Uh, this video gave me idea about visual direction. Make it cyber ninjas+hip hop like Samurai Champloo. Stake jumps, some wall running, slides, sword autoactions and combos.

cyber ninjas + hip hop

samurais + hip hop still good? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9QU5-9DFC4

Is it like painkiller stake? :o

I really wish you could get Beckoning to do the soundtrack for Reflex, looks like he hasn't done any new work for a year though. Love his stuff. Also the Stake gun is an interesting concept, would it be possible to abuse it and say create a wall in an area with it?

I released a techno album a few weeks ago. :P

mmmm, stake

stake gun shoots out pretty quickly
why is there still a railgun?

stakegun+instant switch ftw

Get your target stuck to the wall so you can use the LG to do the rest :P

the stake gun is awesome, allows for such a variety of uses

loving the stake gun idea as a weapon
hoping the jump doesn't break the game

wow

does the stake gun replace the rail?

is it instant?

I wouldn't mind rail being replaced by a stake gun, esp if it's projectile but very fast

nothings worst than playing against a rail whore

Stake gun + cpm = wet pants

I wonder if this can be used to hinder player's movement or completely block them by staking walls in tight corridors/corners.

It's only 28units long, you could probably catch somone going up a jumppad but thats about it I think

Yeah, but imagine all those tight corner shortcuts people dash through in aerowalk. One could find very specific stack spots that over the time become known to hinder movement.

nailgun

Uhm what?

Nice, these are the kind of updates we need!

The stake gun gives so much depth in movement and tactics. Niceee. Actually it looks quite good overall. Going in to the right direction for sure. Keep it up devs! :)

Whats the delay/reload on the stake gun? Personally I can see that getting a little bit out of hand if it means the player can jump along any wall and plant a stake right before they land on it allowing them to walljump whenever they want.

Twisting your words a bit, the delay on the stake gun can be a great way to balance that mechanic.

For that very reason is that Warsow dealt with that problem for years and, to be honest, they never found a good fix.

Not that it matters if the game isn't funded :P

The last thing the game needs is something to further negate map geometry and increase player mobility. Was really hoping the movement would be toned down but apparently not.

I have two issues with the stakejump
there's a real chance it would cheapen the movement "too much".
"stair jumps, you say? never got good at them, i use my stake gun for long distance jumping instead"

and it could make the gun too overpowered
you get a high damage gun and a powerful jumpboost that doesn't hurt you back...

i think a better mechanic would be an axe jump(yes, i know it would look stupid. hear me out)
one, everyone would have it
two, the boost would be small compared to this
you could make it difficult to do(in contrast, the stakejump looks very easy to do)
good players could use fakeaxe jumps to fool the other player(you could do the same with the stake, but you'd see it more often with the axe because the axe has no ammo)

maybe reflexdev will make the stakejump work perfectly fine, well see, but i don't have my hopes up.

Maybe make the melee a throwable projectile and use it as a platform instead, then like 100ms after touching it you would pick it up allowing you to jump off from it while also getting it back. This is by all means not a serious idea lol.

this game reminds me of Quake 2 so far, or lets say original Quake games, lets hope the textures will be quite nice and not that " evolution / modern and robotic " kinda ones

ill hope they'll get at least 100k

They don't receive any of the money if they don't reach the 360k.

One of the mistakes they did is KS campaign + 2 days later steam greenlight, there are probably some backers who donated through steam without KS so that's also an overall smaller amount of which they are recieving yet.

Too bad it will not be a succes. :/

not sure what you mean there, steam greenlight is a thing where you just vote, you can't give money to a project through it. There's a link to the KS through their greenlight page anyway.

i am so happy this game doesnt have insta switch... i would even play turbo more if there wasnt insta switch.

I hope you are sarcastic, because this game HAS insta switch.

I allready mentioned that switch shouldn't be instant, but it shouldn't even be like q3/ql

Somewhere in between insta and vanilla would be totally fine for this fast paced game.

It does not have instant switch.

Barely not insta switch then.

75ms. Not insta,but quite fast.

electric fence gun...
so you can heard the enemy like cattle...
then make hamburger.

Stake gun looks awesome, the best players will use it like beasts, the weak will have another skill to be mediocre at.

decrease 50% of aircontrol and I am bought already!
