great update as always! again! man i am getting sick of typing that all the time after watching a new devlog update... ;p
Force field is a lot better than a wall. When I hit an invisible wall I feel like "WTF, did controls break or something?" at first. Then understand it's actually limit of the level. Quite annoying. Force field is at least gentle enough to push you back slowly :D That's kinda cool.
as normal im highly impressed... still cant wait for the other speices
Always a pleasure to watch these vids! Seems like a lot of good features were implemented again. I know some of them from Cryengine and think especially the slope orientation can help with creating organic landscapes. Maybe you can add a random rotation for groups of objects (e.g. trees, rocks...) too, so you can just paint on large areas of ground and get a random looking result. Random is good in this case ^^
Love your game, been waiting for a long time, but still much impressed!
Really nice updates. I can't believe that week after week you still make such impressive changes.
Wooooww!! :D
No words, I am impressed, this week has something awesome. COngrats fur guys, wow with those rolls now I can say "Do a Barrel Roll". o3o
So... are the physics optimized yet?
...*holds brick over head, lets go*
*it drops*
They seem to work fine from what I see. ;)
You guys are some of the most talented and dedicated devs ever, with a small team you manage to get a huge amount done every week and it always impresses, I really need to save up a bit and pre-order soon.
This game is quite fun and honestly I feel its got alot of great features , however I still dream of a day when multiplayer comes to this great game..
