This video was produced in collaboration with Gianni Matragrano, Vertigo 2 cast member and staple of the retro shooter community. He'll tell you about Vertigo 2's inspirations and design sensibilities, and what makes it stand out from other games like it!
Updated Demo Now Available
In preparation for the full release of Vertigo 2 next year, I have finally updated the demo to reflect how the final game will look and feel. The changes include but are not limited to:
Weapon interaction has been overhauled and now uses physics
Arm and upper body IK has been added
Enemy AI has been greatly improved
Graphics and sounds have been polished
Environments are more detailed and interactive
Lighting has been improved
Performance has been improved
Detailed graphics settings and other options have been added
Note that no new areas or content have been added. In fact, the introduction area has been removed to get new players right into action, so the demo is shorter overall. This is simply an update to make the demo more accurate to the final game, not a brand new demo!
I hope you enjoy the new, much smoother gameplay!
