Several notes 1. Needs more fog/mist to make it more claustrophobic and forces players to make slow and steady paces. 2. Have the character make noises, like hearing the breathing through the gas mask and makes grunts when being hit or running low on ammo, even make different breathing noises like near death or faster breathing to indicate fearfulness of player. 3. Have background noises like soldiers screaming and yelling, with the occasional distant gunfire being heard I know this is a demo, still in the early stages, just providing feedback
+1 on the sounds. For WW1, I would generally associate it with the constant barrage on your senses which led to shell shock. Artillery was being pumped by both sides 24/7 which would make it impossible to hear opponents on foot. Being unable to hear or see (due to fog or smoke) would make it seem more realistic to WW1 and add to the survival/horror aspect of the game. Great looking game so far.
Finally as a German! It would be cool if there were many characters featuring all countries that participated in ww1 (Italy included 😅) Kinda sad that they didn’t use actual ww1 guns
Oh lord, the comments here are extremely negative. That is the problem with gamers today, they have absolutely no clue what it takes to make a game..

@@vihuynhquang5204 this game might never be finished, or it will release unfinished. But that is ok. It should be very clear what you get if you buy this game, so if people don’t like what they get, it’s on them.

This looks like a lot of fun. I agree with some other folks, 1.More fog/mist makes more atmospheric, claustrophobic and forces the player to investigate closer instead of just shoots from far away. 2. Ambiguous background noises would be great, crows cawk, rifle shots periodically in the distance, faint screams in the distance. 3. My biggest thing is this seems more like the trenches of WW1, which i think is a fresh opportunity, they mainly had bolt action rifles, a few full auto guns, semi auto pistols and check out the trench weapons of WW!. THEY ARE BRUTAL. I think this would help give it a more survival horror feel instead of just getting a machine gun and mowing down enemies no problem. You would have a slower rate of fire with a bolt action, which could be cool and rely on melee attacks when in close quarters in the tight trenches! Good luck and I look forward to seeing more!
I'd like to see weapons authentic to that time for similar reasons you stated. This is not based in WW1 though and I don't know what the developers intentions are. And we had a badass pump shotgun so works.
This looks great for an alpha. My idea and personal advice would be to follow in the footsteps of Remnant 2 and mix it with the world of WW1 since this game gives the vibes of a dark souls-like game more than a resident evil title. I can see it may seem like re4 remake but i dont think that’ll cut it. Remnant 2 is literally alone with what it does and i think you have an opportunity to create competition for it
Also, by no means am i saying to be exactly like remnant 2. What im saying is to use remnant 2 as inspiration to make this game evolve with the ideas you already have and expand on it. The opportunity is too perfect to miss along with the lore, story, customizations, co-op multiplayer(no PvP),and to really develop an idea for worlds that can expand on these things with as many twist as you’d want
@@CMan223-tr7rb There was already one. It must have come out some time before 2017. Forgot the title, but it was about a US citizen volunteering in the British Army in 1916 or so. After a slew of most-uncanny events, he ends up in literal Hell, where he becomes a major demon and does his best to keep the powers of Hell in check and prevent them from leaking on Earth.
looks really nice! best wishes for the future! One thing that I noticed right away...the german helmets with spikes on top called "Pickelhaube" were not made of steel. The steel helmet you used for the character historically wouldnt have a spike on it. Pickelhauben were smaller and made of leather, most of the time with a cloth overcoat and the unit number printed on it. Personally I also think it would add to the tention if you had a slower firing, more authentic bolt-action rifle like a Gewehr 98 instead of a full auto SMG which the majority of soldiers in WW1 never were issued with. I also think the slow rate of fire and shortage of rounds in the clip would make the fighting a lot more tense, adding to thrilling survival horror gameplay.
This game looks great for being alpha! The horror aspect feels a little weak though, the landscape and design itself are amazingly well done but the game feels like it could benefit if you add a little more horror to the atmosphere. overall, it looks awesome. I look forward to the next update.
The setting looks amazing as ww1 is one of my favs, but for the moment nothing particularly stands out, it looks very generic, but looking forward to see more!
It's just amazing. Fantastic job, you did well. The atmosphere is really catchy. You need to add a lot of corpses of soldiers to the environment. There are a lot of corpses. Add the buzzing of flies. Add rats to some areas on the level. Add a heartbeat noise with an ear-popping effect. Add a cough for the character. Good luck to you.
@@kaostrip That's not how it works, lol. Such a common misconception but engines don't dictate how a game looks. Jusant is made using Unreal Engine 5 but looks nothing like this game. Examples from other engine, Unity, both Escape from Tarkov and Genshin Impact were made using that engine, they look anything alike to you?
it looks the same because this dev barely made anything new to add into the existing presets, assets, and game engine behavior.... you need a real artists or developer to make things thematic and with the art style thats different from the available UE premades.
@@frogman4872 yeah... first alpha demo you've seen in your life?... I mean, prob. won't be THIS empty... but don't put your hands on fire for something just because is an "alpha demo" 🤣... you could end up just as the day before youtube-lawyers...
@@1000CLPThe difference is that this game is giving updates and showing different gameplay than "The Day Before" which only showed cinematics, think about it
Hey! I helped Kickstart this game! Cool to see an alpha. What people are missing is that this isn't strictly a WWI shooter, it's inspired by the aesthetic, but more like Remnant or Bloodborne.
I try to focus on gameplay when it comes to modern games because there seems to be an obsession with visuals but it is hard to ignore them in this. The environment definitely captures that bleakness of WW1 battlefields. It looks like you are walking through Hell on Earth and the sound design makes it even that much more unsettling. The gameplay looks solid and fun. I think there should be a look over both shoulders function so you can see around corners on your left side. Also love the design of the weapons. They look like familiar weapons of WW1 but they look as if the war continued on and the weapons were made deadlier and deadlier as time passed. Definitely going to go wishlist this!
Stahlhelm Pickelhaube? mostly all were leather with the brass spike which was not just ornamental but functional to deflect sabre or sword blows. The metal Pickelhaube was for ceremonial use & was polished to a high reflective sheen. But I get the point, great gameplay & graphics are phenom.
@@1000CLP Aye. Ammo and gear conservation, mate. I mean, maybe he mastered the mysterious art of reloading bullet by bullet more than five-hundred times a minute. The magic of video games is wonderful, innit? :-)
Looks okay, I know it's alpha but you can definitely see a lot of work is needed. Lots of work on AI, sound design and level design. I really dig the idea and look of this game.

this would be a lot better if SMGs and LMGs are as rare and as clunky as they were irl with overheating, setup times, general rarity or how hard it is to find the ammo.A lot better with the bolt actions of the time which are often times really slow to reload not even with stripper clips
They actually achieved this because of the new graphical features in Unreal engine, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible for a one guy to make this. The real thing is if he can make actually a proper game with it. Not having a 20 meter long levels…
1:28 MG/08s barely had use in WW2. the Ascetic is definitely more WW1. the Germans in WW2 purposefully avoided Prussian Symbolism in uniforms, Hitler's Personal Hatred for the old system mostly. the Semiauto rifle shown is Closer to what could be Experimental Weapons for WW1, though It reminds me more of the Combat Rifle from Fallout 4.
I will honestly play anything that gets me to living out the fantasy of being a Death Korps of Krieg trooper, and this game looks promising. I absolutely hope there's a shovel to hit people with.
A little bit of weather effects such like mist, wind, rain, snow, etc would be great. The terrain looks really poor too. Some variety of vegetation and some animals/insects would increase the atmosphere and the inmersion. The map looks really dead and borring.

ждем, нужно нам поиграть
Yeah I agree I was expecting something else but this is still neat I gotta say
What it needs is smoke, artillery bombardment and gun shots in the background. It also needs ghosts and voices whispering in the air.
Being in the trenches during WW1 is a horror story in itself. This is good.

Yo I remember when dude first started making this game. I'm happy to see how far his work has come.
A combination of Pickelhaube and steel helmet, but no M16 or M35.
Is his weapon a scaled down light maxim with the air cooled brass barrel shroud?
WW1 game for German soldier - that's something a lot of people waited for. But weapons should be suitable for it's time too.
