If the title says it, it has to be true, right? ;-)

It's the Frankenstein monster!

And it smells even worse after all this time...

Hope you guys and girls see it through to the finish now, hehe :lol:

I bet the number of people in your team is bigger than the number of people visiting the website regularly...

Good to see Wilds has joined the team

Gratz, Wilds! Nice one...

Oh, btw, when I want to reply to the message on the home page, I'm required to login with Wordpress apparently. What's up with that?

Can't seem to login there...

Hoera!

Oh that's why I had to log in to wordpress in order to comment. Still mod status apparently? lol

by **USSGreatePier** » 01 Oct 2014, 18:28

No Wordpress for me, so no comments then, haha... Oh, btw, has forum registry been activated again? Since there are new updates flowing in that might be an idea.

I know I'm known for my pedantic behavior, butt I gues I wont meention that out of 10 wurds on teh image of the "Its Alife!" frotpage news 2 are mispellt :lol:

Yeah, we're not happy with how Wordpress and PHPBB are working.

We've thought about getting rid of wordpress replies and replacing them with a social plugin, as it seems that the front page is now likely to have discussions similar to those on the forums.

So we might end up fixing PHPBB (and opening registration again) and using a social plugin for the front page.

Sounds good

Would be nice to see some activity on this forum again.

Likely that Timen is going to be the one who makes the changes. We'll keep the board closed for a couple more days.

Lots of things going on at the moment, I expect to be able to share some more stuff during following week.

Huge improvement! The old one looks like a flat pancake next to the new texture :p

I agree, it looks a lot better! Well done, Pascal...

Keep the updates coming

Can't wait to see some animated stuff.

Agreed! And that one looked like a big improvement over the first one as well :-)

Another post! Check it out people :-)

Impressive list of improvements... Sweet

Diablo-style mouse controls for PC players who do not have a controller.

Not familiar with Diablo controls tbh... Is the character movement done with the mouse or (also?) with WASD or cursor?

by **Remco** » 15 Oct 2014, 08:14

Controls are mouse-only. Keyboard controls really got in the way during combat, so we got rid of them enitrely.

You should try the Diablo demo to see what I mean. There will be keyboard shortcuts of course for switching weapons and pulling up the menus, but movement and attacking is limited to mouse controls.

And controllers of course, those will work just fine :-)

by **Steven_** » 17 Oct 2014, 13:34

That's a very impressive list! The new Dragon Age game better watch out :p

"Elder Scrolls VII: Grutte Pier hout d'r yn om"

by **Remco** » 20 Oct 2014, 08:10

Well underway in our next sprint. It's due Friday, so there is still plenty to do. All major mechanics will be finished by this week, meaning that all that is left (...) is tweaking the missions until they are perfect.

We're doing some pitches again in the next couple of weeks, so we'll start working on a new trailer. I still think we should not show gameplay until there is a complete trailer ready for the entire world to enjoy, but there are so many new animations that I also want to show some tidbits in the meantime.

There will be a new post tomorrow, have not yet decided what to post about. Perhaps some more details about the changes in the maps?

by **Remco** » 22 Oct 2014, 17:06

Have not forgotten about the update this week.

Just busy ...

by **Remco** » 28 Oct 2014, 12:03

Update on the front page! I'm loving the music :-)

by **Steven_** » 28 Oct 2014, 14:16

Me too! Very epic indeed xD

by **Remco** » 28 Oct 2014, 14:39

Thanks

Indeed, indeed... It really sets the mood. Also digging the new logo, it seems better than the old one on this site. And who can dislike the title screen with such succulent meat roasting over the fire...

brb, going to find some meat in the kitchen...

by **Remco** » 12 Nov 2014, 12:33

Just a quick update for you guys. We've finished all major functionality but are now completely focussing on the missions. We're working on getting a trailer ready, but we want to make sure it shows all aspects of the game.

So probably no update this week, but hopefully we'll show some new stuff soon.

by **trinest** » 09 Mar 2015, 11:23

So I get busy with other things and health and life and stuff and the game progresses to fast.

I should disappear more often.
