Play FotG at betadwarf.com now! :)

We currently have 3 available game slices to be played at www.betadwarf.com

We have made it possible to play 2 of the slices as single player, and my favourite is the bow slice where you get to throw fire walls with the orb :P

However - i'm sure you as game evangelists have a lot of critique you could offer us.

If you are still interested after trying the slices, please consider being a web tester for us. For that we will offer you the final game and private access to many unique slices in the future.

Det kræver vist et login for at kunne prøve?

Hey Zacker,

You actually made me consider the required registration, so instead of forcing you to register - you can now both play and comment without doing so.

Thanks for implicitly suggesting that

Very nice! And I absolutely love your approach of doing slices and publicly releasing them... I think it's an excellent way to iterate and collect valuable feedback in the process.

Kudos! I hope to give some detailed impressions later...

[Steffen Kabbelgaard]

Thanks Jesper Looking forward to those!

Det ser fedt ud, og virker ret godt.

Det bliver et spil jeg køber hvis det er couch co-op og evt. en ekstra kopi til pcen hvis der også er online co-op.

[Steffen Kabbelgaard]

Glad to hear that - both will be possible

We already have promising multiplayer tech results for online coop - and we might soon allow for that in the slices. But i'm unable to tell a specific date for now..

Alright, here are some quick impressions, focusing on the negative, ie. what can be improved:

- It's not that fun to use the bow at the moment. It's very difficult and doesn't give too much damage
- Be careful that being hit by monsters is not too painful/penalting. Right now, you can become locked, movement hindered, stop the bow from "charging" etc.
- Definitely look into how you can make the monsters paths and actions more diverse and surprising/interesting. Make them do weird, non-rational things from time to time
- Not too crazy about the Orb firewall mechanic - seems very hard to control properly

But keep going guys! Shaping up nicely...
