First Alpha Release of Warp Speed

After a couple of months of almost releasing the alpha version of Warp Speed we finally made it!

Important things to note:

  • It’s extremely aplha. We’ve tested it on a very few machines. If it doesn’t work on your computer, do not panic. Let us know your basic hardware and software specifications and we’ll try to work this out in the meantime.
  • We want your feedback regarding the movement. Mainly:
    • Is it comfortable enough?
    • Is the game speed fine or too fast? Would you prefer it to be slower?
    • Is it too hard to learn the rotations? Are the rotations intuitive enough?
    • Are there too many keys to manage? (roughly 5).
    • Would you like something to be different?
  • Instructions regarding the movement can be found in the download section

Movement demonstration video

Recently I announced that we’re going to make the first alpha release of Warp Speed by the end of this week. Well, in a perfect world we would have but wesz had to sacrifice most of this week for some stuff that was unrelated to Warp Speed. Still, he managed to rewrite the parts of the base engine that he planned on improving and currently he’s readopting a couple more pieces that rely on these particular parts. It’s a big deal for us as we don’t want to delay the release anymore but we want to make running the first alpha as pleasant an experience for you as possible at the same time, please be patient! Anyway, we don’t come totally empty-handed today!
