Special Guest:
This week Bammsters have Josh Grafton of the game Angels Fall First, a combined-arms sci-fi wargame, talking about the current state of the game, where it all started, and where it is heading!
Angels Fall First, by Strangely Interactive, started out as a mod many, many years ago, and only later ended up being a stand-alone game. Josh tells us about the early days, about being a small but diverse team spread our geographically, and about the project going on strong through multiple iterations. We also discuss which older games served as inspiration, and might just have given away our respective ages as we discuss games from 3 decades ago.
The game is available on Steam, under the Early Access category, and by golly, it is an awesome “little” shooter.
EB: Epic has posted a Gamescom sizzle reel for the Unreal Engine that features all of the new titles, and a few past ones, that are using the game engine to bring them to life. It’s literally full of one impressive looking game after another, which shouldn’t surprise many gamers considering the wide use of the engine in most AAA games.
