Congrats. I also beat it today. Good luck in expert :)

And yes. The engine is fantastic. If he ever needs money he could probably license it to other dev-teams. Anyway, If you check the old Kickstarter video pitch, it's all made by one dude!
Yes Madoc and i think one of his friends who has studied physics has helped him.

Don't wanna spam my videos, but check this battle out. I have tagged the time in the video. I get "ambushed" by two zombies and chaos follows :)

This also makes me wonder how many npcs this engine support before starting to lag. I'm thinking a battlefield in terms of Mount & Blade. Man, that would be awesome. Think riding a horse through hordes of footmen with the physic engine in full force :)

Edit:

If the video is not showing the right time-stamp it is around 37:06

lol I got raped by the first dude.

Yep, he is a killer. Don't know how many times that guy have murdered me.

I recommend training in the arena :)
The zombies have different moves from the humans and they are more or less fearless though, but better than nothing I guess.

I started your first video but an hour is just too long man.

I know they are pretty long, but it's mostly for my own sake. My videos used to be to 10-25 minutes but I rather make one long video than 4 small. Just feels more practical. The attention spam might not last for most YouTubers, but I'm thinking if someone really wants to see this game, now at least they got a full hour of content :P
But each to his own I guess, and yeah, thanks for feedback :)

The combat looks damn awesome, and if it looks awesome it must play even better

I got to the second fight with two zombies and proceeded to fall all over a table and chairs while they spanked me to death with a prosthetic leg and a crutch. The whole time I was thinking 'There's no way I'll die from repeated blows to my clothed ass' but sure enough even when the yellow bar depletes you die. Before that I had stupidly believed that you had to lose the yellow and red bar. Whoops. Pretty sweet octodad with swords gameplay. Looking forward to Sui Generis.

So they're making two standalone games with the same engine, it seems...

Exanima the dungeon crawler and Sui Generis the RPG. Is Exanima supposed to be like a demo?

They need to add some capoeira music during the fights...because that's what it looks like they are doing. Physics based fighting is a great idea, doesn't look like they've done a convincing job implementing it though.

The combat looks much, much worse if the person playing is fairly new and unused to the controls.

Game is great. Latest patch made everything feel more responsive and added encumbrance. I've just finished first level, mapping it on my own as I go. Good fun.

Also find I it great, although I can't get clear the first level anymore. Not due to bugs or anything, I just suck hehe. But I love the new AI. Some of them run away, some of them don't care about you, and some of them follow you around, making you feel uneasy.

The running away is supposed to be tweaked a bit. Right now the undead scare too easy. I had so much fun chasing one of them around the hospital/experiment area and cornering it in a small room... I love how IK makes long weapons impractical in confined spaces!

Got to admit that this looks like dogs bollocks, nice Diablo-ish atmosphere, plenty o darkness and some fucking amazing attention to detail, but the control scheme and how the characters move just looks a bit...naff. Still keep me eye open and see what it turns out like, at least devs trying someat new.

Both parties look like blind and drunk idiots waving swords. Nice concept but still looks ridiculous.

A Beautifully Desolate Campaign
It's weird, just watching videos it does look somewhat clowny, but playing it yourself just makes it feel "real". The controls are very responsive to what you are actually doing, or rather try to do since the controls are just that different (and fun).

The movement has improved a lot since the earliest version, especially in this latest patch. Very responsive and looks good if the player is competent.

This game is 2h sword combat sim. Great fun! It give rewarding feeling to outsmart AI with fancy sword dance.
Not just modern click to win gaems.
