Stats and combat AI

I am so ridiculously, insanely, totally freaking happy right now.

I'm not gonna lie, you guys are just the best. Thank you all so much. I'm really excited for the next video and the alpha!

Oh man, if Bare Mettle says it's breathtaking, that means it's going to be mind-blowing for the rest of us

Excellent

Is this another "insider only" video? I'm not convinced I should support this project when the only footage of gameplay I have access to is 11 months old lol... I'd like to see how far you've come and all of the improvements you've made before I'm convinced.

The next video is for non insiders I would find you a quote but I'm on a android. And Besides the dev videos where part of a tier in kickstarter which they are still letting people get there are extremely in depth Description of the dev videos out there in this forum so hit that search

Is there a new insider video out that I haven't seen?

Im sorry, it is not. There are 3 dev videos for now. The new video is going to be public (which is good)

Cooper Holt · Oct 16, 2013

Oh, okay. Just the way some people were wording their posts led me to believe there was one out.
Thanks for the clarification!

I'm about to mail Kickstarter and file a complaint, so that they force BM to show their awesome stuff.

By the way, I notice we are approaching the first anniversary of SG being in development after the Kickstarter.

fluffydino2000 · Oct 16, 2013

That's true. I think they should honour this day by giving us a release date for the alpha.

Fawz · Oct 17, 2013

Thanks for the update! Even when there's no footage it's still great to hear from Devs about how things are moving forward and what we can expect next. Keep up the good work!

I like the idea of having a mini game of sorts for things like crafting to determine quality stats can have an effect on the difficulty of the mini game like a simple rhythm game or just a timing mechanism like in Legend of Dragoon battle system or reloading your weapon in Gears of War for an extra damage boost. That way I actually have some fault in the success rate.

I hope the taverns will be extremely lively. Well not all of them but sometimes. On Saturdays or something lol

Then, obviously, we need stats indicating how well we can hold down our booze. The most important of all game mechanics

I was thinking, someone knows if Stabbing attacks are implemented???
and also, there is any info about critical hits?

Yes and I don't know. I guess hitting somsone in the face will cause more harm than a gentle graze across the shoulder.

fluffydino2000 · Nov 5, 2013

Yeah, critical hits are one of those artificial game mechanics that doesn't really work with this level of simulation. Unless if you mean assassinations and stuff? I'm pretty certain all damage will be calculated based on the actual collision and where the collision is, without any other modifiers.

Mr. Kieran, clarify the situation, the video will be made public or not?

Don't really need Kieran to clarify this; Yes, the video will be made public.
It should be relatively soon now, considering they started to actually record it some day's back.
