Here is a list of 15 important things hidden or referenced in the trailer. Only ones I've seen people notice are shown.

1: Spawn rooms not spawn points

2: Yellow power-ups that increase jump height

3:

4:

5:

6: Health displayed by brightness of Ranger's outlines

7: Charge blocks act as shields

8:

9:

10:

11:

12:

13: With lower health, Rangers blend in with the background

14:

15: Spawn rooms have 24 cubes, but not all are Rangers

Even my captive audience (you guys) haven't noticed a lot of things.

I guess I'll get my comb and go through the video.

Yeah today is on track to be the least active day in the HISTORY of this website.

Looks like 12 players (at least in that spawn room). 
I'm guessing that is gameplay in the first few seconds.  And the shots are basically light beams. 
I'm still not sure what's happening exactly at 0:35, 0:45, 0:56. 
I'm going to take a look again in a few moments.

Yes the FPS is just local and online multiplayer. There's no bots/AI for Rangers (enemy cubes) in the FPS.

Sorry hahaha. The primary purpose of this trailer was to get the art-style shown and associated with VizionEck.

It's not f2p, but I also understand what your saying. At least as an indie I can take risks like this.

All people are different and I know this'll just come across as me trying to protect my game, but in my experience the opposite happens. Especially once you're controlling the game instead of watching. That cause and effect loop between pressing buttons and seeing a reaction really cements the rules of the art-style in your brain.

Yay someone's hopeful!!!

@Thread
You have no idea how awesome it is to see a thread made for my game, even with just a few mixed replies. Typing VizionEck in the search bar and getting an answer was surreal.

I've been working in secret for over 9 months. I've also been a member of NeoGaf for over a year yet this will be my first post. Now that things are public it feels right to engage and post with you guys and the indie dev community. I know the rules about self promotion and I'm not here to do that. I'll just answer questions when asked and respond to other threads like a regular member.


Any questions, just ask.

I went through and re-did the front page. The old one was a horrible lander, now that I'm moving past the "confusion" angle.

Still needs some minor adjustments and re-wording on some parts, but let me know what you think.

Dr. Pezus

It's very nice. Read through it all. Got me even more hyped!

7H3

new front page looks really good! We should have a post that shows off all the major info on the game... (i'll update OP here with appropriate information very soon)
