AoD combat video

[Special_Can]

It's in the coming soon section on the front page of Rpg Vault. I figured we can have a topic to discuss it. This is supposed to have the combat video, right?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Yep. Plus 7 new combat screens and an article.

The first ever. The earliest AoD video known to man.

Edit: It's not perfect, so don't expect much. Think of it as a rough draft that will be tweaked and improved later.

You gonna can the moving shadows aren't you?

I know people have said this before . . . but now it's urgent.

Before the RPG Vault preview goes live, you should really, really replace the screenshots on the AoD website with ones that have the new interface. Seriously. The game looks so much better with that interface. It's night and day. If you get even a few new people seeing the preview and heading to your website, I think it would be well worth it to have better screenshots. The old interface makes the game look unprofessional, the new one just makes it look like a professional, "classic" game a few years behind the times.

If you have to, just make the edits in Photoshop (OMG LYING HYPE).

EDIT: And consider ditching the bottom two screenshots, or at least putting a note on the website that they are early concepts without placeables and such. Frankly, I say just get rid of them, or replace them with something more current.

Will do. Thanks for the reminder.

Yes, please don´t forget about it. Tell me if you need anything, like some renders and such.

Rpg vault? The IGN one? I can't find anything.

 

[Volrath]

It's on the front page.

 

[jeansberg]

That is, it says it coming soon on the front page. The article is not there yet.

An unoptimized build, eh? Stop the bullshit, everyone knows that games always look worse than they do in the previews.

Okay, so I was given a chance to see the video beforehand. I must say it looks great. Not "great for an indie" but great compared to games like Dungeon Siege and Neverwinter Nights. The models are detailed, the animations fluid and varied.

Implementing the menu for choosing different attacks was worth it. It seems very quick and easy to use.

The inventory seemed to be better than Fallout's. Flashback scrolled it quite effortlessly.

The best parts were the death animations and the special attacks. The only gripe I have is that some of the weapon swinging animations seemed too slow, too powerless. (though VD said they are aware of the problem.)

All in all, the combat really seemed to work. Everything was smooth and clear and there were numerous options. After seeing the video, fighting and visuals are the very least of my worries. It also gives me hope that the other areas of the game will be as good.

"Will do. Thanks for the reminder."

I've reminded you at least three times already since I joined up and you still haven't done it. If you spent as much time as you did with those awful Fallout previews you would of done it already!

I think it's a running gag. Someone says "Update your website" and he says "I will" but he never does.

 

[RGE]

But surely he'd clean his apartment/house before guests are coming? Even I do that.

Will do. Thanks for the reminder.

Since nobody else dares to mention it: Update that wesite

I don't. Then again all the 'guests' that ever come by are close friends who can't give a fuck.

 

[JrK]

It's on the front page.

Hmm, couldn't find anything. Strange.

Alright, don't panic, calm down, everything will be fine, situation is under control, it will be updated soon =)

Try Ctrl+F -> Age of Decadence . That should help.

It's the last post under "news" before the "RPGVault features" stuff.

Firefox didn't find it for me through Ctrl-F at first either.

It's there now but I couldn't find it when I posted.

Come on, do it. Do it now. Have you done it yet? Chop, chop!

Come on, do it. Do it now.

Yay! The website has been updated!
