Thank you for doing a Q& A. Its always nice to see how things are progressing and what the mindset is behind the project.

I dislike the cartoon look and thinking that you have to appeal to modern standards(by whose definition??) and make it cartoonish looking just sounds bad. It sounds very...excuse-ish and that you weren't able to replicate the realistic style. Its okay to not be able to do something, but don't say you did it because modern culture demands it, or that you did not have access to the original sources. That's not a valid excuse or reason at all. Sadly, I don't think you even care since you went into the project knowing this. It will take a flop for you to see, so thanks for taking a beloved franchise and altering it because you couldn't be bothered to ask for help.

New art direction is amazingly beautiful!

"Immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Egypt"
Sorry, but I can't immerse myself with cartoonish graphics.
Could there be an option to have the original graphics?

It just looks so childish :'(

1. Choosing to give walker face is probably the biggest mistake if you went with the bobble-head art-style. The original walker rarely show their face and instead use headgear and higher angle to hide their faces. This allow the original dev to not create 100 of faces for each walkers and instead rely on player's imagination to fill in the blank.

Now when you decided to give walker lower angle and show their 'identical face', it make the game look cheap and immersion breaking, like looking at a doll house instead of a city with real people.

2. Another thing I hate about the new walker is their walking speed/sprite. Their walking speed and their walking animation doesn't syn and create the feeling that these walker aren't actually walking, but are some animatronic on rail.

Another way to say it is that the walking animation is too smooth. People don't walk at constant speed but speed up and down for each step. In the original the sprite move at low FPS and stutter, which create a illusion of 'walking speed' from that stuttering.

However in this remake the much higher FPS make the smoothness of the walker look kindna fake, I hope the walker animation cycle can be adjust to fix this.

3. One last thing, I found that lowering the outline thickness of building has negative consequence with the building depth perception in isometric view.

Well I guess I'll keep it on my wishlist for now, just in case you guys change your mind about those awful, beige, slidey footed, bobble-heads. But i don't see myself actually parting with real dollerpounds to watch them skate around a city for hours. It's actually quite impressive how you managed to make characters that are so bland and simultaneously so ugly.

I'm quite surprised at how badly you misjudged your own heritage and the mood of your fan base.

I hate the new art style that the walkers have. I think it's a horrible decision not to stay true to the original art.

Part 2?

Well looks like somebody didn't keep their promise

Looks like a mobile game, disappointing

Honestly after playing the Demo, I'm no longer sure this project has any special pros against original game. The cartoonishness just kills it for me i don't know why. It's not too late to apply some kind of graphic filter over the existing sprites and redraw faces of the walkers.

I used to watch others play this game when I was 4 y.o. and it fascinated me a lot, even if I had no chance to play it for myself.

Then after around 25 years later I again discovered the old game and realized that's an old game from my super early childhood and really liked playing it even with the crappy sprites.

The cartoon graphics look too childish for me. Hopefully they are changed to something more like the old game.

A small objection about the new appeareance of the Seth Temple Complex: The statues beside the front door should be reprensent Seth (Immaginary animal head) and not Anubis (jackal head). I hope you will correct that.

Maybe because it is an altar of Anubis, like when u add the altar and oracle to the temple complex

Do you have a release date please? Could you put Steam achievements please?
Can the demo be available again please?

От реализма к карикатуре :( Работяги, с почерневшей от солнца кожей, превратились в миленьких ухоженных детишек. И где тут понимание и уважение классики? Вся эта мультяшность порядком надоела, ещё этот стиль часто встречается. В итоге ремейк потерял индивидуальность.

И если кто считает, что нынешний Фараон выглядит лучше оригинала, то вы очень заблуждаетесь. Скачайте оригинал и поставьте widescreen патч, тогда увидите насколько оригинал лучше нарисован! И это касается не только NPC, но и зданий, и цветовой палитры.
