awesome! thanks for checking Gunhead out - I think we will keep demo up until Nov 7th or so.
Also not announced yet... but we're doing a free giveaway of Cryptark on Steam later this week (as in anyone can get a free copy of it). So anyone hasn't tried Cryptark maybe wait to buy it a few more days :)
also wanted to add after watching rest:
- When you buy a license or pick stuff up and dont set it to a slot - it goes into your Inventory. You can adjust your weapons at anytime in the Inventory option in the ingame menu. We're making some changes to make that more clear
- There is a Zero G suit that lets you fly around, so thats a possible alternative option than the constant jetpack use
I think i'll change it so FOV moves weapon models back also
Can you clear up something for me?
Why do devs do advertisement for release versions of games that I cant buy yet?
Ads for games in development makes sense, get word out there and spread word of mouth. It takes time and people that are crazy for it can do free advertisement while you finish the game.
But full versions getting an ad campaign before I can buy it just means every other game has a month to usurp my attention. Hundreds of games a day get released. About every day, Splatty shows another game.
I am not going to see your game at release. You fall back into the pile thats worth while.
Why not advertise the same day or the day before release? Maintaining a day of hype is easy. Half a month is damn near impossible for me.
Cheers and have a good one.
@@TherealTenmanI Because Steam use interest for an upcoming game to know how much to put it forward when the game will be released (and before it get released).
Marketing a game is a very difficult process where developer will usualy have a lot of "misses" where X or Y advertising simply didn't work, puting the faith into a single action to advertise 1/2 day before the release of a game is just highway to waste a game.
And it's not necesarly Steam fault wanting game to have hype for a long time, it's simply the best compromise Steam found to allow any dev to still have sucess and pushing them forward without having it's store flood average player with trash game that don't interest anyone.
@@LeeVermeulenabsolutely loved the first game! I got the platinum for it. One of my favorite games ever ngl. I'm as pumped for this as I have been for Risk of Rain 2 and Helldivers 2.
Mechwarrior suits are not that agile, those feel more like a Gundam suit. It just needs a child soldier with crippling mental issues.
It’s clunky enough that it could be an Elemental power armour suit
This is small scale, not 25-100 ton multi story tall war machines
I thought the color palette made it fairly clearly readable. Lots of "space guns" games hide everything in the dark, but this one has color themes so you know a lot easier what to shoot at
Let's get it, Señior Splat!
Edit: I, once again, would like to sincerely thank you for your continued dedication to put out content on the regular. You are my favorite RUclips content creator & have been for years now, so every now & again I just want to let you know how appreciative I am for what you do. Keep em coming, brother! 1 mill subscribers is just around the corner & I know of no one more deserving of such a milestone than you 🎉 Nothing but love, brothaman

Unless he's your superior compadre...
@spatialdistortion223 you are correct. Can't believe I even spelled señor wrong. 😅 gracias, muchacho
This almost FEELS Void Bastards and Mothergunship had a baby, but more guns, movement and able to go outside the ship and to another entry of the ship.
Absolutely ; and having played Cryptark a lot, I wanna add that there's a great "sandboxy approach" on how to deal with a level. The more you advance in a game, the more you need to get your head around what REALLY matters in terms of objectives priorization. Most of the time, you pick and choose but a few stuff from one derelict, so you don't waste money and resources. I don't know how this long-term startegy will impact Gunhead, but in Cryptark, it was really smth to take into account.
Cheers
@@clemguitarechalCryptark is really one of my favorite games ever tbh. Easy platinum too. But the depth of strategy and tactics is way deeper than it has any right to be. Especially for an indie game.
Something about the aesthetic of this game reminds me of Mothergunship.
thought the exact same thing!
Came here to leave this comment)
Ya that was the name of the game not the game splattercat said don't think I seen the game he said.
Supper simular
Add me to the list. I came to the same conclusion about 2 minutes in.
Cryptark had some of the best procedural level design. This game looks even better.
Man, I loved cryptark, and I've been so excited for this.
Same, brother
Cryptark was VERY good. Stoked for this.
Cryptarch is still one of my favorite games. It was exactly in the sweet spot for me of challenging strategy and action, without becoming tedious or a chore. I loved the problem solving and decision making involved in the higher levels. I may pick this new game up, but I'm concerned the 3D won't give me the same experience. In the old game I ended up flying by map much of the time and this would be a completely different thing because of the depth dimension.
Thank you for having the thought "oh yeah I was going to show you guys the spider lady" 😂
This has been on my wishlist for years, I thought it had been abandoned! This is great news. Great content as always Splat
7:06 - I would say the main reason is that for the first game, 2D is MUCH easier to manage - you only need sprites (which are basically PNG images). If your first game is successful, you can make a 3D game now! That would be harder but it will look appealing for more players ;-)
2D is only annoying if you are trying to make a good lighting system or make something like Stronghold xD
> Splatty, "I always fail the time limits in this game, every single time."
Well at least you're consistent.
> Splatty, "I'm gonna need you to open up and make this happen."
Consent is a thing Splatty.
Cryptark was one of the best games I have ever played.
I will be sure to get this when it is released!!!
Cryptark rocked, glad to see you are still dropping YT vids splat! I never heard of this
Cryptark is my first steam game, been waiting for gunead since 🎉
I could boot to Cryptek again. I really enjoyed it. I had a bad habit of wanting to take things head on, just fighting as many mobs as possible
This one of my most anticipated indie games next to Stoneshard
"Like a birdy in the sky, I'm so high
Put'cha arms around me baybay, put'cha arms around me baybay!
Iiiiiii just wanna..." 🎶 lol
Thanks, splatty 🤣
They've been developing this for so long! I loved Cryptark. Looking forward to the release (co-op please, devs!!)
This one is quite similar to Void bastards. But with more budget ^^
Cryptark was a game I really wanted to like, but didn't get into heavily. Part of the problem, for me at least, was that I couldn't consistently play it with my 360 controller and it wasn't the type of game I'd prefer to play with KB+M.
Glad to see these devs are still going. This looks like my jam! I'll be checking this out in the future.
I've always loved playing the _garbage-picker-in-space_ role.
I enjoy garbage picker in real life roles on occasion.
Love this. Soundtrack in cryptark.. now in this. Just fantastic.
Cryptark was such a hardcore game, I loved it just as much as it ripped my hope appart :D
Can't wait for the 1.0 release of Gunhead ; it's gonna be so HARD !!
ps : if you didn't play Cryptark, just know that the more you advanced in a game, the crazier it gets ; systems' links becoming absolutely nuts
I didn't know this was coming out so soon, cool! It looks good.
This really looks alot like Tower of Guns and MotherGunship
I do like this kinda cartoony art style.
Loved cryptark, it's the only game I ever wrote a review for.
Splat is totally right, Cryptark is a fantastic game, the selection of weapons, the lore and various weird artifacts that tease the story forward all add up to something pretty special. I will add it's a GREAT game to play on Steam Deck, it suits it perfectly imho.
Thanks for the endless stream of entertainment Splatter!
I like how clear the art in this game is. You can clearly understand what is where. It is clean!
Loved Cryptark! Can't wait for this
oh man TotalBiscuit, I miss that man, RIP
We all do...
Cryptark is a great game. And it is awesome to pick up and play on the steam deck.
i still play cryptarch on my steam deck at work on occasion. glad to hear they're still kickin, have to check it out.
Picking this up. Looks fun
Never played cryptark, but this looks right up my alley.
First impressions, this looks great.
Cryptark was golden. This looks like wet dream material.
Reminds me of Descent, but without the vertigo and getting lost since you have gravity. Good call by the Devs
Hey guys, any one remember movie Gunhead from 80" old shool Japanese Sci fi movie? If you like Mech, biodroids, bad ass scavengers with 50cal. I highly recommend
total biscuit ❤
Thanks for showcasing! ^^
Cryptark is a great game.
Omg I was waiting for it since forever...
This reminds me a bit of Brahma Force: The assault on Beltlogger 9
Yo they went risk of rain route! Pretty cool
I like the floaty guns!
This is like Tower of Guns or Mothership
Pretty much you can fly if you smash the spacebar 500 times. Not sure if the developers knew this. Developer's... We put so much work into the intricacy of how you can move on the ground, look we even got these jump pads so you can feel like you're flying. Splattercat flying by, look jump pads cool😂
7:45 We can see the "type" of core for the derelict ; and it makes me wonder : what other of core there is ?
I don't recall having any other type in Cryptark ; but it's been a while I didn't play.
I have been waiting for this for years
reminds me of Tower of Guns and Mothergunship, looks cool
I like that the guns dont hit the reticule. Reminds me of mechwarior. They should just make the reticule big to encompas… eh ittle land some were in the ballpark XD
Another mecha game that was fantastic was Phantom Crash/SLAI depending on the console it was on.
All the same the aim was done by your onboard ai, and obviusly they would onky lock on at a sertain range to enemies.
Manualy the weapons would fire to the right or left or realy low on the arms. And if somthing cloaked youd have to know your manual aim. Was a good time.
All while running around in a beefed up Urbanmech LOL
MY GOD WAS CRYPTARK AMAZING. For context of how that game plays you have your random gen campaign mode that is sort of a roguelike and the straight up roguelike mode. I am interested if GUNHEAD takes place after Cryptark or if it is a whole different story with a different crew. Again, for context in the first game when you get the ending, you and your crew screw over the political party that hired you and take a live alien organism they were after for yourself which then I can only assume the crew sell it on the black market. would need to look ending again but, I don't think they say what happens after you take the alien
RIP TB
Working with 2D is cheaper and faster, not more annoying. It's often based on existing platformer-templates, which can easily be tweaked or bought of the item shop. 3D gets more difficult and more expensive. 2D is just an isometric or parallax setup, but the objects are often still in 3D, usually smaller size/lower quality than in first person 3D.
Love ya Splat! ❤
Awesome, as expected from Cry-ptark Engine
I don't like how the guns are just floating there :( the mech was cool I wish it would look more like a cockpit.
hey dev here - It's because it's a higher FOV than the default. I think I'll move the guns back if a higher FOV is set... probably a good idea
Looks to me as though this is the spiritual successor to Descent.
This kind of reminds me of a more frenetic Void Bastards.
that spider looks more like a scorpion.
I love Cryptark. IMO they made a mistake by shifting to this perspective. Cryptarks art style was immaculate
this looks awesome pimp
Hearing the jerma985 voice open a sealed memory vault in my head. I now know why this game was so familiar. What crazy, i didn't know he actually voice acted in the first game but i always thought he was just doing his silly voice over the character for comedic effect. It's one of those things so bad it good?
ThankYou SirSpla77
cryptark was soooooo gooood. I wanted expansions. I want clones. it was so good.
If this is the full release, this is lost opportunities 101. It felt like a tech demo.
The cell shading is neat and a good trick for getting good framerates, however when you have flat light on textures with panels and rectangles that are painted on to geometries that are flat planes, where everything is the same dull greenish-tinted industrial gray, then quickly determining what is an element of a texture and what is a piece of geometry is not as snap-simple as it really ought to be.
Turrets don't rotate to point at you. Fine - but why make them turrets with obvious barrels and an apparent 'front' end if it is not actually the 'front'?
Powerups are a thin pinkish-purplely glowing rectangle. Fun? The weapons at least are apparently fully modeled and textured since they are displayed in front of you, so why not have them floating in the world? Why doesn't a gear pick up look like the gear being picked up? In a game ostensibly about salvage, there seems to be very little actual salvaging.
Every mission is to disable the brain? Every one? How about just stealing a drone manufactury or downloading records or star charts or .. anything else?
The lack of depth and customizability is a huge miss. It seems weapon loadout is the most that can be customized. Given that there are things like alarm systems, drones, "turrets", doors, interconnected systems, then why aren't there lock pickers, network scramblers, drone disablers or even reprogrammers, target system scramblers, etc.? If you selected your loadout and had to split your resource budget, say, FTL-style energy and MechWarrior-style weight and hardpoint, then you'd have a MUCH more engaging game. Maybe you can even run a smaller mech that is faster, but lighter so it can't field heavy weapons but it is harder to detect and target. Maybe if you run a smaller mech you can fit in to corridors, or even ducting, that larger mechs can't. Massive opportunities missed.
For that matter, why are ships a connection of massive gymnasium-sized pseudo-hangers with incredibly abbreviated walkways and random holes in the decking? This is obviously to serve the six-degrees concept, but it makes zero actual sense. If the ship was to be operated by humanoids, they'd have to have the basic abilities of a mech - be able to move in six degrees of freedom with minimal effort and still for some reason want only a single large door connecting rooms. Random holes in the middle of the floor are fine if you can float, so why have gravity? Internal layout makes very little sense. It is obviously a 'bot arena.
The basic gunplay looks workable. Splat's recoding software's volume control makes the ingame sounds almost impossible to hear well, so that does not help, but there doesn't seem to be any real spread, recoil, or general feel to the weapons.
There's certainly potential here, but that's all it is - potential. This is a tech demo with upgrades. It isn't really a game. Environments, missions, loadout and itemization, nearly everything seems to be at pre-alpha stage.
This is not the demo, this is just a tribute.
I feel like moving from 2d to 3d the game lost quite a bit of it's oomph. Shooting in Cryptark felt like shooting a bloter gun in 40k. In the video it kinda feels like pew-pew now.
This reminds me of Descent.
i totally almost downloaded the demo for this . Im gunna check this out and make a decision.
Gunhead demo didn't really vibe with me, but I might get Cryptark. Had never heard of it!
Cryptark has so many good ideas in it. Really good game.
CRYPTARK is free on Steam, right now. 😉
Missed this detail. Is your gun a head or is there a gun on your head? I only saw guns on/as the arms.
One of the mechs in Cryptark was called Gunhead, and yes, his head had a gun poking out that would light shit up. Best looking mech out of the seven or so.
Thanks for the video.
So they made a first person Cryptark?! Cryptark was amazing! Not sure why it never took off.

this feels like Mothergunship with more openness and movement.
VR support dev? :D
"Gunhead"!?
Isn't that an 80s mech-movie done by the Godzilla-guys, kinda based on a videogame spaceship-shooter?
Ah. Gunhead. I thought the Devs went silent.
Something about this FPS version of the game doesn't have the same atmosphere as the 2D Cryptark. There appears to be this lack of flashiness/oomph/particle effects the first game had. The map system was also better in Cyptark. Really made the ships feel like this mess of tech. Will have to check out demo and see. I really loved the sheen of the first game. Surprised this didn't go with six degrees of freedom for the flight movement? Maybe different suits will offer different movement?
Reminds me of good old Decsend
In Descend you can rotate and your floor became sealing. Not here ;-)
This is more like Void Bastards and Mothergunshiip.
Splattercat and community, can you recommend Halloween CO-OP games that AREN'T horror? Halloween themed. And we're not fans of pixel-type games. We usually play games like Borderlands 3/Wonderlands, Valheim, Don't Starve Together, Outriders, No Man's Sky. We aren't looking for any PvP, either. I figured asking here would get me the best results, as Splattercat is the most diverse gamer I know, and his community therefore is gonna be a group of "outside-the-box" thinkers. Thanks, all. Much appreciated. And Happy Halloween!
Wish this was going to be multiplayer:(
Cryptark is free on STEAM til 21st of Oct
👍
Gun may not fire right of the reticle, they might be converging at max range.
To be honest, I would have preferred a Cryptark II with a proper coop mode, like the one we know from Helldivers.
Like splat said crypt did not take off.
A good part of that is the game kinda looked and played like a flash game.
Changing to a sick fps may give it the chance to gain some recognitions
@@bombingthesky If the game was not commercially successful enough, then that is an understandable reason. However, the change to the FPS perspective made the game much more ordinary.
Apart from that, in my humble opinion, it doesn't look as high quality as its indirect predecessor. My desire to play it is limited.
Dunno. First game have her own style, characters and your ship drawn with love for details. This one looks like someone decided to make a cheap remake with basic 3D graphics. But I will be happy to acknowledge my mistake if the sequel turns out good.
Why can't we get Cryptark ported to switch? One of my favorite roguelikes in a sea of roguelikes that I own, and probably the one that stands out the most by being different from all the others and extremely fun...I just wanna be able to play it on the go. Wish there was something I could do to convince the devs to port it over. I own it on everything else I have, pc and consoles, but I would play it so much more on switch
splat mech attak
Tower of guns?
Smells a bit like Tower of Guns
This game looks like decent. look fun,
Jerma does not say "Giant Enemy Spider"?
If you have never played Cryptark, go get it right now. It is excellent!
CRYPTARK is free on Steam, right now. 😉
it's not that 2D is annoying to work with, having fewer dimensions just makes things easier!
