Below - The Bear and Badger

Also, the game glitched to fuck just now, something to do with the lighting I think. Looked like a smashed screen. Then I died and it crashed, so it seems like a good time for a break.

I can't be broken like this, and would rather know either way before playing it

There's a lot of spoilers here. I need one simple question answered. I have a lot of fucking hope put in this game. I saw it in 2013 and thought it looked like a reg game. I saw it last e3 and thought it looked like a reg game. Is it good?

That's what I needed. Cheers

On the map, what’s the flashing red dot, is that just where you died ?

It is.

You’ve played a fair bit this afternoon then.

Installing now! I'm really excited.

The music is amazing.

So...

Was just about to buy it (PC) and saw - right on time - that they've changed the OS requirements to Windows 8 and up.

Not leaving Windows 7 for this.

Edit: Seems they're working on fixing it. Good.

Spending 25 diamondy glow things gives you a teleport point? Otherwise sitting at camp fires merely gives you a point to craft? Does it save only at the recent camp fire? Only at 2 but trying to figure it all...or ANYTHING out.

I’m completely stumped, Paul ???

Got 2 doors, I can’t go in and a entrance covered in thorns or something that I can’t light or cut - any subtle clues Paul?

Spoiler:

This is going to be a nightmare thread for spoilers. Also Vere has me shitting bricks in case I have to start over again. How does it save? Every floor?

Every floor has a key to the door you're meant to take, but you can try using the lantern by holding it down and cool things can happen.

The thorns I've seen but not got past yet, they reek of shortcut to me though so I'd guess you break through from the other side. Leave them for now.

So this is procedurally generated yes?

Hahaha, I still have no idea but think it saves at the start of every new room?

No

Oh. I thought it was.

Paul the sparky

I'm not sure how much the map changes on death. Not much, if I can't really notice it.

I'm sure I read them say that some of it was procedurally generated.

Dark Soldier

Was looking forward to this. It really, really isn't for me. Hunger/cold meters, a shit ton of crafting.

Atmosphere and the look of the whole thing is fantastic but nah huge personal let down.

Curtis

I played an hour earlier, and i might concur with DS.

It was not what i was expecting. But maybe thats the problem - its been dark for so long and based on the developers own admissions, its changed drastically since that trailer way-back-when.

I need to give it more time, but when you have to turn off all the lights, and sit face-to-screen on a 40" TV just to see whats going on, that in itself is off-putting. I have perfect vision, but everything is soooooooooooooooo dark and soooooo small, its distracting me from the wonderful sound design and atmosphere they are trying to create.

That's a selling point in itself.

That's me fucked then.

Curtis

I know what they're going for with the camera being pulled soooooooo far back, but imo its too far removed. And that removes you from being involved with the tiny sprite you're navigating through this adventure.

Silke

Hopefully that aspect will work slightly better on PC; here I am sitting face-to-screen with my 27" monitor.

Curtis

It won't. The character is teeny. If it was Link size from NES or SNES days that'd be fine. I don't actually know if its a human or a mouse.

FranticPea

This is wonderful.

Paul the sparky

It can be pretty fucking disheartening too.

Kernowgaz

When you before you get your corpse, can you collect your items from there and your light thing?

pantyfire

Does anyone know what the little stone fires does except just light up a small area for a short time? They seem to just burn out after a few minutes. Are they a checkpoint or anything?
