Too bad for them I know its flaws

(too bad for me you still have to guess the first one )
[QUOTE=Darkne55;39946446]yeah i've notices most houses are just unimaginative pitbull spam, probably will stop playing until they are removed or nerfed[/QUOTE]
I like the idea of them because it means you can't spam back and forth at the door waiting for my wife to try and escape with half my money and then just hit her with a crowbar and leave, but you should be limited on the amount you can have of them.
Jesus fucking christ
I think I've died more to proving my house now than other peoples traps
One wrong step and I have to start from the bottom

I don't get why they added that in... is it meant to be realistic?

I'm hoping they just overlooked it and it'll be added in later.

Any stuff I should def take with my on my thieving ventures?
[editline]17th March 2013[/editline]
Do you lose the game if your whole family is killed?
Do all animals follow you trough walls?
[editline]17th March 2013[/editline]
And do they always try to walk into a straight line towards you?
[editline]17th March 2013[/editline]
And how do you rotate parts :v:

2 saws, 3 water bottles, 2 crowbars and poisoned meat
You can probably ditch some of the water though, electric floors are less frequent now
[QUOTE=Tobba;39947136]electric floors are less frequent now[/QUOTE]
Still good for killing power sources though

Don't you have to make a way for your family to get out?
And I thought my maze idea was good :v:
I'm seeing a lot of houses that don't seem to have any familys in them like at all.
How much did that cost?

[QUOTE=legolover122;39947262]I'm seeing a lot of houses that don't seem to have any familys in them like at all.[/QUOTE]
because they all got killed before you maybe.
[QUOTE=legolover122;39947253]Don't you have to make a way for your family to get out?[/QUOTE]
Yes, the way out for them is to go through crowbar frenzy people.
They are pests tbh.
Broken mechanic in my eyes... why can't they open doors by themselves? Why can't they stay in house, hidden somewhere and run only when stranger is in proximity/line of sight ?
I find it annoying and pointless to defend them, especially that this bitch carries half of your money.
So, when maze mechanics are going to work, I'm going to force someone to rob it and kill my family.
EDIT:
Cost of this maze is currently around 4k. it's maybe 70% finished (laying out "death triggers" when entering wrong tiles...).
Going to calculate costs soon, it's very simple as I've got an Layout in Excel, as it was FUCKING complicated for me to come up with good mechanic for this maze.
Just spend all your money on your trap and wait for someone to crowbar smack her
Bam no more wife problems, the kids dont matter so ditch them at the door
She's impossible to protect anyways

Indeed.
That's what I always do.
I just put them straight in the doorways.
I thought my trap was neat until someone just ran trough ruining the electric fences :v:
The whole 'you die for realsies when testing' makes it really hard to actually test anything
I have to remake my electrical maze...
Few researched stuff proved my design wrong, due to limited space.
Guess this will take much longer than I though ;s... god damnit.
I hate you !
Do pitbulls chase you even if they can't see you?

Yes
Ughh, I've so many good ideas for a trap system, but I'm starving for more money. I always run out of money before I finish my house, so I have to make something new.

I always get enough dosh to make it, then die when testing it
I am literally £0.01 short in my bank account for this game. This has never happened to me before. This is most possibly the most frustrating thing ever.
:suicide:
Seriously this game looks fucking awesome.
Oh god I discovered the most shit thing ever
Dogs and family members can overlap
This in some cases makes the dogs invisible (if it doesnt, they're really hard to see)
so the easiest way to make a bullshit house seems to be deliberately letting your family get killed then if you place blocks over their bodies and remove it the body is gone. ta da, no more family to bother you.
i'd buy this but after the quick death of Sleep is Death I don't think any of Rohrer's games have a long shelf life

Also if anyone sees a room with dogs sat in the door way this is not due to the owner glitching this is due to a room saving after some successfully steals from it this include killing the wife then running for the exit and the dogs follow to the exit.

Thats the other really broken thing about this game
You can design houses that can only be robbed once
[editline]17th March 2013[/editline]
The permadeath is imo the biggest problem though, its just "okay the guy gets all your shit"
"you also have to rebuild your house for the billionth time"
[editline]17th March 2013[/editline]
oh and you have to get your wife clubbed again
I actually build two mazes one for my wife to delay her the other for the vault, as long as you have dogs at the start the player can't wait for the wife and thus will never get all the money
