New Update Out! [Combat description]

[Thomek]

We'll we got criticized for cutting too much in the KS vid. Wanted to make it real and true..

The upper left vid during dueling is partly there because mp clients couldnt turn off server messages that it's hiding..

So yeah.. goal wasn't "exiting" but just to show and explain.

Also, you don't know about effort.
For this it took duelers and us couple of days to get everything working smoothly, just to record it. Add that pm's, organization, switching of duelers etc. Then Ozin set up the arena in a more interesting location, then Mark did a few version of the recording, while I'm re-editing and cleaning sound etc. Back and forth at least 4-5 times. Then I spend some hours making the mouse-animation. Cleaning the sound one final time..

Sometimes your attitude pisses me off a little. All this is result of hard work, for no monetary payoff. Just bases on a loose dream of making an awesome game, and having the chance to not sit lonely at every corner of the world, sending files back and forth..  Maybe I'm a crap filmmaker or whatever, but anyone here can raise their hands and do it better. Seriously, if anyone wants to help make videos for the KS and be 100% dedicated about it, PM me.

What's not shown in the duel? There's feints in it, shown both with slow-mo and normally, plus it's explained in the actual text on KS and the YouTube description (+ audio, and in a way so that normal people can understand it). I quoted Wikipedia on feints in the description. That was good enough, at least that's what I felt. Yes feints could have been used more in the duel, sure, but I never thought anything was really missing from the duel except maybe more use of the various angles.
 
Also Thomek is just tired (and stressed excuse him), but yeah there was actually a lot of effort put into making this not a bland video, and as I explain in the vid we'll make more to talk about everything in full, I imagine like 5 minutes+ of talking and explaining everything.

We though can't make everything perfect, we're not a studio with tons of resources, we can't modify every thing we say and do to perfection, literally all of us are doing this (and have done) for 0 monetary gain so far while trying to manage our jobs on the side (which is pretty damn tough and very stressful, especially these days, so sorry in advance if anyone comes off as a bit salty!). We do screen-test with a small group, some from the community and others from outside who never played these types of games. I'll add a few more prying eyes for the next videos, see if we can cover everyone's concerns properly in the future.

#nohate pls :<

Soz Thomek, I did explicitly say "put a lot into making it exciting", not "put a lot into it". I know you guys are working yourselves into the grave and it must be very stressful and also cloud your vision somewhat.

On the other hand, the whole idea of these videos is to get people excited about the game so that they'll back it and tell their friends. With that in mind, I don't think it makes sense to take a documentary approach. I'm obviously not calling you incapable, I just don't think this video hit the mark in that respect.

Best update so far, everything looked great!

[Grumbs]

Don't mind me. I didn't realise it was semi choreographed. I think if Tor and Chase were genuinely trying to kill each other that might make the duel more intense, but I realise the need to have structure so you can explain stuff. I was probably thinking about how a Tor vs Chase duel would look in cRPG and there would be more going on than in the duel here. I did miss a couple feints

Anyway good job guys I only want whats best for the game. I don't think it needs to be over edited or shot to make it more intense either, was more the gameplay I was interested in. The way it was shot was fine to me
