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.
I feel like it has potential. It looks better than Orion: Dino Beatdown ever did.
Alientrap does a fantastic job with their game's art styles. I suggest you check out Capsized. It's a fun little spaceman shooter that Alientrap put out last year. http://www.capsizedgame.com...
Yea, it is a lot of fun. Pretty addicting.
Yea, I'm sure they do make a ton of money off of the hats.
But you know what...so long as they're producing quality content, keeping the community happy, and not forcing players to pay for a thing while still keeping the game fair...they can sell all the damn hats, socks, and beards they want to.
