Eternal Silence trailer and release date

[Mr. Ed]

I've played it a bit more now and I really like it.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

lol, I sure hope they know the bugs where you can jump as high as the roof if you jump in a specific way, pretty funny looking, and totally fun too

As infantry? Hmm, I've never seen that bug. Could you explain please?

Mr. Ed: Check your Controls menu and check the invert options... You need to restart the client after changes. Every option is 100% customizable.

Lads,Any alternative download sites availible? Cant seem to download off the site provided.

I like ES. I love the concept, and the art direction is fantastic.
I note that you used the skybox hackery method for the spaceflight stuff

One thing that bothers me is that I feel there's going to be a broad gap between those that pick up the space combat quickly, and those that take longer. Getting twatted by an expert as soon as you leave the hangar would be distinctly unfun. I think the complexity of the control system could put some people off, too.

Oh, and some of the screens say "monitor monitor monitor" on them

How come the release isn't in the news? D:

 

[Zeus]

Seems like a good idea for a mod, but the lag is so horrible that its unplayable at this point. I'll try again in a few days and see if the lag dies down

Yeah, the lag is unfortunately pretty bad.

Because HL2.net is slow and everyone is still doing finals.

Well then you can never say "what is that?"

If an HL2.net guy could post our release in the news, I would be grateful

*Edit* We know about the lag.

[Pi Mu Rho]

I'm sure that one of our dedicated and efficient news posters is on the case.

 

[neozero]

Yes the lag is very bad.

On a side note, the lasers aren't as bad as I thought they'd be.

Hmmmmm.

The skybox needs to be cleaned up methinks.

And weren't there going to be 3 levels abd 3 ships?

 

[Iced_Eagle]

There are 3 levels technically... Frigate, Space, and Aethra... Except we enclose them all into one uber-map.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Oh yeah, in third-person ship view, the weapon fire comes from the screen origin.

 

[Lucid]

I just played on a completely lag-free server, and I have to say...

This mod is f*cking awesome.

I'd be proud of the work ya'll have done on it.

As infantry? Hmm, I've never seen that bug. Could you explain please?

Check your PM's.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Ah thanks for that.

I've never seen that bug used, so right now fixing that jumping bug is a low priority... Thanks for letting us now.

Also, post that demo file in our forum when it's back up please

 

[bigburpco]

How big is it? My HD space is almost gone now.

 

[Krynn72]

Hey iced Eagle.

Yeah hl2.net is slow. I had to find out about this from your post in 3dbuzz.com.

I only played for like 30 minutes so far, but I really like it. Great job getting the source engine to make this work. The lag for me wasnt that bad at all. The only crit I have so far is that infantry gets raped when they board the bases. You need to put some cover in or something to make people stand a chance. At one point in the game there was just like 3 people flying around and everyone else was just camping their base waiting to get an easy kill.

 

[Seagull]

You guys planning on having a sprint like it is in HL2DM/HL2 etc?
