[@PsychCow]

When you went underwater it reminded me of the line from futurama where their ship is getting dragged to the bottom of the ocean "How many atmospheres can she take?" "Well she's a space ship... so anywhere from 1 to zero..."

[@DarrylCross]

I admire the Dev's decision to have the dialog in a constructed language. I know that there are some people it will annoy, but personally I love it. I wish we had more of that in the Fantasy and Sci-Fi space. It is the detail in worldbuilding that almost always gets glossed over, but it can do so much to sell the culture, the history, and how the people view the world around them. It's one of the things, alongside the architecture and cinematography that Splat mentioned at the end, that really tell me that the people working on this actually care about the setting they're trying to sell us on.

[@steele5823]

I imagine they chose that route to save on localization costs

[@SomeKindaSpy]

Absolutely agreed

[@showcase0525]

The ConLang folks should have a interest in this.

[@CoolSs]

same

[@Raycheetah]

Sounds a bit like Creole, to me. There are definite linguistic cognates with English in the vocabulary, as might be expected with a Latin-derived patois. =0[.]o= ETA: ...At least the first bits of dialog. The character of the language seems to change starting with the farewell. =0[.]o=

[@SomeKindaSpy]

"This is like one of those Akalabeth universes where you can either get a horse, or a spaceship at the local blacksmith..." to be honest, I think in the far-flung future, that's a lot more likely a scenario than we may think.

[@vescovinator]

I will say as a demo it has certainly got my interest That was probably one of the most beautiful demos for a game I've seen

[@wedgeserif556]

As I watched this beautiful demo of a stylish, creative game that's an obvious labor of love for everyone involved, and the rocket ascended into the unknown, all I could think was, "What, no gravity turn?" Sucks being a nerd sometimes.

[@krdxz]

I'm no expert, but I'm guessing the turn is needed if you are trying to orbit. If you wanted to fly out to space I suppose you could just fly out straight.

[@todorus]

@@krdxz I have enough hours into KSP to know that that is an EXTREMELY inefficient way to do things. Not to mention the amount of control you would need to start an interplanetary burn when you need to account for atmospheric drag and winds.

[@krdxz]

@@todorus I think you are right. Key here might also be planet's rotation, which I believe is being used to help "fling" spacecraft into space. If you just fly straight up not only you are not taking advantage of rotation, but also have to counter for it.

[@brantemery]

Amazing, feels like someone merged the original DUNE and Interstellar into one experience. Brilliant demo.

[@DoomedPaladin]

I absolutely LOVE how, despite the game's attempts to create a deep and somber atmosphere, Splat's irreverent bullshittery just torpedoes its butt right out from under it, lol!

[@JDM12983]

You mean: his constant, and never ending talking.....

[@ezequielblanco8659]

It is intriguing for sure. But I'm not sure what will be the game like... Are there gonna be decisions to make in the walking/talking stages? Or is the story linear? Will we be able to fly the ship anywhere on an entire world? From the demo, it looks like a ship driving phase followed by a little narrative phase. The visuals sure look astounding, can't deny that, and the story is certainly ominous and captivating, but I'm worried about what the gameplay loop will be like.

[@rogerreger9631]

Game sure is beautiful and probably great to play. But I know that my PC would most likely burst into flames in the first 3 seconds of start up of the game.

[@continuumsanctum869]

Time to upgrade from your Windows 95 286DX2 PC 😂🤣

[@miroz0181]

Oh bloody nora same 🤣😭

[@IRMentat]

lighting, fog n wave fx without much else going on. Looks more like an engine show-reel than a game so depends on igf anything else ever shows up or if it's purely a "float over the ocean" affair or more like "Desert Strike" where you are engaging with the locals, no weapons in the demo so I suspect some form of walking-sim via skimmer/vtol/hovercraft

[@crawfordmatt]

The age old question "Can I run it?" thankfully there is a website that can help answer that question!

[@continuumsanctum869]

@@crawfordmatt _If it's on Steam, they write the min/rec specs down..._

[@Elhazzared84]

I wouldn't call this a demo to be fair. It's a presentation of the stage the game is setting you up to with some light interactivity on the piloting the ship to the destination part. I did like what I saw, it was pretty high quallity but actual gameplay and mechanics is what is important to show to people.

[@caret_shell]

I was kind of hoping that "scramjet" wasn't just a name they picked because it sounded cool, but ah well. Ramjets and scramjets are really neat and kind of sci-fi-ish, but even a sci-fi scramjet wouldn't be a scramjet if it worked from a standstill. A scramjet only ignites and produces thrust if you're already going at supersonic speeds when you try to start it, so it doesn't really fit the game mechanic.

[@nazaxprime]

As an aviation specialist that has worked on structures, powerplants and everything in-between, you could totally get it started from a standstill assuming you could initiate the compression cycle and endure the transition from 0 thrust to whatever amount you will apply to the frame. I get your point, but yeah, it's my niche. I literally inspected the F-14 on on it's sunset cruise, along with the rest of the fleet, so...👍👍 Mind you, I will give you points for feeding the intake with the volume it would need to maintain compression, and also mention the complexity of transitioning from different atmosphereic densities, but that's a tale for another time... Perhaps about when we get to the part where we operate it in different liquid mixtures. 😂

[@DrunkenWizardBattle]

@@nazaxprime nice! you do kind of sound like a dick flexing on this guy when he wasnt questioning your credentials - but speaking as another person with far too many letters after my name i bet you dialed it back a bit with the edit hahaha - i totally get that annoyance when you see armchair experts regurgitating a popculture + 1 level of technical knowledge as if they wrote the book. so flex on! - i bet thats been a cool ass career, but maybe not - I actually hate mine now. Ive learned so much about things i dont really give a shit about and pushed the sum total of human knowledge a little further on molecular interactions at the atomic scale and how the physics of these can be exploited for supramolecular assembiles... but fuck me as i look at half my lifes work does it bore me to tears now. Perhaps its the same for you. Perhaps like for molecules to me the fast jets have lost their luster, the turbines have ceased to glisten and the only joy this knowledge gives you now is the ability to shit on people who think they could get to the moon cos they played enough kerbal space program to explain what delta V is to their disinterested family at thanksgiving.

[@nazaxprime]

@@DrunkenWizardBattle Nah, not flexing, friend, just sharing and trying to add a little to the conversation since he seemed to like the tech and sometimes people take interest in the whole F14 thing. If I was gonna flex I'd have mentioned being an industrial radiographer or heavy haul trucker. XD I think my edit was adding I bit about atmospherics. I get the booted to tears thing though, most of these things that sound cool come with so much baggage they're hardly worth it. Ind I can't flex too hard as a trucker, I've only enough miles under me to make it a bit farther than the moon. 😂 That, and not much impresses me anymore, so I don't really even think to flex. In fact, the only thing that impresses me anymore is passion. If you have that, then we have something to talk about. For me, that means creative design, and any armchair QB can swing that club, so, I guess that makes me a man of the people. 😀

[@Here_is_Waldo]

@@nazaxprime I was wondering about the term scramjet as well, but that's neat that there is a real-life version that could work. Assuming the sci-fi tech takes care of the compression cycle and acceleration, as you pointed out. A little bit of hard science thrown in helps to smooth out the more outlandish concepts, I think.

[@nazaxprime]

@@Here_is_Waldo With enough money, anything is possible. XD

[@dayegilharno4988]

I soo love it when Splat is entirely in his element with a game... There's nothing more relaxing for me on a hard day's night then watch him discovering another gem!

[@vadanzam8325]

This demo reminded me of the first book of "Bobiverse Series". Premise is different, but dying world, mission to find a fitting colony destination, leaving everyone you know behind... Certainly have some similarities in overall mood. Now I want to re-read it...

[@Muenni]

5:31 No, Splat, what are you doing!? Don't skip the horse!

[@BuranStrannik]

Wow holy mashed potatoes. Such a strong instance of goosebumps from a game is so rare to see. Whoever directed this intro, must go make movies, NOW. Thanks for highlighting this one, they deserve it.

[@ts25679]

The sound track should sell well, even if the game doesn't live up to expectations.

[@MrNovaStreams]

Man, for low-poly, this was cinematic as fuck.

[@VideoGameSophistry]

I'm VERY excited for this game. As always, you are invaluable service for those that love games. I've discovered dozens of hidden gems from your work

[@banaman7746]

not gonna lie... you had my interest at the very beginning with "from the creators of superbrothers" ... as you were playing with the flight, it looks amazing, and definitely worthy of keeping an eye on... and then the ending sneak peek happened, and I'm definitely wishlisting. it looks absolutely amazing.

[@williambristol8811]

10:10 "I have two speeds, stop in the garage and 3 figures." I Love it 😀 😍 ❤️

[@nemoralis4713]

The atmosphere. art style and music are quite beautiful. This is definitely going on my Wishlist. Thanks for showing this, SplatterCat 👍

[@templarthade]

Splattercat casually name-dropping Alkalabeth.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Hmm, they definitely didn't reveal much about the game play other than fly thru ring/gate to get to next ring/gate. I really hope there's more to it than just fly-by-wire as they call it. Throwing it in the ole' wish list for a look at a later date. Thanks Splat...

[@murasaki848]

5:56 When examining a spaceship for purchase, don't kick the thrusters or slam the hatches. 25:00 The thing about real physics is the realities of space travel are rather depressing. Read sci-fi that takes time dilation and the lightspeed barrier into account, like Arthur Clarke's 'The Songs of Distant Earth' or Joe Haldeman's 'The Forever War'. They illustrate the fact that pretty much every interstellar voyage, even if we come up with fantastic power sources to drive them, will by definition be a one-way trip, because even if you return, you will know nobody and practically nothing about your home will even be recognizable. One of my lines from a play I was in comes to mind: "I didn't go to the moon. I went much further, for time is the longest distance between two places."

[@Steve_Hickman]

This isn't something I can say about many games I've experienced, but this was truly mesmerizing.

[@foobar1735]

Ah yes, my 3 Slavic friends... Misha, Pasha, and Jones :D

[@nealc.6927]

This has all the hallmarks of Russian Sci-fi . . . I do love me some cerebral futurism.

[@TehJumpingJawa]

Walking up those steps, with the chanting crowd looking on felt very messianic to me; kinda like the Fremen first meeting Paul on Arrakis in Dune.

[@SirFace4]

I loved the Organ hit when the Engines fired up, EPIC!

[@scaleworksRC]

This seems like one of those games that feels like an interactive movie and I'm all for it. Way better than just sitting there vegitating.

[@ChrisKoe]

Don't know if this is my type of game. But aesthetically, this is a stunner!

[@danw3735]

Some people are just artists with programming and design, this is one of those instances.

[@raygun38]

my buddy and his kid are in benecia. his backyard has an extensive view of the refinery. Turkeys come and hang out all the time too.

[@walken31st]

LOL, I don't live very far from Martinez either and you nailed it. 😆 Also, very cool demo. Thanks for introducing this to us. The visuals and music during the launch sequence reminded me a lot of Blade Runner (both films). I'd definitely be interested in a follow up playthrough once the fuller version is released.

[@simonpedneault8804]

hey bud, i discover you not so long ago... you are a very good content creator. ty for the work you are putting into this. gg

[@robertmulroney526]

I can almost remember their funny faces That time you told them you were going to marrying soon And Jet I thought the only lonely place was on the moon! wooowhooo whoohoo

[@rmeng3]

I agree with your summary at the end of this. Would have been nice to see what the actual gameplay loop will be. Based on the bit of gameplay they did give us, it looks a lot like "Exo One." Really fun game, but for all of the cut scene gravitas, I hope there's more to this one.

[@johnf4085]

The weird hats and weird language and weird mysticism makes this smell like EYE Divine Cybermancy

[@zappedguy1327]

Weird Games are why we are here.Thanks Splatt

[@thealuveaux8037]

Man, the musical score is bonkers. Quite epic.

[@Baraz_Red]

Only thing I did not like here were the prompt sounds, like the ping sound during the first dialogues (after each line). Or the different ping sound when you cross the waypoints on the sea. They are not necessary and hurt the immersion.

[@SilverionX]

Tonight on the show, when Splat and any attempt at serious storytelling collide. 😂

[@jaksilver3656]

beautiful intro, hope we get to see more of the actual gameplay soon

[@xRADioactive17x]

Splat I live in Sacramento, so every-time I hear you talk about some various landmark in California I’m like “oh hey I know that place” lmao

[@poeticartist2nv]

The video was atmospheric but that ending... Wow

[@DrBunnyMedicinal]

Well, that was atmospheric AF. Let's see how things turn out once the full game becomes available. After watching this I don't especially feel the need to try the demo for myself.

[@underarmbowlingincidentof1981]

man... I love superbrothers and didn't even realize this game came out...

[@anthonysantos3629]

4 minutes in and I got a vibe of the game "starship titanic" and old Mac game(as far as I know) that was a puzzle type game that was actually Hella cool, just the vibe I instantly remembered from seconds in lol

That was one classy demo. Awesome stuff!

Hello sir, Will you do the Splatter Awards of the year as a way to tell what were the best games of 2022 for each category such as : demos, early access, released and the like ? Idea to be put in the idea box of the splatter castle (right at the entrance slightly on the left) Thank you

3:41 Mount and Blade meets Kenshi vibes here

[@bullzebub]

man! thats some serious machine translations in this game...

[@Nekoyashiki-san]

Thanks for showcasing! ^^

[@Transmissional]

And, on the 1000th year...another ship pulls up right next to em'...turns out humanity solves their problems and just made better tech and it took them only a year or so...wouldn't that just be...aggravating. I love the visual style of this game it looks super cool, clean, and with tons of symbolism. I do so wish I could hear better though...I'm just imagining how good that musical score and sound design were. The singing chanting, I kinda wish there were maybe background subtitles just for some accessibility reasons? Maybe thats dumb I don't know but I hear stuff I miss stuff ^_^ I am looking forwards to this though.

[@lonelycat7846]

Wow this game is beautiful

This is extremely weird, and thus completely in-line with what I expect from anything coming from Quebec…

[@CM-se5ow]

Yo Splatt I know you have a few connections with endie devs can you talk to a few solo you feel that could come up with a combined game. Maybe we can help kickstart it off just a idea.

[@TheDestyl]

nice looking epic journey :)

[@OrionTheta1]

Move this scene to Earth and here we are after Polluting our Planet beyond saving, forced to send our youngest and brightest into the Stars to begin anew. I suspect the Dev's are just looking ahead into humanities future about 100 years... :(

[@villings]

wow now all they need is to make a game that live up to this

[@villings]

*pushes glasses up there's no "cinematography" in an entirely virtual/fake environment what I think gamers mean when they talk about "cinematography" in a game is the "cinematic qualities" of the game (presentation, music, etc)

This looks like a snoozer tbh

[@Cuthawolf]

Looks beautiful, and I might play just for the story honestly. But if the only gameplay is the ship stuff shown in the demo...mmmm.
