As promised, we were live playing Styx: Shards of Darkness on PC. In case you missed it, here is your chance to catch up with our replay. The game will only be released next week, so keep in mind that this is only a preview.
Haven't had time to watch the livestream replay yet, so I'm not sure if you guys mentioned this already, but the French movie Elle (great movie, by the way): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3716530/ has many scenes that revolve around the development of the first Styx game, Styx: Master of Shadows.
I found that to be really interesting, and there are many insights into certain aspects of how many developers think of what's more important through their perspective. Not gonna spoil anything, specially since these parts are only a small part of the movie, but the movie is very much worth watching and these "behind the scenes" moments are also very entertaining.

And those headcrabs in dark rooms are going to be fun. Fuckin hell. (6 Hours ago)

Imagine scrambling to reload the gun, dropping the ammo on the ground, and picking up a brick instead and bashing a combine troop with it, saving your bacon. (6 Hours ago)

@Melmoth: Well, then, if that gameplay is indicative of what its like overall, and if the AI can react to you touching things, thus making noise or becoming visible, then its going to be revolutionary (6 Hours ago)

@MrWhite: ..and ofc it's the perfect opportunity for us to build Dog :) (6 Hours ago)

@MrWhite: they say it's a full length game like HL2 of about 13-15 hours long. And making it VR only they can take proper advantage of having hands. Hope there's many nice gameplay innovations . (6 Hours ago)

The only thing I'm sort of surprised about is the lack of full body presence. Boneworks has it, and it looks like it's sharing the same kind of mechanics engine too. (7 Hours ago)

@Melmoth: Looks amazing. HL2 is still the best single player FPS in existence. Experiencing that world in VR will be incredible. (7 Hours ago)
