Somehow I have the feeling he is trying to avoid my question about the "fun" factor. I called it gameplay.

I don´t want to push you, if you don´t want to answer no problem... You can also answer something like: "We have still some problems with the gameplay, but we are working on that..." I have no problem with that. Because I remember I saw a video of the game some time ago... and in a video you can say a little bit about the gameplay, because you see if there are girls with boobies, nice movement and action and interesting level design. Of course I don´t expect everything to be perfect, but sometimes it´s useful to get hints like "that here should be different like this or that", or "that can easy be fixed by doing that..."

Ok, ok... on the otherside the game is maybe too unfinished to talk about that yet (like the game is just done to 15% or something)...

a remark on graphics : weapons are outstanding good
on the town : too much specular on floor and right house.

on last screen , yes the rock is strange : too much specular like it would be rainning a lot and texture bump seems strange ,
rocks don't have such bumped textures , their bump would be more smooth less irregularities.

Just my feelling , i must be wrong perhaps.

a demo someday ?

Our focus is to make the best First Person Shooter ever made with Acknex technology in graphics and gameplay. We are still in the first year of development and reached our milestones like a demo for dusmania so there will be much more in the future.

Yes this rock in the background really sucks alot.

You really have to right attitude. This is the way of success. Reach for the best quality, care for your milestones and don't let you discourage from negative stuff that unfortunately often appears here in these forums.

I wish you the best!

hey, this project looks great!
did you made some outdoor levels allready?
a little ingame video would be great to see how this well-looking shaders will look in action.
hope you keep it up

This project is coming along greatly. About the gameplay/gfx debate:

Most probably you wont have AAA style advertising - knowledge of this will get out by mouth, which means you must have good gameplay so that what people will say about it is good.

It's an indie game - not many people will upgrade to play this. Also, there will always be better AAA games in terms of GFX... an indie game in my opinion must get an audience through solid gameplay.

However, most people care a lot about GFX, and its the first thing they see - First impressions are important.

It's free (I think). The ratio of people who know about it and have played it will be closer to 1:1 than an AAA game. More people who know about it will know its gameplay. Get solid gameplay.

The choice is yours, ofc both is excellent, but take these things into account (unless I'm wrong).

BTW, am I the only one thinking this project belongs in SC2?

@vartan_s:
as far as im concerned posting in "showcase2" belongs to the current state of developement of the project (is there already a demo, a trailer etc...) not to the grafical quality (correct me if im wrong)

Just a comment:

I don't think you can comment on gameplay when you havn't seen anything yet, feel free to critique what they have put forward but don't assume that the gameplay is bad because they have good graphics.

Keep up the good work Lived team.
