Game Dev Appreciation Thread
Hi everyone :)

News related this board needs a bit more content, so I thought I'd grab the Tweets of the WTF:ZF devs and post them here, so the concerns of the game being abandoned vanish, because the two guys working on the game are putting one hell of an effort into it, so here we go.

Since Steam doesn't allow direct image posting, I'll link to the Tweets instead, so everyone should be able to click and see the content.

These are, with only few exceptions, all game related show off tweets from the devs from January this year up to today. Took me long enough to collect and embed them in the url-tags, so if you want to see the older images, visit Jan's Twitter and scroll through his amazing work. It deserves way more attention and appreciation, so feel free :Khappy:

Sorry for my absence. I was hospitalized for quite some time and will be again in the next few weeks. I will be back as soon as I can!

Well it's been under wraps for a while, and I wish we could have talked about it sooner but the devs have been super active and engaged with us every single day. They vigorously argue design, are open to feedback and are online almost more than I am.

Just let me clear up that some of these images, if not all, are from the multiplayer version of the game that is still being tested and thus not yet released.

Yes, they are and it's called Vagabonds instead of Zero Falls. If you want you can join the public discord server ( https://discord.gg/MpjRsAp ) and read through it for access. I'm no developer or responsible person regarding the development and thus not giving away any data that isn't made explicitly public, but on discord you may find all available infos about it.

For further questions just ask :Khappy:

Edit: Added seven new tweets of development.

The people making the game should consider doing programs to sell / put out (donation, open source, whatever) because they seem really adept at implementing physics and mechanics people have wanted for years but nobody's taking the time to do them (i.e. actually damaging specific ship parts, in-ship on foot battles, etc).

That normal mapping (bump mapping, I forget the exact name it was covered by 'Games from Scratch") program looks very sleek and professional you guys could probably put out many other programs like that.

With the amount of innovation and ingenuity you're putting in your coding you guys could probably have a very successful career coding software for game-making.

Games are in dire need of 'physics' (and immersion) based coding, to help them feel more interactive and 'real', that would probably be a very receptive market.

Good job

Just got the game on steam, just want to say......this game is AWESOME. great concept, good comedy, great size, controls are expansive and not hateful. And it is still in EA, I can't wait to see the game fully fleshed out! I will certainly be looking for a more direct way to support you guys! I hope I can help you bring this project to fruition! It is just amazing... with such a small team too. A shining example of Indie, I love it!
