Color me confused, inititally. I hadn't heard anything about this game. Nifty stuff, though. Very implied. Gotta say, the physics leaves a bit to be desired. The main character climbing up on top of the rubish heaps, kinda is climbing the air about... 45 seconds or so in?

When I'm confused, I look at technical details though, so yeah :) That's me.

On the other hand, with some outside editing tools, I can see this being *the* engine for flexable machinima.

yeah i was sad to see the results of the 'search through rubble' scene, and said climbing in air.

it's a rough engine for making machinema, being as it is part-strategy game and part-media toolbox. you can cheat, but it's still rough.

Yeah, but most machinema-ists cheat to get their results. I mean, why not? Your goal isn't to beat the game, but to produce something with it. The cheats are there for QA folks who's goal isn't going to be the same as a normal player, so, why not take advantage of them leaving them for you?

well, in The Movies it's not technically cheating, 'cause they have normal game mode and 'sandbox' mode where you basically can choose which restrictions you want/don't want. so that was obviously designed with solely movie-making in mind. it still has some problems though. i don't know, i enjoy having some wierd restrictions on my movie-making. most movie makers do.
