Astrophil Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Just wondering, and probably on behalf of us impatient whippersnappers, does the dev team maybe have a video of gameplay, even if extremely primitive? Especially after viewing the pro-gen forest on Twitter. That was just beautiful. *le tear* And if not, I'm perfectly sure there are reasons ~Astrophil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQ-Nyzaltar Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Hi Astrophil, Indeed, we have a few internal early videos about the gameplay. But, those are not available publicly for several reasons: 1) In the mind of some people, releasing a video (even if you specifically say that it is very early development, in Pre-Alpha or such) it's like saying "this game is ready for reviews and critics, even if the features displayed are unfinished and/or not polished". This is sad, but this is reality. We saw this state of mind quite apparent not later than a few weeks ago, on a pre-alpha video made by another indie studio. All the more reasons to be cautious. While we are sure that releasing early videos would please players who are eager to know and see more about the game, we also want to be sure we are ready before showing anything at all. 2) You saw the forest screenshot published last year and you might think we should be quite advanced now with amazing videos with this kind of forest covering kilometers on a planet. Unfortunately, development isn't that simple. Last year, we did a small procedurally generated forest area on an empty planet. The goal of this experiment was to see to which extent we can push the graphics quality. However, in order to speed up internal testing & QA on gameplay we have ? temporarily ? deactivated many graphics options. Currently all our internal gameplay videos are more technical than focusing on graphics. Showing those now would just confuse new, non-informed players about the graphics quality we?re aiming at. That?s why we don?t want to release any gameplay videos yet. 3) Starting to release videos is generally the phase where the press start to talk about a game. And while it might not appear that way, we're still more or less in "stealth mode", even if we're already open to discussion on many various subjects. We don't want to see the press talking about the game too soon, before we're ready. We haven't launched any real PR campaign yet. All the people who came to this forum are people who found the game by personal research or after a discussion on a social media. In short, in our communication plan, releasing videos means we have reached a specific milestone. Best regards, Nyzaltar. Dreamstar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateris Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 A few height maps or in game screen shots would really be a positive move for the PC gaming community across the planet. Especially now that word is spreading about the game. And games like myself who are Eve whores will support your project and spread the word with actual game media. A small proton of a screen shot is rather an outstanding method to show the world you are here with zero hype UR4 rockz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
