Support NeoGAF

[Zia]

They've been very quiet. I'm guessing we're looking at S/S 2015.

Disasterpiece, maybe the most beautiful minimalist pixel art I've ever seen and the guy that made the Quake III of local MP games in Samurai Gunn. Yeah, this is my most anticipated game.

 

[JudgmentJay]

One of the few games I backed on Kickstarter. Looking forward to it. I'll probably pick it up on Vita in addition to PC.

 

[Neper]

I backed it on Kickstarter and it can't come soon enough! Really love their art style, the gorgeous animations and the gameplay desing.

I guess we can expect it early/mid 2015, realistically.

Found a cool arrangement of that trailer theme. Works very well with the imagery.

I listen to this quite frequently. Love it.

I must have listened to this a couple dozen times though. It get's me so pumped. Reminds me so much of the quality he put into FEZ.

Was in for ps4 version months ago. Looks really great.

 

[Vol5]

Hyped. I read it was a little like Zelda but I can't find any mention of puzzles, only combat, which is fine, but I think the odd puzzle here and there could be great.

Just wanted to say your OP is amazingly well done, Slix. Thank you for putting such impressive effort into it!

Thanks Max! I must say, as stupid as this sounds, I was in love with this game the first time I saw the trailer. So much so that I highly debated taking a semester off to go work in California with Preston and his team as their head of finance and marketing. Never did end up panning out, but I did put together a slick powerpoint of, in my opinion, even better quality than this OP. Actually, I ended up putting it online as a youtube video. Probably get a lot of flack from the "business experts" on GAF, but hey, I don't really care.

Edit: All of the backgrounds had been custom made or edited for the presentation. Put probably 15 hours into making that little presentation and I did it in a matter of three days. Lol... I really wanted to be a part of the game.

This is the only kickstarter I've ever supported. Can't wait for the game to release.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

I'm a backer, and i'll be there since day one of course.
I'm seriously really really hyped about this, it's looking incredibly cool and unique, with an amazing atmosphere and an astonishing art direction.

I like it so much i made a couple of fan art pics in the past months, i truly can't wait for it to come out!

I keep thinking those are EVAs >_>

 

[VanWinkle]

Game looks fantastic. I actually often forget about it even though I think it looks awesome. Thanks for the thread!

1. You're welcome My pleasure.
2. As someone who has gone hands on with it for no more than 10 minutes... from what I can tell, it IS awesome. Plays wonderfully, looks beautiful, and sounds downright amazing (<3 Disasterpeace). As long as all of those hold up throughout the games entirety, we'll have ourselves one hell of a game.

 

[Stackboy]

Wish I got in on the Kickstarter, but I'll be grabbing it on PS4/Vita.

 

[SmoothBrain]

Getting two keys as a kickstarter backer from my pledge. if there is no crossbuy I'm probably going to do a vita + ps4 combo. Maybe they will enable crosssave, eh?

 

[Timeaisis]

Isn't this a GameMaker game? Did they hire extra devs for the WiiU version or what?

Anyway, can't wait for this. Day 1.

 

[Slixshot]

Hello friends! Sorry I have not updated this post in quite some time. In fact, it's been so long that the private beta has come and is nearly gone! I did not have a chance to play it very much because I have a new job, but I have heard great things. Hoping this game turns out to be what I expect it to be and more

Here's a brand new "behind the music" video that they have posted. Enjoy!

Edit: This is a fascinating video.

 

[OccamsBlender]

Preordered via Humble Store since I didn't have a credit card during the KS. Plus Humble had a better price.

Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiight double dip on Vita. We'll see how the PC ver plays.

There's new gameplay vid of HLD over at Giant Bomb right now (Vinnyyyyyyy!!!). 42 minutes from the Early Preview Build; plus Vinny and Alex. Sogood.gif

[epmode]

Needs more 60 FPS.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Re-upping on my hype for this game.

 

[Zero²]

Needs more 60 FPS.

Its true that it will be 30fps?

 

[epmode]

I don't know if the final version will be 30 but I can assure you that the combat demo provided to backers was running at or below 30 FPS. Character movement and screen scrolling felt particularly sluggish.

Such a shame, too. The game is so great otherwise.

 

[a.wd]

I want this game, bad.

Sweet baby Jesus! Hell yeah!

I played it at pax east and it was running smooth as butter. Dunno if it was 60 or 30 but the game felt much better than the preview build.
