The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's **** and Suck".

It was. Unfortunately (for reasons I can't discuss) the guy making it had to put it on indefinite hold.

Ultimate Doom Builder for level design/scripting.
SLADE for non-level scripting/ pretty much everything else.
Many tutorials are available online.

There is an old and crusty version based on the pre-enriched edition.
Address if you want it:

Some people have done that already as you can see in the file and addon sections.

We don't care what you do so long as credit is given and you don't try to monetize it.

The only difficulty that has an ammo modifier is Survival, which cuts it in half. Apocalypse just has the standard amount of ammo.

You can find them in the Afterglow .pk3 using SLADE, under sprites/effects/RJSHA1, RJSHA2 etc.

If you don't want to use SLADE you can also just open the .pk3 with most archive programs since it's basically a .zip file.

Find the location of our compound, make it past the front gate and minefield without being shot, and then throw a brick wrapped with $20 at the front door (the windows are bulletproof so don't bother). We still won't take it but the gesture counts I guess.

Alternatively you can buy the soundtrack from Primevals bandcamp, he's a good lad and deserves some spending money.

Yeah if the bike survives into Ep3, more careful level design is part of the plan.

Thanks.

We're pretty happy with the level of exposure we have frankly.

There are some things that would make putting this on Steam pretty awkward, so that's off the table (for now, anyway).

Out of over 100,000 people, you are the only person I've seen vocalize "issues" to this incredible extent.

Furthermore, other people who do bounce off the game seem to have the mental horsepower to realize it isn't for them, while you insist we completely change the game based on your misunderstanding of it.

You simply do not "get" the game, and it's hard to conceptualize a person who "gets" it less than you do. You are not the target audience and you never will be.

Leave us in peace.

If you get mad that not every story and world detail is explicitly spelled out for you, Ashes is not for you.

If you get mad about resource scarcity, that's a skill issue. There is plenty of health and ammo if you look for it and don't play like an idiot. Ashes is not for you.

If you get mad that using explosive weapons stupidly is dangerous to you (shocking!), then get good. Ashes is not for you.

No secret requires you to cheat or expects you to use an "obtuse" method of movement. Furthermore, if you don't understand what "secret" means, Ashes is not for you.

Based on this comment and the wonderful review you left us, Ashes is simply not for you and I feel 100% safe disregarding all of your feedback.

There was another way into the yard via the pipeworks/tunnels, though with the roamers now hostile you wouldn't have been able to get the "optimal" ending.

You noclipped into an area you weren't supposed to be yet. The uptown scripting interprets this as you shooting your way in. I don't know what you expected to happen. Did you talk to the sheriff?

Did you download the standalone? If so the file description clearly states it's Windows only.
To play Ashes on Mac you'll have to put it together yourself. Find and download the Mac version of GZDoom, get a copy of the Doom2/Freedoom2 iwad, and download the .pk3 version of Ashes.
Beyond that we aren't equipped to offer support for issues on Mac, sorry.

No, HR will not have a hub system. Ep3 will.

We aren't going to dumb down anything, don't worry. But we are going to ensure things you need to progress the main quest aren't deeply nested in dialog trees and that quest progression is clearly communicated to the player. The best example of both issues is the Roamer Junkyard where there are easily missable dialogs you need to progress and badly communicated environmental progression things (ie, the bombs).
