well check the post times and you'll see hendricks is a ninja who squeezed his post in whilst I was making mine

to make this more relevant, please for all that is good tell us we can double up the SMGs in the final game. it feels a little bit weedy at the moment.

I was honestly surprised that you couldn't dual-wield it - the design and sprite seems kinda made for it. It seems like the kind of thing that would be saved for the full game though, as the SMG really is enough to handle anything thrown at you in the preview campaign.

Got home and saw the news, watched the announcement trailer, checked out the positive impressions from Gggmanlives and downloaded the demo from GOG. An awesome way to cap off the day after work! Everything is looking really great so far, and I'm really looking forward to getting some hands-on time with the game. Keep up the good work!

I'm talking about the image you posted, I'm not sure what I'm meant to be getting from it.

Reference to a page from a notoriously awful webcomic.

btw, did anybody noticed RoTT homages? I saw a picture in the office level and a billboard in a metro one. Both used the art directly from that game.

I thought it was a tetris reference.

I don't needed to say as many already said, I just f**king love this game, even I just suck at finding secrets...

Who's idea about "Press USE to scream", really?

I noticed something on Shelly's HUD mugshot, the color of collar will changed if she wear the 100/200 armor, really nice addition.

Sorry for the lack of buildporn but I hope this will compensate!

I think USE to scream was one of my weird ideas

HA! Good luck with that shit, you dirty cheater you!

Just bought it on the 3DR website. Even the size of the installer is classic, merely 38 MB. Gonna check it out soon and tell you what I think!

PS: It's rare that I buy a game without reading any review before. Anyway, I know you guys know your stuff, so no need for reinsurance. Usually I also wait for sales, but I think for this retro gem, anyone involved in this should receive every single cent (in fact, it's still -10% off right now, but anyway).

PS PS: Will there be a way later to run the Ion Maiden groupfile also with EDuke32 (I assume the code is similar) or do you intend to keep it separate? Just asking out of curiosity.

Just had a 80 minute play through of the first level and the game really is a lot of fun so far. The level design is quite sprawling, which is exactly what was promised, and it is really refreshing to see that as that is what is reminiscent of 90's shooters that all the other 'old-school' throwbacks seem to forget. I'm really taking my time to find all the secrets which are deviously hidden, as I was missing a whole 15 of them by the end of the level. Definitely lots of nice touches and attention to detail throughout too. Anyway, great stuff so far!

[Fox]

And this was released before Total Meltdown. How shameful.

[NightFright]

But something WAS released! If that's a shame, then I want more of it!

Do you own Bombshell Deluxe Edition? Then you should find it as an extra for that game.

Oh shoot! I have that! Yey! Playing that tonight! I assume owners of Bombshell Deluxe won't get the full Ion Maiden game when it's complete though, right?

This game needs its own sub-forum. Especially when the final version gets released.

People asking for help or hints are getting buried under game aspect suggestions, while bugs and issues are mixed in with impressions and experiences.

There's a Linux version. No Mac version (yet?)
Every new computer has a 64 bit CPU and aside from some Atom-based tablets (which I think used 64 bit CPUs but only shipped with a 32 bit OS for some reason) have been for many years now...

Will there be a pre-order w/ preview campaign at GOG.com or is it Steam exclusive?

Is there going to be a full HUD bar in the final release, in addition to the minimal one we have currently?

Damn, those secrets are well hidden. Very challenging ! Excellent.
