| HoloDust said: Loaded up that presentation scene - OGRE engine, well that was a blast from the past. It's seems highly unoptimized at this point, not sure they needed to show that scene in that state. And some strange decisions when it comes to lightning/shadows. |
Well they are looking for kickstarter money to polish the game. For a studio without a proven track record or any big names attached I think it's a good thing to show something to show that actual work has been done on the project so you don't run into issues like the Areal kickstarter where it looks like it might be a scam. I think people backing kickstarters like this should understand that games don't usually look or play well until the last few months of development. It's the same reason that E3 demos usually don't reflect the final product and companies love to show target renders and CGI trailers rather than early game footage. Otherwise you get EA's press conferance, look at the early builds they showed there from huge studios with lots of resources. Mirrors Edge for example has been in development for a couple years in it's current form and all they had to show was some greybox levels.
