Hi there everyone, I'm after feedback yet again... I want to drop this WIP video onto the Kickstarter pitch as an update later today. It's rough - as I point out in the video... do you think it will get negative perception? Or will it be seen for what it is? Work in Progress? Feedback appreciated!  

A gameplay vid always helps maksw and its not that rough! No, not too shabby at all. :girlsigh: Sound, yes it could do with some sound, even some music perhaps? Also, my goodness that is a heck of a lot of missiles! Yes I like! :girlcrazy:

Looks fine as a wip Only thing I found was rather distracting was the background.

Cheers both @Pinback - the fake stellar backdrop? Ok, I'll look to getting others - it's not the intended look. I'll drop it up as an update! Thanks!

I agree, you are at least showing some progress and probably one of the most important features in a game is combat so showing this even in a rough form gives gamers a possible idea on how the game will be like. I would post it, you can add it to the main page and not have it only be a update?

Cheers D1 - done

Was just looking at your latest combat vid. Looking good so far, but do you think failing shields might glow red rather than white? It doesn't matter I suppose, I guess I was just used to shields in Elite starting out as white, then going to yellow, orange then finally red before they fail. It gave a visual impression of the state of your target's shields which can be useful if your holding back for shield failure for using a hull damaging weapon coup-de-grace.

Cheers Geraldine. There will be visual cues in the final effects - exactly as you say - so you can tell what state they are in. I'll look at blending the colour to red as it gives up for now though  From a "backer" perspective - what would you (and all of SSC) like to see a video showing gameplay-wise? If I can, I'll try to accommodate...
