Thanks, nice to hear. I won't buy the game pre-linux, but now I can hope for it (and co-op).

Hello Bare_Mettle! I was wondering if I played the game with the graphical settings turned down, and in a lower resolution, if my video card with 256mb of vram would be able to cut it. If not, I still wish you all the best - this game looks AMAZING!

Very interesting game. I've checked in on this series now and then since the Sui Generis kickstarter. Back then I wasn't entirely sure if they'd be able to make their vision of the way it was to be controlled playable, but I've been pleasantly surprised by what I've seen now that I've had a chance to buy and try it.

I both really like the controls and how they relate to the combat, yet dislike them at the same time - for now at least. Like them because they're great when you find a rhythm and how they frame the way you're interacting with the gameworld. Dislike them because I don't have the 'feel' for them yet and not in control of how I'm flopping around. It's a learning curve that I expect to maybe see slimmed down a little in the final version, but never fully disappear. That's okay though, as it's a necessary part of making a game that sets out to do something that hasn't been done (well) before. Not a lot of games expect you to grow into the gameplay, rather than it being more or less instantly accessible.

I'm looking at this game as hopefully becoming a solid title on its own, while providing a solid framework for further development on Sui Generis. This is the sort of series for me where I care less about each entry in the series trying something different and more about each one taking another step towards refining the systems. The game itself definitely needs to be fleshed out more before its finished (more content in general, expanded arena, ranged combat, etc.) but I'd say that the most challenging hurdle of the controls has mostly already been taken.

Promising game, keep it going :)

This is one of the most promising games I've seen, all that physics and every object in the environment being manageable, the AI, it's just too good to be true.

sorry Madoc

Can you write 9 words without be disrespectful with the devs. or the players of Exanima, please?
The last messages that you posted are very impertinent, hostile. Your opinions or preferences are yours, but that fact is not explanation in order to attack like you are attacking. The disdain is not respect.

@Hierosclito

your right !

I read messages once. Even more so when these messages are invasive. Things like "idiots" , "crash garbage", "liars" are unnecesary.

Seriously, calm down. Here only you, you are calling "liar" to the dev. team and that accusation without proof is only empty words, right?

Do you think that their work Exanima is pretty fraud. Any proofs, or only your senses, your accusations and your insults?

Burn the forum with rage is not good idea, I am sure all here can understand better your situation and speak with you, but stop it that attitude please. Try calm down, a bit at least.

See you.

sorry

Addiction, totally addiction and implication with the world, I love Exanima.
I feel nerves, tension, like "damn, think quickly, what is better in this situation?" and "don´t low the guard, dude" . Explore every corner; believe that for a moment shadows are in motion, and find enemy hidden, aloof, staring you and with his impressive polearm prepared.

Totally amazing, Exanima.

Incredible work, thank you very much Bare Mettle for your efforts.

Thank you for giving me a love that I have never known. <3

Seriously though,
'Exanima' is the best and most unique hack-and-slash I've ever had in my life; I've played for days and literally had forgotten - several times - on how much time had passed. I've even gotten my friends to buy it here and on Steam just because of its refreshing take. It feels like home but with more tough love.

Please Take Your Time To Update This Amazing Gift To Our World.

Look forward to the fruits of your endeavours.
