Mountainwheel Games is working on a Stone Age multiplayer action game, set to divide players into three teams: humans, neanderthals, and prehistoric beasts.
However, in my opinion, if a developer is going to show off a game in such an early state, they should either show you something enticing, OR promise something.
I am reserving my judgement on this game, as I do with every game before it is released. But my first thoughts are as follows:
Bland environments, BROWN everything, awful animations, and terrible pop-in (of foliage mostly.)
Again, I know this is pre-alpha footage, so I wont expect just about any of these to be the case when it hits Beta or even final launch.
But this trailer did nothing but make me uninterested in the game. Here's hoping this game turns out awesome though. I always love a good fantasy game.
The graphics look nice, but to be honest, it's nothing special. I'd rather wait till there are people, monsters, and more animations being shown before I'm impressed.
looks ok i guess, nothing jumping out at me
That camera is higher than Snoop Dogg
To answer some of your questions/comments here.
This is very, very early footage. Mountainwheel just put it together to show off the visual concept of what they're aiming for.
"Brown everything"...you've only seen one level in the video. Look at the indieDB page, there are screenshots of a snow level, too.
