A game I'd like to see get developed would be one where empathization is the goal. A game where people live up to their names. A game where happiness is the goal. A game where the goal is to find a job. | But ultimately, the goal is to design the game around a game developer's own life.
I gave the university girls a book, the loan man money, the geriatric guy complaining complaining about food multiple times ...a loaf of bread, and a pair of boots to the construction guy, and somehow only ended up helping 1/4 people in the end. And I don't see any other appropriate match-indicators for matching up the characters in any other sensible/logical way.

When tried on a separate Windows OS computer, the game successfully launches however.

When running on Windows, I get the error: UE4Game-Win64-Shipping.exe - System Error | The code execution cannot proceed because XAPOFX1_5.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
I followed both file paths for 'saves,' but can't seem to find the Shelter folder. I did a '/' drive-wide search for 'Shelter' folder (and 'anything' files that show up for August 27th), but nothing shows up for either parameter. I'm trying to test the hypothesis of me robbing the bank ending up on the bad side of Peg, or to see if it is a day-by-day error rather (i.e., one day turning into few = tripping up the Emergency Shelter program).
So, you got to have one person named Grant Vollrath, and the player's goal is to prod, poke, and annoy the people surrounding him in all the different points in his life, in order to get him to, "release his wrath." And the goal, is to build up the reputation of Grant Vollrath, so that he becomes a global phenomenon. Each time the user fails to provoke, the game shows a 'lost' or 'loser' dialogue. But each time they win, and each time they seek to maximize the suffering and perceived suffering of Grant Vollrath, the main user wins, ...and they gain, 'points.' Step one would be the restaurants, step two would be the news press, and step three would be to maximize Grant Vollrath's overall suffering. In order to get the perceived effect of maximizing the main user's "wrath" ability.
But it might be more effective if said user was already deemed a public figure by society already, however.
A game that would really make the developer money, would be one with randomly generated names, where the goal of the main user is to be first-person and live up to that name.
I haven't been able to figure out the maintenance controls yet, and the arrow key set-and-release timing (for both this and the Nuclear one) is mis-calibrated for my laptops causing sticking.
I walked around everywhere, searching every corner and piece of land and water, and can't find him after achieving 'very strong' status at home base. Keeps staying stuck on day two, and I end up dying of no food.
Art based upon reality, and art based on art, this is a beautiful game.
Ever since being laid off from work repeatedly and failing to hold a steady job, and the start of this second Cold War race/Adolf Hitler mellow drama #2 here, I've been getting into nuclear war media for the past year. Notably, cold war songs, Fallout Shelter by Bethesda Softworks LLC, and Fallout the Amazon Video series.
On my Windows OS laptop, I was able to make it to day two (unlike with the Linux laptop) (due to a common shared bug at Peg's firmware flashing station). I kept walking and swimming around everywhere but wasn't able to find anything.
And by the way, I also can't figure out where the outlands are. And, if you could create a save point in your real life at any point in life, where would it be and why?
This seems like an unfinished game, and I can't seem to find any gamers reviewing it on Twitch.tv and YouTube.com. Very fascinating though. I guess, if there had to be any improvements, it would be 'ctrl' key being able to skip past dialogues. I'm still left curious as to what would happen after the bombs drop (other than me simply running out of rations). How long does it take to run out of rations? Is RFID like a radio way to reach out for more rations, is it just a product identifier, or am I simply supposed to rations out the rations so that I end up lasting longer? And if I do the same in real life, does it cause diabetes?
Also, I got a system crash error that prevents me from giving the microcontroller to Peg. It occurs when I am running the program and terminal to program the microcontroller chip (my second one so far) in the game. I'm using 'sudo wine' as my software handler (in Ubuntu).
And, how do I utilize the ground plates? I can't seem to place down the groundplates. And, how are the groundplates different from the T# plates? Can they be placed ontop of each other? Why can't I place down the groundplates?
And where does the game store progress so that I can copy the data from one PC to the next?
I'm trying to use Wine for Linux to play the game, and am running into the following problems (after of course A. Running in Sudo/root/admin mode, and B. installing "winbind samba" for the purposes of receiving NTLM support):
I feel like this game represents in general how society functions for the people on the bottom end of society, social class wise. Compliment this game with details from My Maid Dreams of Electric Sheep by dodonga (involving: A. simulated police rulings and policing/governmental policying of and in the USA), and you got a revolutionary new game on your hands that isn't considered legal by all the governments of the entire world. (Because let's be real. The world is about money and power, and maximizing everyone's suffering - ethics was ALWAYS the illusion - no matter how you picture it).
And the newscasters would be going crazy scrambling to get an animation out to all the viewers of what real-world condemnation would look and feel like in real time. Using just one simple animation artist.
