Windblown First 15 minutes of Single Player

Join us for the first 15 minutes of Single Player gameplay in Windblown! In this short (ish) video, we'll take you through the basics, as you'll experience what it's like to step into the shoes of a Leaper for the very first time. We won't spoil too much though, as you'll need to dive into Windblown yourself later this year to see how fast you can really go!

What a dash!

[@grogpod_roguelike_podcast]

Hyper Light Dead Cells

[@C0MRAD_NAp_B0ULE]

Gotta slow it down, I wanna see the aestectics of the surroundings, or alittle more engagement with it via platforming. What's the point having all floating landings and the dash just trivializes them.

[@demibutduck]

​@@C0MRAD_NAp_B0ULErealistically, if players want to do that then they can do it themselves, nothing really has to change for the dash to influence they imo

[@_Zeruca]

@@C0MRAD_NAp_B0ULE Mark my words..... this game is just going to be "spam dash the game" but all the fanboys from their previous game will say its GOTY material.

[@trdoe]

Y'all made my favorite game and now making another banger, i cannot wait fr

[@cwu-i8b]

It is fun to see how the design of the mobs and mechanics of the game are inspired, therefore so similar to dead cells😂 But ngl I am excited to see how Windblown will develop through time. Go Motion Twin !!

[@Dromaeosaurs]

Even some sounds are just deadcells sfx with a different pitch

[@Nickgamer724]

all i can say is that please, PLEASE dont abandon this project or anything. ive seen so many good games potential that goes abandoned by many reason. maybe im just too afraid and paranoid this would happen to windblown, but im sure you guys wont dissapoint me! and us! im looking forward to when it will be released, and ofcourse, buy it!

[@balintszeder6455]

its made by the creators of dead cells, they still update their games to this day to i do not think they won't with this one

[@rocketsimp]

​@balintszeder6455 Not true. You must of missed all the drama where they suddenly announced the end of Dead Cells early this year. That and Motion Twin is well known for leaving its communities on a whim

[@balintszeder6455]

@@rocketsimp oh wow, well thanks for that info

[@YoBrand15]

​@rocketsimp you cant say theh all of a sudden abandoned dead cells... i mean seriously? Lol they poured a ton of effort into that game. They dont owe the community anything at this point

[@Squiggy2010]

​@@rocketsimpA whim? Dead Cells had years of updates and new content added.

[@chaitanyamukkavilly590]

With that awesome dash, I would like a game mode where I'm able to compete in a race to see who is the first to cross the finish line over challenging terrain with traps and stuff.

[@StephenColtharp]

Along this line, would the game have local co-op? It seems guaranteed that online multiplayer will happen, but what about playing together at home?

[@xecense]

I can't get over how good the movement looks, as a game dev myself its so nice to see such care a polish taken to get the simplest mechanics feeling good ! hats off to you dev team, you should be proud of this gem you've cooked up

[@LimeyLassen]

Making the hot springs take a little time is clever, it's free for normal people but a cost to speedrunners.

[@jevmenyt3422]

finally the team's 3D modeling skills can be shown in better environments

[@hilmiyahya3027]

Im with this game since the first announcement, and seeing how the comment section develop from "how dare you kill dead cell for this game" etc, to "wow, lets throw money and play this game fast" really is warming, i feel you guys at team motion accomplished some major milestone in this industry

[@roguezen]

so excited, can't wait to get my hands on it (the music goes so hard)

[@Mellowkin]

Things look really snappy and satisfying, quite like the ost so far also 😊

[@jade-chan9122]

I love how chaotic it can be, the fact that dash has no cooldown can it's amazing! Please don't change that So exicted for this!

[@dodgeseriously2090]

It certainly has a cooldown. However it seem to refresh on new ground you stand.

[@jade-chan9122]

@@dodgeseriously2090 but they appeared to used it quite freely even when on the same platform? Idk maybe i just didn't saw it well

[@sandsgrainofsand5320]

Can't wait for the release and the fun I'll have with friends playing co-op 😊

[@OneEdge_]

Really solid stuff! Can't wait for the early access! I don't know how feasable that would be, but I'd love to see an illustration of the characters when they talk, the chara design was top notch in the animated trailer and I wish we could see more of it while playing!

[@tjiiik]

That world music is absolutely exquisite.

[@darkshinyd958]

This looks really good, but I hope there is a big weapon variety for the replayability. Nontheless, excited where this is going :)

[@motiontwin]

We have a bunch of weapons, and even more gifts (cool upgrades that make up the bulk of your builds). There'll be A LOT of things to try out! ^^

[@xl4712]

We stan a game with great movement. Looks incredible

[@leophyte9663]

Ah yes, curse of the dead cells jokes aside can't wait to try it out myself

[@fugixi]

Is it just me who, based on the first release trailer, expected the combat to much "quicker", more akin to Dead Cells? Here the dash between platforms is super quick but then the combat seems much much slower in tempo. Not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation. 🤔

[@motiontwin]

Things get much quicker when you get new weapons, gifts, and trinkets! 👀

[@fugixi]

​@@motiontwinNice, good to know. 👍

[@-Shizfr3niK]

The game looks simple but perfect at the same time! The graphical style is gorgeous without needing to be over the top, the soundtrack fits the environment, and I like that the enemies look challenging, something that could be improved is the face of "Twinian", which looks tired, The Lore looks super interesting, The Vortex and all that. I swear I can't wait to try out this new piece of art.

[@NikhilKurup-ot8vd]

This game kind of looks like it's going to be a multiplayer Hades, with more variety hopefully. Excited

[@CloneVersion2]

0:17 - Thank god the character design isn't final. 🙏

[@SnowMidgit]

Glad to see it's different but familiar in it's gameplay!

[@AnonFuzz]

What a beautiful art style for such fast and frantic movement. It's gonna be really disappointing to see all the vistas as a blur as I zoom through, but it looks so fantastic in most aspects so far.

[@S_H_A_K_I]

All the best for sales

[@abdullah_azzam]

Icl despite all the hate to motion twin, the reason I loved dead cells was because of the fast flowing movement that you still had to master, and this has transferred very well to windblown

[@StephenColtharp]

I'm seeing a lot of similarities to hades as far as mechanics go, especially in the gifts department. This makes me wonder where Motion Twin goes with this, as there is a lot of inspiration from dead cells too. It will be fun to see how the inspirations combine into a game, hopefully creating even more possible builds. I hope they add platforming sections as well, and making it so that you could fall of the island while dashing during combat would give an incentive to not spam the dash button.

[@Mauntium]

What is the incentive for not mindlessly dash-spamming in combat? In Hades you are limited to 2 consecutive dashes for a reason. Getting the boon that raises that to 4 (or even 5) already feels like it's starting to trivialize the game, as I no longer have to time my dodges, I can just spam dodge whenever an enemy starts an attack animation.

[@saladien9987]

They will figure that out at some point and change it. I’m pretty sure

[@kashjw8390]

This looks awesome I can’t wait for release!

[@requiem9926]

[@NathanTheCraziest]

[@DeviousX13X]

Been waiting for this game since it was announced, can't wait to play it for myself. Looks great so far!

[@t_nryu]

The OST ❤ Danger was already great for The Game Bakers games(the two best OST actually), can't wait for his work on Windblown ! Love the art too, and the fact that it is so dash-oriented

[@Haarunen]

I get the idea that combat is much slower than exploration, which I'd guess would feel sluggish in comparison. The fact that the final hit of your combo deals the majority of your damage means that you need to stay next to your enemy for a prolonged amount of time. I would imagine that it would feel better to be able to deal an impressive amount of damage right out of a dash and be able to immediately nope out of there, keeping the flow of combat as fast as the exploration. Of course just looking at gameplay won't give an accurate idea of how it feels to play, so I'd need to try for myself before I can be sure. Other than that the game looks sick! I love how fast the dashing is, and how freely you seem to be able to move with it. Good luck on the development of the game! I'm definitely rooting for you!

[@motiontwin]

Ahh good eye! The weapon we're using here is the Fish Knife, which deals a critical hit on it's last attack. There are a BUNCH of weapons though, all with their own abilities and mechanics, so each one is different! We also have a ton of Gifts (upgrades that make up the bulk of your build), one of which actually gives you a massive damage boost when you dash, so you're rewarded for being quick and nimble! You'll have to try it yourself to see how crazy things can get!

[@Haarunen]

@@motiontwin That makes sense! I suppose it is in the nature of a roguelike to change from run to run, and toward the end the combat seemed much faster too! Can't wait to see for myself! :D

[@safesafari4806]

How many people who worked on deadcells are working in this game?

[@IndieGamingRoguelikes]

I mean this is SO FAST, I can barely follow it :) Good vibes!!! Can't wait to try it when early access will start! :)

[@donogoodatgames]

With all due respect to the devs of both games, this looks like Hades Cells, and I am 100% here for it. To add on top that it has multiplayer?? Take my money 😂

[@-baluta3087]

Feels like you can spam the dash so much that you don't get to focus on the scenery... Like if you had a bit of wait in between you'd probably be more aware of your surroundings, no?

[@Grimcookie_ww]

looking forward to playing this

[@NMinker]

Can't wait for the early access. Looks like a great follow up to Dead Cells. Knowing my luck, it'll take a while to get anywhere near an endgame boss.

[@lawrence9713]

What makes this unique is the dashing, too bad it isn't embraced more into combat. As soon as combat starts it becomes a generic fighter

[@dirktrash3455]

Windblown? More like mind blown! This looks amazing!

[@Curve_Squad]

Oh god we're waiting to play!

[@rawoo9385]

The live service gaming brainrot is worrying in many of you

[@rocketsimp]

Calling Dead Cells a live-service is pretty dumb, for many reasons

[@Mattfreeman89]

Maybe they were done making the same fuckin game? Let people live their own life man, Jesus Christ. You don't own them.

[@Mattfreeman89]

​@@Wrestlemania24444134,600 reviews at 97% overwhelmingly positive. Perhaps they were satisfied with their work? Perhaps the level of polish is acceptable to themselves and the players, perhaps they over promised before having a change of heart, finding new inspiration after pouring their heart and soul into the previous project for years already. Perhaps it was time for them to move on, and perhaps you should too.

I'm really not a big fan of the dialogue but overall the gameplay looks fun

[@sebastianzarek7056]

Looks amazing! My only doubt is how the camera will handle the insanity of dashes with CO-OP. Hope the camera movement is gonna be smooth and won't make the gameplay unpleasant or dizzy mess.

Something tells me a lot of the original dead cells developers are not involved in the making of this game

[@Gamercrew72]

They are actually

[@fellipeflors]

Man, the Tenjutsu is from some Dead Cells devs too, and it looks like better than this!

[@feckneck3657]

​@@Gamercrew72this is not right. Sébastien Benard, ex motion twins tech lead that worked on dead cells said in one of his blog that most of the people who worked on dead cells have left the studio.

[@ribikamodhu2005]

All the devs (or most of them)who worked on this game are now in evil empire, and they're working on rogue Prince of Persia, and I'm hyped on that game rather than this due to the authenticity, I'm actually happy that MT finally decided to full release the end is near update for dead cells, finally returning my hype on windblown

[@MegaJackolope]

​@@ribikamodhu2005With all respect to both devs and the franchise, I've never felt as safe refunding a game as that Prince of Persia rougelike. I've never played a game that felt so unfinished and hadn't found it's fun as that game. Maybe it's changed, but Ubisoft put the trailer out unlisted for a reason. All of the weapons felt and played exactly the same, none of the rougelike elements had any bearing on anything. It shouldn't have even been announced that early.

[@charliejames1981]

Very interesting first look on this game here. There are parts of Dead Cells that I can see and I hope this game gets the full treatment. I like what I saw and hopefully be able to pick it up ..

[@raphaeldias7579]

Want to love this game, but feels like a lot could be improved. The overall design feels a little bit too generic, and could use more personnality. UI and text needs polish. Infinite dashing doesn't feel like meaningful gameplay. And the rooms and combat feel too similar/repetitive. Hope to see the game improve over time!

[@druman_beats]

[@kheinex]

To be honest, it seems pretty boring right now. It looks like the kind of game I’d play for a few weeks or maybe a month, but then get bored due to the repetitive gameplay. That said, since this is only closed alpha footage, there's still a lot of time for the game to evolve. I'm still holding out hope and looking forward to seeing how it develops.

I'm still playing Dead Cells regularly, love it dearly and can't let it go. I use jumping a good deal in my attack strategy as a survival mains to get extra time to wind up the slow attacks--I'm wondering, is there any actual "jump" in this game over than the dash? Looks great graphically though and love the speed!

[@frysikosumampouw5096]

[@GamesGridNetwork]

Mindblown

[@grinchforest948]

Great work. It looks it will be a great game. My only doubts: -platforming elements With fast dash, transition in 3D, possible wall running or jumps, it might be hard to find adequate space, so there should be possibility of the camera turning. -Fighting in 3D Even if it is 3D, the fights seems flat, on the same level of action. Enemies should be able to use the advantage of higher ground and attack up or down. You can see it in the fight 8:09, the enemy instead shooting, tries to come foward.Later it attacks, but can't aim up and target the player.
