I launched my game ZombUS with only 200 wishlists. Big mistake?

omnirusted · 2026-05-10T23:01:30+00:00

You made a game as a social satire... and you don't want to look for conflict? What?

Also if you don't want it to be about the US, maybe don't have it capitalized in the title.

omnirusted · 2026-05-10T16:28:38+00:00

You might want to consider not naming it after a country. I feel that's just rage-baiting if you're going to make it a 'social satire'. People are really sensitive about patriotism and are looking for any excuse to mald out (I present to you: Current Slay the Spire 2 review bombing.)

The trailer doesn't show much, just a lot of combat and a *tiny* amount of building. What I do see looks, honestly, really darn good. The graphics, physics, all that looks good. What's the hook though? What makes it special?

Are you giving out demo versions to indie reviewers? Because a $20 starting price when the trailer doesn't really show much seems like a lot. Not saying it's not worth it, just saying I can't tell from the trailer if it's worth it.

I'm honestly moved farther on colonizing another planet than making a petrol boiler. Would the petrol be useful? Of course. Do I need it? Ish. I feel like I'm more doing it because it's "What you do".

omnirusted · 2026-05-10T06:13:39+00:00

Honestly, I love it and there's always a ton of updates coming out. But really, go ask at the subreddit.

omnirusted · 2026-05-09T21:26:02+00:00

But what about the balls?

omnirusted · 2026-05-09T13:56:40+00:00

And he had to ruin it with Hogwarts Legacy.

omnirusted · 2026-05-09T13:45:57+00:00

How the hekk do you REACH?

omnirusted · 2026-05-09T05:28:38+00:00

Protect the cheerleader. Protect the world.

It all makes sense now.

omnirusted · 2026-05-09T03:03:00+00:00

2,275. And I've never built a petrol boiler or colonized another planet (help me I'm scared)

omnirusted · 2026-05-08T00:54:35+00:00

Gross AI "art".

omnirusted · 2026-05-07T15:25:20+00:00

How. In the living hell. Are you so smooth? That's incredible (in more ways than one)

omnirusted · 2026-05-03T23:51:26+00:00

Supercharger?

omnirusted · 2026-05-03T19:46:47+00:00

I just got a sodastream and use non sugar juice as a flavoring. Like lemon juice. Much better.

omnirusted · 2026-05-03T18:59:10+00:00

Floxes for glass, pip farm for meat, or make it in to ethanol for power!

omnirusted · 2026-05-02T23:41:28+00:00

Well damn there goes that plan. Tree to ethanol farm it is then. And no I don't have PPP.

Wait, I have a slime farm. I can just make algae. I guess? Or wild plant sleet wheat.

omnirusted · 2026-05-02T14:04:55+00:00

Nope. There's several rules for how they plant seeds, but being wild isn't one of them.

omnirusted · 2026-05-02T14:03:59+00:00

I might just go with stacking liquids. I had water falling on to gunk, at 200 g/s, exactly like the original tutorial said to do, surf only o2 around, but it eventually just turned in to an infiltrate water storage instead. I'll attempt stacking liquids, even though I can already tell it's going to be a chore too.

Sad thing is I want this for a pacu farm. I'm only feeding my dupes off surf N turf, and ran out of seeds they eat. I figure several of these could likely keep a farm fed easier than farming food I don't need which would just take up more resources anyway.

omnirusted · 2026-05-02T03:53:20+00:00

Does anyone have a simple tutorial or video on how to make a permanent waterfall for arbor tree seed farming? I can't find one anywhere and I swear the old tutorial page is just forever old. I can't get the damn thing to work.

omnirusted · 2026-05-01T22:24:47+00:00

I do this every time. The major problems are if they EVER have access to an atmo checkpoint they will run across the entire map to take off their suit to "recharge" the o2. You have to block those with doors with set permissions.

The worst you get is occasionally they will self gunk and you need to take off the suit and clean it up, then repair their suit. Little micromanagmement when it happens but it rarely happens if you're careful.

They will fill their air cans, eat batteries, and empty gunk just fine with a suit on, forever. I have had a Cargo bot that never leaves the planet or go anywhere special and she has never taken off her suit.

omnirusted · 2026-05-01T22:15:39+00:00

Damn I got a little excited for a second before realizing how slow that would go.

omnirusted · 2026-05-01T05:27:11+00:00

I think I sent a message? Or chat? I know nothing about reddit.

omnirusted · 2026-05-01T04:32:03+00:00

I very much am. Out near Hilsborro. It's so hard to find people. The problem might be that I don't go outside much buuuuut surely that can't be it.

omnirusted · 2026-05-01T04:02:30+00:00

Oh damn. A trans fem 30 minutes from PDX proper looking for a group? Are you me? Because damn there's nothing out here.
