      I remember in a stream he did last September, he saw an Uber pods walking away from his cabin and he called it out and it immediately stopped on it's track and turned around. What followed was about 3 minutes of terror. Tripods circling the cabin, horns sounding, etc. Turned out there were 2 Ubers, an assault pod, and a harvester further away. Plus one more Uber behind a barn. The fact that several tripods can respond from you even just accidentally farting next to one is probably the scariest thing with these death machines.

    Honestly, I believe in a monster game like this, a great way to induce fear is to not encounter them for maybe a full day or 2. 2 days go by with nothing, you're gonna get complacent. Feel safe. Then when you all of a sudden hear the roar and see it in the distance. The feeling of fear in that moment would be much greater than if they were around the whole time.

      @@nizitamaruvaka2294 You mistake my statement as a dislike of a good jumpscare or extravagant gore. I've been a horror fan practically since I could walk back when 8 track players were the latest fad. The key words here are 'incessant' and 'copious' where it teeters beyond being scary and just ends up being campy. All the most effective horror movies use atmosphere and tension between these moments. Same can be said with video game horror, which is why Silent Hill and the OG Resident Evil stand out.

    The love for the project shows. I don't expect it to be as fleshed out as it is but for a small team the sound design is quite amazing and creates a unique amazing atmosphere true to the films. This is clearly a passion project that will be appreciated by many. I don't expect perfection from this game but would greatly enjoy playing it.
    Keep up the great work and take your time, the updates are always great.

    Suggestion: Aliens could have different behavior patterns for different situations in order to respond to players behavior. If player is armed, they would not be that aggressive and would avoid him or go to the nearest tripod around. If player manages to kill some aliens, they would appear to move in groups often. And getting close to the end, they might become neutral and avoid contact, or didn't fight back since they got corona. Also, that would be cool if probe also got some interaction, like stopping for a minute to study painting of humans or other stuff in house. That might help players to plan around environment, or even move objects like painting, so player would control probe path in a little or win time.

    17:40 When i seen it approaching i thought "How cool would it be if the Tripod had the ability to intimidate a player into running out from their hiding spot" and then 7 seconds later the Foot just landed in front of the player and I thought "Yea that would do it". Very impressive mechanics

    I always imagined the aliens as being physically weak as they would be so used of their advanced tech to do all the fighting for them and that if they were face to face with humans, they'd run away in fear like cowards straight back to their ship and then attack humans with it.

    The most impressive thing is the tripods like you don’t see often game devs making GIGANTIC enemy’s with almost no animation with their walking so good job Raf well done 👏

    I absolutely love this! Although I think it could be made much more atmospheric with more “echo” to sounds like the tripod rising up and more distant Lightning sounds, but so far it looks beautiful!

    I'm so blown away by how good that probe is. Extreme dedication and skill!

    5:03 I love how the tripod observes it’s surroundings.. then boom, EXTERMINATES EVERYONE

    I really like the lightning effects, as it really seems just not right to be lightning, with the sounds being spot on. Keep up the good work!

    Awesome update!
    I love what you've done with the day lighting. It's a huge improvement, and very easy to look at. Environmental stuff looks incredibly improved across the board, in particular the new storm effects, as well as the new implementation of the blood mist--very close to the film. I also *adore* the revamped tripod emergence sequence (and I love that you included the dirt shaking loose upon its first roar).
    I think if you're intending to closely match the film aesthetic, the nighttime scenes could be a little less colorful--in the film nighttime scenes are very black/gray, with more subtle cold blues being prominent.
    The custom sounds for the probe are interesting, though I think it could be improved. The one in the film seems to have two overlaid humming effects--one is a high-frequency, constant buzz, and the other is a buzz that raises in tone/volume when the probe moves. The custom sound is a little flat and harsh on the ears in its current state (the lower frequency of the buzz gives it a bit of bass), so a layered effect could make it more appealing.
    Also, I might be nitpicking, but the probe seems almost... too skinny? It seemed a lot thicker in the film. It could just be a trick of perspective though so I'm not sure.
    Overall a very exciting update! The environments get better and better with every update, and the tripods are getting terrifyingly lifelike. I can't wait to get my hands on this.
