Game News The New World Update #27: State of the Game - First Animations

[Fenix]

Coriolis effect and it's up or down not left.

I know about Coriolis force, I just thought there is something else besides it.

 

[Fenix]

Actually I think there IS something besides it - because I remember, it divert bullet to the left or something liek that.

 

[Blakemoreland Hybrid Boss]

They added some changes in the animations.

 

[Infinitron]

Updated (side by side for comparison):

What about the fanning?

 

[Vault Dweller]

There was no recoil on fanning so we didn't change it.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

GF and I went to one of those gun ranges where they let you fire machineguns. GF and I are both average people, I had fired shotguns and rifles, she never touched a gun before.

Overall she put more shots on target. With a pistol she was able to fire a few practice shots and then empty the magazine with rapid semi-auto and hit the target with most shots. With an MP5, she did not first handle the recoil properly and the gun jammed. Her second try went fine.

For me, I couldn't handle recoil very well at all. With the M4CQBR and UMP, I could only get 2-3 shots on target before the barrel jumped too high. No amount of my "superior mass" was helping.

In short, FPS games have lied to me. I'd take a semi-auto rifle over an automatic any day, and a girl can certainly fire a gun fine with practice.

We can consider restricting low strength characters regardless of the gender, but it's not something I feel strongly about as I don't want to force the players to put points in STR just to be able to use certain guns without penalties. Plus at the moment we don't have any STR-based penalties for guns.

Are there class or skill restrictions? As in, you need 100 GunSkill level to use the UberGun, or you need to be the Marine class? Are there separate skills for guns? Small guns, big guns, etc.

No classes, no skill restrictions, no UberGuns either. Well, energy weapons are uber but you need energy cells and they are as common as the power tubes in AoD. 3 firearm skills: pistols, rifles, SMGs.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Aww, no infinite-firing XCOM lasers? (That's probably wise.)

 

[Fenix]

I have found that effet I talked about - in Russian it's called "derivation', happen when bullet is rotating because of rifling of the barrel, bullet deviate in the direction in which it rotates.
Significant on distance higher then 300 meters.

 

[Vault Dweller]

 

[Fenix]

Dangerhair alert.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Many characters have datajacks, so shaved sides are fairly common.

 

[Murk]

These are extremely important details that will single-handedly decide whether this game is good or not.

 

[Daedalos]

Lol the female model reminds me ALOT of the Torment: Tides of Numenera models with the sidecut and the tattoo/datajack and shit.. heh.

Good work, Vince! Keep working on those animations. I would love to see the death animations, the really gory ones.

 

[HeatEXTEND]

LOLOLOL Jackhead's ass wobbles LOLOLOL

Really liking the straight-arm one, looks great already. The hip one looks a bit funny but that might just be the clear scene.

 

[Fenix]

Can we find at least one woman without such dangerhairs?
Like you know, long hairs and all that, I don't think it's impenetrable obstacles for datajacks, more like preference.

LOLOLOL Jackhead's ass wobbles LOLOLOL

At least she have ass.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Can we find at least one woman without such dangerhairs?

What an odd question. You see one character and assume that everyone else looks the same as her?

 

[supervoid]

I'd say, give everybody 70s punk hairstyles. It will make space for datajacks and additionally eliminate issues with hair physics and mesh clipping.

 

[Blakemoreland Hybrid Boss]

I thought TNW would break the tranny curse of AoD and DR. I was wrong.

 

[Fenix]

You see one character and assume that everyone else looks the same as her?

Not exactly. While it would be 101% viable question in modern gamedev, ITS is another case.
So I more like tried to make sure it's not actually the case.

tranny curse of AoD and DR

Wait what?

 

[Blakemoreland Hybrid Boss]

Wait what?

In AoD and DR, male and female character models are almost indistinguishable. The ITS developers themselves made jokes in the past about having erectile dysfunction because of the game.

 

[Fenix]

Ah... well, Roxanne should be muscular to survive that's for sure.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Exaggerated animations are 100% definitely the way to go in an isometric game. Having said that, no purchase unless I can have bubble-gum pink twin-tails on my character.

Also, lol at all the armchair gun experts in this thread :D
