    Raf, Just wow.... The IMPROVEMENTS The lights, the sound, the Destruction. Im so glad to have scored the rising sequence. This is phenomenal.
  • @danem.9402
    This is amazing! If I may be so bold, one suggestion. It would be really atmospheric if after the alien murder horn sounds, the birds and ambient animal noises go silent. Like even the wildlife is like "aww hell no" and hides. I know this is a work in progress so maybe you already thought of that. Anyways this looks incredible.
  • @quagmoe7879
    I love how many different ways the military tries to attack the tripods. These random events are honestly one of my favorite features at the moment, I feel like it’s going to add so much uniqueness to each run as well as being visually stunning/sounding badass. This game just keeps looking better.
  • @codyking4848
    Whoever is doing the sound design deserves a bonus. It's incredible. I can NOT wait for this to be out!
  • @biltrex
    It's been, what, 18 years? And the sound of those horns, and those duster guns spooling up STILL gives me visceral, unconscious fear deep down in the guts. You've captured the atmosphere really well, I think you're really onto something here, keep it going!
  • @liamrussell9103
    Some dust particle effects would go a long way in selling the destruction effect. This project has improved so much its wild

    2:59 "don't give up hope, we can outrun whatever's chasin-" some poor sucker off in the distance gets absolutely vaporized
  • @Sr._Rubio
    The nuclear scene was truly breathtaking, and I'm thrilled by the improvements you've made. If you can capture the same level of grandeur and intensity in the explosions, I would absolutely love it. Your enhancements have again been fantastic!
  • @BerialNecros
    You can feel every drop of love deposited in this project. Lots of encouragement with the development and thank you very much for making the many fans of this War of the Worlds adaptation happy!
  • @Lemonbaker
    You captured my nightmare perfectly. I feel like this movie hits some of us more than others. Thank you for taking so much time and building this!
  • @hoibsh21
    When something that unnatural and destructive is in the environment there would be no insect or bird sounds, all the wildlife would instantly vacate. Overall this looks fantastic !!
  • @patryk2803
    0:55 - 2:10 - It immediately reminded me of the first scene from the movie... Even today I still get chills!!! That horn and sound of lasers heating up...
  • @anitroll101
    If 7 year old me saw this game I would have lost my marbles, it's the game we've all been waiting for and it looks stunning, thank you Raf for making my childhood dreams come true.
  • Knowing that those giants deploy little creatures to search buildings looking for you will add extra horror but this is terrifying.
  • @skywenn_sr-7155
    This game is really going to be crazy, each time the atmosphere is very impressive knowing that at the beginning it didn't start with much, it's going to be one of the best independent games. I'm so happy that War of the Worlds 2005 is getting finally the recognition it deserves, this movie is just an awesome masterpiece. I would like to see Spielberg see all these unexpected fans of his work which was once misunderstood... AWESOME JOB.

    I pray this game is never abandoned, and never rushed. Yeah we’re as excited as can freakin be, but it’s worth the wait. This game reminds me of Subnautica weirdly enough, simply because of the high appeal it has before it’s even been released, early access or not. I hope this dev team won’t be afraid to allow deviations from the original movie/lore and truly make it their own game. I’m not here ‘just’ because it resembles the movie. I’m here because this looks like an incredible game with a crazy fun concept of survival, not just against the world, but against an enemy killer. I’m here because this looks like it’ll someday be an experience unlike any other, one worth waiting and paying for. I hope they get plenty of financial support for something like this. I can imagine something like this would get TONS of attention from televised ads. Anyways, I’m very excited for this piece of art to someday be released.

    Very much looking forward to the final product. Everyone in the comments has been offering you folks suggestions on how to make the game better by adding this or that. As for me I have only one piece of advice: Bad voice actors are better than no voice actors. Use your own team to voice the characters if you must rather than using A.I. or Text To Speech to do the job. I was totally immersed until one of the characters started talking. It was obvious that I was listening to a machine with no life. A game like this will be all about the human struggle to survive in the face of overwhelming odds. We need to hear it, feel it from the in game characters if we're to believe it. Even if the voice acting is not the best, better that then the cold voice of a machine.

    Cannot wait for this to be released. Everything is just perfect and the War Horns still give me spine chills!
