it seems so smoothed and user friendly, so simple even I could do it
its nice to see that your refining the processes, and giving modders( regardless of their skill level) a huge help
I totally agree with it. I'm not a full-blood modder and I only know some simple XML-changing for Empire at War which is very easy to do. But this really seems like a well-to-understand language structure, no learning of massive scripts and hieroglyphic language structures which no one understands. Great work!
And damn...! Did you improve the graphics or the details as such? It looks much more polished and overall better looking, it's just amazing!
Well, I really can't wait for a good story campaign. Keep it up!
Really good system. But how do you key the camera? I didn't see it move, so I guess that will be another thing to deal with? The whole way you use gestures and tweak important aspects of the character impression is fantastic, though!
Nice that you still think of the modders. Phoenix Engine rocks!
awesome simple introductions and great coding again! :)
I must say, with the lack of transitions and camera movement between shots, it looks like a comic strip! Really neat system and design.
Amazing stuff. Watching your videos allways makes it look like creating a game is super easy. You just shake this awesome stuff out of your sleeve...
What a neat tool! I can't wait to see how you expand upon the functionality of it.
Just... AWESOME!
Wow,this is interesting, and looks really easy for make editions.
Great work, seriously, great work. I was wondering depending of th acttions the situation change, example (follow the video), if you kill the leader, the others will join you, but if you kill first those guys,the leader will show you something, whatever.
I am... wow, I do not have words, I´m happy for this, is very good, now the fights will going to make sense, thanks for the support and keep it. :D
