Magnate: Pre-Alpha Preview

And across the finish line!

We were able to pull something together and submit a video to Sony for GDC. We weren't able to get all the features we wanted finished, but we'll be doing that and fixing some bugs over the weekend before submitting our code if we're chosen by Sony. It's an exciting but nerve wrecking time for Dominion Arts!

The video we submitted was over 10 minutes long with our main programmer going into detail about what we did and how we did it, but I have a shorter version showing the game in a pre-Alpha state to give you all a taste with some music by Brendon (which is a little loud so please adjust your audio volume). Again, a lot of the pop-up screens are placeholder and there is no combat animation yet. Come Monday I'll post another video with what we were able to accomplish over the weekend! :)

For the HD version, please click on the video to watch it on youtube.

In the coming weeks, we should hopefully have an alpha build ready to be tested and when that time comes, I hope to be able to select a number of people to help us do just that. We'll also start a crowd-funding campaign to help financing, so stay tuned for that!

And to end it off, just a reminder that all the coding for what you saw in the video was done by 2 brave souls, Roger and Eric, over the course of 12 days! And on that bombshell, farewell! :)
