    [​IMG]Developer iqSoup posted a new Kickstarter update with more information on the development of Age of Grit. The update focuses on the game's airship this time.

    Age of Grit is gradually beginning to coalesce. We are focusing the brunt of our efforts on the combat sequence. Things are coming along nicely and we should have a good battle demo to show off early 2015. We're doing a redesign of the battle UI, reworking things to be more intuitive and just generally more awesome.

    The battle mechanics under the hood are taking shape as well. From a while now we've had a rough outline for how we wanted the combat rules to work, but now we're getting into the nitty gritty. It means a of testing and tweaking to make sure battles feel just right. Everything needs to be weighted and balanced properly. For a bit of research I've personally been playing some Fallout 2 recently. A great classic, but a lot of people complain about the combat. It can be a clunky system for sure, but I for one always liked the intensely strategic feel it had. You carefully calculate every action, considering a whole host of factors. One misstep and you might accidentally blow off your buddy's head with a burst of machine gun fire. I think there's a lot to learn from the early CRPGs and just classic games in general--both from the things they do well and the areas in which they could have improved.

    We have some great airship assets we've been cooking up! This is my favorite part of game development--seeing cool new stuff like this when I check my email in the morning! Here's a couple ships we hope you'll enjoy.​
