You read my comments in the interview right? Graphics are going to get a complete overhaul. Expect to see this said overhaul in the FULL ALPHA. Trust me, you will be impressed. Work is already underway on this. I'll be making an announcement shortly about this.
But first things first, the ALPHA 'preview' build. It's not about the graphics, which we all know are sh*t. It's about the physics and the controls and the gameplay. What I want people to get out of this preview teaser build is to see the potential of what the final game will be like. Secondly, we hope to get some critical feedback on (not the graphics!) but the control system and the overall approach we have taken. And most of all, let us know the all important question - is it fun?
