The Forever Winter - Gunhead lore

[@fundogstudios]

Another amazing FW lore breakdown from Critical Rocket himself, don't we love to see it?

[@NotZealot]

hey fun dog :)

[@CryptidBuddy]

You should add a key to turn off the gun head autonomous lock on if it’s not a thing already

[@amxThortween]

FW lore I do fw

[@Vaultboyfromfallout]

Holy shi It's John Scavenger himself

[@captainnutt2995]

Still waiting for you to fix Movement and Smooth Animation for AI and Player character.

REMOVE MY SAFETY

[@sdgamer1860]

I take it we will eventually Europan Gunheads as enemies in future updates

[@SecondhandChucklehead]

Downtown Lost Angels would be the best spot. That, or add them to Underground Cemetary...

[@ArcologyCrab-gq9ub]

Hopefully we’ll also see gunheads being used by the water thieves, whether they be the water boys or not.

It rhymes if you say it in a French accent

[@CaptainFordoAlpha-77]

Peak character design

I am Robot Weapons guy and THIS is my head

[@wellheytherehihowyadoin]

Nice lore. I give us about 20 years before corporations start making profit on robotics subduing discontent of the usual undesirables.

[@BassoeG]

You’re two decades too late, google Ghost Robotics and the SPUR someday.

[@jimbob6519]

How funny would it be to have the ability to equip bayonets and your melee attack would just be a headbutt?

[@neemyn407]

It...can...and will be done

[@luismadrigal-hidalgo]

Calm down Zidane, lmao.

[@PixxxelWizard]

So it sounds like there's a possibility we could also encounter enemy gunheads in the future on the Europan side or even as enemy rogue AI, probably in the upcoming Shanty or Downtown Lost Angels maps...🤔 Great lore drop, thanks!

[@justbrowsing4925]

Hey Crit love your videos, but while you are going over lore could you possibly tone the music volume down a bit? Your voice is naturally quiet and the loud music tends to overlap your voice too much. Anyway Love the video! And have a Merry Christmas!

[@sullycide]

HUGE bump

[@CriticalRocket]

Yeah sorry about that. I will remember to reduce the music more in the future.

[@CryptidBuddy]

He’s here, it’s John That Guy

[@x0rZ15t]

Reminds me of kick ass anime called No Guns Life

[@johnwiebe8581]

I have to admit, I was expecting a breakdown of the GunHead from the B-flick movie. That would have been a great video~ maybe add that to your list of videos to do!

[@Saint_John_The_Forerunner]

The leg movement lol, that’s why his head says “Everything to me”. He ain’t going to them 😂

[@namaan_taw8259]

Looking forward to having a go at this update.

[@personalaccount6443]

wait... can we stick flesh on it and turn it into a t-doll?

[@aaronjameshorne]

I cant wait for new content for this game. I play this game regularly.

[@CriticalRocket]

I was informed during my last discussion with the devs that they have some interesting content planned for Q1 this year.

[@Ragsta]

Nice vid CR

[@CriticalRocket]

Thanks :)

[@BearjOhanian-pi2uu]

Oh look a new gun with legs

[@NIL0S]

guess you do shoot where you look

[@AdamSaez]

A-a-a-ll is du-u-u-ust

[@Ragsta]

Johnny Gunhead

[@puppy.1074]

i feel like the music is a lil too loud?

[@Stinger-km5xx]

Fuck yes

[@joezhangmd]

I like the video but the music is a bit too loud relative to the narrator. Please dial down the audio balance. Thanks!

[@CriticalRocket]

Yeah sorry about that, I thought I had reduced the volume enough but clearly not. I will have to boost my voice in the future.

[@Dun_Grizzly]

CR, is the basic water system still constructed in a way it will wipe all progres if you don't play the game regularly? Do you know if the safe storage works during the wipe. I haven't been playing the game for some time and gone out of the loop...

[@ThatSpecificIndividual]

Iirc as soon as you log in your base gets attacked by enemies and if you win you keep your stuff.

[@Dun_Grizzly]

@ThatSpecificIndividual Ok, I'm interested. AND I can have a gun instead of a head on top of it.

[@ARStudios2000]

Thankfully they reworked it to something less punishing. If you run out of water and you log back into the game, you will be warned that a attack is upon you and you have to beat the water bandit attack. If you win, you get your water back

[@arcturus960]

Watch to the end of the video and CR explains all about the changes to water, however here I go: A few days ago they added additional conveniences to the issues with the system. We now have turrets that are fairly cheap, and you can get more and more when you have more water to make the defence against the water thieves easier. Also you can get the "water boys" of which are gunheads with the purpose of getting water for you, at the base they will get you 1 day of water every two days, practically doubling the amount of time you have until water death. There are additional upgrades to the water boys for them to gather even more water, allowing you to effectively go offline for long periods of time without working for water. However the water boys do bring the threat of rare water thief raids. We also have a loot-proof safe where you can store as many credits as you want and 10 items that are protected from water death and water thief raids. I know most people aren't happy with the water system, but it isn't hard to get water if you know how (paths and easy quests). While understandable to not feel content losing "progress" I think most need to look at a game again and see what it really is. Sure for an MMO where you grind for years to get things, that is a massive issue if you lose that, however for a game like TFW just have fun with it and don't worry.

[@MrLemonfr]

nice vid, but i think you should tone down the music a lil' bit, it distracts from what you're saying

[@spacemarine40]

Juzo Inui : that's my boy))

[@basedsketch4133]

Hell yea

[@Internetuser1234]

Music is louder than the dialogue

[@Craftic]

How fun is this game? I want to play.

[@masteryoji9738]

Has some glaring animation and pathing issues but despite that I’ve sunk 50 or so hours in the last couple weeks. Even in its current state you will get your moneys worth content wise if you base it dollar per hour of play wise. There is a demo of an older build of the game. Gives pretty close experience to the full game. For sure give it a try. I’m glad I did. A lot of fun solo or even more so with a few buddies. Demo is a good test if your rig can run it smoothly. So far I’ve found that setting everything to low and the render scaling to 35-45 is a good start to see what frames you can squeeze out. So far I have a 4060, 16gb ram, and a i9. Stored on a ssd. I keep all settings at low and dlss performance mode on. I keep a consistent 60 fps even during the grittier fights with lots of units. Game looks amazing graphically even on low.
