Thanks! :)
We have many times considered a level editor, but it's a lot of work both in creating, maintaining and supporting something like that, so we can not commit to something like that right now and can't sadly make any promises that we will do anything like that.
We all would love to have something like that though.. but that might not be enough. Thanks for showing interest though ^^

It is not a practice game. It’s a full-fledged game, but with another focus than The Wake, and with a whole new style. We have been working on the game for some time now, and hope to show it really soon, and I think that when we do, it will be clear that it is not just a practice game.

It will sadly not be for free. We are all working full time at Coilworks, without any form of compensation. We have been doing so since the beginning, but our personal funds start to run low and we need to actually get a game on the market. Rather than compromising the vision for The Wake we decided to do this detour project and make something smaller but with quality that we believe will be worth paying for.

We all want Coilworks to be something that we can make a living on, and we will continue to work hard towards this goal. But for now, that does not include releasing games for free. Though if we had the funds to continue development AND give away full games, I would think it would be wonderful! : )

When we say that this game is smaller than The Wake it does not really make it small, because The Wake is a really ambitious project.

Great! :) Then they fulfill their purpose. The challenge will in most cases not be to see the mines, but to skillfully get past them.

Thanks for the comment and for showing interest in the game!

We have actually planned to talk more about gameplay in the upcoming news post for this Friday, but I will gladly shed some light on the subject you mentioned.

Concerning the free running part though, or rather the platforming elements of the game in relation to action, I would say that our game have these “systems” integrated into each other. You rarely do action separate from platforming, and if you do it is more of your own choice. I would like to compare our games platforming more to the likes of Megaman X and N/N+ (but in 3D!), then to the likes of Mirror’s Edge or Prince of Persia.

Hope to clarify things a bit more if you check back on Friday : )

I’m sure the artist will be very happy for the compliment! ^^
We’ve been waiting to share this for a long time, glad you liked it!
Stay tuned for more new stuff coming pretty soon. ;)

Thanks!
We are hard at work trying to bring it all to life, and I hope we will be able to show you more of it soon! ^^

Thanks a lot! If you figure it out please tell us! ;)

Thank you! ^^
We really appreciate it!

Age and country should not be visible on individual users, but tracking information about user viewing your content is what I am after. And I don't need to know what country they are from, just what country their IP belongs to, or similar.

Its much easier if you just view the stats on a normal youtube video.
Youtu.be
As an example, check the statistics on this video. We can clearly see what age group and where in the world we have the most viewers for the moment. (also how the video where found and where the viewers came from)

I have no need of ever knowing that kind of information about another developer as an individual.
The worst part of yourubes system is that it does not declare how many of the views that it did not get gender or age information from.

Oh, and also one more thing!

I love to be able to track the stats of my own and others pages! But would be even more nice to get even more data! ^^
I am totally amazed by how wonderfully the stat tracking of youtube videos is. It might get hard, but if you get some time left over, looking around little and find ways to add/analyze even more data would be really helpful to identify how the information is spread and who it reaches :)
Like adding a map to see roughly where from people come from, and maybe adding gender/age information about the users visiting, if that information is available(Facebook, indieDB profile?).

Nothing of that is absolutely necessary, but it can be useful!

I would really like a upgrade on how the buttons expand. When buttons move because you are expanding another one by hovering it is really annoying and sometimes hard to click right. Simple change to make the buttons text expand below it would be MUCH appreciated! ^^

Also, the placement of posts on the front page depends on the date they where created, cant it instead depend on the day they where accepted? If i have bad luck right now I will end up on page 2 or 3 right from the start. Or another time when we where creating a post privately, and let it go though a feedback loop in our team before making it public, it ended up on page 5... This might be hard to fix, but if you have any ideas about how to fix it, pleas reply to this post! ^^

I don't know if it is already possible, but if it is, i have no clue to how it works. But it would be nice to see more then top 10 of the games, features, and similar. Would be nice to have a top 100 or something : )

Everything else works fantastic in my opinion. And HD video will be really nice!

that is an interesting perspective ^^

Thanks!
We appreciate all the feedback we can get! :)
