Yep. That'll do nicely!
How many are working on it? Seems like an awful lot covered in such a small amount of time!

Ah yeah, I hadn't noticed! Like @phi6 said, I arrived here via Screenshot Saturday, read the first page and posted. I'm sure they're just nous sprint or something ;-) |

Hey! Yea we are most definitely still working on this  Sorry we've been a bit quiet, but we needed to just hide away in our caves and get to it. Yep. That'll do nicely!

We're 2 guys working on it full-time (one coder, one artist), plus another artist doing characters for us and a composer/sound guy for the rest. Bach |

can I ask how do you handle things in your engine? Sorry, it's a tad generic of a question, I'll be more specific. is the engine 3d or 2d? It looks very much 2d, but then those dynamics lights would make you think otherwise... the props on the map casting very 3d-ish looking shadows and all. I'm leaning towards thinking it's an hybrid approach, or maybe a very clever trick. It would be very nice of you to shed some light (pun totally intended) on your approach. If that's at all possible ofc! Thanks and sorry for the messed up and poorly worded question (only slept a few hours tonight  ) |

That's pretty cool, just checked out your latest blog post; I must say that even with the unforeseen work it's still an epic achievement for such a short amount of time! can I ask how do you handle things in your engine?

There's a a few posts back of the level editor that should shed some light |

Yeah, it's definitely tile-based, and yet those dynamic lights  It looks similar to the 2d box projection method, although if that really is how the dynamic lighting is implemented, then I'm genuinely impressed. I'd like to know a tad more about the specifics, that's what I was trying to ask specifically. |

Looks like there's a shadow texture per item and the position and rotation of the shadow shape are effected by the nearest light source position, can't imagine you'd want to go much more complex than that unless shadow effects the gameplay... It does sure look pretty though..

Hey guys, Sorry I didn't see these questions Well, truth be told - we abandoned the dynamic shadows for now. There are a few situations where we simply couldn't make them look good. But knifeySpoonie pretty much nailed it. Except that we allowed multiple light sources to cast shadows and the distance makes the shadow more/less intense. Also shadows are slightly differently drawn than normal sprites (we use a shader to emulate the "mulitply" blend mode you might get in PS for example - which is different to the standard "multiplication" blending in OpenGl). Feel free to ask away if you have any other questions, no secrets here Oh here's animated gif scene from one of the home bases:  Cheers! Bach |

Halfway was released! Grab it on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/253150/They are feverishly working to squash post-launch bugs so I thought I'd do them a solid and mention the release here. I'm about 4 hours in and I'm really enjoying it so far. |
