Well one reason we're holding off on gameplay vids is due to our publisher overlords. We'll be doing a series of gameplay videos and a bigger push later in the year closer to release. The big indicator of that starting will be when we release the long promised second story trailer from the Arcturan perspective. But along with that will also be getting towards the closed beta period. The past 8 months or so really involved reworking a lot of the core code of the strategic game. A lot of systems "worked" but couldn't be expanded on or we found out needed extensive re-writing to really operate as designed. All of which would have come out in beta or made it much harder. We have taken the chance to update the UI and one thing we're doing now is reworking the building art for colonies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsEXDozkCVo Here's this week's menace, the techno-organic Infection. (think Borg-Reapers-Beast combined into one big nasty)

It'll be a little bit still before we start showing more gameplay videos. But this weekend we finished up the revamped leader system (minus some filters) and they include some new whistles like quotes for the unique leaders to add some more flavor. Also, here's the last of the grand menaces, the interdimensional "system killer" Interloper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXUhOPpONus

When we get to the beta we'll be sending invites around but that's going to be [redacted].

And what exactly are the pirate mechanics? They just show up and start blasting transports? How does trade work?

Baronjutter posted:And what exactly are the pirate mechanics? They just show up and start blasting transports? How does trade work? Trade's done through trade treaties that once established will grow into netting BCs for the empires. Basic pirates as a random event basically act as a BC penalty on a system until cleaned up by a fleet. So not the "blowing up unprotected planets" threat from a lot of current games. But again may be subject to changes during testing. MikeC: When it's done is an awful response but kinda the one we have at the moment. We are aiming for end of this year. We were aiming originally for the end of last year but we've been reworking a lot of the code base. But it's given us an opportunity to do things like rework the building art into 3d, add some more strike craft art, etc. that you'll see in the coming months. While we've kept pretty close to the design doc to try to avoid feature creep, we've had some "UI creep" with trying to increase feedback with dynamic tooltips.

Well despite the delays it's paid off. I'm sure people would rather have a stable game that one with divide by zero errors

You've been playing your cards really close to your chest Atarask, I hope it works out in the end.

Well gameplay videos and streaming need to go through the publisher overlords first, but we'll be doing a bigger blitz on that in the coming months. The first sign of the LoR pocalypse is going to be when we show off the Arcturan story trailer so that should give a good heads up for when we're closer to closed beta and recruiting goons. Anyway playing the cards close is kinda needed since we are a small team and have a pretty tight vision for the game . There's a few things that current 4xes are doing (quest chains) that we're not, but we're also trying to provide a more in depth tactical game than what is currently out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JlHQcNmq0U So another monster preview, this time a Rigelan beserker left over from the last great war. One irritating thing about some scifi settings is how the elder races are downright stagnant, but we're trying to show that there's been a bit of change over the past 1,000 years :-)

Here's a peak at Lore's friend the space crystal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=533_x2T6pzs As for showing a gameplay video, we have a little more polishing on ground combat (adding some noise to timings so stuff isn't lock step) but the mechanics are there. So a WIP view might be coming sooner than later.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7g5S3_eZQs At goon (and other's) request here's a look at some of the in progress revisions in the galaxy scene. It's a long video and gives a pretty in depth status update as to where things are at. We'll be doing some other videos as updates happen like replacing the building sprites with the new 3d objects in colony view.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:This is old but it was great to see the game in action. Yeah, it's nice to see something concrete and in movement. And as I'm a sucker for nice-looking maps, I'm already 10x more interested then before!

Well I was a bit surprised to see responses here. We're chugging away at things which is why we've been pretty quiet. I could use about 3 copies of myself right now, one to do tactical tweaks, another to work on cutscenes, and a third to work on character animations. So for some super secret goon content:  Aranid scientist, portion of the animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2Ty9JyGwe4 Warp amplifier constructed cutscene. We're orchestrating the scenes now, a lot of these cutscenes are for when you build big structures like Artificial Planets and Stargates. So rewarding the player for more than explosions. Right now I'm working on some shaders for the grid in tactical. The big three things we're working on until closed beta begins are: 1) Tactical 2) AI 3) Load/Save The third we're trying to make efficient save files. We don't want to be one of those 4x games with 1gig saves.

When we get to closed QA testing we'll shoot feelers around the boards. Speaking of tactical, we just released two videos going over some of the basics: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj1fxCPNE3I Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0HVEa4bC60 More polish on ship movement (speeds, banking) and spawning are pending. We'll also be integrating in weapons and defenses in the coming weeks and show that off when it's ready.
