In Response To: Eternal X Alpha 5 (Forrest of B.org)

Sweet! I just started playing from the beginning of chapter four, and havent gotten far, but here are my initial impressions: I love the pfhor staff projectial thingy, it looks really nice. Being able to see ammo levels is also a good thing.

The display ememies on the overhead map sure makes things easier, but it basicly gets rid of ambushes. Not yet sure how I feel about that one.
Also, I cannot figure out how to complete Land in the Sky (beatiful map though) I also was able to (accidently) get myself stuck in a pool towrads the bottom that I couldn't escape from.

: Eternal X Alpha 5 is now online
:
: Happy 7/7/7. We had hoped and planned for many years to have the whole
: release of Eternal X online today, everything finished and well-tested and
: polished, but... the past 5 months since Alpha 4 have really dragged
: along, chapter 5 had a lot of work to be done on it, and we just barely
: got the last map done in time for this final alpha (which is really pretty
: much a beta, as it's feature complete minus a few images and texts, but
: I'm keeping my naming scheme).
:

: New Features
:
: - Chapter 5 is complete (10 new maps) plus the epilogue level, for 11 new
: maps total.
: - Three new (well, really, quite old) monsters: the Headless, the Nightmare,
: and the Banshee.
: - A new weapon or two: the Gravitronic Blades. (George Lucas is gonna sue
: somebody!)
: - Assorted bugfixes to previous chapters and other preexisting content
: (including new chapter screens).
:

: To Be Completed
:
: - The epilogue terminal text (by Yossarian) and the final credits screen.
: (The final screen is actually done, but as we're missing the epilogue
: terminal text, I put "to be concluded" in a shiny font as the
: final screen for now).
: - Making sure that all the low-res textures match the high-res ones (for
: Blayne).
:

: Cancelled Features
:
: - Updated player and weapon graphics sufficient for non-stupid-looking
: network play, and the net maps that go with them. (If some graphics person
: wants to help with this, I'd love to do an Eternal X Online someday).
: - Hathor was to make a personal appearance in Ch5, but she has been cancelled
: due to a lack of pixels.
:

: Major Known Bugs
:
: - Scatter Rifle Enforcers (the ones with the M1 Enforcer weapons) appear to
: hover while moving or firing.
: - The Tall Lights in the Set 1 scenery are vertically misaligned and stick
: into the floor.
: (I could really use some help with these two bugs, as everything looks just
: fine in Anvil...)
:

: Minor Known Bugs
:
: - Pfhorscape and it's pink variant have glitches where they wrap
: - Dayscape (fiery Lh'owon) has a glitch somewhere in it too.
: (These are just things minor things that I've noticed while playing, even
: though everything looks fine in Photoshop. Please let me know if you
: notice them and think they need fixing).
:

: Unconfirmed Bugs
:
: These are bugs which have been reported to me but which I have not witnessed
: myself. Please confirm: - Lookers and Wasps have too small collision
: cylinders and are extremely hard to hit.
: - Lookers, and Wasp corpses and dying sequences, look too small.
: - Wasps are missing their firing sequence.
: - Scatter Rifle bullets have no impact effect.

: So please, go download it, play the heck out of it, tell your friends about
: it and get them to play the heck out of it, get me as much feedback as you
: can (but please don't quite shout it from the rooftops, since the final
: version will be coming shortly after everything is thoroughly tested). If
: a texture is misaligned, let me know. If there's a siren next to a
: dramatic terminal that ruins the mood, let me know. Typos, bad grammar
: (except where it's intentionally bad), story inconsistencies, let me know.
: Be as exacting and meticulous as you can, don't hold back, this is the
: last chance to tell me if something sucks - though I can't guarantee that
: it will get fixed or that I will agree with you that it sucks.

: The later chapters probably need the most attention; Chapter 1 is pretty damn
: solid, Chapter 2 seems good, but I still feel like chapters 3, 4, and 5
: are weak somehow, and if there's anything that can be done to improve
: them, I'd really like to know. So let us have it.
