Today we wanna share with you Q&A from our very first stream
Hope you'll enjoy that! :)
Q - Question
A - Answer
Q1. Can you as a medic shoot with weapons too?
A: We decided to not use weapons in that game and it's not because we are pacifics or this kind of stuff, but we think and we're almost sure that we can create war game without the shooting. So at this moment there are no guns you can use playing as a medic in the game.
Q2. As a medic, can you also die by bullets flying around and explosions?
A: Yes, you'll need to avoid that. You can die by bullets flying around and explosions, vehicles, other guys (soldiers), snipers... There are many things that basically can kill you.
Q3. when you are getting hit, do you need help to bandage yourself also and try to "heal up"?
A: Yes, you can bandage yourself. You can take care of yourself and use the same stuff that you can use when you want to heal another guys. So there is another question like "do you wanna take care of yourself or use these things (to heal) others? Yes, sometimes you'll need to make this decision.
Q4. Do you have unlimited resources?
A: No. You have only what you have in your bag. So you'll need to prepare yourself. Sometimes it is much better to take some anti-burn-skin stuff instead of the typical bandage or something like that. During the mission you can find resources somewhere on the battlefield. Also you'll be able to take resources from dead medics.
Q5. Will there be a story connected to you as a medic like the movie Hacksaw Ridge?
A: Yes, the game is story based. And there is a story behind you and your teammates also. You'll have your name, your friends have names and you'll have your story.
Q6. Will you have a test phase before actually releasing?
A: Yes, we are creating the demo. It's in progress right now and it will be available in the next few months. During the Kickstarter we would like to share the demo, we just have to figure out how to make it good. But yes - demo is on the way.
Q7. Can you talk about what stage of development you are in? What is your timeline like?
A: We are at the moment when most of the mechanics are done. We had to do some rewrites to make them solid and now we are working on the gameplay stuff, more like a story gameplay stuff. We are close to the - let's say - 30% of the game. Last few weeks we spent on mechanics instead of maps and visual stuff, we needed to rewrite most of the mechanics.
Q8: How well do you advertise and promote the game?
A: This is the part when our publisher is doing his job. As a Hypnotic Ants (studio) we decided to be focused on development instead of doing marketing stuff. Of course we are taking care of our community and different things but I cannot talk about marketing promotion the game, youtubers and stuff like this. We are not marketing experts so we decided to focus on development.
Q9: Do you plan to add some Easter Eggs to the game?
A: Sure! Easter Eggs always! We are players too so we love Easter Eggs.
Q10: Will there also be something like a bloodloss - meaning you have limited time to heal the wounded?
A: Yes. Yes and it's already here - in the game. The guys are dying. If the wounded is in bad condition, he will lose his blood. Of course it also depends on the wounds, because a soldier without a leg should lose blood much faster than this with just a scratch on his leg.
Q11: Shouldn't soldiers use seatbelts? (in relation to the animation of soldiers falling out of the jeep)
A: ;) I don't think soldiers on the battlefield use seatbelts, but sure - they should ;)
