the demo of this is pretty good 

Yay, weather.

Can be used for things like in my last post too, no?

Smokescreen & firebits?

Looks like it's coming together very well.

Your link seems a bit borked, here.





The game looks pretty sweet. Still hard to believe it's all one person doing it all.

Curious, is your PC slow, the game unoptimized for now, the capture software too much?

There are some hitches here and there, when new things pop in the field of view for example.

I love how this looks (not just graphics, how it seems to play too). I wouldn't judge if there can be unwinnable scenarios before actually playing but it seems like a skill based game where weapon parts you may or may not get just help you depending on your playing style rather than altogether enable you to win. I can't wait to play it, we need more top down games like this and Hotline Miami and more!

I like it

Ha, I thought it would be about this getting ported, and was like "omg so it's Cavernaut and I got it so wrong for so long" lol. This looks cool, too

Yeah, that's more like it! But it doesn't seem to apply on the unit colors. Still, I can already imagine some moody battle after/during a dramatic flashback event scene with that kind of color and the sound of fire and war in the background, maybe with floating particles of ash and sparks and foggy smoke to complete the effect.

Man, I love your games, such simple, great fun. You should make a successor to your Star Wars games. Maybe something BSG themed! Sad the mod wasn't coppleted. Or not based on any IP, with more levels and features, like Factor 5's GameCube Star Wars games (so, not too sim-like, but still a bit more involving), and sell it.

Oh yeah, this thing looks great too

That looks greyscale to me, not sepia.

I see you've made the ground pieces not quite as straight cut anymore, nice

Or maybe they always were like that and I didn't notice because I didn't expand the video.

I wasn't assuming anything, I was asking questions. You had room for more info in the first post but only focused on that one aspect, so I asked for more. Most of the Kickstarter page focuses on the weapons systems and what not as well, not much about game modes, objectives, map design, player counts, etc. You don't even write what most of the money will to. Though you write more of that for the stretch goals only. Just saying.

I like the colors used, I only think the star background could be made to look less tiled (even if it still uses 32x32 tiles). Right now you can easily tell where each square ends, try to arrange the stars in the tile differently so that doesn't happen. Put some stars near the edges in a couple sides that won't touch each other when it's tiled, etc. What does the face on the HUD indicate? Lives? I'd like to see that space used for dialogue options, trading, accepting quests, threatening ships for their cargo to avoid bloodshed, text adventure style stuff.

So it's multiplayer Receiver? What else will make it unique, after everyone gets the hang of the firearm handling they will need an actual game worth playing underneath that novelty (which I think Receiver does very well, as simple as it still is). Is it going to be fast paced deathmatch, or something more tactical like Rainbow Six and SWAT, do you plan to have single player and co-op modes, what else?

Did you really think this is the best place to sprout such adver-bs on instead of some decent developer to potential audience (and fellow developer) discussion? Not even gonna give you a click, personally. </jerkmode>

Sounds great, editor looks very Portal 2-esque, which is good too.

Hope you have better luck in this forum

Looks like something I'd be totally into.

Saw the interview on the Codex and mention on RPS Katchup, hope those helped.

Well, visually it looks great, in stills at least. Does it play like Space Harrier, Star Fox and similar games? I'm a big fan of Panzer Dragoon Zwei and more recently Sin & Punishment 2, but it takes quite a lot to make a great game in this genre, despite the appearance of simplicity, so I can't say if you've succeeded or not yet.

Having a model editor and browser is cool but of limited appeal, a new character/ship alone won't make people replay the game beyond the point they'd replay it even without that feature as it adds nothing to the gameplay or even the overall visuals. Creating levels and enemies to populate them with would be way more awesome.

Only just saw the footage with the animated sprites. They look amazing. But maybe you should also have idle sprites. The soldiers could be okay still, but the winged/smokey monsters probably should flap/smoke even when not moving. Is the ground style finalized? The sprites and other objects like trees look a lot better than the ground. Maybe It's just how square it all is and if you made new tiles for the corners to round them out so they look more natural (at least for the ground, not the bridges) it would be okay.

The game is almost out but you can't share a single gameplay screen, footage or even something more than "retro shooter with voxels" with an excuse like it will be "too long for one thread", really? There are threads detailing some pretty big and deep games, man. I didn't think TIG forum is meant for such marketing stunts.

Maybe because then you're forced to be more creative than use the same exact stealth tactic over and over.
