ACTUALLY HAPPENING I REPEAT IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING
>Risk of Rain 2 is our first fully 3D project! We think that 3D allows for much deeper design spaces and more possibilities for cool gameplay. Feelings of scale and atmosphere are also much stronger. We are really happy with the core of Risk of Rain - and we’re finding it plays even better in 3D. It just won’t crash anymore.
>There’s a bunch of other things I want to talk about, but I’m anxious and nervous about writing this so they’re all escaping my mind. So uh, yeah. There you go. We’ll be spending the next few devblogs talking about all the awesome systems we have in place (unified character system, item proc chains, etc) with future ones talking about our progress through development. I promise that we’re doing all these things because we think it’ll make the coolest game. And to all our fans - thanks for sticking with us. We hope you’re all as excited as we are.
Better be 60 fps and online mutliplayer. Only two things they need to do other than bring back HAN-D and Engineer.
Adam Walker
3D makes me wary, but I'm optimistic, just hoping the multiplayer doesn't suck
Kevin Gray
this is a 6 months build, They said they tested it to make sure mechanics are actually fun in 3D to prevent a Trine 3.
give them time. I just hope they don't do some early acces bullshit and just go straigh for release or at beast a beta build to clean bugs.
Leo Robinson
Looks neat. I'm not entirely sure if the enemy design or art direction in general will translate well into 3D. The sprites were decently animated for how basic they were. I feel like it would lose a lot of its verticality too. It could be good, but could also be garbage.
Leo Wood
>indie shit Fuck off shill
Jason Martin
Let me guess, game will be COMPLETELY different and won't satisfy current players.
Jason Nguyen
Source?
Ayden Lopez
>risk of rain shilling is back
Woah, truly like going back in time
Cooper Roberts
>ruin one of the decent 2D games with an unneeded 3D change What's next? open world?
Henry Thomas
Will the Loader's electric towers damage enemies inside the whole cube though?
Evan Thompson
I can't wait for Sup Forums to set up matches, put it on the highest difficulty, and die repeatedly on the first stage.
I don't think the old Risk of Rain is going to be patched over as 3D user
Owen Murphy
>it's real >it looks decent
Am I... A little enthusiastic? What is this feeling?
James Morris
Yeah by that logic why play any new games or sequels right?
Isaac Murphy
it doesn't look too bad i guess, but i would have much rather had the same game as the first but with more areas, items and characters time will tell if this is any good or not
Joseph Parker
Just saying Risk of Rain 1 isn't going to go anywhere if you don't like it homeslice
Juan Bennett
3d melee is going to be aids.
Jaxson Gray
That's pretty impressive for 6 months work. Will they set up another kickstarter to fund it?
Kevin Thompson
and I'm saying that sequels should be better than the original. Your half-assed logic is flawed.
Joseph Thompson
Trust Hopoo. RoR was good but fucked thanks to game maker.
Deadbolt was good enough, nothing too big or special, but did his job.
They are no tripple AAA but they don't aim to be one or make stupidly high promises like 2D animation, some expensive composer (they better bring back RoR and DB composer) or anything.
Also Low poly is probably the best way to go for RoR artstyle
Daniel Fisher
All Risk of Rain levels and encounters played pretty much exactly the same because of the flat, 2D design. 3D adds way more variety.
William Perez
We don't know how good this will be. All we have is some gifs and pics from 6 months into development.
Adrian Watson
I actually have no words for this abhorrent post (you) really didn't try at all
William Phillips
You said the first Risk of Rain would be ruined, I'm telling you you're wrong. I said nothing about sequels not having to be better than the original. Don't project.
Samuel Peterson
And your condemnation of an unreleased game based solely on them adding another dimension isn't?
Benjamin Miller
...
James Wilson
>finally manage to stop playing RoR >RoR 2 announced I'm going to pray it will be shit so I don't waste another few hundreds of hours.
Xavier Jenkins
I hope they're doing something smart and devving it with Unreal or using a proper language this time like C++ w/ SDL2 instead of making it with Unity or GM... Also yes if Chris isn't on this I'll be mad
Ryan Morales
>you will be raped by magma worms in 4k 60 FPS TAKE IT TAKE MY MONEY
Owen Johnson
Even if it's shit, it might be one of those cases where you still pour 100 hours into it and then leave a negative review.
Brody Wood
>dev didn't make the announcement here what the fuck bro I thought we were close
Cameron Reed
But will it have multiplayer? Ever since my router stopped letting RoR through i've been missing out on all the Sup Forums fun times. I need my RoR fun time Sup Forums I NEED IT.
Brayden Cook
>50% more dimension that's a VAST improvement user
Elijah Morgan
>game maker studio lost another developer to unity
will they ever get their shit together?
Benjamin Campbell
>tripple AAA >AAA AAA AAA studio
Asher Butler
>Risk of Rain 2 in fully 3D >imagine playing this with Sup Forums I can't wait
Easton Walker
Maybe netcode will be better this time around.
Owen Nguyen
HOLY SHIT THIS LOOKS AMAZING
Landon Johnson
I haven't even played the original
am I missing out?
Anthony Lewis
as someone who's used both unity is basically as good as unreal it has a bad reputation because it was free before UE, which meant a lot of people with very little drive made a "game" using it, since it was free anyway
Camden Anderson
>20 players spite magma worm only
Landon Perry
had the idea of making a RoR clone but in 3d
oh well
Zachary Cook
well some games have a REALLY REALLY big budget I guess...
IT's a fun time killer that becomes great with friends. Don't expect too much out of it but definetly worth it's price.
Tyler Thompson
>a proper language this time like C++ hahahahahahahahahaha
Lincoln Lee
FUCKING HYPE
Jacob Collins
Just pixel shit.
Nathan Rogers
Shit I just realized I never played this and have had it forever (Got it from a humble bundle)
Connor Torres
HOLY SHIT MY DICK IS DIAMONDS
Samuel Howard
Looks like that's what it's aiming to do, exactly. People who can't aim for shit might be put off, though.
Landon Bennett
Oh no, Mr. Ideas Guy will have to conjure up some more "ideas"
Christopher Baker
>nasa announced their new project is a game >7 billion USD budget
Adam Russell
RISK OF RAIN 2 BOYS EVEN LESS HOSTS NOW IN 3D HOP ON THE FUCKING HYPE TRAIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
Zachary Clark
How hard is this game going to burn computers ?
Elijah White
They want the Overwatch PvE events audience
Isaiah Price
No, the whole series, any series not just RoR, should have enough differences that you can go back and play any game in the series without feeling like you took a step backwards. All the games should have something distinct to merit being able to go back to them and I think this is a good example
Adam Thompson
it'll probably be some fucking unity trash but if it captures the spirit of 2d risk of rain i'll still buy it
Levi Thomas
Move out of Sudan and maybe you can play with the rest of us. The netcode is entirely p2p and works great when the host isn't shit.
David Green
...
Jaxon Ramirez
unity isnt as bad as people make it out to be, but unreal is a lot better IMO
Carson Watson
HOST WHEN?
Parker Richardson
I wouldn't mind more of the same but I gotta say this is some exciting news
Wyatt Cooper
I'm iffy about such a big change, but I will at least be looking forward to more jams from their composer.
Andrew Wood
>low poly Finally indie devs move on to the superior graphical style, very excited
Alexander Russell
ITS NOT FAIR MAKING A RISK OF RAIN CLONE WAS MY IDEA
Jeremiah Johnson
All these coop walkthroughs, imagine.
Grayson Nelson
Don't fuck this up Hopoo, you better give us multiplayer and Christodoulou
Andrew Wright
Is Risk of Rain better with a controller or mouse?
Anyone wanna play some now?
Aaron Young
>funballs now have 3rd dimension >50% more bandwidth needed to send object coordinates [LAG INTENSIFIES]
Asher Perez
>made in Unity
Levi Bennett
Guarantee its being made in Unity or some equally shit program. If so I'm basically not gonna give a fuck.
Aiden Taylor
>tfw risk of rain dev copies your tweaked clone idea
Easton Bailey
>3D Fuck off with this garbage It was fun because it was a nice 2D sidescroller with a neat aesthetic Now it's just gonna be another garbage looking 3D shooter with garbage graphics
Noah Davis
I mean, if you're playing on an i3 with 4gb of ram and a 500 level card, I guess you'll have problems.
Elijah Evans
>take casual game that neo-Sup Forums thinks is hard, make it 3d, call it a second game
why couldn't they just patch risk of rain and give it actual difficulty? they ain't getting any money from me now
Ian Bailey
UNDERAGE B&
Lucas Carter
Why the fuck do so many people shit on Unity when it's a perfectly serviceable engine?
Why the fuck do so many people shit on this game being 3D when they're trying something new instead of just making "the same game, but now you have to pay for it again to play the updated version"?
These devs are doing everything right.
Adrian Murphy
As long as it's not snowball carryfest this time around, I'm hype.
Aiden Price
Chris is on board, just check his twitter.
Robert Lopez
Elitism.
Michael Myers
where the FUCK are you people reading that it's made in Unity
Oliver Morales
Dude, nice meme. I get that meme.
Alexander Anderson
>have something good that works well and that people like >change it completely >"lol why are people giving them shit for trying something new???" Brainlet? If they want to make something new, make it not Risk of Rain 2. Risk of Rain should stay Risk of Rain.
Dominic Cox
HO LY SHIT And here I was thinking I can't get hyped for vidya anymore.
Leo Gomez
Same reason as RPG Maker. It's popular with kids and teenagers so a lot of trash comes out, and that means it can never have a good game made in it.
David Brooks
A bad case of idiots and misinformation. Unity is powerful in the right hands and accessible for everyone else to make their shitty asset flips in.
Mason Lewis
SCREW THEM
IM GONNA MAKE A CLONE OF THEIR RISK OF RAIN CLONE AND MAKE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
Juan Foster
we can smell unity from a mile away games just act a certain way when built in unity it's the way the lighting and terrain looks that makes you know that it's a unity game
Ayden Jones
>core gameplay is the same >just one more dimension added Are you a casual?
Ayden Bennett
How about instead of bowing to what you want, they keep their franchise going and innovate it? Why should a developer have to create the same game over and over again? Did you also cry when Metroid Prime was created and turned out to be an outstanding game that deviated from the previous formula?
Jeremiah Phillips
I've tried to play the first one but i couldn't enjoy it. The concept looks fun but it's way to hard and a lot of rng. Is it possible to unlock all characters solo? In coop it's playable but solo it was a nightmare for me with default class.
