I kind of lost interest in this when it switched from top-down to side-scrolling. Downloading the trial anyway and keeping an open mind.

Hehe, the sidescrolling is what made me interested in the first place.  Reminded me of actraiser.  :D

Well this seems interesting...

Anyone interested in seeing what it looks like without downloading the Demo itself? I would be happy to Livestream it...

Holy elemental overkill, batman. An Ice Age character wearing a snowsuit you make out of a quartz gives you 1000% Ambient Cold resistance. I can run through a windstorm snow area and take zero damage (if I'm actually taking any, I'm not seeing it appear above my head), who knows what else that could entail.

Also, Yes to livestream, I'd like to see how other people play it.

Heh, I tuned in for a little bit and that is all I saw.  Hopefully this changes before release.  :)

Interesting ideas, fun gameplay..but the dungeons are dull as hell and samey, empty rooms with nothing really to collect most of the time. Also the graphics are REALLY jarring - the character art just doesn't match anything else at all.

Hey cupogoodness, re Steam--

Does that mean if I buy it now, I can plug it into Steam later and it'll let me download from them without rebuying it? I know you can't say for sure now, but in your experience.

Steam really is my preferred system; it's a VERY rare non steam game that I buy (I reformat often and it saves key-related headaches).

I'm almost 100% certain that if we're on Steam you'll be able to plug-in your previously purchased key (wherever you bought it from, us, impulse, gamersgate, etc.) and plug that number into Steam to activate the game. It's how it has worked on our past two games with the service, so if/when we get on I don't see how it would be any different.

Hope that helps!

I don't think I posted these here yet, so for those interested (and/or aimlessly wandering around screaming "WHAT THE HELL MAN?") please have a glance at:

The game's starter guide -- http://christophermpark.blogspot.com/2011/09/valley-without-wind-getting-started.html

Locales and enemies of Environ -- http://christophermpark.blogspot.com/2011/09/valley-without-wind-locales-and-enemies.html

Also note it's a major milestone for us, but we're just getting started development-wise adding more and more to this game, as well as improving it (thanks to viewers like you!)

Number one tip I'd give to everyone: if not on your first two slots (your mouse left and right keys), at least have a 0-mana spell on the reachable part of your toolbar, so you can easily still battle while mana-less. Of course, I've never been far enough that I have run out of mana-regen items yet but I assume that'll happen eventually, and on higher difficultues.

0-mana spells are nice for taking apart things like various ore veins and gem veins, if a bit slower than just blasting at them.

I have not actually found any ore veins. Anyway, I use 0 mana spells for common enemies, and then high-mana spells for bosses.
