That looks sweet!

Thanks Troy.
Anyway, we got a new video up showing off adding some enemies to the scene through the editor and then fighting them :) I have to give most of the credit to Rusty here. He killed it with that sentry model.

Oh man that's getting really good, the health bars are a nice addition rather than the text in the middle, good job team!

Got a little video here showing off what the level editor is like in the game. I haven't really shown this to anyone but Rusty who uses it all the time. Was curious, what do you guys think of it?

Hey we've got a new video showing off mission 2 if anyone's interested.

The getting out of the ship mechanic seems very similar to how it was handled in Prey.
Brandon Smith Mar 27, 2012
Got another video for you guys, this time with missiles and a talking wingman!

While looking cool a small criticism that lock on noise gets very annoying.
Hamish Mar 28, 2012
The voice acting sounds pretty good, but the music is completely underselling it. Other than that, it looks to be developing well.
Brandon Smith Mar 28, 2012
Ah you think? Other people have told me they love the music, so I wasn't sure what to go with. I am working on getting some different tracks though that will hopefully fit the atmosphere a bit better.
Brandon Smith Mar 29, 2012
Ugh, I am tired of putting FPS in my games, hah. This is the last time.

Hey Hamish,

We actually just brought on board a new composer, here's the first track he's produced for us, what do you think?

Hamish Apr 1, 2012
Well, I can not make a fully educated judgement until I can hear it in the game, but I think that track would do better.

The strange thing is it reminds me of the original Age of Empires music somehow. :confused:

Ugh, Ensign has bugs, I want to give up :confused:
Liam Dawe Apr 11, 2012
Don't give up!

Just had to show it off, working on some shaders now :)

What exactly do shaders do?
Brandon Smith Apr 14, 2012
They circumvent the standard way polygons are drawn and give you full control over it. You can use it for per-pixel lighting and for normal maps and the like. And if you don't know what you're doing or want to be creative you get something like my picture.
