Video Forest Demo

The movement was very impressive.​

I really appreciated that ridges perform like stairs and permit this.​

I am also interested to see how swimming will act.​

The lighting on the trees was also very dramatic, and suggests very much to be felt later on in such things.​

 

After the game is released there should be a parkour mod. Anyways the biomes look pretty fantastic, but I am most exited about the water.

 

AMAZING!!! Holy crap! They weren't joking when they said they were going to show us another teaser video. AND they've hired someone else (Bartwe) to try and push the release date forwards. Several things about the video:

• I'm glad that the slopes are invisible, when they said they were adding them I thought it wouldn't fit in with the aesthetics of the game.
• The lighting system has blown me away again.
• The music is amazing. Simply beautiful. I hope it'll be like this in the final game, so far the two tracks I've heard are really great.

 

I think the number of trees in the background should reflect the number of trees that you can interact with.
And they should be at around the same height so it looks like a forest and not a clearing.
Apart from that.
Beautiful.

 

Hmm I'm pretty sure this is still in production so they backgrounds aren't fully complete yet. Also, I saw some bounding boxes at 0:16 so it's fair to say Tiy just wanted to show us how the biomes will be generated.

Just thought i'd write a little bit of the camera that you can see in the video. They're using something called parallax scrolling, which means there are several different 2D layers moving at different speeds (from fastest to slowest):

The foreground (where the player runs across the terrain)
The first background layer (the lightest trees)
The second background layer (the darkest trees / forest)
The cloud / sky layer
The scenic layer (the mountains furthest away)
The sun / planets

These layers travel at different speeds depending on the position of your character. The closest layers move faster, the farther layers move slower, giving the impression of depth. As the game changes from day to night, the different layers change in brightness - that's why at nighttime you get a silhouetted effect in the background.

 

Soopah excited

 

I have to say, gameplay looks AMAZINGZ and everything, but the soundtrack didn't quite "Fit".
Don't get me wrong, good music, but it feels just so out of character for something set in space, after all, if its a game with adventuring in mind, which it is, shouldn't there be more, techno-ish style music playing? And something 8-bit i feel, would have sufficed.

 

im liking it cant wait for the other biomes still hoping to see the water effects video and remember thats just a teaser well end of Q2 is rolling around June 30th unless it rolls over into July so we are almost there beta testing will wanna be moving soon (TM) i stil lwant to throw my money at them so pre order hopefully will appear soon

 

What was shown here implies a lot more to come, and indicates a lot on its own. I rather like it so far, and I admit it has me eager to see what will be posted in the future.

 

I hope there are some planets/biomes where trees just get insanely tall.

Cool video.

 

Sadly I saw a YouTube someone copied this exact video and said it was theirs and you can download it at this link wow just wow.

 

flag it/report it if you can, mind pming me the link so i can too?

but anyways, am i the only one who's re-watched this video about 18 times over? i love how smooth the movement and everything is i can't wait to play this game

 

The smooth transitions were complimented well by the well-orchestrated music. Made it feel very peaceful. The lighting effects also continue to be impressive here with the flash light shining in the darkness. Not to mention the work put into the trees / objects in the background. All the more making me more excited for the game's release. ^^

 

Yes, I love the directional lighting...it is really pretty, and I think it may end up being spooky sometimes too. (what's behind you...AAAH...drops flashlight)

 

Our analysis video!

 

I have flagged it. Its already gone

 

My analysis video is finally up! Recorded on Monday, heat problems prevented an immediate upload, but here it is!

Fluffy trees

The trees and biomes look awesome, as well as the directional lighting. I look forward to wandering around my planet at night, lost, low on health and supplies with only my flashlight for company, the entire world pitch black around me except for my one spot of light

Backgrounds also look pretty cool, they add to the ohmygodIwanttoliveonthisplanet effect IMO.

 

Indeed! The biomes are beautifully designed and fancy-looking. I am also really excited to see the liquid system demo

 

I have a feeling this game is going to have really creepy parts because of the flashlights and stuff...
