Even if this was their only project, why do you find yourself doubting the developer's excitement on the game, even after they personally came into the thread and write about how and why they're passionate about it? I dunno, I just find it to be such an overly cynical perspective on the matter.
No campaign (other than probably some training levels). There will be optional AIs, however.
It is designed from the ground up as a multiplayer game and we rather put all our eggs in that basket.
What, exactly, was ambitious in The Order outside of its graphics? It seemed like a light retread of gameplay tropes well-established during the past decade.
Oh lord.
Amazing post. Good luck to you all!Hey!
We will support cross play everywhere they lets us. Up to 4 player split screen, 8 players total per match, with heterogeneous teams and the ability to mix couch and online players as desired. 60FPS on all platforms (except using splitscreen on some platforms). Dedicated servers all around. We are building some very unique features to encourage competitive play a lot more will be announced later.
As for the game itself, it is really hard to communicate what the experience is like in a video (much less a screenshot). It plays and feels like its own thing. Now this is not by itself a guarantee of quality, of course, but honestly we spend insane amounts of time playing it and its so much fun we cant stop even when we are just debugging it.
We have been iterating on the core gameplay for well over a year, trying to refine the pillars of the combat: fast and frantic, easy to pickup but very layered, centered on skill, social and competitive. Everyone we have shown the game to so far has had a really fun time with it so we are hopeful we are on the right track.
On a personal note: this game has been a wonderful, emotional experience for me. The original concept for it is something I have been dreaming of making for over 25 years, thats a part of it for sure. But by FAR the biggest factor has been the spirit and determination of the team that has built itself around it they have turned it into the most rewarding project Ive ever worked on, personally and professionally. Its like a crazy club of shit talking gamers spending insane amounts of time together, arguing and polishing and experimenting and playing, playing, playing... We have a so much fun coming up with the crazy and goofy stuff, looking for the most gameplay possible and just spending time together on a small project we really believe in.
Now, I really hope the game will resonate with players looking for something different , but however it comes out at the end dont feel sorry for us since we are having a fucking blast working hard on it.

I just heard of the game yesterday and thought it needed some more attention.
