Unfinished: Galak-Z: The Dimensional 03/21/2014

wow this looks really good.

Nothing stops the Quick Look EX! not even Unprofessional Fridays.

Looks really promising.

Somehow this quicklook makes me miss the Escape Velocity games, maybe it's the pirate fleets and various other factions clashing while you take potshots. I wish someone would make a real EV sequel. Anyways, back on topic, this game looks pretty cool.

This should probably be an Unfinished EX, shouldn't it?

That's a pretty good point. Maybe it should.

Jeff explained why they don't do this on his blog.

"Unfinished is primarily meant for games that don’t have a lot to them, like some Early Access games or cases where we get footage (either footage we’ve shot ourselves or provided B-roll) instead of a game we can properly play ourselves. Unfinished videos typically get a date or a version number or some other sort of indicator that will allow us to check in on a game multiple times during its development without confusing people as to which video is which or why we’d do multiple “Quick Looks” of the same game."

The Skulls Of The Shogun, well, Skull, design on the engines is a nice touch.

Looks like a fun time. Not being punished for hitting the walls is a nice addition too.

@bicycle_repairman: Without a doubt, guy speaks in depth about the game and plays it very proficiently. This game looks dope and my PS Vita is hungry, would like to see GB check this out again before release.

Sweeeet. This looks splendid. Hope it arrives on Steam someday.

fuck man this looks fantastic

Those credits met and exceeding expectations.

I pretty much agree with you. Tossing a comment out like that smacks more of "look at what I know" instead of really contributing to the conversation. However, it's a pretty common trap to fall into. I'd hate to have my conversations played back to me to see what terms I casually throw around.

I've watched this quick look 3 times now; Galak-z looks so amazing. Would love to see Vita footage of it since that's the platform I'll be buying it on.

Those ending credits are everything they should be.

Looove the art direction and effects in this and the dynamic random nature of the levels and enemies is cool.

I always get a kick out of watching a developer play his or her own game and visibly have a blast doing so. That kind of joy is contagious.

Oddly enough this is the game that has me thinking about getting a PS4 - but I wouldn't be surprised to see it on other platforms because I think this is one of those "launching exclusively" titles.

With all the times he mentioned something not being done yet, this sounds like it should be labeled Unfinished or Unfinished EX.

Starblazers was awesome

How is this a roguelike? Honestly the term has gotten way too nebulous. When you say "roguelike" I think of something like Shiren the Wanderer.

Wow this game looks like a lot of fun! I really like how the ship moves around and the overall look of the game.

I'm all up in this game. Looks amazing. I'm totally sold from the credits though. haha

JESUS man, video games are awesome

Invincibility frames. Quite literally frames during which you are invincible. Anyone who knows what a frame is can figure out what that means in half a second. Plus, he was describing it like a Ninja Gaiden roll which is a really great example of invincibility frames.

Love, love love the look of this game. Really loved how incredibly passionate the developer sounded also. Can't wait to play this.

The first Unfinished EX! Great behind the scenes during UPF.

Game Looks incredible! Still PS4 exclusive though right? bummer...

Dude.

Invincibility frames was, as someone else put it, an off-the-cuff remark that was perfectly applicable to what I was talking about. Do you seriously think I sit around coming up with questions to ask so that I'll look cool? To who? In front of my friends? Am I 12-years-old? I realize that's how I look without a stache, but c'mon.

The term works in the context of a free form Quick Look, especially for a game with a roguelike elements, but it's not one I'd ever use in an article, at least not without explaining what the term meant first.

That said, the psychoanalyzing of our behavior is some of my favorite stuff, please, do go on.

P.S. Bison burgers are really good.

@patrickklepek: My bad. My gut reaction was that a press demo is a weird time to bring up that terminology, but who am I to judge? You have more experience with that situation than I do. We cool?

I should try these bison burgers you speak of.

SOLD, the fake cartoon credits absolutely sold me on this game, I'm in love!

We're all good.

The Dimensional what?

If/when this hits PC I'm all over this.

Yep. Must buy it.

Also, REEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY wish they could keep the Doom shotgun sound! SO FUCKING GOOD!
