1) New Gameplay Vid ************** Hey guys! I've got a short short new gameplay video for you if you haven't seen it already. It's just a really quick clip showing a simple in game sequence so you can see exactly what we have left to polish up before we release. It looks good, but not good enough. Check it out, read the notes in the forum post I made (they answer some questions you'll probably have), and let me know what you think.
I'm pretty swamped for the next week but I will try to post more video examples of the things we're working on. That's not a promise but I will try and do my best. It doesn't take terribly long to capture and post videos but with time at a premium I'm sure our awesome supporters would rather we work on the game itself than a bunch of bug videos.
2) Keyboard "controls" ***************** Playing this game with just a keyboard is...not so much. I mean sure it works but it just isn't very inspiring. Thank God we have a control system that uses just two buttons for 90% of the actions you'll ever do in a match. Anyone on this list work for Microsoft? Who's ass do I have to kiss to get an Xbox 360 controller coupon for every Uprising customer?
2) 70,000 Tons of Metal ************* Ok I think I may seriously be too deeply "committed" to PWX. A friend of mine is a concert promoter and offered me a FREE cruise to Mexico that will feature a whole bunch of metal bands. It's called 70,000 Tons of Metal and it sails in a few days. I could have gone all expenses paid but because I'm working hard to get Uprising released I had to turn the offer down. Admirable? Stupid? Dunno...
