Shortly beforehand, I'm using the development snapshot: 2012-10-05 19:03 (a3e88790084d).
Hallo,
I'd like to give some feedback about things I noticed today testing things out a bit:
1.Tutorial 04 - Melee Weapons: Check out the stone gates, some of them are positioned badly and don't open.

2.Mount Brame: Intro is completely broken. I tested it ten times and Ruth just didn't manage to throw me down the hillside. Also the clonk does not move properly to his destination at the hilleside, it kind of gets stuck. (Just a sidenote, it would be nice if the script checked how many players are participating so Ruth talks to you in the right person.)

3.Shiver Peak: There are six chests on the ground at the beginning and one is in the ceiling. I just wanted to ask if that is intended because it looks a little bit strange.

Now some general notes:
1.Really important: Firestones should always be collected automatically. I died so often just because my clonk didn't collect a firestone while digging. I also don't understand why you often collect coal, gold and other stuff automatically and sometimes not.

2.Using the pickaxe is currently quiet a pain, because there always remain tiny bits of material which you can't remove with the pickaxe. These chunks sometimes make it impossible to actually get through your pickaxed tunnel and are very annoying.

3.Zooming works really well, whether I zoom completely out or completely in, I have constant 40 FPS. With one exception, the axe. I don't know if it is just my sytem, but I really don't think so. Anyway, if I play in default zoom and chop down a tree, everything is fine. But when I zoom in and chop down a tree, there is a massive performance loss (only 17 FPS). I have no idea what could cause this, because all the other tools work fine at any zoom level. Maybe somebody could test this out to see if I'm the only one experiencing this.

4.The teleglove is awesome.

5.If I ALT-TAB out of the game and reenter, I can still see the windows bar above OpenClonk. I guess this happens because I have a rather uncommon setup. I'm using a 23.6" TV as a monitor, resolution is 1768x992, and I have my windows bar attached to the left side of the screen. Also, when I first downloaded and started the development snapshot, exactly the same happened to me as described by Zapper here. (I also had the same solution.)

6.Here I'm a little uncertain because I don't really know what was going on. This is what happened: I created the first player and named him Andriel. I played a bit. I created a second player for testing purposes, named him Clonk, changed the colour, the style and the controls (to gamepad). I played some Back to the Rocks scenarios with both players enabled. Then I got an Assertion failed error (Unfortunately I didn't write it down, just clicked ignore and went back to the game). Suddenly, the player "Clonk" was deleted, but when I tried to create a new player with the same name, it said "Name is already used".

7."Choose style" in the create new player dialogue doesn't seem to work properly, e.g. I picked the Clonk with shield and sword but actually got the steampunk women ingame.

And finally a few feature wishes:
1.What would be ultracool (but in fact completely unimportant) is a big 3D preview of the Clonk style in the new player dialogue instead of the tiny pictures which are currently there.

2.In my opinion a very important feature is to be able to go backwards with your shield pointing forward. This game is a perfect example of how I imagine shield use to be in OpenClonk (It's also a wonderful game).

3.Some audio feedback if you hit an opponent (or a friend) with your sword would be nice.

Some other things I just noticed:
1. I just spent some hours trying to hunt what I thought was a very strange jumping bug, until I realized it was kind of a jump strike down sword special attack happening when you press the mouse button near your clonk. This, together with the "pick up stuff with directional key" thing really should be explained properly in the tutorials.

2. Tutorial 1: When he explains the inventory system, the arrows still point where the old inventory was. (at the bottom)

3. The grappling hook is currently no fun at all to use. First, the hook should be pulled back in quiet a bit faster so you can shoot at the ceiling, swing, pull the rope back in and quickly shoot again. Also, swinging around feels unsatisfactory because the swinging range is to low. This game is a perfect example of how I imagine grappling hook use to be in OpenClonk (It's also a wonderful game).

Some notes on carry heavy objects:
1. The boompack attaches at a wrong position. (Which looks actually quiet funny)

2. Carrying heavy objects should have a greater impact on agility. Furthermore, you shouldn't be able to throw it as fast and as far as a little rock for example. (Of course it would be especially nice to have a different, more fitting animation for throwing heavy objects) Generally, the clonk should be more cumbersome in dealing with heavy objects.

3. In some animations (like swimming, tumbling ...) heavy objects are not attached. For swimming, it would be nice to have the clonk holding e.g. a barrel with his hands and just paddling with his feet.

4. It took me a while to figure out how to use a gunpowder barrel on a cannon to "fuel" it. This should be either easier or just well explained. (In the second tutorial - multiple clonks)

5. The cannon should show how much gunpowder is left somewhere.

6. The cannon debug messages need to be removed.

Now some more general things:
1. Currently it happens a bit to often that if you run up a hill and jump, the clonk does some funky backflips(also known as the tumble action)

2. Is it (or will it be) possible to control multiple clonks at once like in CR?

3. This might seem trivial but it should be very easy to change: In my opinion the wood chipping particles live to short. If you're chopping a tree they appear and almost immediately fade out.

4. I don't understand what the energy bars at energy producers and consumers want to tell me...

5. What does look bad at the moment are burning objects like trees and clonks because a)the flame often doesn't fit their shape and b)there are ~no burned versions of them. This needs to change in the future but I'm sure it will.

6. Smoke goes through materials. I don't know if that is intended, but what I always liked in CR was the smoke from, for example, an underground foundry which wafted through the abandoned mine, immersing everything in a mysterious shimmer...*atmosphere* (I would really like to see this effect even stronger in OC than in CR)
That's it for now. (I hope this is more readable now, I will also edit the first post)

More feedback!
I just played a round of gold rush and noticed some things:
1. It began to rain, but the raindrops neither came from "above the sky"(like in CR), nor fell out of clouds. It looked like they should fall out of clouds, just that there were no clouds where there should have been some. (The rain came out of nowhere)

2. It is nice that some trees are in the foreground and some are in the background, but if you chop down a foreground tree, the clonk just hacks the air behind the tree. A good solution would be to "mirror" the animation so that the clonk hacks from behind.

3. If you stand in front of eleven or more interactable objects (like sproutberry bushes) the interaction bar at the bottom counts: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 [NO SYMBOL] [NO SYMBOL] .... Maybe there shouldn't be displayed more than ten objects at the same time.

4. I just wanted to mention that if you follow your "lots of, but small veins" policy, it is hard to find a place for an elevator where you can dig more than 1m down. If that's intended, just ignore this point.

5. If you drive up and down with the elevator, the lever in the cabin does not move. (And it looks very 2D)

6. I don't like the elevator sound. (especially start and stop) There should be more "shshshshshshsh" and less "bumm kracks engine die".

7. The elevator should be better animated. The winch should actually rotate, and if the elevator moves, the rope shouldn't just be a distorted piece of half-transparency.

8. An idea: A base melee mode where the enemy has to chop down your flag pole! (and vice versa)

9. If you zoom around, the moon and the stars move too, which is cool. But they move very strangely. Try zooming out and in and watch the moon and the stars. They perform kind of a bow, and if you zoom in to close, they suddenly disappear.

10. I think being able to climb under water is very annoying, because:
       -It causes bugs
       -You can climb under water but neither hangle nor dig?
       -It makes navigation in narrow canals very difficult because the clonk always starts to climb and therefore often gets stuck.

11. If you place a building (sketch), the sketch doesn't change the environment, but if you put all the material into it and it starts building itself, it suddenly terraforms itself a flat "basement" ground and you could get stuck. (See this bug)

12. The chemlab looks very unfinished, the pipes in the background look 2D, so does the valve and I don't what the white thing to the left should be. Also, the glass bowl looks like metal. Ain't there transparent textures in the engine? (If this sounds unfriendly, I'm sorry)

13. I produced dynamite in "Gold Rush" and threw it, I heard the "shshsh" but there was no explosion sound. (I also threw flints, they had a sound) However, when I tried it in another scenario, there was an explosion sound.
