Why the f I see vertical gameplay of someone playing 16:9?
I played the demo for a few hours. Might be a solo dev, but his experience is definitely noticeable. Game looks great, albeit unoptimized. Progression is simple and fair. Artwork is incredible for a solo dev. Combat is decent, and unexpectedly satisfying.
Someone else mentioned the excessive blood explosion - it’s the best feeling when you land one of those shots from across a field.
Ahh, a game dedicated to being a stealth archer, fuck yeah, I'm in.
I know right. He knew that was the best way to play Skyrim. This game looks bad ass.
There were other ways to successfully play base Skyrim??
Stealth and daggers backstab could also eliminate having to interact with the actual combat of the game, making for a better experience.
Yeah, but...that sounds like effort. Much easier to slap a stabby bit on the end of a stick and only occasionally accidentally kill a random goat.
Looks interesting, but the music should hit WAY harder, IMO. Based on the visuals, I was expecting early 2000s Opeth, and I got late 2010s Opeth instead.
The music is all written by a member of ISIS, which is pretty heavy, but in an "atmospheric sludge/post-metal" way. So I can see how you'd think that if you're looking for something more death metal (which would fit in the fight scenes, although atmospheric sludge or funeral doom would go pretty well in the rest of the game)
Oh snap thanks for pointing this out! Been a long time and I haven't kept up with ISIS, but their Panopticon was damn near genre-defining for me at the time.
Not really all that related, but if you like Panopticon by ISIS, you might also appreciate the best Appalachian atmospheric black metal I've ever heard, Kentucky by Panopticon.
Buddy, "Appalachian atmospheric black metal" is a weird combination of words I've never seen before and I'm stoked to give it a whirl. Praise Satan for keeping metal interesting.

Dammit, my iGPU has more than enough computing power but only half of the VRAM.
There is a demo, so you can see if it will run well enough for you before you buy it.
a demo in this day? dev knows what's up
Remember getting demo discs in magazines? Great times
as a poor kid living in the sticks demo discs were the only way I could play many games.
if it weren't for them, I would have never gotten into games, nor computers, nor my career that has elevated my QOL.
could say demo discs saved my life from many hardships.
Still took less time than Elder Scrolls 6 to come out
Think we know why (this guy quit)
You’d think it would be a blow to Bethesda that their sole programmer quit, but fortunately the creation engine is so cutting edge that I’m sure they’ll lean on it just as it is for years to come.
This looks like skyrim sneaky archer: the game.
Definitely gunna play this.
What is publishers role anyway in digital age of 2024? Marketing?
Financing.
Marketing and distribution (physical copies)
Looks fun. I cracked up when dude shot the deer thing and the blood exploded. I'll definitely check this out.
Is that heavy metal music actually in the game, or is it just for the trailer?
