Just in case anyone missed this over in the LS games forum (maybe like me they hardly ever shift their lazy arse out of bleatings).



The Cylons may have had Resurrection but Galactica has the mighty Sheepie Save.




Liberator attacks a projectile-spewing Sun.




Galactica's strong guns completely shred an incoming line of attackers.




OUCH.




Enterprise over Planet Squaresheep.




Atari bee gettin' busy.




Dropship attacks Gilby.




Liberator fronting a line of incoming prior to getting some sheepie lovin'.




Do not fuck with Liberator or you will be turned into particle disks.




Yep, got me.




I WARNED YOU.




You may have lightning stars and grav projectiles but I am the mighty GALACTICA, Best Ship in the Fleet, and I am going to fuck your shit right up.



The text at the mottom of the screen is just a test of the hint system, it'll be absent from all but the earliest levels and it will of course even there be optional.

Shows just the lowest few levels in Korma (Easy) difficulty, just to prove it's not all balls out psycho nutter crazy from the word go, but in fact introduces everything in a very genteel and polite manner that even your granny would feel comfortable with .

Sound. Cheers for posting that Yak & Giles

Eye-searingly beautiful as expected!

Sweet !

Oh lord this looks tremendous. =)

That looks extraordinarily luvverly.

Remind me again, what platforms is it being released on?

( CUT and PASTE from LJ )

There's been *LOT* of discussion/exeprimentation on finding the right balance between "looking/good interesting" and "not too overload too soon the player yet give the feeling there's lot to see" hopefully this time the curve set is/will be more pleasant to people.

In fact to me some N levels are "too easy" but then again I am quite much used to this gendre of stuff I do love the fact that if you really want something totally insane to play then you can still have it but if you don't just play an easier difficulty level

Again, still don't make justice, a vid capture at some point will be needed because there's really "so much animation going on" and eveything ranges from subtle to super vibrant

This game got an unique shape, there actually been some fights and discussions over it precisely because from one thing it turned out to be "something totally else" that nobody was expecting but I don't want to spoil the surprise here.

This game definitely has its own style, I can see maybe in a future some other people will try to copy it because it's different, this is the game you can play with one hand and have a cup of tea with the other.

Working to finish things soon we still have a few tech issues to test/check/adjust but fundamentally "we are there".

I just want to add it's been "quite a lot of work" we started from one direction/stuff we had and work on it and .. we eneded up in adding lot and lot and change stuff lot more than expected really, this is why time slipped off a bit but it's been very well worth time spent.

This is NEW stuff, this is really NEW, yes it did start from some ideas but it did change quite much.

PC, DirectX 9.0c required, graphic card POSSIBLY with Shader Model 3.0 but 2.0 will do too ( game will look a bit different ).

NOTE : "different" <> "worse", actually it will be like getting 2 games for the price of one

I still hate the dropships from last time round, you swines.

Just watched the vid - The toning down of the eyegasmFX for the Korma level I think is definitely a good move.

I love some of the animation of the baddies - Very wavy/Jellyfish-like.

Will this be available on Steam?

Yeah, one thing we've learned is that if you come on too strong with the psychedelia straight away it can scare people off. Lead them into it more gently and you can still have crazier stuff later on when they've acclimatised, but people won't be scared off. As you can see the intro levels are quite sane and pretty without being eyeball-melting. You have to play 20 Korma levels before you even get to try anything hotter. No chance of someone more suited to a Korma accidentally getting a Vindaloo with eye-watering results .

Regarding Steam, who knows? We'll need to submit the game to them when it's finished. Ideally I'll want to get the game reviewed in a few places first before we start pitching it around to the likes of Steam. Once we have final code ready we'll start chucking it at reviewers and hope they'll like it .

Best of luck with it.

Cool, ta.

It looks gloriously smooth. I like the chilled music too - is that new for the game or from elsewhere? My only criticism is that the new sheep looks a bit flat and lacking in character compared to the old one. Anyway, overall it looks ace. Definitely +1 sale here.
