torn between Xbox One and Vita versions.
leaning towards Xbox One because A) achievements, and B) I can stream this.
 
wait, i just read "co-op campaign" on the kickstarter. yeah, Vita is no longer an option. Xbox One day one with bells on.
 
Personally I think that a lot of attention has been given-- deservedly-- to HLD already; we're just in a place right now where no significant updates have been posted or shown since the E3 trailers back in June, and since this game isn't coming out until next year it makes sense that things are a bit quiet. Plus you have a steady stream of games actually coming out so people are talking about the things that they can play right now.

Make no mistake though games like this, Galak-Z, Below, etc.. are going to cause a fucking ruckus when they get around to releasing. HLD has been on my radar since day one and that ain't changing. This game is as good as bought when Heart Machine drops it.
 
Glad to hear that people are into the game. The reason I posted this now was 1. I had the free time to make the thread. 2. It can be used all the way up to the OT (whenever that may be). When a major update is released, I'll update the OP with the info. I took inspiration from the "Master Chief colleciton mega thread" and figured I'd do it for this little indie game. Make a little collection of information for the game until a pro makes the OT.

The layout is slick and just serves as a reminder how much I like the art style of HLD. Thanks, OP.
 
I've been hyped for this game since I first heard about it. Everything I have seen on it just helps build my anticipation. Day one purchase for me.
 
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! :D

I am really looking forward to this after checking it out at PAX East this year.

I am also going to break down into tears if they never allow me to translate it into Japanese for our Playism fans. (´・ω・｀)
 
This is one of my most anticipated games. Looks amazing.
 
My shiny new Vita will be all over this.


I don't normally go for pixel art, but something about this game makes me love it.
 
This game got a ton of attention already when the Kickstarter was announced. It was a huge success, reaching nearly all of its stretch goals.

Now we're simply letting the team do their job and get on with development. I still get updates quite a bit through email, but I tend to ignore them as I want to tackle the full game without knowing much more.

When this is close to release, I expect it will be a very big deal.
 
Looks really good and smooth. I feel it better than Below on XBO at the moment.
Will buy on Wii U if the feedback is positive.
 
Shoutout to Genbatzu for spotting a typo

:) Thanks, Gaz! I did take a few marketing courses while in university and came out of it with a business degree. Guess it rubbed off on this!

I hope they patch this so we can play with anyone.

BTW when was this gonna release again?

I'm personally gonna go with the Vita since I'm always out of home.

When I spoke to the devs at PAX, they were saying that they were targeting late 2014. But, if it were to need more time, early 2015 would be the case.
 
They're getting it out for all target platforms by this year or early next year? Seems like when it was on KS it was a PC, PSV/PS4 game but I can't remember if the original pitch had other SKU's but it seems if that's the case, then we're getting the game later than anticipated. As a backer, I'm curious.

Original pitch was just PC. PS4/Vita were the first stretch goals. Wii U was the $550,000 stretch mark. Xbox One was added later when ID@Xbox reached out to HeartMachine.
