But regardless, in case Crom does not already KNOW they are working on the game and Larian Studios is not a single employee operation, production does not stop when videos are made or Swen is showing off the game to the press. And guess what? If you watch those videos, they are actually updates as to current development status as well.
For example, in the Gamespot video which I won't link as it is full of spoilers, we saw some features in the build shown to the press:
- You can preview the path of your spells (and ranged shots?) Oddly, that wasn’t in the dev build, but it WILL be in the next Alpha build.
- Bigger arrows for switching between party members inventories
- Switching party members in the barter screen and skills menu
- Radius markers for spells (really fancy ones, too)
- Tombstones are still in, but they’ve gotten a new look too.
- Minimap arrows to indicate the direction of your party members
- Graphical upgrade for Skills menu
- Perception will give you an indication in Charm/Reason/Intimidate dialogue about which one (if any) gives you a situation bonus.
- New Status effects: Slow (half AP) and Chilled. Both were tied to environmental conditions in specific areas.
The next patch is supposed to have a LOT of code changes, such as AI improvements.
