My boyfriend just finished the teaser, and looks like I’m not going to play this game…alone

happy gaming you two….....that is if you can play the game….MUHARHARHARHARHArHarhar

Well, I can play but I’m going to suffer later in my dreams For example I was ok with scratches…. till the end of game hehehehe. It’s goddamn silent as scratches, that’s for sure and that is the worst thing.

Hope I’ll get more courage till end of 2013.

Agustin/Senscape, the game looks and plays fantastic. Well, actually my one issue with the teaser was sorting out camera control. I switched between Fixed and Drag, and definitely like the feel of Fixed right now. However, I’m not a fan of the slight delay and slow acceleration issues. I would love to be able to hold the LMB and control the camera indefinitely, if you know what I mean. You may not even see this, but just in case, hopefully there will be some more tweaking available. I am completely satisfied with just how amazing the game looks and sounds though. Really looking forward to the game.

I agree that the camera movement was slow to accelerate. It didn’t feel too responsive and added delay to “playing” the game. But I would imagine that’s something Senscape can fix pretty easily.

The movement speeds definitely need some tweaking, even on the fastest setting it feels too slow and cumbersome to make exploration that much fun to do. Having it too fast and loose might take away from the dread of not knowing what you might see as you slowly turn around but I’m sure they can find a spot in the middle where they can have tension without making it feel like your neck is made of molasses.

Other than the camera speed though, I loved the demo and am now even more disappointed that I’m going to have to wait until 2013 to play the full game. I was nervous just playing this 5 minute chunk so I’ll probably go catatonic when they have hours to build up the tension.

Who ever said “no inventory items” needs to stay far far away from my adventure games. Inventory puzzles are still my favorite kinds of adventure gaming puzzles out there.

Great teaser, but escape did not get me out of the game. I had to use task manager.

Edit: and just like many others here, i too think camera movement is too slow

We’re toying with the idea of checkpoints/bookmarks, but a typical menu screen with save slots, no. That’s sooo 80’s

Nah, that’s sooo 90’s, when the idea was people should be in control of their games. You’re totally following the trend. How about some Quicktime events and timed button-pushing puzzles? Don’t forget to add the bings at the checkpoints.

On the practical point, without any manual save system, you’re inviting the wrath of players who encounter major bugs. Having to start over from scratch isn’t everyone’s cup of buttertea.

Agustin, are you passed out drunk right now?

we’re going to do a Kickstarter (surprise!).

Cool! Any rough idea of when the campaign will launch? We need to send the AG minions all over the web to spread news.

Dreamfall Chapters should be launching in a couple weeks. Not sure when Syberia III (your favorite, Agustin!) is going to do their campaign, though. But I imagine you know a hell of a lot more than I do about when the best time is to do the kickstarter. Looking forward to it!
