Frankies gif thread, 56k modems beware!

[Frankie]

So, I've been taking quick gifs of the game while we've been developing as a quick and easy way to capture something cool that a still picture couldn't and thought it might be fun to put them here. Please ignore any really obvious errors as it's still a work in progress but you're very welcome to make any suggestions.

Here's one from a while back, I think we had just implemented gold drops and I was having fun taking down some monsters;

This is torture! I want to play so bad. >.<

Combat system looks so smooth, great job.

Drop is auto pick up when you walk on it or you have to pick it up by mouse click?

[Frankie]

Sorry Rhietram, if it helps alleviate the touture I could post some not so good ones? Try this wonkey https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1693140/game/horsewalk.gif

Although, I can't help myself, here's a nice rainy one.

Hey Organista, gold is currently auto pickup and so are the red health orbs, however loot bags are manual.

OMG hahaha

But I'm sure this is a torture that will pay off so well at the end.

By the way, that horse is so funny.

Man that rain reminds me of Amazon Camp in Diablo 2, love it!

That is some reaaally nice work you got there. Some time ago I tried to make a game with isometric camera but with UE3 ,but mostly I was dealing with locations(It was a brief thing).Anyway the combat system looks so smooth:D The whole graphics are nice and of course there is a slime kind monster Keep up the good work!

[Frankie]

Yes Slimes! They are really dangerous actually as you need to keep an eye out for and dodge the underground tunnel attack otherwise they knock you flying and then the other monsters are able to get attacks in. There's also an even bigger version that's pretty nasty too, and an EVEN BIGGER one but I haven't setup attacks on it yet so its harmless.



What happened to your game Thoot? I hadn't really worked in Isometric style before but it's turned out to be pretty fun, especially the monsters

[ilich]

Wow, this graphics and animation looks amazing! Is there a place for vikings with a long beards and hair and a huge bearded axes in the game?

[thoot7]

Wow ,just wow I don't know what else can I say ^^ Combat looks just so smooth. I'm waiting for more gifs from you Frankie.

[Frankie]

Ilich, not sure. Well obviously there's always a place for vikings with long beards and hair and a huge bearded axes but I doubt a simple model swap would be good enough to do the axe combat justice and brand new weapon type combo planning and animations are a low priority at the moment. However you can pick some viking style haircuts/beards and I like vikings so expect that influence will work it's way into some items.

Here's a gif with some 2 player monster bashing,

[thoot7]

That is...quite interesting. Looks amazing.

[organista]

Gunner looks great, but I think i'll stick to classic warrior when we get a chance to play Anyway looks like he can be OP in PvP games

[Frankie]

Crosspost from the tower work in progress thread in the members only developer forum, model and enviroment is still under construction but shows a nice example of accelerated atmospheric switches. It's a powerful system we can use to change the feeling of the game as you progress though the story and explore new areas.

[MaskedChimp]

Frankie, you are killing me!

The game is looking AWESOME!!!

[piotras]

I quite like the ranged class, give me a shotgun and a nade launcher and I'll be on my way ^^

[evilgrin]

The shotgun looks pretty cool.

[piotras]

need more gif-induced hype!

[Frankie]

Hey Piotras was away last week but stuck up an unfinished monster thread, viewtopic.php?f=10&t=28
I'll update that thread without worrying about too much about rough or unfinished bits
