Hi all, I am working now at ACE Team, a new indie studio, and thought of sharing what we are doing with you guys. Feel free to comment on the art, the teaser video, etc. The website is www.zenoclash.com (we are also starting a forum to comment on the game and share more screenshots and game art), I hope you like the style. The game is a FPS, but we are trying to innovate in the mechanics of the game by including a really strong melee combat system. I'll leave you with a screenshot in the meanwhile  David |

Holy crap, I love the art style. It has kind of a fantasy-punk feel, which reminds me of the Oddworld series. Will you get to fight those huge...things in the first screenshot?
From a technical standpoint the graphics look pretty promising too. I like the subtle blur and depth-of-field effects.
Unfortunately my computer probably won't be able to run it...I can barely run Half-Life 2 as it is. I should really get a better video card one of these days, I'm missing out on all kinds of awesome stuff.

i mean it's the wrong forum! it's interesting to see a visually strong and independent game that uses a kind of motion / distance blur. this reminds me of "Spore"; sometimes it has a similar look. and the toenails... nice! unfortunaly i havn't watched the video, yet... waiting for more gamplay informations amazing how many technicals details are detectable in this shot. |

We are using the Half Life Ep2 engine, so it doesn't asks that much, we have many old computers in here and the game looks good in them too. You will not be able to fight those "mucalosaurus", sadly, but there will be many interesting enemies (and in different sizes too!) David |

Very cool work  We are using the Half Life Ep2 engine, so it doesn't asks that much, we have many old computers in here and the game looks good in them too.
So, you guys actually have a budget? Neat How many people are you? |

Reminds me of Oddworld- definite plus. The art style is just gorgeous- I may have to finally get a video card for my PC to play this.

I absolutely love the gun and the style of those massive creatures. The shadowy figure on top of that thing doesn't seem to fit in too well though.
looking foward to getting a computer that can run this :D

WOW! really impressing, maybe a little weak on the technical side (the environment graphics looks a bit dated, what engine are you using?)it's but really awesome for the art. The game looks so unique! looking foward to play it |

They said the "Half Life Ep2 engine" ... my graphics sense is weak, so I'm curious -- what parts stand out as dated? |

I'm intrigued, the video and screenshots on your homepage look interesting, too. The graphics style is quite unique. What kind of gameplay can we expect? Straight forward, standard fighting-based FPS only? Or will there be other elements ... I don't know ... like RPG/adventure/strategy-elements, puzzles, etc?
Also, does anybody else think, that wearing your testicles on your nose might pose a major evolutionary disadvantage? :D

Well obviously I don't know how good your comp is but I wouldn't write it off because the Source engine can run on surprisingly weak computers, such as, er, mine. I don't know the technical details but apparently the code is very well-optimized. Also, this game looks like EPIC WIN! |

Doesn't look dated at all. Look at the rag-pole! It looks more real than any real life rag-pole I've ever seen.

Keep at it, this looks great! I'm especially intrigued by the melee system, it sounds very cool! |
