Update 39 - A Video, Playable Demo, E3 & Galleon Minerva

I wish. There is currently no release of the new song.

I am incredibly excited about the demo. The graphics, the background, and of course Yamane's music. Everything looks superb! I have never been this anxious about the E3.

...my monitor is not...

I'm sure they have fixed even those two tracks up. It was very early and they clearly just wanted something to hype the fans. In the Yamada track I definitely hear a more pronounced bell and it sounds like the organs really take hold of that version giving it a more gothic feel.

no you need a steam account to use steam, go to steampowered.com and itll walk you through dling the client and setting up an account

I have no words to describe the hype, lol, I know it's early and she's just walking around the stage but it's just so damn great to actually see it coming to life!

As far as feedback goes though, hm, am I the only one who feels the actual "kick" in the slide kick animation (0:20) should start a bit earlier? I felt like something was off in that animation ever since it was first shown (in the empty/untextured version of the map, I believe), but only thought of setting it to slow-motion this time around. I think the animation itself is good, but that the kick should begin a few frames earlier than it does.

I also agree with previous comments about the platform drop animation (down+jump on a platform) feeling a bit awkward. Seeing it again now, I'm not sure if it's even the animation itself, it may actually be because of how she seems to drop from behind the platform, rather than from its front. Notice how it looks like she's going right through it, with the transparency effect to make her visible. Again it's clearer if you set it to slow-motion, at 0:23. Sometimes, like in this video and I imagine in many other scenarios as well, it doesn't seem to make sense because the platform's is attached to a pillar or some other structure in the background, so how can she even drop from that side anyway, lol. I think it just feels more natural to have her drop from the front like in most other games, no transparency needed. I think the animation itself seems fine to me.

Things like physics on the net / rope platforms or movement on the background barrels, as others have suggested, would be really nice too. Personally I imagine it's planned and just not implemented yet, considering it's still at a pretty early point and all.

I think that's all I got, I really love this update! Looks amazing, the level itself and the background are really good, song's really nice too, it's just awesome o/

Things such as Miriam dropping through the platform and movement of objects I have nothing really to say about. I understand the desire there and more movement is always nice. I don't particularly desire it myself. I also imagine that development isn't entirely complete for this level, even though we've seen such detail... For her dropping through the platform, I'm truly indifferent on. Logic dictates given the 3D environment that she would not pop out of the 3D environment just to drop through it, but I can see the visual appeal, and so I don't really have a particular bias on this one way or the other.

Good eye. That's undeniable. In the room before it, there is a stair case up to some wall, but in the checkerboard video it is open.

maybe those are opened (or damaged enough they can be destroyed to let you know destructible walls are a thing) once the ship gets attacks and starts getting destroyed? >3
