Pharaoh, it will be a bar, soon, really soon.

Working on the game as fast as i can, but until the next release there is now an infosite up. So that everyone that wants to get information, gets it.
There is some screens(you have seen them before) and a mini manual.

The game will change name.
The name "ZoneTripper" was/is a stupid/silly a name.
As soon as i found another name, it will be the game formaly known as Zonetripper.

Have a nice day!

Nice that you liked the name.

But there is alot of people that dont like it... And they have more or less convinced me that it is bad...

Um... no he's not making fun of you Gobias. He's just making an idiot out of himself.

Nope, it was drawn by Tamara de Lempicka.

Got to say Zonetripper sure looks promising.
Keep it up, Gobias, I'm sure this'll prove to be interesting.
I bet there is no European Fallout fan who hadn't played with the thought of moving the Fallout universe to the old continent...

this 'de' in her name is funny actually.. a German intrusion in a Polish name.. weird
"Tamara de Lempicka
(1898-1980)
She was born Tamara Gorska in Warsaw in 1898. She came from a wealthy family and married a well-off attorney, Tadeusz Lempicki, in Petrograd in 1916.
In 1918 Tamara and Tadeusz emigrated to Paris and Tamara gave birth to her only child, Kizette. It is here she received her first painting lessons- from AndrÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â© Lhote and Maurice Denis. Shortly thereafter her first paintings were sold from the Gallerie Colette Weill.

In 1925 she made a name for herself exhibiting at the first Art Deco exhibition in Paris. After having affairs with more than one wealthy "patron of the arts" she divorced Tadeusz, and married Baron Raoul Kuffner in 1933.

Raoul and Tamara moved to America in 1939 and exhibitions dedicated exclusively to her work appeared at The Paul Reinhart Gallery, Julian Levy's, Courvoisier Galleries, and the Milwaukee Institute of Art. Her artistic output, however, was decreasing.

In 1960 she changed her style to abstract art and began creating works with a spatula. When Raoul died of a heart attack in 1962 she all but gave up on painting.

In 1980, while living in Mexico, Tamara died in her sleep. Her daughter Kizette scattered her ashes over the crater of Mt. PopocatÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â©ptl.

fuck, this unintentional double-posting is irritating; a 'delete post' button please?

I think that the prices of barter items should vary more...
For one, the higher priced items all seem to be around the same price...
Plus each individual item should vary more from town to town in order to make bartering more profitable. It reminds me of Taipan, I sure like that game.

Gobias · Post by **Gobias** » Tue Feb 17, 2004 9:46 am

Yes, Strap,
you are completely right. The prices is going to vary more. So its profitable to barter. Right now its just profitable if you buy expansive stuff. I have alot of balancing to do in the game. Thats one of the resons i released the beta, to get feedback like that. Thx!

The system right now is something like this:
Every town has four different stats
- Agriculture level
- Industrial level
- Tech level
- Crime level

So whe i put in a new town i just name it, and set the four stats and the prices get automatic ranges(this way i can put in alot of cities/places easy). Vault Hansa has an high Tech level(cheap tech stuff), high Industrial(cheap mech stuff), low Agriculture level(expansive skinn/meat/water) and low Crime level(high prices on drugs/illigal stuff). Salem has high Agri and low on everything else. So a good tradeline is Salem <-> Hansa. There will be some changes in the encounters around different cities. So the thought is that Salem - Hansa is a newbie route(you dont earn so much but its safe). When the world expands(more maps) there will be more profitable routes but also more dangerous.

To the Art Critics in the forum:
Thx alot for the lifestory of de Lempicka.
