[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uimWTO7H1Fs[/media] This game keeps getting more and more amazing. Preorder at [url]http://www.wolfire.com/preorder[/url] Follow @wolfire at [url]http://www.twitter.com/wolfire[/url]

Those bleeding effects are fascinating. :v: Pre-ordered this game a few months ago, I pick up the latest alpha every few weeks and screw around..It's quite fun to see how it changes.

Why are they animals again?Jjust because or does it have some story to it? OP needs more info.

Those blood dripping effects are sex.

Oh boy this isn't going to turn into OH NO ANIMALS again is it. I haven't played it with the new combat mechanics yet, what are they like? It looks way more fluid than before.

Best blood ever.

I honestly want to see some sexy dismemberment in this. It would go so well with the blood effects.

Now for the dismemberment engine. Drats, ninjad again.

I just love Wolfire. The ideas this guy got are fucking brilliant, I mean, making blood drip, generated from a texture, instead of putting a decal over the model? That's innovation folks.

That stabbing wound method would be brilliant for bullet wounds. Too bad this isn't a game that's going to have firearms.

Let me point out that in the 144 video, the combat got really fucking [B]SWEET.[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Re4zc47iq0[/media] It's getting precision and complexity of a 2D-locked fighting games while boasting completely free movement. It's going to be the best melee game ever.

Glad I preordered now, it's getting better from week to week.

Why have I only seen this game now?

herp-a-derp

$30? hmm..

Is there much to do in the preorder builds? Lugaru was pretty cool so I definitely want to get this when it comes out but is it worth it now?

the bleeding is so awesome, that i kinda feel bad for those bunnies :smith:

You can place map props in the environments aswell if you want to. Also if you preorder you get access to the secret preorder forum which has a few mods and maps on it.

[QUOTE=krail9;31914697]Is there much to do in the preorder builds?

If you're going to purchase this early make sure the main reason is to get the final version.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;31914660]The characters need to be more human-like, but they appearances don't necessarily have to change because they are after all standing on their feet like humans. But too fast acceleration when you go running and too agile and high jumps, it makes the fighting awkward which is the cool thing about this game. [b]Edit[/b] Imo anyway[/QUOTE] Well I think the whole benefit of having animals is they don't have to be human-like in their movement. They can accelerate faster and jump higher because they aren't humans. It also means fights can be quicker and more acrobatic because of it. I think it's a great stylistic choice, aside from the fact that it was also present in the first game.

This is really cool. I don't think I've seen a game where the blood actually drips off the wounds. I didn't quite understand how it worked but I'm an complete dolt when it comes to that kind of stuff.

I wish this was cheaper though so i cant buy it :( I was a great fan of lugaru.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;31916151]Well I think the whole benefit of having animals is they don't have to be human-like in their movement. They can accelerate faster and jump higher because they aren't humans.[/QUOTE] well if you see that as a benefit then fine

I want to see a motherfucking Bruce Lee skin.

I just used Trialpay to preorder it, they had a Netflix offer so it worked out pretty well. It amazes me how advanced this engine is, especially when compared to professional ones.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;31920131]Well if you see that as a benefit then fine. But I see it more as a nuisance, judging by the alpha that I've played for about.. 20 minutes.[/QUOTE] [img]http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lagz0r8o111qb1y7ao1_400.jpg[/img]

This will surely be Indie game of the year when it's released. Holy hell how they make additions. They are also really nice developers, makers of all the Humble Indie bundles. Pre-ordered a Loooong time ago.
