@subzro68: hey there, thanks for giving me a second chance! i'll continue monitoring the comments, if the glitch reports are still surfacing then i'll take another look. fingers crossed, hopefully this never happens again. i hate this bug as much as u guys!!!
@flamewolf33: you get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. even as i say that, i realise it might not be the answer you are looking for. kidding aside, i'll take note of that and make sure the next game gives ample reward to completionists!
@ayra: yea, i just fixed it. sometimes the area is wrongly marked as clear when you finish a sidequest. doesn't happen in the current version now. she's always there in the city, it's just mistakenly eliminated.
although it's fixed, here's some info for those who are interested in the technicalities: the source of the bug was a *SPELLING MISTAKE* (of all things, grrr) in the code, where if you complete a sidequest, the game would have a 4% chance of eliminating the block where your daughter is hiding. she's still there though, you can win the game by checking the blocks 1 by 1. totally slipped by the playtesters and me. my deepest, deepest apologies to all!!!
there, i THINK i've fixed it. finally. fingers crossed. on a lighter note: you guys have been killing more than ONE THOUSAND ZOMBIES in one game?!? wow that's awesome! :P
wow, woke up and saw a huge flood of comments! THANK YOU to everyone for all the support, feedback and patience. i'm going to dig through the comments and read em ALL slowly. :p keep enjoying the game... watch out for future updates!
@blob62: actually..... not really. the idea was from the movie 'taken' (which my gf enjoyed!), only i thought: why not beat up zombies instead?? ;) result: "zombies took my daughter!"
v 1.0.0.1 released. most of the complaints should be addressed now. please inform me if you guys find anything else... and most importantly, HAVE FUN! :)
thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'll work on the two most common feedback:
- fix the frustrating "100% and no daughter" bug (sigh, i'm really sorry guys)
- disable friendly fire and make melee weapons more effective
my apologies... look out for the updated version in a few hours time.
