Uploading the file now, be about 10 mins.

Gameplay wise, you can use either a controller or mouse+keyboard. I have a generic controller and for some reason the game does not recognize it, so had to go with mouse+keyboard

You move with wasd, Q does something, E and the mouse wheel can scroll through your ranged weapons after you pick some up. You can only hold 2 at a time. R shows you how many artifacts? special glowing items? that you find in this dungeon throughout the demo. The game does not actually tell you what anything is, how it works, ect. Left click swings your sword, which you also have to aim with the mouse, which can be a pain in the ass at times. Right click shoots your ranged weapon.

>>266341309
Thanks anon.
You're pretty good.

>>266341309
Oh and Spacebar is your dash. You can also use it to select a ranged weapon at the weapon nodes or pick up ranged weapons when you find them.

>>266342193
Also not sure why its 250 megs. The animations are really nice but the music seems almost nonexistent.

If I'm a 10 dollar backer, do I get a preview build? Where would I download it from?

Though I think the lack of music is to help create the atmosphere. Its more like a lot of ambient sounds than actual music most of the time.

Oh nice!

>>266343845
Yeah but if they are done well, its not an issue. Part of the reason big AAA companies can't even afford to make 1-2 bad games is mostly because the graphics have gotten so crazy, production costs are through the roof. I feel like more companies should be rolling back to sprite graphics and make some good 2D games. Amazing graphics are nice but it can be costly if it does not sell millions.

I have confidence this game will be fun when its released. Hope there's a lot of content to go with it.

So it seems to be working(?) for me but I have this bizarre issue where it only seems to pick up on mouse input and the escape key. Everything else is unresponsive, even at the title screen. halp?

>>266341876
ty op

>>266344803
>>266345000
K figured it out. In case there's anyone out there with a similar setup it seems that my DS3 controller was the culprit; it seems the game disables keyboard input when it detects a controller but for some reason it can't pick up a virtual/emulated/whatever 360 controller properly. In my case I'm using the SCP server method, so I actually had to go into services and shut it down for the game to finally give me back keyboard control.

Not that anon, but I see kickstarter as a problem because it gets the people to play the role of the publisher but the developers reap both the reward of being developers on a payrole and the reward of raking in all of the profits from the game.

If the people fund a game's development they shouldn't have to pay for it.

Some other info about the controls.

You can charge your sword attack. You can dash into a sword attack. You can dash indefinitely if you keep the timing correct.

Doing a certain amount of successful hits with a weapon (sword, pistol, shotgun, ect) will give you a power up for the next 3 attacks you use with that weapon. This power up stays with that particular weapon until you use it 3 times or until you die. So if you get your sword powered up and want to save it for bigger enemies, just use your ranged weapons. If one of your ranged weapons get powered up and you want to save it, switch to your other ranged weapon.

>>266347109
>In the rebuild Eva 01 can literally launch the AT field as weapon

That is cool, but Anno and his pub beard.

>>266347030
Oh well, I uploaded it so you can play anyway.

And if you guys do play give your opinions. I think its pretty good so far. I wish there was more music though. And they need to fix some of the walls.

>>266347261
I think the problem is that devs make kickstarters where they have no proof, no guarantees, nothing to show that they have something that the consumer will want

I can't think of a good KS that was started with simply THIS IS A COOL IDEA, FUND ME

if people would not fund those, the problem wouldn't be as bad

>>266346480
idk I have been having problems with it lately so it might just be me, although the little blurb at the beginning mentions ds4 specifically which I believe is known to have better PC compatibility than ds3?

>>266347420
>I think the problem is that devs make kickstarters where they have no proof, no guarantees, nothing to show that they have something that the consumer will want
See, this doesn't always happen and people who put their money into this sort of thing are just bad investors.
I say they deserve whatever they get for throwing money away.

>>266347382
Downloading as we speak. Thanks.

Did I need Steam for the final build?

>>266347420
The real problem was (it's gotten better) people seeing kickstarter as a risk-free way to get what they saw, like pre-ordering a game, and not for what it is; an investment that can be risky and not pay out in the end.

Then people got angry that they weren't just "buying a game before it gets made" but rather investing in someone's pitch for a game.

>>266347510
ds4 only has better support in that it has really basic native support. you'll still want to use the scpserver for it to work well. but I did also have a bunch of issues when I used to use a ds3, nit it was a different wrapper so WHO KNOWS

Aiming is a fucking pain

First blush impression: as I expected from the screenshots, navigation can be somewhat disorienting because there's not enough contrast/shape definition between the PC and the environment, or really even within the environment itself(delineations between rooms, etc.) Also I'm peeved that there doesn't appear to be a windowed mode because I have this weird thing where I don't like pixel games in fullscreen

>>266347721

How does the game play with a controller? My PS2 controller doesn't seem to work, so I've been playing with KB+M. It's a bit finicky at first, especially due to the fact that you dash in the direction of the mouse, rather than in the direction you're going which leads to a lot of dashing off cliffs or into enemies

Once you get used to it it's pretty good, though. The gameplay is really simplistic but feels quite satisfying. Looking forward to the full release.

>>266347994

also striking/dashing into wall shows a wip animation 1/10

>>266347317
>>In the rebuild Eva 01 can literally launch the AT field as weapon

which Unit 2 did in End of Eva. and it's also a kickass attack in SRW Alpha 3 because it can hit the entire enemy squad, it's post movement, and the EVAs have 100% EN Regen thanks to the S2 Engine

>>266348115

it says it's recommended to play with a controller, but it feels like a mouse is way better since you can pull off dashing and aiming much more easily

It's not a reference, it's more like he took a screen shot and pixeled over it, changing a few things afterwards.

I get the feeling that anything large in this game is going to be a screenshot or drawing that has been pixelized with a few changes, people who do this don't do it just once.

u wot

all you have to do is time your next dash right at the end of your last one

Just finished the demo I think
so unlocking the door just loops you around to the temple entrance again?
There's no boss or anything that ends the demo?
That is disappointing

But thoughts

The art style is fine and some of the stuff (decaying robot statue of liberty in background, giant robot heart) are pretty cool, but the game suffers from 'is this the ground or not' syndrome' The floor, the backdrops, it is not segregated very well in many areas

Falling resets you to the beginning of that area with the area reset as well, if you say, fall down a hole while going for the secret shiny at the end of the room and then have to go through it all again because of it? not fun.

The aiming on controller (it recc'd it so I used it over m+kb) is ass
However the spread/shottygun is quite nice and I liked it

The balance between sword and shotty seemed kind of off, there was almost never a point where sword was the better option (except in the arena room where the issue of running out of charge was a possibility)

The gameplay is real slow
The music is kind of nonexistent
the game was far too easy, and this is even if you ignored all the health containers everywhere

Walls are not very well stated, there were many parts that looked like they might lead to hidden areas but nope, wall

Things were not clearly defined, what the hell does the red/black obelisk do? It shows my two subweapons but what can I do with them there?

The alpha demo is okayish

Not something to be excited about unless they put in some real hard work into improving this

>Things were not clearly defined, what the hell does the red/black obelisk do? It shows my two subweapons but what can I do with them there?

Theres 4 subweapons total.

I feel like the sword needs rebalancing. There's little point in getting close and endangering yourself (outside of being stylish) when you can just blast everything with your guns.

>>266352321
Must've missed them since I didn't take the alternate paths when they split and just started ignoring what looked like optional areas because 90% they were just walls that weren't well defined

Oh well, they any fun?
>>266352051
That looks like the combat we got, it's just that honestly the video makes it look a lot more fun and interesting than it actually is.
Also he is totally not playing wtih a controller cause he can actually shoot with that gun

>>266352396
I felt the same way. Swords need a buff.

>>266352396
yeah I felt that too until I got to the gauntlet fight, its good for quick dashing in and out and most melee enemies will dodge your bullets too

>>266352584
I barley used my sword even in the gauntlet.

>>266352539
Yeah some of the alt paths are fun. I like to explore anyway.

>>266352584
sword wasn't that useful their either just due to the pits

the guns would easily take care of enemies much faster and safer than it

>>266347109
It bothers me how instead of regenerating the arm like in the original, it creates an arm with an AT field

>>266348912
autism

I just finished it. It's pretty decent. movement feels a bit awkward, but that's probably due to how the character looks

My main issue still stands though, fears from the first time I saw the gameplay demonstration. The combat is really slow. It has a good baseline, but everything feels like it could be faster. and other than that, as >>266352396 said, there isn't much point in using the sword other than for style.

I've never even heard of the game.

yo when does this shit release?

I really dislike how the dashing works. Most of the time I find myself dashing in wrong direction because I'm used to controlling the direction with movement keys.

>>266353191
Try dashing + sword killing more. Like try to spam that shit.

I think one reason the combat feels so slow is because you have to play it safe. Like this game isn't difficult but you can die very quickly if not careful. So you play it safe, sit back and shoot stuff. I did a few sections where I was just dashing around slashing everything.

It feels pretty good but the dashing can be chaotic. Needless to say I died quite a few time dashing off the edge. Once I get better at aiming it will be pretty awesome.

It's a PC game. Local co-op is cool for console games but who the fuck plays computer games in local multiplayer?

It's not a LAN-party friendly 16+ players friendly game and nobody is going to carry his fucking PC over to his friends house everytime they want to play a tiny game in co-op.

Are these developers adding co-op instead of online multiplayer just incapable of port forwarding their game?

I literally can not do anything once the game starts if I'm not using a controller.
And I'm not going to use a controller because it plays like garbage. I almost died to that first group of 3 creeps, it's so bad.
What kind of stupid shit forces controller use if it's detected? Not even Gang Beasts or Skyrogue did this in their earliest alphas. To think I thought that this would be a pretty hype game when I saw the previews for it along time ago.

Yeah the original release date was June 2014 but that's when it was a $27,000 project. They raised like $640,000 so they added a bunch more shit, which obv pushed back the release date, and now it's expected to release this winter I believe

So this is the beta but is it the whole game with bugs or a "demo"?

>>266373046
>comparing a click adventure game where nothing moves to a top town action game

troll harder kiddo

It's level's nice and the music's good but they need to prioritize dashing in the direction of the arrow keys you're holding down instead of cursor location while moving and also point mouse click actions according to mouse gestures when not stationary.

As it is, I can't let the mouse stay idle while moving around screen or else the attacks go the wrong way.

I KNOW YOU'RE LURKING HEART MACHINE PEOPLE! FIX THAT!

>>266373345
>yeah I'm sure that's what the devs said and not you just making shit up
Nobody said shit. It's simply the message they are conveying by releasing shit that would have been considered outdated and lazy in early to mid 90s.

You can do retro 2d sprites without having to shit out something that looks like out of a game from the mid 80's.

>>266373997
confirmed for not playing it

>>266373997

wow anon why are you so anal pained

we can talk about it if you want

>>266373964
I really hate how they made the areas look because there really is no way to tell if something is actually a secret or just a little outcropping that has a wall
There is no way to tell whether you'll hit a wall or scroll onto a new part of the area, meaning it sometimes seems to be 'hump the wall and check' which is not fun

Like I'd dash across a couple pits onto what looks like it'd lead to a hidden area BUT NO, WALL

>>266374492
It takes like 30 minutes once you start looking for the secret areas in the first quarter of the dungeon. Just look for the above and you'll find it quick.

The color palette really could some more noticeable differences to stick out though. I walked into the pits thinking they were floors several times during my first run through the dungeon.

read the thread

>>266375132
You just walk up to it and collect. That's it.

>>266375223
Well in my experience, there was always some sort of visual cue nearby to mark the secret area so I don't think they designed them to be found by randomly dashing into walls.

>>266375852
no

>>266375983
ok
bye then

>>266375132
What I'm saying is that while a secret always has a visual cue, that visual cue doesn't always mean a secret
so you could go thinking it's a secret but hit a wall instead
and the game does it a lot

I doubt it. With so much slowdown and all those features advertised I don't think they'll be ready till 2016 at least unless there's only a handful of dungeons to the game.

I'm pretty sure there was also supposed to be some sort of currency to pick up but I don't even want to imagine how much more slowly it'll run with that.

Did these guys build the game on java or something cause it seemed to me the garbage collection didn't kick in fast enough to keep things running smoothly.

So a list of issues with the game and my overall opinion of this demo
>Dashing is prioritized to direction of where your mouse is pointing instead of the direction you're moving
>The movement animation is the same no matter how fast you're going. Assuming you're using a controller this means that if you're lightly moving the joystick your movement animation would be the same as if you were fully jerking the controller in one direction.
>Aiming the rifle with the controller is a bit wonky, shotgun requires no aim so its alright, railgun takes time to charge which gives you time to aim so that's a-okay as well
>Sword is practically useless, I feel that sub weapons are more useful than your primary, limiting munition on your secondaries could force you to use your blade more and use your ammo sparingly only when you really need it
>Dashing has no cooldown, although the game is supposed to be fast paced I find it that after a couple of dashes it should have a cooldown
>Where the fuck is the shield that was in the trailers, I wanted to be deflecting projectiles left and right, god damnit Heart Machine.
Overall I'm enjoying the ambiance of the game, the gameplay and the sprite art. I really think it has massive potential to be a great game. I feel that the initial things they said they wanted to accomplish (Making the drifter vulnerable and fragile since he's ill, having a very immersive world and detailed world, and having a Diablo-esque hit and run gameplay) have been handled pretty well. What do the rest of you guys think?

>>266382706
