I'd say it depends on the story. Agreed. Shops could lead to potential balance issues however: say you blow too much cash early on and end up in an un-winnable situation :? Well, when I was thinking about shops it could as well easily be selling the weapons for free. Say you spend fictional cash an...

Advantage of having been here for ages: I can just quote previous posts As it happens, 58% of pre-orders voted in favour of accumulating weapons over the course of the game

I think we'll have to agree to agree Roland

Now that I've said my piece, I'm more than happy to agree to disagree Xorath

I have to find you guys that podcast from ages ago... here we go :) While you're listening to that: you might have noticed from damn gory the game is becoming these past few updates. There's a reason for this, as you'll hear near the end. Back then David said wanted to show the impacts of violence, ...

Aerial Combat Aimed Jump Kicking - Doesn't really fit with the spirit Overgrowth. This sort of thing would be more for a Devil May Cry , over-the-top spectacular sort of fight, not than the raw grittiness David is aiming for. Daggers for parkour - I see you've played Two Thrones :wink: Breakable Ph...

I posted a TLDR post a while back about the dangers of mapping an attack and a defensive move to the same button. I would heartily recommend moving away from this element of Lugaru's system.

Our team won the competition and the check was split evenly 7 ways. Thing is, I did 100% of the programming; sat there grinding the whole 48...

Hmm... Lugaru balanced the soccer kick by only letting you do it once (or twice if you're quick) on each enemy. But an artificial constraint needn't be used: perhaps the player could be dissuaded from using cheap tricks by some other means? It would be interesting to perhaps introduce some kind of &...

Lugaru did have a few fault though. For instance, I'd like much to see better weapon combat. Speaking of which: people who've had a chance to play the alpha: how does the combat feel, compared to Lugaru?
