ordering, I posted a brief lament on these forums, saying that I felt ripped-off (after struggling to get the Alpha to run at all, etc.). One of the members of the creative team rushed to offer me a refund at that time, apologizing, and saying t...

Re: What do you want to be implemented in the next build?

(1) I would like to know the name of the model in Akazi's avatar. (2) I'll cut-and-paste a few remarks on gameplay that I made off-topic in the Mac forum, not expecting that it will do much good: ----- My hope would be that the final combat mechanics are more like Virtua Fighter 2 (in a sense define...

Re: Mac Users (Alpha Testing)

Yeah, it's off-topic for this forum, but the combat control are no so mysterious as I already paid full price for the original Lugaru. I'm also "suspending judgement" on the combat because the game is still in Alpha. My hope would be that the final combat mechanics are more like Virtua Fig...

Re: Mac Users (Alpha Testing)

The new alpha (No 183) does load and run fine on my Mac (10.6.8, with a graphics card that is listed as acceptable on the corresponding wiki page) and I'm surprised to see that the frame-rate, etc., are very good, despite the fact that it is running in a window (with other programs going at the same...

Re: Most desired features, given Overgrowth's online comic,

Well… speak of the devil… Don't know if you guys already saw the changes discussed for Alpha 183, but (coincidentally or not) the "conduct" of the character (in the Nethack sense of the word conduct) is now tracked on screen for you. Unlike Nethack, I assume that all rabbits are vegetarian...

Most desired features, given Overgrowth's online comic, etc.

I can't quite cover it in the subject-line, but I thought I would open a question to encourage the type of discussion that I thought I would find here in the "secret" forum (but have not found so far). The question is made less broad by the information we've already got, in the form of the...

Modest dissent

I would like to take this opportunity to state (without offending anyone) that as a fan of the original Lugaru I am not a fan of Receiver and I would prefer to hear that the Wolfire team was working on Overgrowth than further expanding Receiver. This is not a flame. This is not an attempt to insult ...

Re: Mac Users (Alpha Testing)

To all assembled (and, yes, I'll send Jeff an e-mail off-list): (1) I did say that I have patience, and, (2) I did say that I'm aware of the difference between an Alpha and a Beta --and I know that "playable Alpha" is a contradiction in terms along the same lines as "square circle&quo...

Re: Mac Users (Alpha Testing)

There was a typo in the first reply to my original posting: I'm not using 10.5, but 10.6… Again: 10.6.8, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 …I do not know if that is considered "hopeless" as was stated in the reply from Hoodz. Let me tell you something guys… …I did read all of th...

Mac Users (Alpha Testing)

I tried clicking through the forums and searching for the word "Mac", but I found this really counterproductive (and didn't find much). It seems obvious that someone needs to start a separate message thread for Mac users (by all means, anyone can post here on any bugs --I'm not creating th...
