Support NeoGAF

[ACESmkII]

Early footage looked great, just needs to be changed to a jogging animation and it looks like IGA is already on it. I Just raised my pledge from $100.00 to $300.00. I really hope it reaches the 4.75 million. I really want a prequel game for 3ds and Vita.

I wonder if we are going to hear anything about the Japanese voice actors? This game needs Norio Wakamoto.

 

[georly]

My lust for art books could not be satiated, in for $150 now. Happy to see IGA taking such care with every detail already.

Man those signed Amano prints flew. I would love that poster but alas, I have other things that require my wallets attention.

Ugh, I'm going to regret not getting the art book, aren't I? I'll sleep on it, but I have a feeling i'll back at the 175 tier tomorrow. It's hardcover now, right? Not softcover? Any word on how many pages? Hopefully not like... 20?

holy cow that video did wonders. The numbers are going up so fast!

How many new backers and how many people just upping their pledges? lol

I think most people on here have pledged enough for 5 people each.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

After that video, I'm going to give the KS more money.

Here's the info you seek

:O damn, ok, definitely sleeping on it, but I'm leaning toward definitely maybe.

That's still no hyrule historia, but for nearly ~$25 and it's supporting a good cause... sighhhhhhhhhhhhh

I mean, in reality, out of context, I don't think i'd buy a 50 page artbook for 25 bucks, but this DOES help fund the game...

Ok, i'll sleep on it.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Yup yup exactly this. Everything that comes out of that man's mouth makes me say "yeah, you 100% get why we liked these games" so I'm 100% confident he'll deliver.

I'm really surprised by this because I never expected any actual, specific feedback to find its way to him at the time.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

It just jumped 1500 dollars in the last 5 minutes lol so I'd say the new video has people hyped.

 

[Easy_D]

All my worries washed away.

Man didn't need feedback. He just KNEW, he's that good.

 

[Dr. Kaos]

The potential of this game is huge. I have no doubt it'll be good. Definitely worth backing!

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I managed to find the gameplay video, but where's the information about Yoshitaka Amano?

Update is up...

I wonder if egoraptor snagged the signed amano art. I know he's a huge fan of amano and missed a chance at a signed copy of something once (in line right after the cutoff point, iirc).

 

[Dice]

"Sounds like the programmers added a lot to the art"
"Yeah, they have a lot of good ideas"

Iga teaching him how to be a better leader who encourages team orchestration of the best possible product.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Man, so, so hyped. Gonna play some Harmony of Despair now to hold me over. xD

 

[Parsnip]

Very smart of them to plop out that small gameplay demo, now we are no longer backing on faith alone. It's something concrete.

Personally couldn't care less about Amano, never liked his art at all. But good on the people who already grabbed the tier, those went fast.

 

[Hero Prinny]

oh wow so it might actually look like the concept art shot they got. I was going to finally back my first game ever on kickstarter but then i saw $28 just to get it digitally. nah, I'm good. I can wait

 

[Instro]

Pledges moving fast right now.

28 is too much?

Thank you. I'm so excited for this and it looks like we just got $100,000 in just an hour. Insane!

 

[MrDaravon]

I doubt it, but it'd be nice if they made the Amano posters buyable separately later. I can't afford or justify $250 to get one, but I'd be willing to buy one on it's own for like $40-50 later or something :/

 

[ladyluthien]

I am so excited for this game and we still have two years to go haha!

 

[Merc_]

Looks pretty good so far for such early work. I definitely feel like this game is going to be special.

 

[Yokai]

I'm actually pretty confident in this. I'll still probably wait until the game is actually out though, since I haven't actually played SotN or any games prior.

Will definitely keep my eye on it though.

[names2hard4you]

It's so crazy how close to the concept images this gif is, UE4 must do wonders with dev time:

 

[Eusis]

Actually, now that I think about it even if it does look more like, say, Strider in regards to how the visuals are handled, it may still validate my thoughts that the art style lends itself MUCH better to going 3D than MN09's did. It even seems kind of like how I thought Rondo of Blood went to 3D more naturally than MMU.

 

[Hero Prinny]

28 is too much?

for how much i personally feel the game is worth? yes. 8 dollars too much to be exact.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Ha, think it's cool how her vitality and magic bar is exactly the same as the Concept art. lol

 

[InfiniteNine]

That prototype is looking good! The colors blend in way better than the concept art especially with the light coming out of the windows.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

for how much i personally feel the game is worth? yes. 8 dollars too much to be exact.

You think this game holds a value of only $20? Sure, they might sell it to u for that amount, but really u think that it's only legit worth that??? Damn man, where's your 2D spirit

 

[Creaking]

Ha, think it's cool how her vitality and magic bar is exactly the same as the Concept art. lol

I'm guessing that's because, at this point, it's a completely non-functional image pasted on top of everything else.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

What's crazy is this is probably already the biggest game budget Iga has ever had.

 

[direct_quote]

Where'd you get that!??

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Ha, think it's cool how her vitality and magic bar is exactly the same as the Concept art. lol

because it's probably a placeholder copied directly from it. A lot of the minor details like how the UI will look probably won't be set in stone for a long, long time.

 

[Lathentar]

Because it is the concept art used as the textures?

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Because it is the concept art used as the textures?

yep. Though, I did notice the stuff behind the windows is properly scrolling.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Because it is the concept art used as the textures?

Well I have eyes so I see the windows are taller and the color elements are different along with the illumination from the sunset outside.
It may not be fully 3D but it's clearly not the same concept art at least.

 

[dreampeppers99]

She looks really nice when zoomed (a 3d like thing)

 

[alf717]

I need to find a place to upload the pic

Try abload.de

 

[Sevyne]

Damn, that video. Off to a good start from the looks of it. The things Iga had to say in it really shows how much he totally gets it. He knows exactly what makes these games great.

Honestly, working with Iga could be a great learning experience for Inti. I think they'll be much better for it.

 

[names2hard4you]

Yeah it's definitely not the same. Plus the game was supposed to be 2.5D right? So if we are to go by what's been said, this could very well be a simplified version of what the game will look like. Obviously better lighting, animations, etc, but the fact that they were able to whip this up so quickly with UE4 is great news.

 

[Lathentar]

It's clearly the same concept art modified for in game usage as the camera appears to be significantly further than the concept art had it. The illumination is more than likely just bloom.

I'm pretty sure it's not the same since even the gold lined symbols on the sides of the wall banner are different. I could give you windows being resized but there are quite a few changed details including a more polished coloring style.

 

[Hero Prinny]

yep. its cool though, I'll just buy it when it does officially come out and it hits a price i think its worth. its no like it needs my backing anyway

 

[Lathentar]

I won't argue. My main point is if they have no geometry in the backgrounds (which is what they seem to have now), they will be able to produce a look very close to the concepts. However, that approach can be limiting in what you can do with interaction/rendering with the background elements.

That approach would allow them to get up a quick proof of concept with near final art for a small section of the game regardless of the engine they are using.

 

[names2hard4you]

Counting the "squares" on the windows shows that they are both different, or modified to be longer. Also the banners are indeed different, along with the background that is scrolling in the back, and the lighting.

did you forget that inti already made the absolutely incredible rockman zero series? give them some credit

 

[OmegaDL50]

YES!

Let's not forget Megaman 9 and 10 and Megaman ZX as well.

I believe few of Inti Creates Staff were also directly involved in the Megaman X series.

So they DO have some credibility for making platformers.

 

[AmanoBuff]

Amano art!!?!!?!??

Cmckahchwjdnvkskqiejdow....I can't....

Spoiler

I'm worried it will be folded like the one in Child of Light

 

[ghibli99]

Nice attitude.
