Shadows of Kepler

Splinterdog · Aug 17, 2019

I just spotted this survival horror/space game, which is described as being similar to Alien Isolation, Dead Space and similar games.
Judging by the trailer, it does look very polished and the small Brazilian team behind it have been working on it for over two years, according to their website.

Game Shadows of Kepler

Developed by a group of artists, Shadows of Kepler brings the sci-fi horror universe, with RPG elements, charismatic characters and dramatic moments. Welcome to the world of Shadows of Kepler.

Ohh looks great! I hope they take use of the Vulkan API so it's playable on all operating systems & platforms

I look forward to the development of this game and hope it will be on Steam soon or EA Origin

I thought this was going to be about old GPU's. But I'll also accept sci-fi survival horror. Honestly, that's more preferable to me, anyway. Definitely have to pick up that demo!

The demo is now available...downloading.

I came into this topic thinking it was another one about reviving dead Kepler cards.

Thx for the surprise

See, great minds... or perhaps equally mad

Demo needs polishing up as I couldn't remap keys or invert the Y axis

Ill post a video tomorrow as I recorded some gameplay.

Edit: Later today. I forgot its already Friday.

My system kinda barely plays it at max settings. The audio is terrible for voice acting and quality of it. Its very forced in terms of the voice acting in itself and its a buggy mess (I know, its a demo) along with the only way to kill the enemies is with the gun as they are 1 hit kill against you (and you mostly against it).

What if it only runs on 780ti's?
"Please insert compatible card" on launch if not a GTX 7xx

I wouldn't go as far as saying it was terrible, but if you're going to release a game demo, at least give us the option to edit the input keys in the main menu. My brain can't cope with a game where I can't invert the Y-axis and I don't use WASD either.
At least they reply to their Facebook comments, but to say that 'the menu is limited' isn't a good first impression at all.
My other criticism is the use of QTEs for crouching for example. Hit 'E' to crouch in order to move under an object. Ridiculous in this day and age, when a simple 'C' input would suffice.

sepheronx · Oct 18, 2019

You will have to wait hour or two for the 1080p video I guess. But yeah, here is the upload.

Splinterdog · Oct 28, 2019

I've added my two cents worth on the Steam discussion board about keymapping and all the devs do is spam the boards with YouTube videos and claims that they only have one coder.
I fail to see how key remapping, not to mention inverting the Y-axis, can be that difficult to achieve with the Unreal 4 engine.
Their high handed and arrogant attitude has left a nasty taste in my mouth, unfortunately.
