    Head bob is interesting to me cuz there really isnt any in real life. Yes your head bobs when you walk but your eyes are stabilized by your equilibrium so you dont ever notice the head bob, so having noticable head bob is actually unrealistic

      You have head Bob in real life. Our eyes don't stay focused on a single point the way they do in video games. So you don't notice it. Go try to catch a long flyball or catch a pass in a football game. As you're running with your eyes locked on that ball you sure as hell have head Bob.
      But you're right. It had no place in video

    The fact your hand gets chopped off in the beginning is such a brilliant way to explain away the floating weapon.
    Just walkin' around with your own severed hand telekinetically slashing your enemies to bits...
    I think I might love this game already.

    • @anoldbeggar9742
      @anoldbeggar9742 Před rokem +22

      That's not actually why you have the floating hand. The floating hand is just aesthetic, the chopped off hand is meant to explain why you can't use your offhand. This is also elaborated on with a shield which says "*usually* wielded in the offhand"

    Lunacid is incredible and I’m stoked to see splat check it out! Also: If you love the King’s Field series and haven’t played Shadow Tower or Shadow Tower Abyss (which From also made and are a lot like King’s Field but meaner and scarier), then you absolutely should. Lunacid is actually closer to Shadow Tower than King’s Field, tbh.

    9:40 I heard that originally people read out loud. Reading quietly to yourself is actually a relatively new thing, culturally. Probably from the increased literacy. It wasn't a big deal to read out loud when you were the only person who could read.

      Well, it just take some 'extra curricular' practice (I mean, it is not hard but school doesn't teach it to kids) . But I do agree that reading in your head is different skill set than reading to yourself

    The King's Field franchise hooked a special spot in my heart. My dad let a friend move in when I was a kid and he used a PlayStation as his first month rent, with a couple controllers, the memory card and a few games among them KF2. Years later when we get a PS2 and the Cursed City, which I didn't say the time was KF4?5? Any way much love and nostalgia for the franchise, would love remake Etc. Etc.

    Side effects of Lunacid can include insomnia, drowsiness, constipation, blurry vision, disturbed sleep, motion sickness, excessive electrical bills, damaged keyboards and monitors, loss of familial and romantic relationships, or desire to consort and ally with dark powers. Talk to your streamer and ask if Lunacid is right for you...

    Been smashing this game out for a few days now and it's INCREDIBLE. I hope we get more Kingsfieldlikes in future that do really cool things with art/gameplay/lore etc
    I know they're adding a little more to the final version of this game but damn several more levels isn't enough. I hope this developer feels compelled to build on this in future with a sequel or another successor.
    And YEAH.... From Soft needs to do new first person RPG's again like Kings Field and Shadow Tower but with their amazing modern art style!!!

    Splatter I know exactly what it's like having that overwhelming feeling to collect everything that is extremely hard to ignore, I often burn myself out on games about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through the main story because I can't stick to main missions without getting distracted. I am having that problem right now with dying light 2, I feel like I'm 3/4 through the main story but I'm kind over it because I was just doing to many side missions and random activities that I would walk into on my way to a storey mission, 2 hours later I realise that I haven't done and story missions yet. It's really hard to stop myself playing that way.

    This is a huge homage Shadow Tower and Shadow Tower Abyss. King's Field too, I suppose. The Shadow Tower games aren't quite the same as King's Field, they're a little more surreal and mysterious, albeit they do have similar gameplay. But the Scythe girl is a dead give away to which game they specifically wanted to emulate, which is Shadow Tower/Abyss. I am so glad the indie scene has finally moved into games like this. I hope the people making this have nothing but success.
