Close Combat Bloody First (new 3D engine) now on steam and facebook BETA call

[al_infierno]

Thanks Jason for the much better explanation ;D

Re: the pathfinding... If the stream chat is to be believed, the poor pathfinding in previous games was partly a result of the sprites system.  This is a totally new engine.

in simplest terms the pathfinding was a problem with the ai trying to figure out the terrain code system overlayed on a flattened 3d map.

^ What he said plus Real Time. Great game for it's day but not without issues.

As much as I think the game looks pretty, I'm waiting for reviews (mainly here) and I still need to finish SD and I want to get SD2 before I even try this one.

Who the F thinks we have enough time to play all these damn games?  >:(

Is this you finally getting around to your long-promised Panthers in the Fog review?

How ironic, and bittersweet. He finally gets around to it, and you're not even here to bask in the glory.  :'(

Im not even bothering to sign up for the beta of this.

If he comes back to visit for that, I have no complaints!  8)

JH, I know you're under an NDA, so you may not be able to answer this, but can you tell us if this game will finally be released at least this year?  I've waited so long for a new Close Combat that I just thought I'd give the question a shot.

[Skoop]

I'm on the beta and I'll say that I have no idea when official release is.

The game's pretty playable, I'm on the second version of the closed beta, had a ton of crashes in the first version.  Those have cleaned up now. 

I would be shocked if this dragged out more than a year, so.....

[trek]

Appreciate the info you are able to give Skoop.

[Jarhead0331]

My understanding is that the game is scheduled for a release in a matter of months. The indications I have are that release is not far off at all.

[acctingman]

I see this game is Real Time. Is there a way to slow it down like in SD? If not, this is a no buy for me. For some reason RT and me do not mix.

During the twitch stream they mentioned a pause feature.

Thanks Budd
