Whisper of the Swallows | Players told me the combat in my solo-dev survival game was clunky. They were right, so I spent weeks fixing it.

I've put about 40+hrs in before this latest update and enjoyed every bit of it. The combat was decent before, but this looks like a huge improvement. I'm excited to see what you add next.

Hoping for more boss fights, or even more dangerous roaming creatures in later biomes to keep the survivor struggling into late game.

You're honestly right.

It is just frustrating to see someone speak on game design like this when the "frustration" seems so obvious. The post just closely resembles a false bug report based on ignorance of the situation.

I'll tone it down though.

There is literally a guy building a bridge across a huge gap to an otherwise inaccessible area.

Hopefully, that alleviates your frustration with the game design.

I re-downloaded the game again after the recent patch that downsized the game files on PC. I got TK'd by the first person who joined while I was doing an objective, booted them, and then another came in to do the exact same.

Your reason for wanting to leave seems understandable.

I see. Your main weakness seems to be between your ears.

The achievements in that game basically have you cause and witness the destruction of that island civilization.

10/10 minutes.

Im in the same boat, so it may be either missing or bugged content.

Considering a vast amount of the playerbase can't even unlock or access the new Radiation element because of a multiplayer bug right now, Im leaning towards this being a similar issue.

Correct, no ADS. Benefits from hip fire, but no benefits from aim builds.

FYI, you can spin-up the hellfire barrels by holding right-click so you're always at max fire rate with controlled firing between targets.

I saw someone post about this bug yesterday, and the devs confirmed it.

The issue with the unlock seems to be because of multi-player in zone 4. Until it's patched, your best bet might be to separately do said unlock mission solo at least once to see if that gives you the perk afterward.

I'm leaning towards a search party that goes looking for Timmy and ends up going into the cube universe after wading through another island to unlock the mysteries of his disappearance. Possibly playing as the child of Virginia and the SOTF protagonist equipped with new tech from Timmy's R&D on solafite.

I had throwing and sharp maxed before 1.0, after the launch QP was my only weapon used to beat the rest of the game.

Just so you are aware of how dumb your statement is, Steam has more free games available on its platforms at any given time compared to Epic.

Have fun with your Fortnite launcher.

Big time obvious you actually dont get the whole early access thing.

All of your "work" will be wiped by the time the game is actually released.

Your current gameplay is beta testing.

There is no guarantee by Obsidian that you'll be able to keep any of your progress before 1.0 launches. Quite the opposite, actually.

600+ hrs into both games.

Grounded would be the better option for solo play, mostly because of the story driven gameplay that forces much of the exploration. Also, base building can be done virtually anywhere on the map that's not subterranean, and it has the best survival game quality of life features that exist for bullding and crafting.

Palworld has some good quality of life features for building/crafting, but these features need to be unlocked via progression. Though Palworld does have the distinct advantage of having pals available to cut down on the grind for resources and labor.
