Hello.
It has been awhile since we have indulged in a video, so we felt that now would be a good time.
Before you watch, there are a few things you need to take into consideration.
1. This was an internal video made by Dram, but we decided to package it up and release it publicly.
2. Everything you see is a Work In Progress. Nothing has been completely tweaked or finalized.
3. You will notice plenty of glitches. (particle effect issues, some footstep sound problems) We're aware of them.
4. The AI are nowhere near finished.5. Voice sets are development placeholders.
That being said, we wanted to show you how far we've come. It has been a very long journey thus far, and we still have a long way to go if we are to make our 1.0 release date of December 2008.
Could we use help? Yes. Do we hope this video will inspire those of you with the required skills to help. Yes, we hope it does.
Ideally, we could use help from some experienced programmers in getting the AI up to speed sooner than later. We certainly have people with the necessary skills to complete the task, but if we can get it done sooner, then we will have much more time for tweaking.
So, I'll shut up now. Here is a lower res version of the video. If anyone can host a higher res version, please let me know. The high res version is around 50 megs.

Don't over analyze the video. Just enjoy it for what it is...a work in progress preview. We're aware of the faults and shortcomings.

Thanks Gold. I'm just going to do a slightly better version and then I'll send it to you. I can squeeze a bit more quality out of the 300 meg source file. :)

That's really, really nice! This monitor is really dark and I can't wait to watch it later on a better one to see more of the details. I only wish I had time to help the team out right now.

Love it! Very polished and impressive. Looks kinda contrast-y though (vs the rich, subtle tones of T2), like a limited choice between well-lit or overpowering darkness. Although it's probably just cause you have the brightness jacked up on the video.

Yup, I pumped it up to appeal to as many different monitor types as possible. It's much better on your own setup. :)
