Whew! I thought I was going to be in trouble.

Just to keep up some discussion, what do you guys think of the fact that they'll be using Unity? Personally I think that's awesome. I've been working with that engine in my day job for years now and I think it's an excellent call. It seems to be popping up more often as the engine of choice in Kickstarter projects. For instance, Shadowrun Returns was initially going to use one engine but decided to go with Unity instead. It would be interesting if it became the standard for Kickstarter devs.

Speaking of Unity, esp. in the role that it can play for this game, I don't suppose Unity is built with destructable environment in mind is it?

Hell yes it is. It has NVIDIA PhysX built right in. You can do some pretty destructive stuff with it if you plan for it.


This is awesome to hear. I hope we get to level buildings again. :)

Yeah, it is looking better. Man, the tension is killing me. I have to wonder if they are keeping a nice gameplay mockup in their back pocket to release at a strategic time. I hope so.

Same here.

Sorry for not participating in the thread more, I usually prefer lurking. Though thanks to this thread I threw a hundred bucks (that I initially had no intention in throwing) to them so thank you guys for all the updates and vocal enthusiasm. :)
