And man, I'm not a Springsteen and The E Street fan AT ALL. Never liked his music.

But I had to look up who the faggot looking dude hugging him in the video CONSTANTLY was.

Steven van Zandt? Yeah Steve, you're gay. FYI.

Yeah, definitely some gay ass.

Zep--

Other than hand-waving fanaticism, do you actually have an argument?

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

Zep is zep. Think of him as the guy that always makes you feel grateful for the life you lead.

 

[Metro]

Is it 50% off on Steam yet?

Was that you asking the interview questions? Then yes.

Why did you sound like you were talking underwater with a mouthful of cocksrocks?

You are not Qwinn.

You are hearing cocks now my

friend?

Neither Freud nor the Devil saw that one coming.

This game's spellcasting sounds like it's going to be totally wacky: https://www.othersideentertainment.com/forum/index.php?topic=925.msg15769#msg15769

Runes based on true norse runic system (futhark) and different components for spells, that can alter the spell. This sounds very interesting.

 

[DawnrazorDCLXVI]

Ya, I hope they dig in deeper to real occult like the Persona series did.

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

Well you gents with prototype access are doing a pretty shitty job of giving us video.

The spell system seems quite interesting.

 

[V_K]

What I really like is that the spell system is one of the first things that made it into the game. Makes me hopeful that for once it won't be as half-assed and uninspired as in 99% of RPGs.

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

If you think about their approach of objects having properties that can be manipulated (temperature, buoyancy, wear, etc.) giving spells is probably the easiest way to have those things manipulated and tested.

Someone needs to take a close look at the files to glean what we can about the design.

 

[Infinitron]

Creating spells is actually the easiest thing to do first in a game like this, since it doesn't require elaborate character model animations (like fighter and rogue abilities).

 

[V_K]

Well, good. Doesn't really matter if it's the easiest or the hardest thing to do. What matters is that magic being developed first guarantees that it'll be one of the core mechanics and not an afterthought, like in too many games. RPGs where mage is a distinct playstyle and not a reskinned ranged warrior can be counted on one hand, really, and most of them are more than 20 years old.

 

[DawnrazorDCLXVI]

I'll record something tonight. No puzzles, as I'm figuring them out myself.

 

[DawnrazorDCLXVI]

Footage.

 

[Infinitron]

Uh, nice framerate. >_> Is that due to your capturing software?

 

[Ash]

Very nice. I'm starting to see the LGS style now...through that horrible framerate. Somebody should rectify that with another upload.

 

[Metro]

Footage.

 

[DawnrazorDCLXVI]

It is due to a lot of programs running at once, but mainly due to this being a very old laptop, and in dire need of an upgrade.

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

I feel pity, but not enough to replace your laptop.

 

[Excommunicator]

That's unwatchable. Please try again

 

[V_K]

Reminds me of the way SS2 used to run on my first PC. Had to go through some areas while cloacked in invisibility and staring at the ceiling, otherwise the lag became unbearable. Ah, good times.

 

[Nekot-The-Brave]

Hey guys, I've got a video of my playthough getting all of the bunnies.

It's mostly 30fps with a couple of seconds where it dipped down to 8fps for whatever reason. I know that's a slideshow for some people, but whatever.

I fast-forwarded through some parts that I ended up sucking at.

Watch my prop-surfing skills get put to the test!
