Incredible work. Curious if there's a roadmap going to be released that indicates what's missing from the EA release and when it might be seen in the future, but holy poo poo amazing job handling the move to 3D

Yeah we know all the returning heroes Man at Arms, Grave Robber, Highwayman, Occultist, Leper, Hellion, Plague Doctor and Jester Then we also get the new Runaway. I'm personally more sad we lost the abomination. RIP  But they're pretty massively expanding the talent trees so it looks like they want to make all the characters much more distinct instead of having a lot of characters with overlapping roles.

They look that good all the time. Seriously, they look so good. All the time. Anytime. People are gonna eat this game up like a cupcake. Anyway hi I've been off SA for months but I too worked on this game! Don't ask me anything because I will not know the answers because I'm a contractor on the other side of the world. I'm just here to enjoy everybody's hype.  For those curious - I am one of the Goon Authors from over in CC who has transitioned into mostly games writing and editing these days. I edited the script and did some writing and I WILL cry when people inevitably say my barks suck. But such is the price we pay for glory.

Yeah I have way too many hours in DD, this has me hyped. I'll be on the tail end though, I don't want early access, I want it baked and in my hand on my Switch. But it looks loving gorgeous y'all should be proud. If it plays to the spirit of the first I think it'll be a huge success.

How does this game compare in gameplay terms to the first one. From what I have seen they have completely removed the RPG mechanics of the game and is now more like of a card game / deck builder?

Xibanya posted:o poo poo, goon spotted  I guess I can talk about this part a lil! For those curious: The narrative is all still the same guy who did the first one - nothing's changed there. I just helped further sharpen the nails of his already terrifying vocabulary, if anyone was concerned about Some Random leaping on to gently caress with all that. And I will say getting to hear Wayne June narrate stuff I helped write has been one of the singular pleasures of my career. ...and that I wrote the bit in the trailer about Man-at-Arms wanting a massage, lol Anomalous Blowout fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Oct 25, 2021 |

My contribution to the game is very hard to explain to non developers. Literally every frame looks how it does due to something I did, but it doesn’t look like that solely because of what I did, it’s the great models, textures, animation, etc coming together. (Well I can point to specific effects I created but shading is way more than just VFX.) I guess the best way I could put it is that being the graphics programmer on a game is like being a colorist for a comic book. Just like lovely coloring can make great line art look crass, lovely shading can make incredible models look cheap, and just as great coloring can turn a page into a gallery piece, great shading is what makes 3D graphics truly astounding. in other words, imagine 4 meshes on the edge of a cliff, 3d graphics works the same way

I was disappointed I didn't get to beta test the sequel. I was in the beta test group for the first game (got to play the endgame content before release) and Crimson Court, but never heard back from John Lindvay when I emailed him expressing interest in beta testing the sequel

I was Ride Or Die for the first game, played it from beginning to end in early access, still one of my absolute favorites----cannot wait for this new one. Amazing how the animation was translated to 3D SO well---looks like a storybook popup and those stills when you attack are a perfect homage to the prior game.

Count me among the skeptics that're now converted, the 3D art is not merely a concession to greater utlity, which is honestly what I'd been thinking, like the change from Street Fighter's sprites to 3d. No, it works, it looks great, it's in every way a worthy continuation of a game I loved in large part for its aesthetic.

The shrines are unbelievably cool. Fight in a customized battle from the character's past and unlock a new ability as a reward, what a brilliant way to do that.

I tried to watch one of the streams but the guy playing it sucked so bad I couldn't keep watching. He kept wasting everyone's turns doing 1 point stress heals and making his highwayman do grapeshot blasts rather than duelist advance/point-blank.

I'm like the seventieth person to say it but man all those animations look incredible. I watched one of the streams for a few minutes and I'm really intrigued by the relationship stuff deepening the sanity mechanics. The guy I was watching was defending with his MoA a lot and he and the PD became friends and not only got some passive buffs (the MoA got some Blight resistance, that was the one thing the streamer pointed out) but they also kept doing encouraging barks toward each other that gave sanity and HP heals.

It looks like there's a way to get tag team attacks if one hero likes another one enough. Pretty cool. Did they re scale damage values? I noticed Plague Doctor battlefield medicine was healing for 12 hp, yet it didn't move their health bar much.
