Have you heard anything about the engine they're using? I haven't found too much on it. I really hope it's not the same unity stuff that Shroud of the Avatar is using.

Well I mean they have voxel farm now in the picture for physics and what not. Not sure how that interacts. How's Landmarks combat reactivity? I'd imagine CF is going for something similar. Maybe I 'm just ignorant.
I'm primarily concerned with animation prioritization and UI input delay.

The only updates on this game I get are from this thread. I don't even go on their website until Big Flex links and update or you link a dev post.
I'm logged in Crowfall.com but not logged in on the forums. Clicking log in on the forums brings me to the front page where I am logged in already. Hmm.
I'd be surprised if the voxel stuff worked with existing middleware. Middleware is usually only for fixed hand built areas that are loaded upon entry and don't change.

/shrug. I know you can buy voxel tech in the unity store. I haven't spent a whole lot of time researching it.
We don't really know anything about their game engine, only guesses based on the usage of Voxel Farm. Everything else we have glimpses of and I think our brains are filling in the gaps with our own personal biases. I think they'll be fleshing all of that out. I also don't think they are any where near having a playable date ready for us.
Yeah, but the unity store stuff is cheap. Voxel Farm in it's entirety is $25k.

Yeah they're booting up a character modeling stream for the guinea in four days. Doubt a demo is going to just magic itself into existence when they barely have initial archetype modeling done.

I agree with Vitality on this, and I've probably been more balls deep into their forums, every little dev quote, etc than anybody on RR. I think they have a small testing area with which the most very basic elements of their physics and terrain generation systems, a small handful (i.e. all of the models they've shown thus far) and only the most BASIC aspects of their combat systems. In a thread I posted about blocking mechanics, probably a month ago, about blocking it was eluded to that they either had no yet decided or had not yet implemented how blocking would work. I think TullyAckland said it, so take that for what it's worth.
Now, don't get me wrong, I think these guys have everything mapped out, are organized, and are capable of seeing this project through, but I think they've probably been going at it hard with a small team for 8 months. People on their forums, elsewhere on the net, and twitter keep stating that Beta will be announced when the countdown hits zero, they're going to be really disappointed when they find out when ACE said pre-alpha, they meant preeeee Alpha. With all of that said, when the KS launches, I'm going for big balla, "will regret wasting this money on vaporware", "if Crowfall sucks you all can all talk shit about this for years", backpack of bonechips, p2w, nobility tier.
