Thanks very much!
Because our world has much more content and detail than minecraft, and is not yet created procedurally, out world is large, but not unlimited because our level designers have to set most of it up by hand.
However, we're aiming to expand it as we go and trying to avoid loading times as much as possible!
Cheers Thaiaixn (I have no idea how to pronounce that)
Just to make it clear to everyone, the detail we're showing is still built upon core gameplay, and we're still very busy with the nuts and bolts of the game.
We'll be showing that off when we think it's ready!
Thanks for your support!
Yep, even in its early stages I'm loving it. Really makes the aftermath of a battle... pleasing. We need some finishing touches like drifting smoke and ashes and then we'll be happy to show you guys some in action :D
We intend to keep it that way!
Thanks!
Mainly guys, and one girl, truth be told :p
I'm looking forward to playing this on the Oculus DK2! Great job so far and I'm looking forward to further updates!
Thanks Plejadenwolf! It was cool to watch it come together from concept to animated in world! I can't wait until we've got the AI hooked up.
Just imagine fighting off several of them at once! YES.
I know! We didn't have time on Friday, but I'll poke Marcin with a stick to try and get some gifs out of him :)
That's really good to hear Ghost!
Please tell your friends! Never too early to form a squad :p
Thanks! We're quite proud that we've managed to match Mirror's Edge with our small team :) I think it was all Tristan actually... Our programmers are Godly.
Hi again Ghost! We meant that we'd like to see if the community would like to make suggestions, and show off their designs on the forums.
It's not an official competition or part of the game. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding.
All the animations are being tweaked from our original ones since there's a whole bunch going on to improve the linking of object motion and arm/hand movement, so if a throw is quick, the 1st person animation will be quick. If an object or enemy is pinned against a wall, your hand will behave like it's holding that thing to the wall. It makes for a really powerful sensation!
The torment shall be exquisite...
And yeah! We'd like to get the demo out NOW but there's still a few tweaks and new bits to shove in. We hope you'll bear with us!
Surprisingly, it isn't that demanding! We're not going for a Crysis 1 "You haven't got a £300 graphics card? Aww that's a shame" attitude with this.
Of course the real game will have a massive amount of Apex stuff going on, but we're working hard to optimise it without spoiling the joy of environmental violence :)
'Space' rocks.
In space.
Sorry, we had a banana shortage and the monkeys went on strike. They're back on the typewriters now :)
Watch this space! We don't want to show all our cards at this early stage, but you can be sure we'll be filling in the blanks over the coming months! When the forums are live we'll put the word out and get some proper discussion going.
We don't want to give it all away yet, but it'd be a criminal offence to show such pretty gear and not have it in the game, wouldn't it?
Cheers Bio! It's massively encouraging for us to hear stuff like that :)
We'll do our best to live up to your expectations!
Ha! We need to model a more beefy arm for that :p
There'll be more very soon! Your excitement excites me!
*excitement feedback loop*
*asplodes*
Thanks Yu!
Keep up the great arts!
Damn. Forgot to sign in before I posted that.
"Yep! We're aiming to be much better at keeping you guys informed now. The pace of development is accelerating and several different things will be coming available soon *cough website cough* Excuse me...
As for the story- Yeah we'll be releasing more snippets, and we'll try to be consistent ;) No doubt when we've got the forums online, some of you may help flesh out the Eden Star Universe!"
We'll probably be changing the colour-scheme, so the visor won't be yellow :) I thought the same thing.
