LOOKING FOR EVEN MORE PROJECT LOKI INFO? One of Loki's Executive Producers, Jon Belliss, did a great interview with Polygon on some deeper mechanics of Project Loki and how we're trying to meld the teamplay of MOBAs with the physics and combat of a 3D action shooter: www.polygon.com/23776098/project-loki-theorycraft-games-pc-playtest

You guys should dig hard and deep into why Battlerite, a universally loved game that’s similar to yours, died and learn from it.
Combat system reminds me of Battlerite, this is totally what I was looking for, I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Yep, the whole thing reminds me of battlerite royal with some cherries on top. I truly hope they will succeed where stunlock failed, cause I loved battlerite to death

@@Nightflash28 I feel you man, I would love to continue playing battlerite but finding a match nowadays takes forever since basically no one's playing it.
probably one of the more unusual compliments but the color usage in this game is great and the team did an amazing job creating the color palettes for the characters !!!!

I especially like how the environment is desaturated while spells are more saturated. LoL never changed it's original map because they were afraid you wouldn't be able to see skillshots well enough. But with this system you can implement many different map color patterns without it hurting the visibility of spells/abilities too much.

Ikr? The art direction is so crisp! I love the way they use contrast
"Going to war against the industry on the behalf of our players" is exactly what we need. You'll soon have a dedicated player base that'll be a willing license to print money thanks to this, as long as you don't betray your word and come at us with predatory monetization. I also must salute your employee benefits, thank you for promoting sane working conditions !

league is point and click, this is wasd + mouse orientation. VERY DIFFERENT, its actually battlerite.
That map traversal tho... incredible

The game is amazing in so many ways, the map traversal is one of them but the combat is crisp and mechanically satisfying. There is a lot of systems and depth that make it replayable and fun every match. There are multiple modes too. I've been playtesting off and on for 2 years and its been my most anticipated game for a while.

The people from the team I've interacted with are kind and fun to play with, I can't help but root for them. 40 Hours in and looking forward to so many more.

Didn’t mean to click on the video but I recognized your face somehow Joe as if a memory deep in my brain was unlocked. As soon as you said grizzled ancient then you mentioned your days on Halo with a clip from the Reach vidoc. I was like I sure as hell know who you are! What a legend!
This team looks hihly bright and happy, I hope you'll be able to make great games
I genuinely love characters design and how gameplay looks. Plesnt surprise for sure!
A lot of companies have been trying to make BR style MOBA for ages, this looks like the most polished version will definitely give it a try.

There is a mode like this in Mobile Legends but as an LTE.
This is amazing! It's so cool to see you doing this format again, and I love the idea of bucking up against what the multiplayer industry has become these days! Battlerite was super fun but always suffered from too few players. I don't know what else made that game fail but I'm sure you guys have thought a lot about the causes and are looking at ways to do things differently!
i've been trying to do something like this on my own for a long time and it's so heartwarming to see others doing the same
I am from Latin America, this game is very promising; You can see the love they have put into this project. It shows how everyone has put their ideas together and created this work of art. I will share the video everywhere. without a doubt it will be the game of the century.
Had this pop up in my recommended and I’m so glad it did!! Cannot wait to try it out, it looks electric!
Looking forward to diving into this world! I've been following this since the original teaser concept art.
amazing. i’ve been following since summer 2021 when i first play tested
This game has been a blast to play test! The team behind it seems really focused on player experience and making a fun and engaging game, really looking forward to seeing it progress through development! Go go Theorycraft team!
This looks so cool! Definitely checking this game out and can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us in the future!
The footage looks great, the mechanics shown are interesting and the characters are awesome! All the best of luck to you guys! :D
This looks so hype! Can't wait to see more of it - it looks like it could be DEEP and FUN!
I clicked since this guy's face looked familiar and indeed he was.
I love the character come pov and how mouse guides all actions and vision. I love there seems to be no auto targeted auto atacks. I imagine this will be extreme to balance but so much meta evolving in game because of flexibility of maps and tools. This has insane potential
Perfect, the exact type of game that I've wanted to play for years and didn't find until now :)
looks really sick and is way above what i would expect from a new team. looking forward to it and loving the art. it looks visually fantastic and the combat looks amazing too
LET'S GO THEORYCRAFT!!! Testing has been an honor

Looks great! Hope to get in to the playtest and maybe run some tournaments if there is a solid custom game/spectate function in later releases 👀
The battle mechanics reminded me a lot of Battlerite! A game that I always liked a lot but that unfortunately did not progress. Excited to try this one out!!
Really wish this team the best! Seems like they can make something wonderful here
It’s been a blast play testing this and can’t wait for the future!
A legend with his own studio finally, let's see how this goes.
I played a ton of battlerite and absolutely adored it. Some of the characters here look fairly similar and the gameplay looks like an upgraded version of what battlerite was with its own unique style and I’m so excited to get that feeling again of just absolutely losing myself in a game that felt like it was tailor made to me and the rest of the community.
That is some nice footage of some great plays. Nice set of features too, I like the decision to have line of sight limits so people can hide without extra stealth mechanics.
Really excited to playtest it, looks so beautiful, fun and feels like you can move so freely around the map while fighting that I just simply love it. That being said, I'm from Chile so hopping people from this side of the globe get hyped enough to have a community to play with during the playtest period lmao
I can't wait to tell my kids I was part of Project Loki pre pre pre pre pre alpha
Signed up after seeing this! Looks like a ton of fun, hoping to get to try it out soon 😄
More than 1000 hrs of battlerite here, i miss that game a lot, and this looks amazing, hopefully it will be my next adiction
Looking to playtest in the past, now I wana try it even more!
I’m wishing this studio and game the best! It looks so much fun!
The gameplay looks smooth and polished, clear design, really promising game!
Having played games like Battlerite trilogy and now Eternal Return, this looks like both of them combined a top-up battle roayle with the squad, and I'm all here for it :) I'll be keeping an eye out for a playtest opportunity to this one.
Looks super promising so far, definitely one to look forward to for me
I'm so looking forward to the games you will bring to the table. Welcome to yt algorythm after only 1h ^^ I'm so glad that i didnt miss this anouncement
This looks amazing! Visually, as I see it now, it looks more like battlerite/Royale, which I have several hours of play. It is still the beginning and it seems that it still needs time, but it has a future!I hope I get a chance to try it out and help as much as I can with feedback!
Absolute Banger!!!
I got to see some of the pre-release concept art and illustrations a few weeks ago, super cool to see a full trailer!
This looks so fun and exciting already
always been a huge fan of battlerite, seeing this kind of game being revived especially from such a promising team makes me wanna scream. I can't wait!
As a League play i thought it was fun but didn’t think it was my playstyle until 3:22 when he mentioned League and the similarities just clicked for me,this looks like League but honestly just more fun,im not sure if i like how zoomed out the camera is and it’s positioning but that aside i can’t even put into words how excited i am for this game! I really,REALLY,for many reasons hope that Theorycraft games succeeds and goes a long way.

I missed you so much Joe! Still remember you from the league days. I will definitely try out your game.
Good stuff so far, Im excited to play more and see the roster expand to find that one character that becomes my main
This is awesome and I am extremally hyped for this game!!!!!!!!!! KEEP THE UPDATES COMING!
Applied and hopefully will get an opportunity to playtest!
Man, it's been a while since i've seen joe's face and not gonna lie i missed it a lot ! The game looks amazing and incridibly fun ! Can't wait to test it!
Got this on my recommendation feed and this looks awesome! Can’t wait!
Man, played this game since first playtest. I’m so happy and excited to see where it started, its growth, and where its going. I already probably have at the very least 30 hours on this game and I’m looking forward to so many more!

I would love to see an art book released before or after the games release! I would totally buy it.
Been needing my battlerite replacement for years now, if anyone can do it, its you guys! Looks great so far, can't wait to get in on the action!
Wow focus on mobility/aim looks awesome. cant wait to get my hands on it
I'm not super-duper into PvP, but the game looks extremely fun. Even if you don't have the time and budget to accommodate a non-competitive crowd, I wish Theorycraft the best of luck!
This looks super exciting!
Super exited for this, just leaving a comment to help with the algorithm
here's to hoping for a new forever game 😊
looks very cool, smooth transition in 2:45 from illustration to gameplay :P looks super fun !!
Looks very interesting. I'm definitely going to keep up with this.
Good luck, Theorycraft team! And good work, Chilemaniac ❤
My new game after 11 years playing league ❤❤❤
This game reminds me of Battlerite, good days
Congrats on the announcement guys!!
this looks fun! hope to see more!
This game looks amazing, thank you so much for creating it!.. ❤❤❤
If I had the capacity to build a game, it would be just this. Can’t wait to play test and be part of the community!
this has the old school gaming studio vibe that actually listens to its community before they sell out. I am in love and cant wait to play.
Finally something to fill up the hole that battlerite left me. Looks awesome!
looks really fun. excited to pour tons of hours into another game
Wow, wow, wow. This looks SO fun to play. Me and my buddy have played every game with isometric moba-like control that has caught wind and loved it. League of Legends, Battlerite(+Royale), V rising, Bap Bap - this looks to add exactly the gameplay elements we would want in all of those games.
Looks really good, would definetely play it, keep that hard work on!!
playing now since 12 years League and now finally a fresh game what looks intresting for me and also from a familar face :D
Genuinely so excited for this! Thank you Joe and the team!
I'm not a moba guy, but heres a comment for the sake of algorithm. I think what you folks are creating here is sick so this is the least I can do to possibly support.
I already wanna try this out. Can't wait
" we think there will always be a need for game studios who are willing to go to wat with the industry on behalf of players"
This looks sick. Can't wait to play it when it launches.
Reminds me that battlerite battle royale. Just on steroids. Looks cool though! Iv been signed up to play test for a while :)
Not to reopen old wounds... but remember back in the day when Riot wanted to make a 10v10 map called the Magma Chamber? This totally reminds me of it, but on a grander scale with all the teams fighting each other. Congrats on picking up my interest again in top-down arena games, Theorycraft
This looks promising. I really hope it pans out and turns into something big. I feel like eventually every studio succumbs to the industry in an unfavorable way for their community, but man I really want to see how this does and hope it does good. I'm tired of number-checking ghouls that ignore the player-base no matter what, or just give out fake promises one after another
subscribed to keep track of this cause it looks amazing :D
Can't wait to hear more this sounds very dope , congratulations on your own company !
Gameplay footage looks absolutely insane! Good luck!
I'm not usually someone who's into BR games just because I'm not that great at shooters and don't have the time or attention span to "git gud". And then I'm not that great at league for the same reasons so I usually just ARAM because team fighting is the fun part of League to me, as well as the accelerated pace, of the matches. This game looks like it's shooting for something that might be the best of both worlds for me personally. Signed up and hoping for a key soon
As a long time League and Battlerite player this looks VERY promising but one immediate critique I have is how bright everything is. Yes it looks super beautiful but it seems so hard to distinguish all the skills from the actual background and in games like these this has to be one of the top priorities
Amazing game!
That is a good nuke :) Could possibly be a great nuke
very exciting! looks like very fun to mess around in with friends and try cool combo'sç! Exactly my thing!
Sounds exciting!
Super excited for whatever the hell this is! Looks like a lot of League DNA with way more creativity and player expression
Can't wait hope this will be great.
