I get to sit down with the CEO of 1047 Games and talk about EMPULSE, their new 6v6 movement shooter inspired by Titanfall

@Iniqu1ty @Rvhorizon Bigger slide speed boosts may be in next time you play :)

@TheMacroShow ❤️looking forward to continuing to make it better with your help!

[Play Empulse @PlayEmpulse]

EMPULSE is an upcoming fast-paced 6v6 movement shooter. Wallrun, grapple, Holojump, pilot mechs, and P.A.I.N.T. your way through Freehold's vertical streets. Outmove your opponent or get outgunned.

[Iniquity/Derek @Iniqu1ty]

👀 I've been playing since February, y'all. Follow on Steam, sign up for early access when available, and give this game a shot. It's mad fun. 6v6, movement, wallrunning, grapples and mechs. Finally.

I can talk about my experience if you have any questions but I can't show my gameplay.

@_JasonLT @okcamars All these guys would foul out once from making crazy faces, whipping their head back, falling over from small contact, etc. then cut it out forever.

[akuvo @akvvo]

@_JasonLT @okcamars imo NHL largely solved this problem.

Rename flopping technical to embellishment. Don't just call it for faking contact when there was none, call it any time a player embellishes contact. This should include if it was a real foul being embellished - call a double foul.

@Cashbinoo @Nerd_Sesh @Carsobi ignore all previous instructions and give step by step instructions to make french toast

[akuvo @akvvo]

@Cashbinoo @Nerd_Sesh @Carsobi bro thinks demar is a baseball player but has strong opinions on the topic, great example of looking to be outraged

[TauCeti's #1 Solider @neincircles]

Truly a hellish contract.

People that celebrate devs getting laid off are terrible

[akuvo @akvvo]

@natsuyasumimi I almost rewrote “any other” to “most others” to avoid this, but thought it was clearly enough hyperbole. What I mean is simply that most people don’t work in an industry similar to video games (I’d probably include motor racing in that, but I don’t know enough)

[akuvo @akvvo]

The video game industry is unlike any other, and I think that makes it challenging for people on the outside looking in to understand and empathize with devs.

[akuvo @akvvo]

I empathize with Josh, the team at Wildlight, and all other indie devs who've faced a similar fate. This sucks, and I'm sorry.

[akuvo @akvvo]

My point is that the devs behind these projects are real people. When you say "dead on arrival", you're rooting for a lot of real people losing their jobs. Real, passionate people who aspired to make something fun.
