Also, is it just me, or is the download of videos from the webpage really slow? Like 5KB/s or less.
Updated the thread with Zom's post, and asked Roo-kie to move it to the MMO section.
Art style looks awesome. Too bad I despise monthly fees.
Meh if it's as good as it sounds, or even only half of it, it will be worth the fee.
I'm more than willing to pay if it's fun.
This looks amazing. I liked Okami, and many other artsy games...

The editing tools are cool, and mixed with an MMOFPS, it sounds like a recipe for win.
[QUOTE=Shitface;14786893]Shit, my first name is Eskil. Was so confused when i read this D:
I seriously thought that i must had a double life or split personalities.
But then i lol'd.[/QUOTE]
Take the blue pill, Eskil.
The game looks neat, but damn am I excited about those tools. Downloading now, they look so useful. I had no idea about "Verse".
Hmm, so no news on how far along this game is or an approximate release date. Shame.
I will keep an eye on this game, but I'll be very disappointed if the developer bails on it.
where did he get that bad shaders? someone teach this man to make shaders, seriously.

:ughh:
That's the point of the graphics, they are supposed to be artistic, not realistic.
Artistic? you meen like ablob of colors? couse thats what it looks like right now.
actually i think the look is pretty nice...atleast it's different but shaders are still bad.
good shaders != realistic shaders
the problem is that characters blend too much into eviroment
Fapfapfapfap.
Want badly.
Anything with deformable terrain is good for me. Being able to blow holes in things sounds like fun. :3

The shaders are like that so they can blend together when the landscape is edited.
If the shaders were more realistic then there would be all sorts of ugly inconsistencies where the landscape has been changed.
Also, part of the reason the shaders and textures are very simple is that they usually require a lot of manpower, which is something he doesn't really have in abundance since he's working on the game all by himself.
I find his approach to game development very unique and facinating.
Eskil Steenburg is a brilliant programmer who dislikes mindless repetative tasks and a lot of his game design philosophy revolves around developing automated systems to do that kind of work for him. For example, he didn't really do much UV mapping for this game at all, at least not directly. Nearly all the UV maps in this game were generated automatically by a clever program he wrote. A lot of the modelling is done the same way, he doesn't have to spend as much time on modelling because early on he developed automated programs that fill in the gaps for him. The level design itself is also automatic, in fact this bit of automation is part of the gameplay.
Basically he can make this game without a large team of people behind him because in a way he pretty much made his own development team out of automated programs.
You don't need to hire workers to build a house you designed when you have an army of little robots at your disposal.
When I looked at those videos I had a cosy feeling in my belly...
Probably going to pick this up
Epic bump, epic videos cant wait

your avatar is fitting.
Sadly this game looks like absolute shit. Apparently there isn't even any PvE.
Gonna stick with Darkfall.

Sorry the gameplay is too innovative for you. Even if that does not interest you, show some respect to the awesome engine it was coded on. :smile:

There is barely any PvE in darkfall.
I need a release date now. By the look of that trailer, it can't be to far off. Or so it seems...
Well.. I got to say, it's definitely caught my interest. Mainly because it seems so different.
I won't pass any judgment yet, because I'd like to see reviews after the games released and see what people think...
It looks like its got potential and the ideas to be an awesome game though.

Knowing reviewers, if you don't have a gun and shoot something (Halo, CoD), or if you don't press auto-attack and watch (WoW), it will score low.
This is awesome, very awesome.
