| == Malton Quarantine ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey again. I just have several questions regarding the Malton quarantine wall and the area nearby.
| |
|
| |
| 1. With the river Kevan on Malton's northern border, the quarantine wall encapsulates Malton on all four sides, right?
| |
|
| |
| 2. Is the quarantine wall immediately next to the outlying buildings, or is there open ground filled with defenses between them?
| |
|
| |
| 3. Much like last year's Escape template exemplified, is the ground underneath the quarantine wall dirt/rocks or does the wall extend into the ground for some length?
| |
|
| |
| 4. With the exception of Borehamwood and Monroeville, the outside world is normal (zombie-free) right?
| |
|
| |
| 5. What is the physical composition of the quarantine walls? Are there gun turrets every few feet, guards patrolling on top, lava pits with sharks, etc?
| |
|
| |
| Also, I apologize in advance if my actions of archiving all of the other discussions on the General Discussion, Wiki Questions, and Technical Help pages were unauthorized moves. Thanks. --[[User:TheBardofOld|TheBardofOld]] 21:08, 9 August 2011 (BST)
| |
|
| |
| Hell, are these questions even answerable? --[[User:TheBardofOld|TheBardofOld]] 18:30, 10 August 2011 (BST)
| |
| :When I ask myself any question about the quarantine border, I plainly think of the [[wikipedia:Berlin_Wall#Structure_and_adjacent_areas|Berlin Wall]]. It was likewise created on short notice to contain an urban area, so logically a lot of the solutions and conclusions will be very similar. I especially imagine that the Malton Wall evolved equally from improvised roadblocks to wire fences to concrete walls, just much faster. --'''<span style="font-family:monospace; background-color:#222222">[[User:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime"> Spiderzed</span>]][[User talk:Spiderzed|<span style="color:Lime">█ </span>]]</span>''' 18:46, 10 August 2011 (BST)
| |
| :Only if you're unimaginative. These questions, like many others, are purposely left unanswered by the game creator, [[User:Kevan|Kevan]]. The answers are limited only by your own imagination or those of the community. There have been a few attempts to create a backstory to Malton by the game community. See [[UDWiki:Lexicon]]. There are also many [[:Category:Journals|journals]] in which players have made their own backstory through [[Roleplaying]].
| |
|
| |
| :There is some "specific" information on the [[Border]] page. In Monroeville, a city similar to Malton, the border walls are described in-game as such:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>{{udspan|You have reached the impassable edge of the quarantine zone, with layers of razorwire, low fencing and concrete-slab walls blocking your way. }}</blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| :Again, whether you believe the walls of Malton are full of razor-wire and concrete-slab walls is completely up to your imagination. Personally I believe machine gun turrets is a bit of a stretch, but that's just me. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>18:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC)</sub>

| == Kevan and questions. ==
| |
|
| |
| Do we know if Kevan is still interested in Urban Dead? Halfway through October and no pumpkins yet, although, we didn't get pumpkins, candy, and masks until late October. We didn't get snow until like last December. The only new changes to the game were the implementation of a designated safehouse of your choosing (silly imo) for survivors and a new skill for zombies.
| |
|
| |
| It's been five years since the initial chaos of the outbreak and most buildings are in the same state as they were. I'd think that if our human survivors could rebuild buildings besieged by weeds, rot, and decay, that they'd be able to refurbish buildings damaged by fire, bullet sprays, finish jobs and remove scaffolding, rebuild collapses floors and roofs, etc. Hell, I'm majoring in a branch of engineering and having had some experience with my father on construction jobs and even still, I think that this Malton Home Improvement project could be accomplished through a combined effort of others. Because after all, if a building is ruined and you rebuild it, wouldn't you logically rebuild it so it's not in the same condition as it was before, moreso with fire damage or other structural damage? I do understand that this would hurt the roleplaying aspect of the game, but if we're in Malton until the end of time, it would introduce new beginnings. --[[User:TheBardofOld|TheBardofOld]] 16:15, 15 October 2011 (BST)
| |
| :i haven't played long enough to enjoy holiday/seasonal events. do you think if new players make donations for (each of) their characters, Kevan would implement events this year? i used to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_Wars Mafia Wars] on Facebook & spent quite a bit of money because Zynga implemented new events/cities/other stuff every month. but i won't donate money for a higher IP limit. and i agree w/ you about the construction repairs/rebuilding...i've played [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Sims_games The Sims series games] for years, and i enjoy building homes/tinkering. it'd be nice to do more than decorate Malton...Malton needs improvements. {{User:Son of Sin/sig}} 22:44, 15 October 2011 (BST)
| |
| ::It's not so much donations, but rather a case of if he is still interested in the game. In some cases, after a number of years of the game running, the developer's excitement for a game tends to fade and I worry that Kevan is merely chugging the game along to please community. Also, in regards to building/tinkering, I just thought that it'd attract a wider audience as we all know that the game has lost a drastic amount of players over the years. Then again, it could just be the rundown, gloomy atmosphere that sets this game apart from the others of its kind. --[[User:TheBardofOld|TheBardofOld]] 22:52, 15 October 2011 (BST)
| |
| :::if donations start coming (back) in for this game, maybe he'll give us something new.the active players (6964 in last day) are probably players with 2 or more active characters (13908).
| |
| ::::(random comment) i saw a review of this game here:[http://www.cracked.com/funny-2371-urban-dead/ Cracked.com]...and decided to play. it was a bad review but free publicity. maybe we can all promote this game to attract new players. whether a game is old or new...# of players (+ money) grab developers' attention. {{User:Son of Sin/sig}} 23:29, 15 October 2011 (BST)
| |
| :::::I don't think many people these days are interested in a game of this caliber. Most gamers these days are interested in games with visible gore, violence, and skin. Besides, with the amount of other games Kevan's made, I doubt he's going to be that interested in attracting new players for this game. --[[User:TheBardofOld|TheBardofOld]] 00:40, 16 October 2011 (BST)
| |
| :::::::Kevan still actively makes game updates. He changed defile based on feedback from the community pretty recently. I think there may have been other tweaks as well. I notice little things here and there that are mostly what we call "flavor" changes. Most of the changes these days are based on the really good stuff that comes through the suggestions system. Also, he hasn't missed a holiday update yet. I don't have any reason to believe he'll skip them this year. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>00:59, 18 October 2011 (UTC)</sub>

| ::::::::You play UD? Maybe a different UD then.. I haven't noticed any of the good suggestions get implemented in a long time.

I'd like to see some of the good game changing updates as well but I'm not holding my breath. Mis, I think he's given up on April Fool's. That one probably required that he give his full attention to the game the entire day. At least with Christmas and Halloween he can set it and forget it for a few days (or a few months in the case of Christmas). ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>16:06, 18 October 2011 (UTC)</sub>

| I imagine if a bot-maker got a handful of keywords, he could make a pretty effective bot that automatically trawls new pages and automatically stops spam. Just a thought for another day... {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 12:56, 14 October 2012 (BST)

| == More Questions ==
| |
|
| |
| From a creativity/roleplay standpoint, are the streets, avenues, boulevards, roads, etc in Malton and Monroeville individual streets with tract houses and shops, are they just names of housing communities with large counts of houses, or are they purposely ambiguous? I vaguely recall asking this before, but I simply can't find the questions and answers from before so I figured, **** it, might as well give it another go.
| |
|
| |
| Also, the General Discussion is still under construction, yes? I saw that it hadn't been updated in over six months and I was merely curious about it, seeing as how it's a little tricky to navigate to it currently.

| Thanks for the answers, by the way. --{{User:TheBardofOld/Sig}} 06:05, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

| :I would go with purposely ambiguous or up to interpretation. I've always thought of streets as streets with dinky/dingy little ransacked/ruined buildings. (I think I've always thought this, I mean.) And this page is complete (although [[CP]] is under permanent construction and the main page doesn't link here). Is "here" hard to find? --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 01:17, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

| ::Interesting. It's just something I find intriguing when sketching out possible ideas for my Northwest Unemplementia bit. Also, what do you think of my revised bit of the interface? It's a lot of the same, but it has a lot more roleplay features in mind in which players can interact with others as well as with the environment and map. Such as exploring abandoned tunnels, riding trains/ski lifts/boats/and even cars to various locations, set up shop, battle hunger and thirst instead of just AP and health, etc. A bit more...dynamic.

| ::As for the General Discussion, it's not too hard to find. I just remember it being listed in the navigational column on the far left of the site is all. Kind of tricky to get to when the only other way is searching "Urban Dead Wiki" and "General Discussion" or clicking the Community Portal on the Main Page. --{{User:TheBardofOld/Sig}} 04:54, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

| :I was wondering this myself. I feel it is subjective and each of us can imagine the details as we wish, from a role play perspective. I suspect this was done purposely to avoid scope creep during technical implementation, and I think Kevan did a great job at finding this balance. I have worked on many projects (and more recently on a few games as a hobby) and know that making a list of "what not to implement" is just as important, if not more, than "what to implement". And that is fine because leaving more to the imagination is never a bad thing for role playing games ;) --[[User:Wez|Wez]] 06:00, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

| I don't know what Malton's streets look like, I just know they watchin. ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>06:20, 28 January 2014 (UTC)</sub>
| |
| :I'm going with "intentionally ambiguous" as well. In my head, the streets are where houses & small businesses are, but it really varies by suburb - urban, dense suburbs (Ridleybank, Yagoton, Darvall Heights) have a lot of ugly apartment buildings, while others (Mornington e.g.) might have small parks, big lawns, etc. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 00:32, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
