Demigod by Gas Powered Games (SupCom)

Haven't been playing this lately mainly due to the connectivity problems, but can't wait for this new patch. Especially for the fast lobby joining!
 
Just monitoring the chat - looks like they are hitting the sack 1.30am, these guys are dedicated!

They're hoping for a beta release today there time so I guess possibly late for us tonight or early tomorrow.

Tals
 
OK just tested the sound issue it appears to be resolved. For those getting lag and slowdown set your sound to low quality they seem to have fixed it.

Incredible stuff :)

What’s new in this beta:

* Massive connectivity optimizations and updates
* Favor Items fixed
* Favor points fixed
* Major optimizations to audio on low fidelity settings
* Fixed bug that occured if you used an ability after issuing an attack command. This is the "won't chase the demigod I clicked" bug.
* Achievements properly vaulting on Impulse
* Sending deltas for partially completed achievements.
* Each player now saves their own achievements and favor items
* Fixed partial Achievement saves bug.
* Fixed a bug that occurred if you accomplished an achievement in game.
* Fixed a bug in disconnect dialog that would try to update it even if we had determined we did not want to show it.
* Fixed sound performance issue (for users who were having to run without sound)
* Changed resample rate to 24k in Low settings
* Delayed FMOD initialization until audio LOD is set via options
* Disabled hitbox interference from announcer messages.
* Life's Child no longer removes Inner Grace (Sedna fix)
 
Finally got round to some multiplayer. Won first match, then lost 3 in a row lol. Takes 5 mins to join a game tho, which is kinda anoying.

In all fairness, in say a 3v3 match, you need to wait for 5 other people to want to start a game at the same time as you. It'd only be instant if you could join games already in progress, which would just be silly.

I don't mind waiting 5 minutes or so when I'm going to have a 45 minute game :)
 
I was playing Pantheon, so didnt have to mess about with all the people joining.

Joining mid game wouldnt be too bad, if you take over an AI. Might get games to start quicker :p
 
So whats this demigod like ?

I've had an eye on it but can't quite make out what type of game it is. Sounds a bit like black and white ?!?1 or am i completely wrong

Imagine a RTS like warcraft 3, but instead of having direct control of the army they are AI driven. Instead you just control a single 'demigod', who you can upgrade with several different special abilities and influence the battle in your favour. The other team will also have their own demigods who will be trying to win the battle themselves. There's quite a few RPG elements along side the RTS gameplay, there's several demigods each with special characteristics, my favourite for example is a minion master who can bring the souls of the dead back to life to fight along side him, there's also a sniper, several magic users etc etc.
 
I call it an MORTS which Multiplayer online Real time strategy, cause the way i see it, its basically WoW (i play wow btw) but in a miniature compact version.

you select a character you level it up, get new skills, do PVP, buy gear. So to me it pretty much is the above.

And its really good about doing it as well, am just hoping the new patch fixes the MP side abit better, a think if people are waiting for the euroe launch thats pretty smart cause am reckoning it should be all but fixed by then.

My current favourite is Sedna - after a few upgrades she can tank like no other in the game.. it often gets to a point where my HP regen is higher than anyone's DPS :D
 
mmm sounds interesting. I've seen this on pre-order for 17.99.

Might be worth the investment :D

Its been out for a while on digital download, just over £26 (here), though if you wait a couple of days, they are giving everyone who bought the game a 50% off coupon, to get their friends to buy it. Should be a couple of them spare floating around the forums.
 
Just bought this on a whim, really liking it! :)

Impulse id is wyrd0 if anyone wants to add me
