I think the suggestion of Tripods crouching and looking through windows, should be tied to them either spotting you previously but lost track of your movements, it ties back to the idea I had during that showcase when a Tripod spotted the player and came over to their last known location, if the Tripod has tentacles, it'll probe the lower floor while crouched so the cockpit can be seeing the upper floor if the building being probed has an upper floor available.

I think it would be cool if the military started fighting back again in the late days, like in the movie . It would give you a sense that the tide of the war is turning. but make it so there isn't as much of a military presence compared to the start of the game, so it makes it look like the military has lost the majority of its forces

This game is a literal dream come true for me, I've always wanted a war of the worlds survival game based on the 2005 movie tripods. In fact, I wanted to become a game developer to try to make a game like this one. That obviously never went anywhere, but I'd like to imagine what it would of been like if I pursued game development instead of becoming a Vtuber. Anyways, enough rambling from me. Thanks for the video, I'm getting more and more excited to see this game released in it's full glory.

I'm worried that it's gonna be one of those games where you just can't wait to start playing but then you get bored after 3 hours. Hopefully they'll keep working on the game and keep releasing updates within reasonable timespans.

I think it would be much more immersive if Raf put in the random period of Tripods death, it could be 5 days, 2 weeks or even 30 days. I think the uncertainty of when it would end would be much more exciting

I would like to see some abandoned military camps or military camps that got destroyed by the tripod when they were holding off

I hope Raf adds More variety to the Military As in diffrent Vehicles and equipment. Maybe some Soldiers can spawn with AT-4s, L.A.W.s, Saw guns, M4 varinets and M16a1 varinets. And Use Mortors and Artillery Howitzers. (Maybe they can hammer the general direction of tripods with Artillery which can potentially and unintentionally shell you if your in a house by a battle) And they can maybe also Use Hugehy Helicopters, Black hawks/ Cobra Chopper's, Little Bird attack choppers, Bradley's, Humvees with Mini guns or AT rockets, AC130s, F-16s, Harriers. and F35s Etc etc Great video as always! the more you cover this game the more excited I get!😂

I made a suggestion into the group about a week ago that got some positive response. 30+ positive reactions. So wondering if you have a view on it Optional origins! Maybe you start by a crashed plane, you have the advantage of resources but away from safety. Start at a military base, so open to weapons and vehicles but are open to an early attack. Farm! Nice big bit of land to your self but away from town markets so despite being stocked up on food, you’ll need to travel far to stock up. Town market! A nice start filled will shops and resources, maybe even a working car. But right in the centre of an incoming Walker. Then the classic simple in the house start. Self explanatory. ✅

Have the npcs hide in houses, as well. If they decide to hide in a house that ur in, then program it to where some of them start freaking out like the old guy, which makes it more strategical, whether u leave the house and risk being caught or kill the npc to shut them up

I would love to see those checkpoints filled with just crowds of people and military trying to escape, it will be so satisfying seeing tripods coming from all sides harvesting everyone

So kit I got a few things I may suggest get added to the game (or already are added) or merely just curious about: Will the developers of the game add more props or things to the city for e.g rubble from destroyed buildings, destroyed military blockades(destroyed tanks, stationary guns like artillery with shells all over the ground) I would also like to now if the developers will add more props to the house for e.g broken glass, spoons, dropped frying pans and they make a noise when you make contact with them so when a tripod investigates a house it makes it more difficult for the player having to focus on his / her surroundings while avoiding its view, the harder the difficulty, the more props there are on the ground. And lastly this is one is hard to do but if possible I would like the player or ai ask the player / ai for help and ask for something like medicine and return give food or water and have a random chance of the ai either betraying by trying to kill you when ai gets what he/she wants or tries to run away, if the player betrays the ai and surrounding ai witnesses it, the player will be distrusted by ai or if the ai the player betrayed survived the ai will try and kill the player for vengeance or tell the other ai that the player can’t be trusted.

Damn i want a tripod making the AAAAAAUUUUGGHHHHH sound

Are they going to make a Camelot similar area?? The scene was deleted in the movie but this game has potential to remake the scene or give us a taste of it

These intros keep getting better.

I think the Tripods should be first person, specifically because it would be too hard for human players to evade them if they were in third-person, and their attacks are instant kills. It's the same reason the killer is in first person in Dead By Daylight, because the survivors cannot really fight the killer, they can only evade them.

Will we be able to play as the individual martians, or be able to send down some of the martians as tripods?

It would be nice if the smoke lines from the missiles were redesigned like they were in the "No shield" sequence. It is not big change but it would be a nice visual improvement.

I wonder if it will be possible to destroy the tripods. Will they have a guage that slowly fills up over time and eventually leads to their shields being deactivated? That guage could be some sort of an "infection" since they did even get weakened because of the bacteria on Earth iirc. Just something to think about.

Yay am so happy there gonna add a way to craft food thanks kit

I think a good idea regarding crafting would be some form of basic noise maker, just a few rocks in an empty tin can that you can throw to distract the probe.

*I disagree with there being 3 tripod variants in the movie, there are really only 2.* There is no reason to suggest that there is a difference between the tripods with 'just heatrays' and 'just harvesting equipment'. As we see during the emerging of the first tripod, the machines obviously have the capability to retract their weapons into or close to the hull in a deactivated state. We also see plenty of times that tripods have the ability to completely retract their entire set tentacles into the hull or just deploy one tentacle at a time. This leads me to believe that the tripods are multi-purpose; they can use their heatrays to exterminate humans (which often happens to herd large groups of humans towards harvesting zones, such as the Hudson ferry lake) and then retract these weapons and deploy their tentacles to harvest humans or scout buildings as appropriate. The ONLY evidence to suggest that there is possibly two different types of tripods for these functions is the fact that after the first tripod scorches the streets and Ray hides in an alley, we get a good shot of the underside of the tripod as it marches past and there are no visible cages underneath the hood. This might however just have been an CGI oversight on the editer's part. The only obvious variant of tripod is indeed the machine we see during the battle on the hill; they appear to have a broader and flatter head, thicker legs and 5 lights instead of 3. These are probably some type of heavy duty tripod as we see them engaging heavy military resistance, however they were never officially titled 'Warrior' by anyone involved in the movie's production.

do all ways the aliens go down in the home after the probe

I can't wait to craft some peanut butter sandwiches to toss at tripods.

It be cool if there be even more unique types of tripods, like the Jeff Wayne tripods but remade in the 2005 style. Like a hulking 4 legged machine that is terraforming. Oh and maybe bring the black gas! So many ideas XD

Love your videos, you do an excellent job of summarizing the information we need to know from the community and the developer. The only question I'd put forward would be if not asked; If third person for the tripod would be something introduce, will third person be added to your own character be added?

I want to see if items have weight? Like backpacks slowing you down or removing stamina

Maybe you can craft homemade explosives in the game and set up IEDS for the tripods to walk over and possibly damage the legs?

this is as good a game as any to leave the narrative as emergent as possible, without any preset story beyond Tripods appearing, imo. as much as the 2005 movie did have a clear structure and character development, its biggest strength still comes from obstacles emerging, and characters overcoming them, and I think that's what the game should also be about, let the players and the subsequent gameplay create a unique story each time

thanks pal :)

Channels growing so fast tf

Evac points instead should have a surplus of survival materials like food and water, as realistically this is what would be brought to these places. Instead, the danger should be that these supplies are high when NPC ai begin accumulating at these places, which in turn draws in the tripods. If you try going to them after the obliteration, then few supplies until the next time civilians start appearing and military start to accumulate again.

Crafting makes sense in this style of game, but I hope arena-style survival gameplay and looting/crafting doesn't take away from the raw experience of avoiding combat and pursuing countermeasures. This game can stand out even further apart from others if it ditches the PUBG/DayZ formula for something more traditional (L4D/Killing Floor atmosphere & objectives?)

Imagine windows being boarded up the further into the game you get

I guess makeshift supressors for pistols could be good. You would need a couple of steel nuts, a plastic 2L bottle and a bunch of steelwool to craft it. When equiped to a pistol, it somewhat supresses the sound. The downside is that it would only last for a limited amount of shots and you will not be able to aim down sights once it is attatched...

YES YES YES THE GOAT BACK AT IT

Battle at sea？maybe no a radio tower fully operation ？or commander？ or fire cracker to Distract the tripod or sirend sound or somthing… attack helicopter or a hiding bunker to hide or large scale battle ？what your choice？anything？well ends here bye

i cant wait for this game

have tri pods Emote when they think there alone lol

Sup, I'm the essay guy again, but instead, this is just a single paragraph, so yeah, also, nice video as always! Anyway, for crafting, I was thinking that you could maybe find a few wood plank pieces in some houses garages, and using 3 of them, you could craft a wood plank, and using that you could barricade doors, and that would help possibly with blocking the probe if it ever tries to come in, but the tripod would just smash the door and almost half of the house open maybe, if the door is barricaded, but you could be hiding in the basement, also, could you crouch and get out through windows and also open windows? I think that would be pretty cool, and maybe cooking could be a possible option for certain things. Anyway, I didn't have many ideas, so uhh, yeah, by the way, nice video!

Do you think civilians will attack your car like in the 2005 movie? Because I think that would add a little risk to driving a car.

Haha nice can't wait to make a massive army Battle vs the tripods

Man, there has to be Easter egg with basement in town with that crazy guy from movie. I would literally sh1t myself after seeing this

really hope this will eventually come to next gen consoles...looks amazing do far.

A suggestion that you can bring to the developer is to add black smoke which is extremely poisonous I think it would add more suspense to it that I think it would be, it wasn’t in the film but it does have it in the original novel so it would be nice to show it

4:33 I think that comment is about the tripods speading blood for the blood weed for terra forming

good job you mad it to 2thosend subs

It would be interesting to have npcs that try to "help" you, aka have a basement for you to hide in or some such with supplies and so on. But you the player don't know if these npcs are truly wanting to help, straight up evil or just slowly going crazy and create a ever increasing risk of being discovered the longer you stay with them. Also, I think having a variable time frame for the invaders to die from illness would add an element of uncertainty to the end game. Looking forward to playing when it comes out!

how long after the patreon early access release will it take to be available to everyone on steam other than just patreons, and do you have to continue paying the patreon monthly fee to keep access to the game? i love this game and im really excited for it and i just really want to know.

How are doing today sir kit and rafe so I have a suggestion can we see some lakes and small rivers to simulat a realistic environment as in really life to see rivers in middle of the forest and see some camping and ranger towers close by in the rivers or the lakes it just a recommendation and can we like control the thickness of the fog I the game through settings?

Holy crap I'm madara uchiha I never thought I would be in a video lol

Blood doesn't evaporate lol, it coagulates, hardens and dries up. I think a better "in lore" explanation for blood rain would be that part of the blood that the tripods are spraying around ends up in the atmosphere.

Raf actually put the blood rain on he new feature to add on the trello.

will there be diffferent versions of tripods to change from like the musical or the 1906?

Well we get fighter jets and choppers in this game?

What about digging tunnels between buildings, if you have the ressources!?

I feel it is important to mention that you can support this game for $1 a month! That will get you the early access version too!

Will uberpods command idle tripods not doing much?

In the Externination mode, is that it's like the Co-Op but some people can also be Tripods, or is it a kind of Team Deathmatch mode, in which its say a ratio of 1 Tripod to 10 humans with military gear and weapons as Marine Corp Soldiers (because I would love to go to battle with other people shouting this candence lol: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irKdn8p02cunfas.html)

GOAT

Will there be an early access so that players will get the chance to give suggestions on how to improve the game?

because i love the war of the worlds. U got sub + Like from my side. A question. How much will this game cost when released? is there possibility to get it now as early access? Will the graphics get better over the years?

Will there be diferent tipes of fighter jets randomlly atacking tripods

hello again Kit I again have some idea but only three this time because the afters where answered as I watched and I would like to let you know that I am finally join yours and the war of the world discord anyway 1. I find this highly unlikely to happen but will there be in game music. 2. will there be a cinematic mode to enter when alive mainly for cool shots in game. 3. will there military mode to enter.

Will it be possible to kill a tripod?

Hoping the towns look a little less sparse. Needs a lot of clutter lying about instead of such neat streets. NPC humans could have mentalities, some are the hiding type, some try fighting, others leave and try to set up camp in houses etc.

i love you kit

Yey

I still wonder if the game will be available on other platforms other than steam.

How big is the map?

cool

Why does the tripod have spaghetti arms and throw rubble in the air when harvesting

how much money dos early access cost or the game wen it comes out

hello

I have a suggestion. Being able to recruit friendly NPC's into groups of at maximum 6-10 where you could have certain NPC's help you gather items or to attack other NPC's to get items just in general leading a group to do what the player desires although i imagine them dying a lot

Mods will not be supported... btw good video!

Raf must be losing his mind from our suggestions. I hope he makes an f ton of money from this

Shame they based it on the shitty 2005 movie instead of the book

Iv started following you on instagram

Aliens everywhere
