I, a old school veteran, got pwned by foxes so many times I gave up even trying to figure it out.

That scares the fk out of me.

I really really like the use of animated textures in CD. If I ever get to make the game I'm planning, it will use animated textures for faces.

 

[ArchAngel]

That helmet animation looks awesome.

I keep on forgetting: Is this real-time or turn-based?

 

[Sensuki]

Player input is turn-based. The game will stop to wait for your input

Haven't been looking forward to a game so much since Shadowrun.

I have slight hopes that this will be even better than SR.

 

[Ninjerk]

Colonel, this is Snake. Can you hear me?

 

[ArchAngel]

I want this for Underrail!!

 

[gaussgunner]

Artistic.

 

[Urbanolo]

Is there any ETA available?

This looks neat and all but will the story be massive load of diarrhea to the face like Serpent in the Staglands was?

Meh, Serpent in the Staglands has its dose of "the story is what you do", and about Copper Dreams they even made a full update detailing how dialogs are properly integrated in the overall system.

Serpent in the Staglands Story was allright, but it was hard to understand how the decisions and skills could change parts of the story. I think they have learned their lessons and it was their first big game. Honestly, I'm still in awe how complete the world of Serpent feels and how big the game is.

I probably won't give them another chance. SitS was an anti-RPG with a "gotcha" ending where it specifically punished you for playing it. Like it's some kind of choice in a game of chutes and ladders because you can choose to continually pass your turn. It directly obviated player choice and agency, in an insane and moronic way.

I agree that it's a pretty well-realized world but that only makes the story and ending that much more horrendous. You can add a drop of wine to a barrel of sewage and its still sewage, but if you add a drop of sewage to a barrel of wine it all becomes sewage.

So your main reason you dislike them and probably won't give them another chance is because the end of their first major game was shit? How many games - let alone RPGs - have you finished that have good endings?

 

[CryptRat]

I liked the story in SitS and the way it was presented, and they are particularly concerned about delivering an experience inspired by P&P, in a pleasant way that doesn't insult the player's intelligence. This is easily one of the games I'm the most excited about.

I liked the story too, especially this "treasure hunt" - feeling, that I got from it. There was a mystery and you solved it. And like I said, the ending most people got (there are two, I think?) was because the systems weren't as clear as they should and maybe they should have cut it out. But if this is the only complaint you can have about a game, then they still did a very good job.
