I really like the prioritization option for getting rid of some of the early tedium!

[@vid101.]

The new energy distribution system seems a lot more noob friendly.

[@migueeeelet]

seems like it'll help with early game, which is a slog in CW 3

[@vid101.]

@@migueeeelet well it is mostly but it never gets boring. Or at least it dosent for me.

[@migueeeelet]

@@vid101. Nah, it's not boring, but I've found CW games to last for a bit too long. The more stuff that can be streamlined to cut off a few minutes (and let us enjoy the actual action, not just micro collectors), the better.

He did say you can turn it off if you like the old system better. It seems a lot nicer for the early game building grind though

@@user-jm8sy5ox2j it is a lot nicer and also the most efficient possible, since you get your production going faster than if you overbuild a bit

He says the biggest map is huge, but honestly, I would love to have even more room. The size could be quadrupled before I would say it's big enough. I want a map so big it takes me 8+ hours to beat.

good job on shifting grind off build order to more interesting stuff

[@tmanook]

Oh wow, the improved packet routing is incredible. Will make the game much more interesting to a wider audience. Nicely done. With over 1,500 hours in CW3 I find myself stumbling over the keys for the CW4 demo. Feels uncomfortable. I guess I'll get used to it. I haven't dug into the demo pt. 2 yet, so maybe things are settable. Such a pretty game. Looking forward to it :)

[@phoephoe795]

Looks like the Creeper really needs to evolve some anti-air defenses. Also it'll be pretty useful to select a unit to auto-rebuild.

[@destructivforce2894]

Aww, I missed it without realizing it was going on :( To be fair, I probably would have missed it anyways due to being busy... at least there's this to watch

[@FlyingDominion]

I think the CW4 stream was scheduled for 10 a.m. on Steam. I think the time it showed me was localized (Pacific Time) but I'm not sure.

[@matthewavery8756]

Thanks @knucracker, I have followed this series of games for a very long time and it is definitely one of my favorites of all time. You have been an awesome game dev and I am continually impressed by your interaction with the community. I appreciate your dedication to enabling the modding and mapping community, it has really made your games timeless!

[@Shlonzs]

It looks amazing, I love there’s a mini map but it looks kinda unfinished yet It would be nice if there would be a pointer for the camera on the mini map and a corresponding direction pointer or a trapezoid outlining the area currently looked at And also I think it would look nice if the mini map’s corners could be softer

[@Terra-Antares]

Could you tweak the AC sprayers so that they actually count towards bluite generation (in the factory UI)? This was something that's overlooked in CW3 and I'd sometimes get confused why my AC was going up but generation was at 0.

[@GaiaDblade]

It would also be helpful (but I can see there is limited space) if the vi can show sprayers and miners have separate income.

[@andrewjones9547]

the variable does not go up when ore goes the the thing it goes up by how many mines there are

[@Lapantouflemagic0]

by the way shouldn't the creeper have some sort of anti-air defense ? it really seems that spamming airplane is a surefire victory

[@FlyingDominion]

Its defense is that your air is cost inefficient and can't prevent it from putting out more creep. I know CW3 has air exclusion units. If you want the creeper to have some in this one too, you can make it custom yourself.

[@sjkhay1027]

I picture the old railroad expert from pawn stars, mark hall-patton, when I hear you speak and I'm having a hard time reconciling now that I can see your face

[@UlyssesCrab]

Watching Creeper World 4 be built from essentially the ground up. With the frankly amazing back end tech, beautiful visuals and competent AI all made by one man makes me quite ashamed of my limited coding abilities 😂 You’ve done an AMAZING job on all your games Knuckle Cracker but this is your masterpiece!

when painting the trees on the editor, maybe you could do it like when you hold the button and move the painter, it only places new trees in the new area you are moving over and not the area you were already... that way it would make it easier and more intuitive i think... and there would be no flickering (i gess on clicked move everytime the cursor goes to the next tile it does a new click?) just a random feedback from what i have seen in the stream video on ~1:26:15

[@EdwardHowton]

I'm not even going to buy this game on sale. In fact, I'd like to know if Steam is the best option for me to buy it, or if there's some other way I can buy it at full price that gets you the most money from my purchase. This thing is pure quality, and buying it at a discount feels like a slap in the face. Quality needs to be rewarded. I will admit, though, that I'm a bit irrationally annoyed at the waves. I played the 9th demo mission last night and the anticreeper was sloshing around in the bottom part of the map but it was nice and calm in the top right corner (in the default view) and part of me was just... uncomfortable about how messy it looked. I love the waves as a mechanic for the creeper, but AC being as fluid just... feels weird. That's probably just me though. Oh, and I absolutely love the build priority thing. Yes please. I take a long time before unpausing the game placing towers all over the place and focusing on placing guns and important structures so ALL of my game starts are ridiculously slow. I usually manage to power through out of sheer persistence and luck, but that will be amazing for me. This can't release soon enough, if you ask me.

[@GaiaDblade]

With the layer texture editor, you can make a custom map look like neonpunk. =)

[@datonkallandor8687]

It looks awesome. The only thing I'd want is some way to make Soylent spread in a Particle Fleet way (unlimited range, slowing down with distance from towers, stopped by void). Maybe an ERN upgrade or expensive building that globally enables it. Or maybe it could have a red/blue/green resource cost. And more gun and other tower types for the player of course but I suspect those are going to be in anyway (like the huge cannons from previous CW titles).

[@soulreaper55123]

Might there be an Anticreeper equivalent to the Crimson Tide? Pushing back Creeper with solely Anticreeper might give an interesting aspect to certain custom maps.

[@Yoshmin34]

[@thomaswodarek1257]

[@mikhaelmacherkevich6201]

What an amazing game. Demo was a bliss.

[@dagll3667]

I don't know if this was addressed before, but why do nullifiers no longer actually destroy the enemy structures? It may seem like not that big of a deal, but really it makes a big difference in the feeling of it, after the previous games - the emitters/nests/etc just stay there as eyesores and the nullifier continuously requires an energy supply. I can live with the latter, but the former is just kind of unpleasant. Love your work, though!

[@NimbleBard48]

Yeah, every single one of my missions in CW3 took me 60+ minutes juest because I loved doing the full defense/nullify all creeper thingy.

[@lulzmachineify]

Really looking forward to trying out erg! I really wish the LOS issues were toned down a bit in CW4 though. Like how hard it is for Cannon to shoot downwards. Perhaps just decreasing the difference between the height levels?

[@anthrosaurian]

As far as the "Mesh"/"Digitalis" goes.. you mention putting an emitter on it turns it blue.. Could placing a Sprayer unit on Mesh make it behave in a similar fashion for AntiCreeper? Just a thought

[@FlyingDominion]

58:00 I'm looking forward to maps with Tron lines.

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

Is there going to be any rebalancing of blobs or spores before launch? Its incredibly annoying and not really a fun feature to get bombarded by blobs constantly and need multiple overlapping snipers to protect buildings while still having missile towers covering the landscape to protect from spores

[@claysanford915]

It’d be really neat if we could have archways, but I guess with how creeper is for drawheight to be density that’d be impossible without some major changes.

[@jper1245]

[@vantuz8264]

I think there should be always visible indication of spore launch time, stash capacity etc above spore launchers etc. Pixel-hunting on mini-map isn't good. So is trying to find blue things in a sea of blue to hover over them.

[@KeinNiemand]

The chronom it's feels like going back to the much much worse map generator from creeper world 1 with no options instead of keeping the dial map device from creeper world 3 and particle fleet. Why remove all the options from the DMD? Even the Mark V random map generator seems more like code missions from creeperworld 2 there should still be an advaced DMD like map generator somewhere

[@Bobucles]

1:14:10 subtle Chaos represent

[@sebbes333]

*@knucracker* Can you make a terrain / area that is the opposite of decayable terrain? So the creeper can construct bridges. So you start with a "void islands" map, but eventually the creeper floods it all & creates a kind of "creeper terrain" (maybe it's like normal terrain with Containment on?) Then you can strategically either defeat the creeper before it can reach you, OR let it build as much as possible, so you can take over & re-use that terrain.

[@sebbes333]

Maybe even have some way for the creeper liquid to grow & expand special terrains? . Because I feel like the creeper needs to increase in difficulty over time, otherwise you just build up enough forces & energy to be able to remove more creeper than is emitted & you have automatically won, it's just a matter of time.

[@sebbes333]

1:57:40 That "bug" can be turned into a nice "feature", a map-layer that shows where the last (10? 20?) kills happened for a specific enemy type, it can show if you have an area that is unusually weak & lets enemies in further than it's supposed to do.

[@Galactis1]

I picked up the demo and love game. It's a cool little time waster but, does take a little learning curve and some paying attention. It ramps up semi quickly actually in difficulty and I like that. I'm really excited to see more. Also to DEV. Will there be a possibility of network functionality for users to upload custom made maps? Might be a really cool feature for long term growth of the game.

[@Galactis1]

Anyone know how to show the field under the tower? When I build my towers, I do not see the green squares anymore for some reason.

Just beat mark V sample in the demo and still have no idea how to make a factory or what they're used for. I put them next to the red crystals and they seem to do nothing. Also my missles don't work. I'm guessing they're related but I think new players could use more instruction on this tutorial.

[@CathodeRayKobold]

Whoa...this game has graphics now.

[@ChilledfishStick]

The void doesn't make much sense to me in how it works. It's mostly just background, except when creeper explodes over it, and even being at level 0(?), the creeper can sometimes climb cliffs that it touches. It can even be targeted by spores, even though it's not really a part of the map. In short it's very confusing. I never quite sure what to expect when creep is on void.

[@alexandererhard2516]

I think it when it comes to Creeper flow, it works as if it has elevation 1000+, because Creeper can't flow on it from other terrain, and the Creepet in it can flow back onto other terrain no matter its elevation. But when it comes to visibility of snipers and cannons (maybe mortars too, they seem to have a higher range, if standing on higher terrain), it plays like 0 elevation.
