I realise though, that this new bounty system means that most of your income will be from collected tools. Which means its entire value goes to the safe. If a robber buys 2k of tools, and dies at your door step, your wife gets 25, and your safe gets 25+1000 in tools. The chance your safe will be busted while you're offline and that you'll lose the majority of your income is actually worse than before because the wife plays a much smaller role.

Maybe bounties should reward lower value houses more? Not with the current value system though, since rich houses will just buy paintings to keep value low and get larger bounties...

Personally, the lack of sound is creepier and more atmospheric. Just the flat eerie tones of the ambiance is enough to stress you out. Maybe some scary mechanical sounds of trapdoors/powered doors slamming open and shut ala Silent Hill?

Or build a 1.5k trap home, instead of being lazy and attempting 2k tool robberies...

I usually spend all of my money off the bat to build a efficient value house that I can still upgrade later. Then I go door to door without tools and play super safe. After an hour or so, I have an extra 2-4k which I can use to upgrade my house substantially, and I continue to enlarge it until it takes up all the real estate. You can do this with wooden walls, because you'll realise, 1 cement wall is only worth 3 layers of wooden walls, yet cost disproportionately more. So, don't try to save space at first. After I have a surplus of 20-30k, I can completely renovate the place and make a suitable fortress. Usually by that point, I'm no longer robbing. I save money for paintings, and rarely on a whim, demolish some rich guys house.

Lmao, I wonder if there can be an elitist alpha vet club or something. The amount of crying from new steam players is insane, meanwhile, my house is raking in so much money I can barely keep up. Such a nightmare to balance. It's like some kind of horrific grindhouse if you keep your house at around 5-10kish, because respawn players dump themselves at your feet with pitiful 2k tools trying to break your 50k+ puzzle house.

Although the definitions of beta and alpha seem to vary from dev to dev, alphas are generally used for feature implementation. Since we're still getting new features and introduced completely different game behaviors, it's more an alpha than beta.

I meant it in jest. I would be plenty excited if he did do it, and it opens up the game to a new market as well. My only concern is that the game might be a bit of a headache inducer given a phones tiny screen and on screen controls. Perfect for a tablet though.

Sounds fine. You already have movement confirmations too, so that'll help with touch screens. Building might need to be simplified a bit. Maybe a scrollable toolbar or something. God that sounds too awesome... Do it!

(please dont do it)

Nice! But I think I'm gonna dread the changes this time =/.

How would pitbulls ever be in clubbable range then? They either are already next to you and kill you as you pull it out, or they stand too far away to be clubbed. Unless you're saying that u cant club them ever, and we'll have to just shoot them.... At which point, pitbull walls will be the best thing ever.
