Sandfall - Tech Demo!!

[Mazoku]

Downloaded and tried the battle system out. I absolutely love the shooting. Took me awhile to figure out where to get bullets, but once I had them it was pretty sweet. I agree with Venetia about the reloading though. Going into the menu every 6 shots sucks. A quick hotkey would be much smoother. And honestly I thought the melee was kind of meh compared to the shooting. Maybe if you had a time limit to input the buttons. I dunno.

The battle system is going to be revised, especially for the new version. Since we're going to be selling the motherfucker, it has to be absolutely flawless. The other day I actually found this, which is a pretty nice representation of what the shooting part of the Sandfall system would be like. I figure it might be able to hold you guys over until I get something done, since I think it will be pretty similar.

The big feature from that video that I want to add is the toggle-strafing. I actually had strafing in the very old Sandfall demo, but it worked differently, and I like they way they use it there. Other than that, it doesn't really present anything that I hadn't already been planning on using, but it shows them being used well.

Incomplete but it's something.

Well, that sucks for all the money-less fanboy teenagers like me
oh well, good luck with it!

there are lots of ways to get it for free but i cannot post them because the walls have eyes. there will be at least one open beta very close to release so everyone can try their hand at bugtesting and cool stuff. despain explained a lot of it here and we'll explain more as we come closer to a full release.
