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.

I hope the fix for falling through the ground works, that was getting annoying. Good job on everything, but the weapon blocking looks like it definitely needs work.

[Jeff]

The file size of the Windows alpha seems a bit low... I am going to check it out to make sure that it is correct.

Should be fixed now!

[MasterMorality]

Personally I think the blood could be darker overall. Maybe it's just my own, but the bunny-blood is still a little too bright at the end, and too light at the start. That said, I haven't played the alpha, so it might just be the video.

Other than that: active weapon block for the win

theres no spark.tga in the patch only download?

I can corroborate this.

Edit: It's also missing from the full installer.

Thanks for the update, I've been hoping for something like this to come out

I just wanted to point out the amazing download rates! I started with the a145 complete download yesterday which only took a few minutes (1.5gb!!).

[Frozencloud]

Was wondering if there is a way to make the characters squirt blood like in the alpha video.

[SamCube]

Fast downloading! First time here, by the way. I really had a lot of good times with Lugaru, and I could not miss this great game. I'll really loved the first background, a little "abstract" in the background really suits the game. And the music it's really cool.

First impressions (probably lots of this things had been already said)
I'm playing in a semi-old iMac with a RadeonX1600. There's a few details that make blurry pixels on the weapons when you attack with them.
It's not still implemented the rabbit kick or the "animal" running? Or you changed controls?
It's possible to make your own levels, but I can see able to save or load them (probably this option is not yet up)
You die a lot faster than in Lugaru! It's seems you tried to add more realism to fighting with weapons. Very cool and hard to play!

Excuse me if I made mistakes (I'm pretty sure of it) in my english, I'm spanish so it's not my mother language.

Thanks for this great game, and to give us the chance to be a part of it!
