Hype through the roof!

A rideable robot hand? That does a pewpew motion to shoot? Damn! This game is already looking like a GOTY 2018 contender for me.
Yeah, somewhat too rough, but i'm still intrigued.

Someone capture that sword-sheathing animation as a gif, quick!
looking pretty rough there..
Feared? Is that bad? It's an indie game, it will probably go at reduced price, it's not going to be a $60 game. Probably.

This looks really fun, and I'm loving the character design. It kind of reminds me of what Michael Bay would do to Conker in a way lol.

Just from a settings direction, this looks super refreshing. Like a breath of fresh air. Looks rough, yes but it's been so long (for me at least) since a game caught me this off guard with just the setting alone. I'll have to see more combat and gameplay to judge that portion of the game, but so far I'm in.

It has a really neat art style. Can't remember what it's called, similar to Borderlands games. Also seems to have some kind of grain effect.
EDIT. So, the game has at least one mech too. Lots of going on. Really, really hope that this will be good. And I hope that they release it on GOG. It it's only for Steam, won't buy it.

I think it looks great and 14 people are making this? Damn impressive.
And let's be honest, how many games improve a lot between the first reveal and official release? 1%?

Please have a light tone and humor with a story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
pretzty much loved what i saw
Gameplay overall is looking interesting and game looks nice in motion. Certainly needs polish here and there, but very promising from small team.
Edit: What makes people so worried? That 4 second boat clip where rotor wasn't animated yet? Other than that I didn't notice any glaring issues

Hrm, that gameplay looked a little bit on the rough side, unfortunately. They've got some time to improve and for such a modest number of workers it's impressive still, but I could use a little more convincing.

The jank could end up being part of the charm?
For a studio of just 14 people it looks pretty impressive, but I would be concerned by ambition of the game based on the scope and the actual size of the team involved.
I'll remain cautiously optimistic.
What GAF see
✓ Not AAA
✓ Raccoon
✓ LOL 14 DEVS
✓ Poor boat/water sequence
What I see
✓ Red Panda
✓ Unique world and character by small dev team
✓ Seems to require some finishing touches
Yeah it's an impressive game for the team size. It all comes down to how they market this and what's the price I guess.
I have to say, this. I barely see any "jank" or roughness -
and I tend to be nitpicky about such things, although they don't bother me.
:\ meh

I don't like the animations. Otherwise, looks great!
Because it doesn't look good to me.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I dunno, looks good to me.
Could be fun

For a game that is in development with a team of just over a dozen people that gameplay looks pretty good to me. People complain about jank but its like calling something cringey or boring. Its a non descriptive descriptor to just say,"I don't like this." but I'm getting off topic.
A bunch of vehicles and slow meh looking combat. No wonder there were so many cuts during it.
