wow. What an awesome demo of the navigating system. It's very well explained, but sounds like it takes a bit of getting used to. This is very well considered, and seems like you have put a ton of work into the design and almost everything. Wow...
The sounds are also really awesome. I can't wait to hear more demos.
When the Kickstarter goes alive, I'll donate much more than I has planned. Wow this is going to be awesome. That's what we have waited for.

I really like that people are actually walking around in the game. That could turn into interesting things like avoid being seen, catch the right guy, searching for someone where you don't know where the person is because people are moving around etc. If there are any cutseens, are they then in realtime without like a video playing? I saw that for the first time in Half life 2, which is fantastic. There are still many mainstream games which have cutseens, which is kind of interesting, when realtime cutseens are able to make, which just feels much more natural in my opinion.

do you have boss battels?

Oh, I see. thanks for explaining in post 30.

Hello
Looks like the file had a problem uploading as it runs 6 minutes and abruptly cuts off.  Sounds great so far though, thanks!

Hi.
I can't even download the broken file. I look very much forward to hear this... Not the broken file, but the combat.

Wow... Really awesome batteling system, and very nice explained.
It would be great if you can choose if yu wanna use the sapi voice or just the screenreader for announcing the status after a attack, of course with the consiquence that this will not be in stereo.
I really like the way you can get all the informations in the battle, and you can just take your time to do it. Especially for those where english isn't the first language, many people don't have an idea about the different skills etc. just by reading the names of the skills. Many huge RPG games just assumes you already know what everything means, so I really like that this game is also for those who never have played a RPG game before.
I really love the audio, also in the battles. This is amazing that you even are able to make this... It's fantastic.
I also like the replay feature of a battle at the end. It would be awesome if you could save a battle in a kind of a log, so you could listen to some of your most epic battles later on. You know, some games have either a logbook, notebook, tablet or something where different things are stored on for either remembering or just enjoyment later on in the game.
I don't remember if you have mentioned this before, but who have made this awesome music?
I look so much forward to this game, and I'm sure this game will be one of the best games ever... Keep up the fantastic job.

hi god. sounds is wonderful
and how long will this game,?
thanks

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys! Apologies if I miss a comment or two at the moment, but here are my responses to some:

SLJ - I'm just wondering, why would you prefer to have the in-combat announcements handled by the screen reader instead of SAPI? I want to know if there's anything we hadn't thought of. I'm not sure how easy it'd be to pull this off, though, based on the way the combat sound scripts work.

Regarding the music - I'm composing it, and a friend of mine who's in music production is providing the finished versions. I'm glad you like it, as I'm really proud of the score, personally.

Brad - Yeah, the addition of the in-combat SAPI announcements has really made the battle log less necessary. We'll have to give serious thought as to whether or not we want to make it optional.

There isn't a tutorial, per se, but there are tutorial messages that appear throughout the early portions of the game as you encounter certain scenarios for the first time So there's an easy fight at the beginning of the game, and as that fight starts, you get a tutorial message explaining some basics of combat. The first time one of your quests updates, you get a tutorial message explaining the quest system; the first time you look in a container, you get a tutorial message explaining how containers work. And so on and so forth. We'll also provide detailed documentation on controls and gameplay.

sswwaaiikkee: It took me six hours to play through the main story - but that was with me knowing exactly where to go and what to do, and skipping all the dialogue because I already knew what they were going to say. I didn't explore, I did''t collect gear (which caused problems occasionally cause I wasn't very well-equipped), and I didn't do any of the dozens of side-quests. I expect the main story will take most players no less than 10 hours, and there should be several additional hours of entertainment from the various side quests, and from just exploring the different maps and seeing what you can find.

FabiG94: Glad you're interested. In short, this is a story-driven fantasy RPG, the first project from Out of Sight Games which is made up of me (it'll be my first game) and Ian Reed, of Tactical Battle fame, as well as Drew Becker (our fantastic sound designer). Most of the posts just involve us answering miscellaneous questions about the game, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. We're hoping to release it sometime this year, but the first step is to run a Kickstarter campaign in the interest of raising enough funds to get all of the dialogue in the game fully voice-acted. We're waiting on some contract work from an artist to design a logo for the game, and as soon as he's done, we'll be launching that campaign.

I'm enjoying making these little demos; is there anything specific you all would like to see a new demo of at some point?

Hello
I understand. thanks for your answer.
The game sounds great.
good luck and I hope to read more about this project in the future.
So far I have just a couple of questions.
how will be the style of combat in the game?
the game will be in 2D or 3D? And that movement guidance system and use the game?
greetings and thanks.

can't wait to play this.
I'd buy it. here's  my question. how will items be equipped? will they equip themselves when you get them?, and in the full version, when you pick up an item, will  the game say taken like in the radar demo, or will there be sounds for when you  peck op weapons and such things?

Dan_C: I'm right there with you. Hope the game lives up to your expectations!

FabiG94: The game will be 2-D, technicaly, but from a first-person perspective. In other words, you'll hear sounds in front/behind/to your left and right, but there will be no sense of "up" and "down." I don't really think there's a good way to pull off true 3-D in audio, and that's okay in my opinion. Regarding combat and navigation, check out the two audio demos I've posted (posts #123 and #138)

Grryfindor: Thanks so much - glad to hear you're excited. Feel free to pass along suggestions in the thread, or via email - even if they don't get incorporated into this game, it's always good to hear ideas as we plan future projects.

Naruto: There's an equip menu that you'll use to decide what gear your units have equipped. I may do a demo of that at some point - not sure. As for whether it says "Taken" or actually plays a pickup sound - I can't answer for sure. We would like to incorporate "pickup sounds" for all types of items, but it's very low on our priority list. In other words, if Drew finishes everything else he needs to do, and still has time to add in pickup sounds, we'd like to - but if we don't get around to it, we're okay leaving it with the "Taken" announcement.

Assault: I definitely get where you're coming from on the action-adventure front, and you'll be happy to know that, while we're just in the planning stages for our second game, we're leaning very strongly toward real-time combat. Regarding mana and stamina announcements - the reason we're reluctant to leave in the exact numbers is that it tilts combat a little bit toward a direction we didn't particularly want. We found in testing that if we could track enemy stats specifically, we wound up doing too much math, figuring, "Okay, if I use this skill, he'll have however many points left, but if I do that skill twice, I know he'll have however many left..." I think we want to give players the ability to make an educated guess, but not the ability to reduce everything to pure numbers. It's simply an aesthetic choice, and I can understand how you might prefer it the other way. You will have access to the exact numbers for friendly units, just to clarify - it's only enemies that we're currently planning to keep as general announcements.

Guys, I am so grateful for all the positive feedback. It's really encouraging for us and helps keep us motivated to make this game as good as we can.
