    bro forget about how incredible this game looks, or how sick the animations look, the way you solve issues is sooo amazing, like the lag fix, the enemy shooting you only if you are standing still, so so so smart and amazing. keep doing what you are doing. 10/10 problem solving skills

    honestly, I'm getting this as soon as you guys are ready to release. the game looks smooth, the pixel shader contrasts really well with the cyberpunk setting. The combat system is really fluid and satisfying, and the aesthetic reminds me a lot of Katana Zero (as well as the bullet time scenes). Great job so far

    Hey amazing job!
    By judging your thumbnail, I wasn't expecting this
    Maybe show the protagonist doing some tricks in the thumbnail? I don't know
    I think it's important the thumbnail catches the vibe of the game / shows something important in the game. Here, your protagonist is just crouching and shooting at someone. Maybe spice it up by showing him doing insane tricks while killing the other dude :)
    Anyway, again: amazing job! I'll follow your project :)

      ​@@retrolightgames I love the idea of the game.
      I feel like the game is a bit too pixelated.
      It looks very pixelated on my phone screen, I can't imagine how large the pixel will look on a 27inch monitor or a 55 inch TV.
      The games lighting is very cool though

    "but it also runs the risk of looking like old crappy graphics" LOL i laughed so hard at that part haha, as someone the same age i understand completely...we have a strong nostalgia for the visuals we grew up with, but more often then not, the indies that attempt the low poly look typically look like old crappy graphics.. it's kinda like with pixel art, there were so many devs who just aimed at snes like graphics but they always were passed on and at the end of the day weren't really that special, but it's the ones that learned to incorporate it with modern day tech, that make it shine. like look at square enix, they are the KING of remaking games at the moment, no company has more remake styles than them.
    if you look at their HD-2D style, it was a beautiful way of solving pixel art to make it pop and feel modern without making it adhere the limitations of the past, they did it again with the new star ocean 2nd story r, they incorporated 2d characters with 3d landscapes and its absolutely BEAUTIFUL, as long as you can make the low poly, compliment modern techniques well, youve got it. and seeing what you've been doing with the lighting, tells me you're almost there! keep it up bro this looks legit!

    Wow. Just when I was scouring Steam to fill a 3rd person shooter itch, this lovely video pops right up in my feed. And it has just about everything I’ve wanted and more!
    Sick gun play? ✅
    Crazy stylish movement? ✅
    Super inspired vintage aesthetic, cause I am sucker for the vintage? ✅✅
    Cool factor? ✅✅✅
    And a trench coat wearing protag to boot? ✅✅✅✅
    Idk who you are, Retrolight, and idk how you got into my brain. But thank you for doing so! This may very well scratch that part of my brain I’ve been trying to for ages. So thank you for this! I’m typing this at 4am currently and am about to sleep but I would so love to try this out. So far from what I’ve seen, this is what third person shooters have the potential and deserve to be. Same as Insomniac’s Sunset Overdrive, same as PlatinumGames’ Vanquish, and (I’ll even go out on a limb and say it) same as Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad! This is the passion I love to see in video games. And you are absolutely killing it.
    Bravo, my friend. Best of luck with the development. I really can’t wait for this.
