lineus Tech tips coverage of pxs 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:10.160
and steel series hey guys we're here at the Indie Mega Booth checking out load

00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:14.759
out and as far as I can tell this game is about insane amounts of customization

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.560
and just mad amounts of insanity is there anything else you can add about

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.439
this game well I mean that's that's the basic thing yeah it's completely mad so

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:24.800
uh the big thing about it other than that is that um a lot of player

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:28.760
empowerment in terms of like being able to invent your own weapons so we've got

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:32.320
a modular weapon crafting system there's billions of combinations you put pieces

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:38.360
together and you invent whatever weapon you can invent with the pieces you got and there's some crazy combinations out

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.520
there really up to the player play Style and what you want to do with your weapon

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:46.160
and when he says billions of combinations he isn't exaggerating there

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.680
are actually billions of combinations so if you're the type of person that wants

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:52.760
to Tinker with things and make your own thing that's unique to you you can

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:57.879
actually do that with this game exactly you were describing something to me yesterday which was a sniper rifle that

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:00.680
shot rockets that blew up and healed people that's right yeah that's exct

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:05.600
when when they keep thing there is you also put the proximity Detonator on it

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:09.280
so that you can fire sniper grenades across the level they stick and then

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:12.640
when people need healing they can run by them and the proximity timer goes off

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:16.159
and it heals them in a in like a cluster of flak now all of those pieces there

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.040
that's a like I just described like eight different modules that make one gun you could change any of those like

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.600
you could change it to Fire and now instead of being healing it's an unfriendly surprise to the enemy uh yeah

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.040
it's that sort of thing there's no classes in load out so you really Define

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.320
your class by the weapons and your play style which is very cool because a lot

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:38.040
of people like I just said earlier a lot of people that like the customization part being able to make something that's

00:01:35.479 --> 00:01:40.640
unique to them you can that that can be brought to the most ridiculous degree in

00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:46.200
this game everything about this game like I said earlier Insanity the amount of everything in this game is insanity

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:49.840
um what's your favorite part about this game is it the customization okay so the

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:54.560
favorite my favorite part of the game is the fact that because of the customization you can play any role you

00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:58.680
want so I am not good at the enclos fighting like I die a lot of the time so

00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.840
I play more of a support role and I do two things with that one is I got a

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:05.640
healing gun that lets me stay at medium range and heal people so I can stay out

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:08.959
of the battle but still heal and the second thing I do is I like being a

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.480
sneaky jerk and so I've got a remote control rocket that I can fire all the

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:16.040
way across the level and blow people up so between those two I'm like this

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:19.400
interesting long range medium- range support guy and I don't ever have to get

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:23.599
into Close Quarters battles where I know I'm going to lose that's interesting

00:02:21.519 --> 00:02:27.840
because a lot of people will complain in games and like similar to this style

00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:32.519
that say someone will go sniper and they find they're not very helpful to the team even though they might be whatever

00:02:30.519 --> 00:02:36.280
it goes back and forth but that sniper could shoot healing

00:02:34.239 --> 00:02:39.200
bullets at that point in time he's Now helpful to the team exactly yeah you in

00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.800
fact you could even have two weapons one's your sniper headshot killing and

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:45.879
the other is your sniper healing and now you're this weird sort of like combo

00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:49.599
sniper if that's the role you want to play that's your class that you've made

00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:52.959
do it you know that could be very effective something that you described

00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:56.480
to me yesterday again was the guy that made the he he would shoot out grenade

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.360
mines things that would follow him around and then automatically go on a

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:02.640
laser target yeah and that's and that's part of the of balancing this game we've

00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:08.440
had a great Community we can gather a lot of data on what they're doing what's effective so we can balance basically

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:12.480
with their help one guy made um he made a a laser guided missile bouncing

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:15.400
missiles he put bouncy on the missiles and then he would shoot out a whole

00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:18.640
bunch of them all at once and then he had like all these bouncing Minions that

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:22.840
would follow him around the level and then because it was on laser guided whenever he wanted somebody to die he

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:26.519
would just point a laser at them and all the missiles would suddenly leave him

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:30.000
and jump on that guy and blow him up um which is pretty awesome strategy we had

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:33.080
to Nerf it a little bit but it's still a viable thing to do so that's very cool

00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:38.159
and it's nice to see that you guys are actively responding to different things that people are going to create because

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:42.080
you think balancing more simple games is hard imagine having billions of

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:46.439
combinations and trying to balance that so I definitely understand it's still in

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:50.080
beta correct we are currently in uh Early Access so it's a closed beta early

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:53.319
