Congratulations on your game! I really wish I had a PC so I could play it

Good to hear from you Bluedrake! I really appreciate how open you've been to feedback about your game. A true embodiment of the community-oriented ethos imo. I'm very excited to see what's next for OHD, thanks for the comment!

I've noticed that a lot of smaller youtubers have quickly made negative reviews because negativity gets their channels more attention. I only saw negative videos popping up in my feed from smaller youtubers. Keep it up bluedrake. If been specifically waiting for a gave that you have envisioned for over 10 years. Dont let the jealous ones ruin your day.

Your games not going anywhere without anti-cheat at the client level. Having server managers take that on isn't a real answer. Ignoring the biggest glaring issue isn't an answer.

I think the emphasis on calling it a game rather than a platform its what got a lot people confused

That’s super cool!

The AI right now is so basic it's one of the worst I've seen

Omg, I love the American's voice! It's so distinctive. Singleplayer OHD shows off some of the best aspects of the game and so I'm very excited to see how the AI is improved over time

@@garbaj Very glad to hear! I voice act in 5 languages and conduct extensive development in audio and design. I completed two voiceovers for OHD and managed voice talent, although the voiceovers are set to be revised when bots reach complexity. Currently voicing and designing for a new game from another notable UKposts creator and my personal project you will hear of in some years, many roles! I have also been following you and the game well over a year, you know who to ping if you need voice talent or audio design! Blue has distinguished his focus on AI as a core element, excited to see it grow. We mapped it out last year to be complex and player driven. I completed my work on audio last year and left but the work is indubitable.

@@orys7420 The current AI is early in capability. The plan is extensive, player command driven per March last year. I no longer work with the team as I completed my work though, so I am not privy directly.

the "floaty" character is good and needs to stay, it's just inertia and makes the player not be able to strafe, all this is healthy for a semi tactical game.

I remember hopping into the demo and I noticed that there 0 delay to going prone and getting back up, which means you could constantly drop shot people

As Plato says... the only thing I know for sure, is that I know nothing. I'm actually working on a website right now for our community that allows us to ingest and sort feedback so we can more accurately prioritize and rank suggestions (through public voting) from the community. Similar to Arma's community feedback tracker. I think it is going to be an incredible tool to incorporate and rank all of the excellent feedback we've been getting. With that all said, I feel like a major trait of any good developer is the willingness to throw out what you think you know, and to use your community to help guide your thoughts. So while I do admit that I'm not as experienced as many other game designers (there is always someone better) I personally believe that the cornerstone of any good designer regardless of experience is the capability to accept and incorporate the thoughts of others. Especially when those thoughts come from your own community. So if anyone was wondering, that's probably my motivation behind putting out posts like that so often when our team is working to incorporate people's thoughts on even some of our smallest mechanics. Love all the thoughts everyone has been leaving. Really been great fun making this game so far, and since launch making the game has only been more and more fun for us.

@@Bluedrake42 I'm glad to see you so committed to community communication, even with everyone being toxic. I'm also happy to see you focused on the little things, 'cause that's a lot of a game's feel and is extremely important. I'm looking forward to what you and your team create!

@@jupitersky Luckily as an influencer I'm used to corralling toxic internet communities. If anything that is a significant strength of ours lol merely the fact that we're incredibly used to corralling chaotic audiences into productive behavior is part of our entire angle on this. Most developers can't handle that toxicity... but for us, it is literally our reactor fuel.

i like it too but more because it plays into the hardcore/realistic side of the game. its kinda like what tarkov does.

the concept is good, but there's nothing between life and death, an animation would be nice imo.

yeah the concept is good, just that a quick animation playing so that it isnt so abrupt and sudden would be better

Yep. Just like the older Battlefield titles. I honestly get enraged by watching the enemy player jumping and strafing like a lunatic for 10 seconds with a horrible camera zoom, until I can get into the spawn menu. Overcomplicated doesn't mean better. Which seems to be the mantra of the modern game-dev.

@@forplaint_ru i hate when games don't just let you skip death screens. apex's is my least favorite despite how much i love the game. you have to stare at your death box for like 10 seconds before you can spectate

Hell yeah man, Warband has always been awesome to play, and mods like Pendor and Perisno have held the longest playthroughs I've done across any game.

Not 100% right. Gmod has no particular core experience and has little to no base content outside of mods and yet its still played by hundreds daily.

@@sovietnationalism3182 I see your point but CS and Half Life already had huge player bases to work with. Gmod allowed people to play with a game engine they were already very familiar with (and loved).

Problem with unreal engine is they need to release a SDK in order to make mods. So devs have to put effort into making the game as well as exposing variables in SDK. That's why Squad and insurgency SDKs are very limited. And OHD is trying to implement modding from ground up with their limited resources

@@mltharaka yeah, UE is *not* built for mods, so if they want mods, it becomes a vocal point in development whether they like it or not The only reason shit like postal 2 has mod support is because it runs on the strangest version of unreal imaginable and is held together with boogers

yeah cause gmod doesnt exist? Not saying youre wrong but it isnt a requirement

@@sovietnationalism3182 no they're absolutely wrong though. Skyrim is a completely bland game in most ways, the storyline is plain by TES standards, the combat is better than it was in previous titles but that's not exactly a high bar, side quests are meh at best, etc. The replayability is the only thing it has going for it, and even that is mediocre compared to the previous titles. Yet... And even if the fact that TESV is modded into **oblivion** (hehe) could be attributed to the hype it recieved on release and good marketing by Bethesda, there are other cases of games that prove this concept wrong. Roblox doesn't have any content except for the player-created stuff AFAIK. Taking the opposite approach, there are good games with amazing communities and people who want to mod these games, but don't because modding them is too hard. STALKER is open to modding, and so is Source, and Fallout, TES, first two Doom games, etc. Then there are games that are not. Spec Ops: The Line only has config tweak mods, Borderlands series is sort of bad for mods, and don't get me started on how often I finished any of the more obscure games and went like "huh, I liked that and a lot of people liked that too, are there any mods?" just to find out that the only thing I get offered is trainers or savefiles because the game creators didn't offer any modding tools [Way of the Samurai series, agh].

Mod support needs to be implemented in the early stages of a project for it to be effective in fostering a modding community.

If only there was an engine that was open-source, making it easy to modify, and lightweight enough that it could be distributed with the game and run by anyone...

​@@Alex-nl5cy you still need dotnet sdk to run the mono build and a lot of ex unity devs will probably end up using c#

​@@Alex-nl5cy Fingers crossed Valve makes an accessible SDK for source 2.

Operation Harsh Door Holding

my door is holdered

@@liamanderson9104 I won't take behavioral advice from chrome.

Even without huds, the game still gives players information on where their shot at by sound, bullet tracer, and when the bullet impacts. Many inexperienced players won’t notice these key details, however for more experienced or aware players should notice these and know where their getting shot at.

As a sidenote: I personally have been wanting something like that for a long time. I'm very into MilSim and MilSim-light games but like you, I rarely play them. My reasons not being a lack of interest but instead that like I said offline PvE rarely captures the experience that PvP does, and also trying to play PvP is tough for me because most of the MilSim community is, to be frank.... really socially conservative and nationalist :/ So as a trans/non-binary person with a queer sexuality, I don't feel very welcome trying to engage in communities that do MilSim operations and mostly reside myself to watching streams and videos of other people playing them. And like, it makes sense why it's this way. MilSims very easily can be used to roleplay a glorification of militaries and imperialism. Which is unfortunate because I think MilSim operations have a lot of storytelling potential to explore morally grey situations that critique imperialism and push players to make really difficult ethical decisions. But instead most ppl seem to just wanna treat it like team sports. *Sigh*

​@@OddysseyTalksI think this accursed website removed my more elaborate comment, but try looking up "mil-sim" or posting the question in r/LeftistGamersUnion or r/SocialistMilSimGaming or r/SocialistRA to find a chill crowd to play with.

@@beingsactual thank you! I have mixed feelings about a lot of leftist online spaces after being in them for years and a leftist group into MilSims is sounding alarm bells for me about USSR apologist types, but I should give it a look anyway. I appreciate your reply ❤️

@@OddysseyTalks "Which is unfortunate because I think MilSim operations have a lot of storytelling potential to explore morally grey situations that critique imperialism and push players to make really difficult ethical decisions." i guess so but idk it feels like it could be so easily hamfisted (either as a critique or glorification) and doesnt really match with the genre. but yeah "most of the MilSim community is, to be frank.... really socially conservative and nationalist" real. there are a lot of nice people tbh but the problem with that is the negative experiences suck so much that it ruins what could be an hour of fun teamwork and shooting shit and turns it into an unpleasant time (putting it lightly). and next time your brain is like "hmmm what if it happens again" lol.

I honestly had no idea. Thanks!

My mind is blown. Thank you

ArmA III too has an identity core that draws in content creators and fans like Garbaj discussed, but in its case it is the technical basis rather than gameplay design. It's a game of tremendous scale made to simulate combined arms combat over many hundreds of square kilometers in one game session and, despite the infamy and memeage surrounding its glitches and quirks, pulls it off better than anything else. Arma Life exists because it is given the opportunity to create a massive living island on a server, not because of the tanks or ballistics. On top of that, Bohemia Interactive has been (similarly to OHD's mission statement) treating the game as a platform for content creation (even most of its DLCs are companions to feature-rich platform updates meant to give exemplars of newly implemented functionality for people to toy around with and examine to learn what makes them tick). It includes many helpful tools and a powerful scenario creator. Fairly sophisticated custom code can also be easily implemented into scenarios to pull off elaborate tricks. Lastly, ArmA's modding community is long-lived and well-evolved, far predating the third game. Much knowledge regarding the Real Virtuality engine and the games' structure and workflow has been accumulated and made available over the many years. I haven't really looked into OHD, so I don't know what's under the hood, but the technical base ArmA III provides to content creators (and draws them in with in the first place) is an unimaginably high bar to reach, especially just a week into publicity.

@@beingsactual afaik i know OHD is unity based which i think will help spring board it upto the modability status of arma 3 but even if we are talking base gameplay etc take a look at roblox, if roblox received half the petagre scrutiny that ohd has gotten for its base game (or lack there of) then it would be dead in the water but even still dedicated creators have made some pretty awesome things on there and i see the same but for fps shooters as a whole from casual to milsim to arcade pve bullet hells ala doom

What I would do for a squad type game that actually felt good to play

Facts. It’s gameplay is so buttery smooth and performance is a non issue. My second favourite fps to play besides Insurgency Sandstorm

What system do you have? Performance has been much better than I expected.

My guy it's on steam already lol

Read the descriptions properly before spreading misinformation

The DLC is just a way to donate, nothing is locked behind it though the original wording (if they have since changed it) could be interpreted as if there was.

stop
