That probe is probably going to be the most terrifying thing in the game. But the fact that the entire thing is physics based is impressive.
Have to agree probably one of the most advanced game's of this year and man really good games have been coming out more often and they are good
but think how your mic is going to kill you welp good luck to people who make's videos in this game lol
Even though this was not shown in the movie, what happens if the probe spots you?
Yeah, they went all out and did so much good yo! The programming must have been difficult, but man I respect the dedication!
@@supercoolmunkee Probably grabs you and pull you into the ship or pod.
@@supercoolmunkee it'll likely tell the tripod of your presence and send down the aliens piloting it or the tripod waits outside for ya to pop out
the gunfire stopping immediately after the tripod fires its heatrays is just terrifying
Right after I read this I got to hear what you were talking about and I was like OH GOD IT IS
@@tobenamed610 time stamp ?
@@jummyran found it, about 8:45
@@rycskn thanks 🙏
When tripod have forsefeild there's an idea on how to destroy forsefeild use the laser beam and point it on tripods head shot it and keep shooting untill the forsefeild is gone and now tripod is now dead
The tripod, being able to hear you thru the microphone, is going to be the most terrifying thing since alien isolation. imagine hiding from the tripod, it passes you not noticing you and you farting irl and the tripod turns around and honks
Indeed
I remember in a stream he did last September, he saw an Uber pods walking away from his cabin and he called it out and it immediately stopped on it's track and turned around. What followed was about 3 minutes of terror. Tripods circling the cabin, horns sounding, etc. Turned out there were 2 Ubers, an assault pod, and a harvester further away. Plus one more Uber behind a barn. The fact that several tripods can respond from you even just accidentally farting next to one is probably the scariest thing with these death machines.
Or a ranting and raving Tim Robbins in your basement. Can’t wait to play this.
@@OPproductions22 Lol Yea!
Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Honestly, I believe in a monster game like this, a great way to induce fear is to not encounter them for maybe a full day or 2. 2 days go by with nothing, you're gonna get complacent. Feel safe. Then when you all of a sudden hear the roar and see it in the distance. The feeling of fear in that moment would be much greater than if they were around the whole time.
That would be very scary but the game is by chance. If you get lucky you might not run into one for a while or you could instantly be running from one
Imagine after a day or so of nothing happening, you go around a corner and there's a probe staring at you in the face.
@@Pumpkin525 That's precisely the kind of moment I think is much more tense than when the monster in question hovers around the whole game.
@@arthasmenethil9957 I guess that's the role the Uberpod is meant to fill
5:17 aw bro
This has to be about the best execution of a sci fi horror game that I've ever seen that doesn't rely on incessant jumpscares or copious amounts of gore to be effective.
What's wrong with copious amounts of gore?
@@nizitamaruvaka2294 You mistake my statement as a dislike of a good jumpscare or extravagant gore. I've been a horror fan practically since I could walk back when 8 track players were the latest fad. The key words here are 'incessant' and 'copious' where it teeters beyond being scary and just ends up being campy. All the most effective horror movies use atmosphere and tension between these moments. Same can be said with video game horror, which is why Silent Hill and the OG Resident Evil stand out.
@@Dilligff I get you, I was just being a smartass.
I've always been a big fan of over the top gore, but I also love a good horror/suspense movie or game as well.
@@nizitamaruvaka2294 I honestly feel the two can coexist, a good example being Carpenter's The Thing. You get some of the most revolting and evolutionary practical effects between quieter moments of pure tension and paranoia. It's a balance few directors can properly achieve, and the same goes for games as well.
@@Dilligff I need to watch The Thing again. It's been a few decades.
I really hope big youtubers play this game so it gets way more popular because honestly, it deserves it.
I agree and I hope so as well.
Do i count as big? war of the world stuff always does good btw
I’m just worried it will cause another yandere dev issue if that happens
@@thetrueMercergaming You have < 2k subs. I wouldn't consider you "big" I have nearly 6.4k and I don't even consider myself big.
the joy of the popularity wouldnt last long though. Soon thousands of clickbait vids would spark and soon if you were to search up the game the only thing you would see is stupid clickbait
A possible suggestion for an update would be that when your scavenging around, when you check houses or a car, is that there is a small possibility that the car/house alarm will go off (alerting the tripods) and you have to immediately run from the noise it’s making
The only way to get the car systems back up after the EMP storm is to change the solenoids so theres very few working cars in the entire world at the time of the invasion because almost no one in the world knows this
-
no
@Clockwork Lightning iiokkjuybjohk😊
Brilliant
That's actually a good update for the game. When the car alarm is going off then that brings the tripods attention to the sound and go the card. I do hope that Raf is listening to his comments and actually working on those ideas.
The rocks sliding off at 4:35 was a fantastic touch
It’s always the little things that are the most fascinating
I love how the sounds of the tripods stomping is delayed depending on the distance between you and the tripod.
Loving the new sound traveling system.
I think a lot of games miss this small detail.
Sound working realistically is always awesome
Actually, sounds being that loud that they could be heard from that far away are somewhat out of the normal experience (with thunderstorms being the exception), so it might be even immersion breaking sometimes. I think it's a valid creative decision sometimes to make sound travel at instantaneous velocity.
@@formdusktilldeath 😒
@@SLIMECORE_TV you seem to disagree, I would love to hear you elaborate on that a bit more than just a emoji.
@@formdusktilldeath well unfortunately for you this is the RUclips comment section not everyone wants to write an essay over sound in an indie game
The thought of hiding from a probe at night inside a house while it snakes around it just absolutely terrifying. I can't wait to play this.
Atleast U get gun and trying to go to the tripods cab with alien try killing U can control tripod and kill another tripod
When woild it come out excatly
@@hhhh-cx1mb true
@@Heisei_Edits732 sorry I don't think he speaks gibberish
Did you see the newer video from the perspective of a tripod player? It shows their ene of using the probe
Man I've wanted a game like this my whole life. I remember as a kid typing in war of the worlds game and only finding gmod stuff
Same here bro I remember looking it up and finding a bunch of mods. This is a childhood dream come true!
@@darthcalculus6002 fr, kid versions of us are rejoicing right now
@@jxmint4458 ngl the world would be a shittier place without gmod
@@circleinforthecube5170 good point, there is a lot you can do with it tbf
Gmod SCARY WAR OF THE WORLDS Tripod Mod! (Garry's Mod)
Love the tiny detail of the grass/trees swaying *towards* the storm
the fact that a giant tripod can suddenly go silent (I think in the movie the one that comes from the mountains when they're boarding the ship does this) and you don't hear anything but distant footsteps is terrifying
Yeah most of the people didn't even notice it until it sounded its horn.
@@vaultboy4710 actually its believed the horn is used to signal other tripods to the area
@@luccyvr Yeah I believe the same thing.
@@luccyvr WOW nooooo wayy dude like I never knew that! 😐
@@acatandacat8044 why'd you have to be negative?
Just imagine the potential it has for VR experience
Indeed, I am imagining freaking out at the sound of a tripod horn in my own living room xd
IE- Getting so into the game you’re trying to place items on tables that aren’t really there.
Imagine getting grabbed by a tripod and being flailed around. That would sickening but awesome to experience.
Yeah, fun and all until you bump your headset, the mic picks it up, and a probe steals your insides
it has plans for basic vr support
Wait VR?
Every update just gives me goosebumps.
The passion for the subject matter is obvious.
The attention to detail is obvious.
The effort to achieve impressive technical feats is obvious.
Clever design decisions are obvious.
Make no mistake, you are 'in the zone' here - keep at it - *_you are on to something_* , and it will be very big if you just persist with this project.
Absolutely wonderful work so far.
not gonna lie, i sometimes dream this kind of scenario, and i always loved it
me too
always dreaming of some massive thing searching and chasing me. sometimes goofy stuff like a T rex
I always had dreams and nightmares about this particular scenario... Even last night I had one.
Damn that tripod is gonna murder us all.
Let's stare at it!
So it's not only me who dreams this haha! Saw this movie when I was 5, watched it multiple times and I still get goosebumps of it, even though it's not a very scary horror movie. I actually find Stephen King's 'It' funnier and happier becasue the clowns remind me of some local guys (funny lads, dw), but this movie is somehow still something else for me. I don't know why I like to dream about the tripods though. Maybe it's a good hide&seek game in my dreams, idk, but I can "exit" the dreams when I get nervous so it's never really a nightmare.
Small group of game developers can do better game than big studios, really shows passion behind this project. Just impressive !
Well it probably helps that indie developers can work at their own Pace where as developers for big companies are rushed by their higher ups too meet a deadline and also are forced to add things that the gaming community clearly doesn’t want *cough* micro transactions *cough*.
That's how most business is. Privately owned companies generally provide better products and service. For instance, Bosch makes amazing tools, auto parts and appliances because they don't have to maximize profit for investors. I've noticed this trend after so many years.
@@steakinbacon8593 the large corporate developers also hire half their employees based on diversity quotas, watch videos about teams like 343, paradox and Bethesda in the early 2000s VS post 2010s. Massive shift in the demographic of employees
This isn't 'doing better', so far this is just 'snapshots' of a game.
Plenty of small groups term to be failures or literal scams… don’t set so high standards it only hurts the community.
This gameplay perfectly captures the visceral fear and nightmare I had after watching this film as a kid.
Same.
There is something that is much more scary than a jumpscare, a monster, a murderer, or a paranormal being.
And it is the sensation of being insignificant.
This game captures that feeling perfectly.
VERY GOOD
GOD
This game also has a great sense of DREAD
Here’s a suggestion for the military : I think it would look really cool if the Apache helicopters flew in formation when attacking the tripods and all fires in unison or at least semi unison just like in the movie, personally I think it would make for quite the spectacle.
Maybe adding visible trails for the missiles would also be a nice touch.
Genuinely haven't smiled this much while watching a video in a long time, this is everything I've wanted since I was a kid and the amount of joy the rising tripod sequence gave me is immeasurable
Another happy landing
Yes, and the probe coding could not have been easy, big, snaking thing manouvering through the house, totally admirable!
General Kenobi?
I felt the EXACT same!
So I see even a Jedi is not without the love of dark and twisted things. Hypocrites! LOL
The love for the project shows. I don't expect it to be as fleshed out as it is but for a small team the sound design is quite amazing and creates a unique amazing atmosphere true to the films. This is clearly a passion project that will be appreciated by many. I don't expect perfection from this game but would greatly enjoy playing it.
Keep up the great work and take your time, the updates are always great.
There is no team. It is one guy and his name is Raf.
@@ZIpp07342 except he wrote right in the video "our sound designer" so clearly they've expanded
@@etanb1 yes he does have some other people working on certain things. However I work with raf and I’m telling you this he’s a lone indie dev
@@ZIpp07342 I gotchu, and I will say his work is very impressive, I said in another comment he seems to get more done in a day than entire companies manage in a span of months
@@etanb1 that’s very true, shows those companies often have no passion for their products
The probe has to be the most scariest part of this game. And since it's completely physics based hiding from this will be difficult. This is a nightmare in the making.
I hope this game reaches it's highest potential. I really can't stress enough how many times I've watched this movie as a kid.
Incredible, I've waited a decade for a really good game on war of the worlds, and someone finally creating the horrific alienating world it brings!
You and me both I’ve been hooked on everything war of the worlds since watching the 2005 Spielberg version when I was a kid, the world building the semi biomechanical tripods I love it all,the books the tv series the 1950s movie all amazing but never been made into a modern game… until now
@@jaykaygxd8497 i prefer old 1952 War of the world.
MASSIVE compliments to the sound designer, oh my GOD. My jaw dropped on multiple occasions.
18:25 I just noticed that if you look near the right to the fence you can see a Martian slowly crawling.
The way they can hear you through the microphone is amazing now you have a reason to acts like the game can hear you
20:04 is exactly what I wanted this to be like. I think that it should hold you against the tripod's central eye (as if its examining you) before putting you in the cage. You'd feel so helpless this machine blinds you with it's light and all you can hear is that mechanical heartbeat they have, but it's louder and clearer than ever.
Nice idea❤
Agreed, sounds amazing, double down on that "you're in the worst possible trouble you could be in" animation and it's golden.
Ghjgd
They don't need to examine you, you're just cattle being harvested.
I don't look at every grape in awe when I work in my vineyard lol
@@KaptifLaDistillerie They SHOULD examine you because it ads to the "you're fucked" feeling getting abducted in this game has. It would also make you wonder what the aliens could possibly be thinking whilst they observe you.
When Racheal gets captured the tripod does what I describe.
I absolutely loved this. some things to note:
1. The Bwaaaaam needs to be louder, deeper, overwhelming in a way.
2. would love to see the tripods with people inside of the cages.
3. The Tripods seem juuuust a little too slow
4. This is amazing and i cant wait to see more!
2. has been implemented
3. when you're being chased, you have limited stamina, and the tripods don't, so even if you're faster than the tripods, they are gonna catch up to you eventually
and besides, you aren't actually much faster than the tripods, it's their size and distance that makes them seem slow
@@blacksmithrelevant7552 (not sarcasm) the tripods actually start to sprint if they see you if you didn't know that lol
@@potatopablo yeah i know
Bwaaaaaaaam!
Every time I come back to see the progress, damn it's impressive. The part where they can hear the player through the mic? Like oh be careful speaking haha. Love it
Yea, i will always troll them when they gets far way xD
@Laguito7517 then they will turn their head around, staring at you and saying in their language:
The fu## you said?
The Tripod horn in the backround when the probe is probing gave me chills down my spine this game gets a 1000/1000
I think you mean 1000/10
It'd be cool if your sleep/energy bar would raise when Tripods are nearby, like adrenaline, and once you're finally safe it'll begin to drop at a faster rate for a couple seconds since the adrenaline is wearing off
Edit: 17:16 the amount of panic I felt when the game just casually says "Tripods can enter a stealth/sneak mode" oh no.
Oh dear god-
I didn't even noticed that holy god
@@hunorcselovszky5906 YEAH AND IM TERRIFIED LMAO
not just that, you clearly hear it turns sneak mode on, all the usual sounds just cut out to only the distant soft stomping... it creeps the shit out of me, knowing where the tripods is, but even more the ones that you dont know about.....
Haha, that's a joke right? Wait what now they can't go stealth mode? Oh- oh god no.
I love the idea of hiding at night from a probe, and it finds other hiding people in the house next to you and you just hear it all. This is going to be such a fantastic VR game.
All you hear is a guy screaming “Not my blood! Not my blood!”
I feel like a vr mmo would go well with this series
I love that thought, who knew WotW would make such a great horror and thriller based game
@Demon Emerson yes it is. Stop
Its not VR and the dev who constantly abondons game like EmergeNYC wont include it.
I’m hoping to see some sort of impact whenever the tripods take a step, everything looks incredible besides that. just feel like it would help make their size much more terrifying when you add some debris and maybe a small crater wherever they take a step
My anxiety spikes tenfold every time you get as close as possible to them and i love it, super excited for this game!!!
No matter how much I tell myself it's a survival game
I still have a huge urge of wanting to fight back
You seriously nailed it with making these things horrifying seemingly unbeatable mechanical monstrosities
You sound like that idiotic Tom Cruise's son
Think I'll probably just go to fight back😂
Now that there are added aliens, I think there probably could be some methods of deterring or harming them. Same with the probe, like boarding up a door to prolong their breaking in time.
To be fair the probe looks so whackable
You can get guns
Yes, the legend is back at it again with another video showcase of remarkable progress, improvements and just all-around grand scale of gameplay as always, even the thumbnail was scary enough as it is. I will gladly wait for this game no matter how long it takes and may even consider getting a Steam Deck for it upon its release. this continues to deserve all the support. Keep at it Raf, I know this will be a big success when the release day comes, and please take all the time you need.
this game is awesome, war of the worlds has always been my favorite alien movie simply due to how terrifying the tripods are in the film, i used to have nightmares abt them as a kid and seeing someone make a game about it is so cool keep it up you've got something special 👏
Observing the battle (well... massacre) from the windows at night was so damn atmospheric
its crazy how much progress you make with each video
The sign of a great game developer. Always improving. Always perfecting.
@@ReveredDead absolutely agree
You can see more of it on the Discord channel
The community has spoken... 100% approval!
I could just imagine IGP and Icy screaming while the tripods wreck havoc. The shock of their faces when the probes come in lol.
This is by far the scariest game Ive ever seen. It’s giving me so many chills just watching the video
Even though the movies plot was hit or miss, there was always something so brilliant about the tripod scenes and the absolute dread and fear they brought.
5:17 is when you know its about to get serious!!!! i want this game to happen!!!!
Yeah that siren is a literal flight or fight response, but I choose getting the heck outta there
Its Happening boy,but it’s still not finished yet!
the aliens chasing you honestly scares the shit outta me! I can't wait to play this
19:19 God damn the uberpod is such an awesome sound
Suggestion: Have the screams of a tripod's victims be clearly audible as they're walking. I feel like the sound of the giant metal stomping combined with the agonizing and terrified screams of people would be insanely terrifying to hear (especially when they're in stealth mode).
(if you couldn't already tell, this is inspired by NOPE)
Nah, looping screams would probably take away from the experience and immersion when you notice the same scream sound
@@thecarsul just record about 40 to 60 different screams and make it cycle through them randomly whenever a scream is played
Have them also fade in and out so they aren't always heard. Like person is pressing on the edge of their "cages" when you can hear them. Desperate for help and escape.
@@thecarsul I've noticed a scream loop in the movie
@@diapollockal8962 yep
Suggestion: Aliens could have different behavior patterns for different situations in order to respond to players behavior. If player is armed, they would not be that aggressive and would avoid him or go to the nearest tripod around. If player manages to kill some aliens, they would appear to move in groups often. And getting close to the end, they might become neutral and avoid contact, or didn't fight back since they got corona. Also, that would be cool if probe also got some interaction, like stopping for a minute to study painting of humans or other stuff in house. That might help players to plan around environment, or even move objects like painting, so player would control probe path in a little or win time.
HAHAHA got corona!!
aliens becoming neutral or trying to avoid the player because of their disease is such a cool idea
You know, I agree, that would be a pretty cool thing to add. Being able to interact and change the probes searching path to buy time is not a bad idea. Even the behavior of the aliens. I wouldn't agree they wouldn't interact with you but be more cautious knowing you have a deadly weapon. I have a feeling we are watching a masterpiece being developed.
Corona....? *facepalm*
Sounds awesome!
If you get the sound timed with each lightning bolt that would get to a next level of scary. Amazing work so far. Really love watching the progress
I can't imagine how much fun this game is gonna be!
actually amazing man the sounds are so immersive like the horn and then distant screams
I'm missing the echoes of these lightning strikes, in such a open scenery, I think they would made a huge difference in immersion
Me too.
In the movie echoes werent there either.
Its not lightning, its raybeams they are transporting pilots to the tripods.
@@michaelross1452 danggit. Was going to say the same thing.
Bro I'm so excited for this game, I love how much you clearly care about this game and can't wait for early access!
The ending is soo good like it’s my favorite part❤ I like to rewind it back over and over again😂
The wind moving toward the storm I love that detail
Or as Tom says in the movie "tord the storm" lol
I always found the concept of a game where an absolutely megalithic monster is either constantly following/hunting you and all you can really do is keep moving really awesome
This game looks amazing! You guys are doing a great job. I can't wait to see the finished product.
10:06 The tripod up front be like “we’re already late im not waiting for you.”
This is going to be SO good when it comes out, they're literally trying to recreate the horror in the movie and it's working so well
Making a childhood dream come true with this game
4:56 the tripod just looks at you like that? he about too cause chaos
The pathfinding on that probe is seriously impressive, keep up the good work
20:04 HOLY SHIT. This one reminds me of the scene where Rachel was taken away. Man I'm getting goosebumps
And that horn so loud
RACHEL RACHEL TALK TO ME BABY RAAACHHHELLL!….
Alien must be control the Machine
10:54 that tree said "NOPE".
The sound effects are truly amazing, some of the best I've heard. Now this is a game I would spend money on immediately
Damn I genuinely cannot wait, Good work.
I loved War of the Worlds the first time I listened to the story. Read the book. Watched the movies. Such a terrifyingly amazing concept. And to see, one of the best adaptations of the story, being made into a video game! I live every day waiting to see more updates.
Imagine listening to the original radio cast and not knowing it was fake.
The sound design in this is superb. The bass from the probe and the tripods rising had my entire basement rumbling. Even down to the crickets and cicadas in the ambience, it's all very well done. You can't identify any loops in the tracks or redundancy, and the sounds of the aliens themselves is pure terror.
this is incredibly well done. Kudos! cant wait to see it in steam!
this game looks so AMAZING every time yall update us, the graphics and gameplay improve tenfold every time. Y'all doing some amazing work. keep it up
I don’t think I’ve honestly been this excited for a game release in forever
Calm down, you know how some of these things end up
Dude this is honestly the scariest survival game coming out any time soon. Just the pure fear of those machines slowly stomping in your direction has scared the shit out of me ever since I watched the movie as a kid. Keep up the amazing work developers!
Honestly happy I came across this video on my feed. Can't wait to join in on the early access and for me the deep bass horn is what instills fear for me so David Baggett did an amazing job with the sounds.
This is sick!!! The alien part is quite scary and the red weed looks so much better. Love the ambience of the game, truly this is going to be the best War of the Worlds game, you are AMAZING!!!
It’s the only war of the worlds game lol besides the cheesy movie game they did on pc after the movie released years ago but this is spot on! If your a war of the worlds fan this is the game for you I can’t wait for this to release I’m assuming it’ll only be on steam not console or anything
@@megaboomboompow123 I think there are a few War of the Worlds games, but this is the only one of its kind, like with this high level of quality.
@@MrQM2 Dark skies is the only other game that compares to anything like war of the worlds but isn’t war of the worlds it’s a completely different spin off and yes this is a true War of the worlds game almost identical to the 2005 movie so it is a one of a kind type game
@@megaboomboompow123 Here there are other mentions if I rememeber correctly, saw this a while ago: ruclips.net/video/1rhMhsUIzQ4/видео.html ...For what I heard, Grey Skies isn't a very good game anyway, lol, so I never tried it.
@@MrQM2 yeah bro these are all like 20+ years old I don’t even think that counts😅 we’re talking about a game that compares to this one not 2d graphic animation that came out in 1999 and yeah dark skies was a boring flop
The probe should be able to find other entries either that be through a hole in the roof or an opened window. Having it more of an unexpected visitor.
incredible job!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!, I know there's still a lot to improve, but as the game is going, IT LOOKS EXTREMELY PROMISING, I hope everything goes well and you keep working to make it look much better than it already does, congratulations
That drawn-out moment of silence before the horn sounds is SO FUCKIN COOL
5:03 I love how the tripod observes it’s surroundings.. then boom, EXTERMINATES EVERYONE
great work man
This is freakin AMAZING!!! The sound is 💯🔥🔥🔥
Id like to see military check points and civilian holdouts. I'd also like to see 1st responders come to aid at the beginning. Beginning able to choose a few classes at the beginning like being a police officer, soldier, hunter, paramedic, farmer, ect and they all start you off at different locations and different equipment
6:30 so now i know that this game will be a lot scarier, the sound design from the Tripod in the distance send chills trough my body omg
This is honestly so cool! Them horns scared me as a kid now I'm terrified again thanks 😂
I had a dream a long time ago where we got invaded by aliens, and they used a weapons device to "zap" your soul out of your chest. The sensation felt like a very sudden shock. Like entering a cold shower, but only from your abdomen, and then lights out. The tripod reminds me so much of that device they used in my dream lol.
i have been waiting for this moment!"
For all my life!!! Oh lord!!!
I'm so blown away by how good that probe is. Extreme dedication and skill!
War of the Worlds (2005) is one of the best movies ever made. This game captures the greatness of that movie. Fantastic work!
17:40 When i seen it approaching i thought "How cool would it be if the Tripod had the ability to intimidate a player into running out from their hiding spot" and then 7 seconds later the Foot just landed in front of the player and I thought "Yea that would do it". Very impressive mechanics
This game is just amazing!! 👽
damn this is coming along nicely!
I really like the lightning effects, as it really seems just not right to be lightning, with the sounds being spot on. Keep up the good work!
I always imagined the aliens as being physically weak as they would be so used of their advanced tech to do all the fighting for them and that if they were face to face with humans, they'd run away in fear like cowards straight back to their ship and then attack humans with it.
Like in the 1953 movie
Yes
Bro forgot the whole movies and tv shows that created this…
Awesome update!
I love what you've done with the day lighting. It's a huge improvement, and very easy to look at. Environmental stuff looks incredibly improved across the board, in particular the new storm effects, as well as the new implementation of the blood mist--very close to the film. I also *adore* the revamped tripod emergence sequence (and I love that you included the dirt shaking loose upon its first roar).
I think if you're intending to closely match the film aesthetic, the nighttime scenes could be a little less colorful--in the film nighttime scenes are very black/gray, with more subtle cold blues being prominent.
The custom sounds for the probe are interesting, though I think it could be improved. The one in the film seems to have two overlaid humming effects--one is a high-frequency, constant buzz, and the other is a buzz that raises in tone/volume when the probe moves. The custom sound is a little flat and harsh on the ears in its current state (the lower frequency of the buzz gives it a bit of bass), so a layered effect could make it more appealing.
Also, I might be nitpicking, but the probe seems almost... too skinny? It seemed a lot thicker in the film. It could just be a trick of perspective though so I'm not sure.
Overall a very exciting update! The environments get better and better with every update, and the tripods are getting terrifyingly lifelike. I can't wait to get my hands on this.
Omg im in love with this game, im rewatching this video for the second time
Every time you upload a new preview I'm blown away.
The lightning storm still needs a bit of work IMO, but the game has come such a long way, I am so excited to see the final product!
Also, the moment the tripod climbs out of the ground, and it's warming up, it gave me CHILLS!
I hope the game will add a follower/companion mechanic in the future where you find other survivors and help each other, join you, help you to collect items, when you are in a refuge he can leave alone and come back with supplies. Anyway, have your group of survivors.
I want something like this in the game
and when you return form your supply run you will see a empty house bc the tripods abducted your guy
@@neshoch3264 you could come across groups of hostile humans too, they could try to steal your group, your groups could make some independent decisions and just pick a fight with another survivor somewhere
I do believe co op is part of the plan
@Sergeant BlueBear yeah it said in the video before getting abducted that they can hear the players microphone so I think there's a good chance it'll be multiplayer
