crowbar window was already full enough

to me the anonymity part makes it feel like that anyway. very few people who have popped into my house appear on the neighbourhood list. there used to be a lot of revenge kind of stuff a long time ago.. i haven't felt that in a fair while. sometimes someone i rob will come and look in my house, but it is rarely more than the 3-step shuffle.

how about players have the option to 'buy' old houses? have you ever tried to enter a house and seen 'this house has been repossessed by the government' or whatever it is, what if the government was selling these old houses at a reduced rate to people?

maybe it is similar to painting sales, where each design is displayed with the original value, and over time that price tag drops. although you'd have to have a limit because $2000 for a house that originally cost $100,000 might be a bit too much.... although.. if the person who bought it can't figure out the self-test maybe it'd be okay.. ah, i dunno.

lack of self-test for family means i just put a grid to execute my partner and a powered door/trapdoor in a horrible 'this is simply a game mechanic i am going to exploit, these pixels are nothing more to me than that' kind of way

i already hold my family with a fair amount of contempt. they currently earn too much money to just discard. where is the divorce+alimony options

just for the record there would be no point making a wall out of power supplies, it would not act like a steel wall at all, as it would be providing power constantly to every adjacent tile, unlike a steel wall which could be turned off.

the two maps below are basically identical, one is just going to cost you a lot more for no reason.

i mean you're welcome to have a wall made of power supplies if you think it looks good, but it isn't going to really benefit you unless you want power coming out of that many tiles for some strange reason

http://castledraft.com/editor/Ui5lX6 yeah i guess it looks kind of fun

the son will run all the way to the exit and leave if you hide after the initial spotting, but the daughter just moves over and cuddles mummy

ukuko had an interesting idea earlier, i don't think super game-breaking but you don't know if you don't propose!

so basically, power sources actually taking up a tile, instead of being some kind of.. subterranean sunken generator.. because.. well, seems more realistic to have power coming from a large unit rather than a flat tile.

i think it'd work fine with water breaking it (cheap $100 power cut off, but tile is still an obstacle) and with blowtorch melting it (power off, passable at $800). maybe even adding it as being 'breakable' with a club/crowbar, but still impassable. hm!

very quick mock-up art.. (it'd probably look better with some kind of red alert tesla coil kind of junk coming out of it!)

long have we wanted up trapdoors in edit mode!

also this is unrelated but made me giggle.. http://i.imgur.com/YJu6dpp.jpg clicky click

i think my slowly-developing house was just the victim of this suicide smashing. i don't mind. there isn't much else to do and vandalising someone's three days of work in 10 minutes for nothing is totally what i have done in the past.

but right now it is kind of.. well. there was only 1 house when i checked earlier.

will be an interesting change to see.

it's the rockin'est club in town!

can it be a golf club? i hear lots of people keep golf clubs under their bed!

..my dad keeps an axe under his bed.
