Something about seeing a Tripod as a husk with only its lights flickering, and then eventually going out, is both gratifying and haunting.
Why are there no background noises in this game? No sounds from the boat engine, no noise at all except some cracking noice!

@@emwjmannen2why have you posted this exact same comment like five times
@@thesovietshark8945 Why ask 20 people, when you can ask 200 people? When you only comment in only one comment section you often get ZERO answers.
@@thesovietshark8945 Anyway, this game still looks promising, when its more polished its probably going to be really good. I love the 2005 movie, and this game looks similar to it, great!
I love the overwhelming nature of the sound. When I have dreams like this, being chased by a massive entity, the sound is so overwhelming it's rattling the whole area.
especially if you've ever been to things like military airshows and you'd know the sounds of things like fighter jets completely overwhelm your senses and shake your insides
Yep
I remember having a dream where the sound was so deafeningly loud I woke up lol
Give the sound designer a raise
Согласен
@@krifay1 No.
@@povyourdogfoodbadvideos4694why
Pretty sure the sounds are ripped straight from the movie
@@-shikajin-4078 No. They have been altered...
I love how every time the player sees the military, they are really far away and clearly unable to stop the tripods. This is one of my favorite horror game tropes: Seeing someone who could help you but being unable to reach him
Fr
The inside of the Tripod was perfect, very otherwordly yet not too revealing to keep it still mysterious
The death events are much more jarring than just ragdolling you before fading to black.
If you’re zapped by a laser, you hear 0.2 seconds of a zap sound before it cuts to black. No sounds, no music, nothing. Just you with the haunting words of what became of the world in front of you.
The harvesting death scene was particularly haunting. You hear all those people screaming in pure terror, then you hear the loud and deafening sound of the horn before the hatch opens up and reveals a tentacle coming down to grab one of you. You get grabbed, and you can’t do anything but watch as your character screams in fear as they’re pulled into the tank of human blood, right before you hear a metallic *shink* and it cuts to black.
eeeyeah you probably don't wana be puraed in to red weed fertalizer.
Agreed that they're jarring, but once you've seen the animation once or twice you'll probably want to just have it fade to black
@@AlexTunstall unless there are variations added, like something where people would try to hold you, or maybe you have a grenade on you and you can throw it in. There are possibilities to make it enjoyable to replay

@@emwjmannen2 Bot
Wow, you really nailed the tone from the film in this one. If you could add crowd mechanics, so early on in the invasion, you can see mobs of people running in terror, or even later watching displaced people roaming the area trying to get away, that would be awesome too!
That's what I was just thinking as a someone who wanted to originally be a developer.
This man really is so close to perfect on nailing the whole damn kitten kaboodle
I would like to see good people / NPC's who will give you supplies and let you shelter in their location. People with their own characteristics that you can get to know and like, but may also have to kill eventually to stay alive. Also bad people who will try to rob or kill you if you go near their property or hideout. Crazy people too who seem friendly at first and lure you in, but ultimately want to kill you, or they go insane due to the extremity of the situation, who may fire at the aliens to expose your position etc. It would make you think twice about occupying a house, especially if the owner is armed. You would have to kill them somehow, or dash and watch the aliens get them from afar. Maybe even lure the tripods to certain areas even.
You could collect certain things to help certain people, or trade items. Maybe meet injured/hiding army guys to gather intel/information. In reality there would be a lot of people still hiding in houses, forests, or caves, so they do need to be added to the map. Of course as the game progresses less and less people would be alive/seen and you would start feeling alone/isolated. Maybe have survivors get progressively weaker and sicker too, as well as less frequently seen. Friends/good people that you meet end up dying or being taken. Perhaps have the army forcefully conscript random people as well towards the end, so groups of soldiers will take you at gunpoint and have you follow them into battle. It would be great if you could take down a tripod with a bazooka if you survive to say day 8 or something. Otherwise you keep going until you are captured by the aliens.
@@petyrbaelish1718 pretty spoy on to what the npcs already are
It’s too much work
imagine also coming back to city areas and the streets are littered with clothes

@@bloodgripen2257 Can you blame him though?
The new horn sound after the tripod tips the boat over is terrifying. I love it. The deep, bass-y sound of the horns in general is so good. You guys are really on point with the audio.

Stop lying to yourself
@@Xenomorph6 ok
OM hears you.
The fact he constantly posts updates and includes our ideas is fucking great. Especially since most games companies make shit none of us ever wanted anymore
10:30
I love how even the developers are getting jumpscared by the beams
Haha
it's also a good showcase of the stealth mode of the tripods.
You couldn't hear it, just a few light stomps near. And then BAM! Heat ray near the postion with the horn, while the tripod engine rev back up
I didn't even imagine that from 2021 to 2023, this game would become a milestone for the new experiences of Hardcore Surival Game, Honestly... Raf is an example of a person who never gives up on his Project, no matter the difficulties. Thank you FlipSwitch, without you we wouldn't even be here, making this community grow. 💫❤🔥
Compared to just eight months ago. The game went from kind of "ehh a cool attempt" to holy crap this is becoming something we can all take seriously. I hope we see years and years of further improvement. No other game like this for sure.
Why are there no background noises in this game? No sounds from the boat engine, no noise at all except some cracking noice!
@@emwjmannen2Perhaps, maybe, possibly, it could likely very much be that the game is still in pre-alpha.
And the spamming is pathetic ngl
@@sha605 I have better chances of good answers if I ask 200 people instead of 20. Where else should I ask?!
@@sha605 And only asking in one comment section can often give you exactly... NO answers
Seeing the inside of the tripod when those are chosen from the cage was sick!! Always wanted to know what the inside could have looked like. And the death scene? Just wow
I know right the inside of the tripod was actually wild, a shame we didn't see much of it
@@euphoriangold3677 I prefer it that way. Murky and creepy, with just some scarce lights. Don't want to ruin the mystery.
@@Raynsideways yeah that's true but what I was referring to was the inside of the tripod clip was a tad bit too short
I wonder if the inside of the tripod is entirely filled with a liquid, cause we saw all of the orange liquid leave the hatch when the tripod crashed at the end of the movie. I wonder if the aliens are amphibious?
Bruh, there was nothing to see in there
Adding the aliens and scouts to search the houses makes this much more better and scarier, when I first saw this a long time ago I thought about just sitting in the house till I hear no thudding then move on. This make the game much more tense and fear inducing knowing you can't stay and hide for too long and must always move on, never linger for too long, always be on the go.
7:36 I love the sound que that tells you your house is gonna be checked with the probe! Last time, it was hard to tell if the tripods were looking through the house next to you or your house until the camera turned on. This is a nice feature in general
Also notice that harvester type tripods which is ones with cages and probes have a different walk/engine sound.
@@greendecepticon6148they dont.
9:30 it was so terrifying and then that Minecraft glass breaking sound absolutely killed me. It was so funny
And thats why I love indie studios. They know exactly want players want and don’t always just mind the money like Triple AAA studios
Yes, the great thing about indie studies is, It's much easier to contact/communicate with the developers so they always know what we do and don't like.
I cannot begin to say how impressed i am with this game!
When the alien was in the house my heart dropped!
Creepy isn't ?
Jeez...
I really what would of happened if they would got caught in the movie.
9:31 *throws splash potion of harming ii*
All u need is destructive environments and this game will be a masterpiece. Imagine hiding in a house and a beam just takes out the roof 😮💨
That would be really cool but that might be too much. Not to mention it might be hard on people's PCs
@@davidmccall4024 Perhaps they could have damage be localized to the player's immediate surroundings that respawns back to normal after they leave the area? So if you're in a house the tripod can shoot rays through the wall or stomp a hole in the roof but you come back to the building later and it's intact. Might break immersion slightly for damage not to be permanent but if it allows them to add destruction of an occupied shelter to the game I think it would be awesome
Enviromental destruction is a planned feature, fortunately.
definitely possible, I think Unreal Engine has a built in destruction system that can optionally be used. I think this game is unity, though, but its still possible.
Why are you speaking for the Devs when you clearly don't know enough to comment
The devs said ages ago that procedural destruction was being worked on, and would be implemented in future
Stop making shit up for the sake of having an answer to a question that does not apply to you
I am still smiling that the engine sound you are hearing when the tripod is starting is actually the sound of my abrams tank starting up in the motorpool. They came to Fort Stewart, GA to take a sound recording of our tanks starting up in the motorpool. I asked what it was for and they said war of the worlds movie...my jaw dropped. makes me chuckle to hear the tank start up every time.
That’s awesome!
Just stumbled over this video and have to say I'm really impressed. You've nailed the sense of sheer dread being stuck in the house while the tentacles explore. The haunting sound of the Martians amplifies it even more
This is absolutely incredible. I mean, EVERY PART of it is, but I especially just can't get over the sound engineering. The weird pulsing sounds and walking thumps, the truly unnervingly loud mechanical "roars", and the uneasy blowing of the wind as if a major severe storm is impending; it was literally making my stomach turn in the best possible way. The terrifying sense of scale is just horrific.
As an hardcore WOTW 2005 fan, i'm just impressed by the work and all the details from the movie you added man, this is so awesome, the Tripod, Uberpod and the aliens looks amazing, all the details like the green lights when the tripod get shot wihtout his shield, and his animation when he fall on the ground it's just like in the movie, so impressed.
Its not gonna go anywhere, flipswitch games dev is an absolute numpty, he can't even finish pre-alpha on the first game he released over 5 years ago... the first issue is this game is being devved on unity.
@@denverfirebuff Phasmophobia is a good example of how shit Unity Engine is. The game's fun but has never-ending jank and bugs no matter how many patches the devs put out.
@@shane1039 you do understand that game engines have nothing do to with how good a game is? Developers have full access to modify the engine.
It's up to the developers to make a good game.
@@denverfirebuff Umm what, do you hear yourself its unreal engine 5 plus the only reasons why the lag is the amount of animations the tripods had when they were moving because he was using some form of raycasting for the legs so they would step in perfect unity with any object that had contact with.
@DanDeMan Bro. Let them work and get past pre alpha. If it's shit after its been out a bit then hate on it. Not before
This combined with the Starship troopers Extermination game coming out, I feel like a kid again.
Starship troopers mod when?
@@Osean_Kitty No idea of release date but there's already trailers for the game and such and not a mod, there's mods for the game SQUAD that let's you play starship troopers with other players but it's kinda buggy
@@edgaral Hehe, buggy
A KID? 🤤
Its not gonna go anywhere, flipswitch games dev is an absolute numpty, he can't even finish pre-alpha on the first game he released over 5 years ago... the first issue is this game is being devved on unity.
Man as a kid I was so infatuated with this movie that I was constantly drawing the tripods in different scenes, pretending I was in these scenes and trying to imagine what I would do. To think that I may be able to play a game where I literally get to play out these fantasies is just unreal. I am so excited and I know for a fact, me as a kid could simply not believe something as close to my imagination would ever come to life, so fucking excited for this!
You are a legend. This is the game I’ve always wished for as a kid. Please don’t give up on the project, you have a growing cult following for a reason.
As a kid I would always imagine giant mountain sized monsters walking towards me from an insane distance.
I’m so happy that I might be able to experience it again in video game format.
I think they're called "Redditors" :P
Howdy
@@myopinionisalwaysright1565 Howdy.
Same. I would imagine them towering over buildings in the distance. Far enough to hide from them, close enough that they would be near me soon.
IMAGINE, multiplayer with proximity chat. Your friend goes upstairs and then you hear a distant screaming that fades off. You go upstairs to check and he's gone. He gets ahold of you on a walkietalkie to say that he was abducted by one of the tripods. Man that would be SO cool!!
multiplayer is a last man standing they shouldnt have made that option which means the game is only good for singleplayer
Multiplayer and horror don't mix.
@@Skrenja if implemented properly, they mix quite well.
Actually I believe he plans to have that. There is already in game voice which the Tripods can and WILL hear. So I imagine it will be like dead before daylight and other horror games that implement stealth and hidding tactics. The noisy people will get snatched up first.
Yeah they stated that in multiplayer the tripods can hear your mic
So you should better whisper with ur friend lol.
9:30 Minecraft glass block breaking sound 🤣
The horns sound ever so slightly different from the movie is an original yet still very terrifying way. It's perfect!
The new death sequence for when the Tripods get killed looks good, though I wouldn't mind seeing a possible dismemberment feature for said Tripods in the future. Like when a missile strikes a Tripod when it's shields are down, there can be chunks of the metal armor getting blown off like in the movie.
Or a well placed shell/rocket blowing off a leg, causing it to faceplant
@@mysoupistoohot yes, that to.
@@mysoupistoohotlol yes!
Musical sound clues like L4D would be awesome to have. I don’t know if others would like it as much as I do
I literally cannot wait for this to come out. Ever since I watched WotW I've envisioned a game exactly like this and this makes me so excited that someone else had the same vision I did and is actually putting it out there.
This is a movie that needed a game just like this one for almost 20 years now. Us basically going though everything that Ray (Tom Cruise) went through in the movie is both exciting and terrifying. I can't wait for this game to come out.
Same here man
2:19 Damn the uberpod horn is terrifying!
Now we just need realistic crowds of people panicking running away and getting shredded (with gore), and a little more realistic effects for when they shoot lazers, and maybe an objective (escape the area or something)
I don't think the gore would be appropriate, since the heat rays (not "lazers") just vaporize people outright. But I do agree some sort of objective system, at least for the first day, would work.
It could be a sort of "soft tutorial", where you're free to ignore it or follow it as you wish, like "escape the area" for when the Tripod first attacks, but then once you get to a safe-ish point, then your character internally monologues. Something like "I need food/water/a weapon", or when nighttime falls, "I need somewhere safe to sleep", and then when you've survived the first day, "I need to find help."
This would serve as a non-intrusive and natural-feeling way to teach the player the fundamentals of gameplay while still keeping in line with the sandbox core feeling of the game.
@@HelghastStalker you're right, gore wouldn't cut it, rather a similar effect as portrayed in the movie, so the laser vaporizes people. Still visual effects for explosions, fire and lasers need lots of work. They're certainly on the right track!
And yes some non-invasive objective would be good!
@@KevinS47 I think they shouldn't just vaporize humans, but also maybe show where cars are melted *and* where buildings caught fire and/or collapse. The destruction needs to be a little more intense and long lasting...maybe let the heatrays leave permanent scorch marks alongside persistent destruction?
Looking great! Loved that you Included the aliens eventually getting ill and weak at the end. I hope they're still a little bit combat effective even in that weakened state just so they aren't complete pushovers. Even if they're just shooting blindly would be fine.
I agree
I was hoping we could see a couple aliens crawling out from their defeated tripod.
i’m more excited to get ahold of this than i am for any other game that will ever be made. The textures, the sounds, The AI, the cinematic feeling. UGH I NEED IT
I've just bought a tripod for my camera. After seeing this video I'm keeping it locked in the basement!!!!!!!
LOL!
More npcs and multiplayer please!! Maybe some military npcs that try to attack them but constantly get obliterated.
multiplayer would be fun as heck, everyone playing as tripods killing stuff, or all of us running around surviving, and maybe even an option for both so you got like one of your buddies playing as one of the tripods while everyone else is running away.
I just woke up from a nightmare about war of the worlds where I also had to survive. It was honestly terrifying. But seeing this video now makes me so happy
Those dreams are the most stressing and scariest ones
Bro, in my nightmare tripods was so blind
Had one myself where no matter where I was, these things would eventually come.
@@DAV_333 whats funnt is ive had over 20 dreams about this movie, and one i deadass was a tripod
@@doge3058 Nothing funny
Seeing the absolute scale and frightening aura of the Tripods and Uberpods, I can only imagine how cool and incomparably horrifying this game would be in virtual realty!
Just imagine it...
You find yourself lost in the forest, and hear the thumping of the tripod behind you. You look and see this absolute giant of metal and lights, so you hide in the nearest shack or building. You hide as best you can, and if there is a basement, you go into it.
You wait and hide as you hear the thumps get closer and closer, until.. they suddenly stop.
You think you are safe, but then hear the drone of a camera sent down to investigate the house.
You end up getting found, and, with fear coursing through your veins, you sprints towards the door to find a new house or some bushes to hide in, but it is too late.
You look up as you see the Tripod, towering you from multiple stories, and before you know it, you are picked up, and, well, we know what happens next...
i start running on its arm defying gravity before i leap to its head and start ripping its system out

The plan crash events are really cool in my opinion. Could be an opportunity to find loot such as weapons, food, clothes, etc. Adds a whole lot the emersion as well. Im so hyped for this game had it wish listed for over a year.
What about fighter jets?
@@johncarter6675 I wouldn't want to be a fighter jet pilot against the kind of weaponry the tripods pack. It'd be a death sentence.
@@Rellana1while their shields are fearsome, their little arms with the actual beam move quite slowly. It would be pretty hard for the tripod to actually hit a jet, assuming they don't have other weapons like missiles.
This game is insanely ambitious, I love it

He took it personally
2:19 I love it’s shows how loud the uberpod is by being louder that the siren
Suggestion: Make a compilation of earlier videos to show a montage of the progress of the game, to show people how far it's gotten
That montage will never end.
This is REMARKABLE work. Every time an update comes out I’m always stunned at the degree of progress you guys make! You could release this now and *still* make hand over fist. But I’m glad you guys are passionate enough about it to ensure it comes out like the movie! :)
This is insane!! The progress over the last few months has been so impressive and I'm so excited to see what this game can become, it could really be a true gem if it isn't already!
i read the description of the game and it says mulitplayer is a one last man standing while the tripods attempt to kill everyone
i dont like that idea which means multiplayer is bad

This is gonna be up there as one of the best survival horror games there is. It's still in Alpha, and already looking fabulous and terrifying. The Martians could use a bit of work though.
Hey don’t call too soon! This team clearly are even bigger nerds about the movie than we ever could be, they’re the perfect hands to put this project in! It’ll have everything you can think of I’m sure.
Not even alpha it's pre-alpha gameplay
And the humans...
2:20 Bro that sound 🤯
I really hope to see loads of NPC citizens of the map to really ramp up the chaos when shit hits the fan, and that the military presence does not just die off after like day 2
Everything is looking really good, and I got an idea for a little adition: at the part showing the tripods getting attack, you could make them to fire burst of the heatwave in an attempt to fight back, like trying to aim but being incapable of and shoting randomly anywhere, also, while getting attack by rockets, maybe make it look like is being pushed by the impact just a bit and trying to keep balance if it's posible, other than that, all the effects are awesome, can't wait to see more of this project
good idea
The sound of everything really is the strong point in this video, even just the ship pulling away as normal.
The audio work here is fantastic. Atmospheric to the extreme. Keep it up!
So hyped for this game, cant wait for release
The uberpods now sound 10x more intimidating than before! Keep up the good work!
I also love how I can see the evolution in the gameplay & graphics each time we get a new video of gameplay
I become more impressed with every new video! Props to the team, looks like it'll be a great game. Hope this project doesn't get shut down for legal reasons.
the burning Tripod well corpses having internal things still blowing up really reminds me of How Halo 3's explosions worked.
You guys may experiment with adding a bit of Bloom to the explosions. (just to make them look more impactful)

@@SherProductions11 so do I.
@@YoRHaUnit2Babe i still play Halo Infinite, but now I am waiting for war of the worlds. We should team up together
Man, so many super tense moments in this footage.

Then when the heat ray blast came out of nowhere, right next to the player.
This is just fantastic. Awesome work
This is the game I wanted as a kid, and that was maybe around 20 years ago. Where you would encounter a global/local dissaster and find yourself running away from it, with little ability to protect yourself. You have truly captured the essence of the horror atmopshere within this world building. And it really feels like the perfect horror game to release. I wonder if you are going to be able to complete it, but I like what I see.
Consider:
•Brighten the environment, outdoors and especially indoors. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but when it’s purely pitch black it takes away the fun of seeing what’s going on and actually seeing where you need to go. you can still use a flashlight, it’s just everything being pitch black is not fun whatsoever.
•Buff stamina, if you are running from giant robots that rely on a raycast spotting you and killing on sight, compared to running from ground level enemies, you should have TONS of stamina to get away. Please consider jumping not taking up stamina. Some ideas- a normal run would never take stamina, but a tactical sprint that makes you run significantly faster does, or parkour abilities such as mantling or climbing up objects or polls/rope that do take stamina.
•Ground level threats would liven up the world so it’s not just huge targets to run from, but especially ground level threat enemies that respond to the sight of the tripods and also wanting to avoid them. Enemies can be new ideas not seen in the movie too.
•Please rig the eyeballs of NPCS.
•If the tripods are gonna probe every single time, make sure every house is designed in mind with different escapes
Your advice will save this game, no doubt /s
I think the brightness is fine. Everything else I can agree on
There's no such thing as a "tactical sprint".
Did you not see those mini tripods inside the house?
I love how the sound design and visuals keep getting better and better
No way, and I was just about to go to bed too, good thing I didn't because I would have missed out on this until morning and these videos are just one of those times, I just have to watch immediately. 😅
Edit: Tornadoes 😳 as if this game wasn't cool enough, flaming trains, crashing airliners, stellar animations of the tripod being blown up and taken down, physics-based probe, Scary Uber pod, and horns, you can take on the aliens, cages with animations to match, along with all the other cool stuff we have seen in all past videos, and now...tornadoes. Raf, I'm being serious here when I say you are making my (and many other people's) dreams come true all in this one game, this one amazing package. One day I can promise you either during early access or when it's fully released 1.0, I will buy this game and support you and your talented efforts.
Now all that is left is graphics improvement 😊
I wondered why someone hadn't made this game sooner. I did a search on Steam and came across this one. I look forward to seeing the finished work. I remember seeing the movie when I was younger. One of the few that still scares me to watch.
God that uberpod's horn is both amazing and hauntingly terrifying! Please keep up the amazing work, this game looks fantastic already and i cant wait to see what else you come up with! 😎👍
definitely make when the tripods first emerge wayyy more violent. I.e screenshake more debris and harder hits on the ground
Watching the tripod come over the hill was both awe inspiring and chilling. Mostly the latter; as was watching the burning humvees roll through the woods.
Fantastic work! Keep it up. CANNOT wait to play this game!
EDIT:
1. Also, seeing the arm coming down the stairs, knowing the player went into a room that would take a severe lack of luck for it all to end; that was heart-pounding for me. I watched thinking, "It's going to come in and see him. It's coming in. It's coming IN!"
2. I'm curious if, after being captured and placed in the storage basket of the tripod, is the selection random or is that the "death animation" for that scenario? I think it would be cool to have it be random and give the player an opportunity to pull the selected person out, similar to the film.
10:27 - 10:36 "Alright, I'm cool to sneak outsi- nope."
I only started watching recently so I don't know what your goals are, but I hope you keep focusing on the atmosphere / immersion. The spooky ambience was genuinely stressing me out.
i want to play this game so badly! its so good! really good job from you guys, your allready 20 times better then any AAA game studio!
I really like the sound of what the monsters make. Omg. when this comes out. I am def gonna get it asap. Cant wait for this game to finally be released
What I want to see is the Tripods acting a bit more like hunters. They should be able to, a bit more easily, spot you from a distance and start trudging their way to your location. For the survivor, it would be a mad dash for them to break the Tripod's line of sight and flee the area as fast as they can without being spotted by more.
I say this because there is something viscerally terrifying about when those gargantuan machines are looking around and suddenly stop, turn their gaze straight at you, and then begin routing straight in your direction.
Looks great even from the thumbnail. Though, the Uberpod looks out of place considering it looks so much higher quality than the rest of the world lol. But still, keep up the good work. I'm really looking forward to this game.
The Uberpod's Horn is terrifying and I love it! You have come a long way with this development, and I'm so excited to see it in its Release Stage!
So much progress being made. Can’t believe how excited I am!
Amazing to see these iconic scenes being translated to gameplay. Stunning work as always. Keep it up!
The tripods are creepy enough on their own, but that tentacle camera thing is absolutely terrifying.. I can't imagine what it'd be like trying to dodge it knowing one false move equals discovery with the choice of a quick death via laser or a swarm of aliens.
Take as long as you need to make this game amazing. The atmosphere is there, and the calls of the tripods are amazing.
The part at 8:02 is literally a manifestation of my nightmares when I was a kid, so excited for this game holy shit.
“THE BIRDS, LOOK AT THE DAMN BIRDS”
If only mr wells was alive to see this
Agreed
The detail at the end when the pods started dying is amazing. Question, is there gonna be like a week, a day, and an Infinite invasion?.
I really hope this project makes it! I've always wanted this kind of unique fear in a videogame.
I'm actually so hyped for the release. I got so many questions on how this would definitely go based on the film. But would it be more awesome if Raf actually got the actors to play their characters in the video game including Morgan Freeman. It would've been great! But this development is awesome!💜💜💜💜
absolute respect for the progress reports. you guys have grown so much!! you guys care.
12:54 now i can die in peace
i always wanted to know the inside those tripod xd
Watching the progress over these months is amazing! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Imagine playing this with your friends running for your life as one by one it snatches all you up into the Tripods basket, I cant wait :D
dude we gotta play together!
No way you actually added the Aliens and being able to kill them 🔥 really excited for this!
Kinda wonder how something so scrawny is supposed to be a physical threat though. I feel like I could kill it with my bare hands, let alone a gun

Wasn't that kind of the point?
Im so psyched for this to come out!! this is definitely going to be a "must have" for me! I especially like the uberpod scene at the beginning with the ferry. First found out about this game about 6 to 7 months ago, and boy has this changed A LOT!!
As a neat little detail, for times when you're onboard the tripod and it sounds its horn like at 12:20, there should be some sort of deafness/ear-ringing effect along with it, just to properly convey just how fucking *_LOUD_* those horns are
I honestly didn't expect the destruction of tripods to be a possibility even though the military were present in the game. Love it.
Awesome Work! Really cool to see the drone tentacle and the actual aliens come into the house. It was definitely something I wanted to see in the game.
Why did the aliens come inside anyway? The probe didn’t see him, and they’re safe inside the giant war machines. So why come down into a random house so they can get killed by a civilian with a frikken handgun?
