A "leaked build" is when John and I grab the latest SVN build and package it up for you guys. It has a ton of known bugs, so don't worry if it doesn't work for you. It is not condoned by David and Aubrey but we want to keep you guys in the loop and give you stuff to play with regularly!

If you find any bugs, please email a full description along with your system specs to [email protected]. We are testing out a new bug system.

*NOTE* Please remember that these are unofficial alphas and they do not represent a finished product. They are not even polished builds, just straight up raw development dumps not intended for public consumption.

To download the alpha, use one of these links:

Win: Download
S3 fallback BitTorrent - please seed
MD5 = c27afafaf2a20ca748bc7694393cbe58

Mac: Download
S3 fallback BitTorrent - please seed
MD5 = dd41d17ca80761b30ece1411d09b90e3

Please let me know how the new test server performs and where you're located.

I am still waiting that you guys add those missing texture and obj files that i asked in alpha 141 here is the link viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12147#p136624
EDIT: there is a obj file missing also in data/models/gear/standard.bucker.obj

Thanx for the great weapon combat

[Rushakoff]

The combat is starting to prove more fun than any game i have ever played before as lugaru proved to be back when it first came out. Keep up the great work! I love what has been made so far

I mentioned this on the blog page, but it is worth mentioning twice: This looks like the best parts of 2D fighting defense systems (esp. Melty Blood (dodge, block-into-attack) and Guilty Gear(throw break)) properly incorporated in a 3D system. Well done.

Pick up weapon, delete the weapon, invisible undroppable spear. Interesting effects if you pick up another weapon

This is probably a nooby question, but Will the Torrent form Last week have changed to reflect this weeks changes, because I went to start the Torrent earlier today, but Bittorrent replied that It had been edited by an outside program, So Should I start the torrent, or Should I delete it and get the torrent for this week?

Cheers

Oh god, I can't stop playing this build.

[Picasso11]

Wooh. I don't really post a lot here, but this time I do an exception because this build seems to rox my rabbit.

[Carlz0r]

Nice build. I love the new combat features. Kinda think that maybe the dodging should require you to be holding down another button like right-mouse or something, though. it's too easy to accidentally turn away from your enemy when you're trying to dodge, and simply got the timing wrong.

I don't know, play with it a little, and see what feels right.
