The campaign suffered the most from that aspect, but we had a lot of fun tools to play with in regards to making some engaging PvPvE multiplayer before that was a mainstay online.

I've always had a soft spot for "RE:ORC" despite its flaws, and I'm glad that there's still folks playing 💜

Overall, the game reviewed pretty poorly but always had a dedicated online audience.

The criticisms were largely valid, but we were also hit with "it's not RE enough, wait for RE6" complaints a few months before that came out and everyone realised that action was the new franchise direction.

That's awesome to hear, I'm glad it still holds up!

I worked on the multiplayer for this, what a blast from the past. Nice to know some folks are still holding on.

Thanks for sharing these impressions. The chance it'd run like Sc/Vi was putting me off (which seemed confirmed when they weren't letting anyone cover it) but this seems totally within expectations.

I was super comfortable with how Arceus ran and looked, and this looks a bit more like that.

People got OPINIONS. Why isn't more of the internet just weirdly disproportionate beef with fragrances rather than what we ended up with!?

“To pull off this finale, these two characters need something they can’t bear to lose. They also have a ton of chemistry and palpable, simmering tension.”

“Lots of fan art about them kissing, sir.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“…Better make them roommates.”

Yeah, in hindsight that's a lot more believable given how they've reacted.

Apparently the only real artist part of the assets was the original bird / main logo (in collab with studio founders)... so the weird hand was intentional. According to their post about it yesterday, at least.

I do wonder if the artist they paid had some notes on that.

There's a whole third of my career of ~6-7yrs where I had the same happen.

They were awful crunches and rife with toxic leadership, but also some where I got to develop really cool skills that are now near-impossible to show to hiring teams.

If you have played this Demo, please do leave a review on it! It really helps us out for complicated computer reasons I do not understand.

If you HAVEN'T played the demo yet, please do, even if you're planning to get the full game! Just downloading it helps an algorithm do a job, or something.

WAIT WHAT'S THIS?

💿There is a demo live for EARTH MUST DIE!

🕹️This gives you (most of) the tutorial section for the game! Have fun, and if you haven't wishlisted the full game yet DO THAT NOW PLEASE it really really helps us out.

Enjoy!

I'm sure there's almost a complete dev team of ex-BioWare folks (myself included) that would also jump at this.

Does anyone know where we can get bags of money?

Could just be placement of the delay, especially if you have conditional logic that might change during.

Have you confirmed with debug that the overlap bool/event is actually being set as you expect? Could be a case where the collision settings aren't aligned so it's not flagging IsInside.

Also not the first time a company has used "rushing toward a deadline" as an excuse, and in this case it's seemingly arbitrary given it's just an announcement of the studio's existence and not an IPO, etc.

Nevermind the implications of poor prioritization and preparedness the defense communicates.
