    Actually I would love to know how to do this. Maybe I'm just blind but I don't see an option anywhere to edit my original thread title. Anyone help me out here?

    That just changes the thread title in the thread... not the actual main heading. I think you need a mod to do that.

    I should be able to test that build. Had to scrap my computer sadly so I couldn't test this build :(.

    Hey, did you get my e-mail about the full auto dead zone controls? If you did, do you think any of those could be usefully implemented or would they just become too annoying for casual players?

    Hey somerandomdude....

    I didn't email you back? Sorry about that... I usually get back to everyone.

    We actually had a long discussion about about the full auto and whether we should change it or not, but ultimately decided to keep it as is.

    We basically decided that anything special like the three finger tap, or dragging the dead zone via a second finger etc would just be too complicated for the average player to figure out or use often, even if it was well documented.

    What we MAY add is some options for different setups via the options screen... but that will have to come in an update. Unfortunately the time has come that we have decided to lock down pretty much everything in terms of new features and content, and are just polishing and bug fixing at this point. It was a MAJOR stretch to fit in the melee weapons (the programmers were actually reluctant to add them in -- though the final products have changed their minds ;) and we also were able to squeeze in ipod functionality.

    So yeah, basically we are logging this as a future feature addition, but not for release :)

    How far are you in the game by the way?

    Same here and it blocks jailbreaks. That's all it does. And I want my jailbreak for ScummVM.

    Any way you could change this?

    K re download when you can. We just uploaded a new build that should be compatible with 3.1.2.

    Why did you remove Friendly and Sniper upgrades? I thought those were useful :/

    We thought that there were TOO many upgrades after adding the melee weapons to the point where it kind of became like "what the heck should i buy??" and it might be a little overwhelming, so we opted to remove a few of the "more worthless ones." Friendly will probably stay gone for good because if you DO upgrade that to max, then you get TOO much money and you basically can max out your whole set of equipment 1/2 - 3/4 of the way through the game, leaving you with nothing left to buy and more powerful then we'd like the player to be at that stage.

    This is actually something we are interested in though, as we are definitely open to putting sniper back in at least.

    I see what you mean with Friendly, but couldn't you just lower the rates? I know it can be overwhelming, but part of the fun is seeing what works, and trying to be efficient. Suggestions on what to buy early on could be in the tutorial or end game tips. Also, in any game, I usaully try to go straight for the passive upgrades. Maybe a reload speed upgrade would work?

    I've been playing through several levels of this beta so far, and I have to say I'm really impressed. This game appears to have a lot of polish. I love all the little touches- bugs running across the floor, flies flying about, paper blowing across streets, and even lights flickering. You definitely have a few startling moments, for instance when the zombies do something you don't expect like running at you full speed or that giant zombie breaks down the wall. I emailed my impressions and suggestions of the beta so far.

    Thanks Indiana :)

    Next beta release will have graphical button feedback for all the menus, better balance, and we hope to get in a sweet intro cinematic in before release. We also updated the icon, which we would really like everyone's opinions on when the build goes live.

    We're so close to release! Even though the beta is not quite over, we just want to say a quick thanks to all the testers... you guys (and girls) have been invaluable.

    Hey, I just thought of an idea for another perk to buy.

    If you can, possibly more weapon equip slots. I know that half of the reason that there's this limit is because of the amount of space that you can fit the icons, but if there's any way to fit this on the bottom of the screen, I think it'd be a pretty cool perk. Again, I'm guessing it'd be hard to do/undoable, but if you can, it'd be pretty cool.

    And I'm glad I could help. This was a great game to test, and I'm glad I could help to do what I could to make it better.
