Hmm havent played recent tutes, will have a look. We should eventually do away with tutes, rather use the first few missions to introduce controls and functions slowly - much more elegant. It will come, got a lot of models to build first. @mrTwosheds - lol, its mostly WSAD, T to target and mouse - b...

I learned a new word today...

Anatidaephobia: The fear that somewhere in the world, there is a duck watching you.

No, standalone indie. Gotta come up with a whole world (several in fact).

I actually like just "Void" - kinda cool and hasn't been used AFAIK (except The Void which is like an old txt adventure or something). And yes smartasses you destroy a void by filling it, in this case mostly with debris. Making all that debris is fun anyways - like I said it's heavily WIP,...

It's being designed from ground up with modding in mind already, object definition stuff is all in plain text XML - Paul the programmer hopes that modders will take it on with eg: B5 or Star Trek fleets, would be nice to see.

We're using Ogre - which, thanks to a thriving community of code gurus and other assorted genius can basically do whatever you want it to. Texturing is in fact really basic yet, just diffuse and spec with single light source and lots of sharing. Grab the demo and check it out. @GBD - na lol all your...

Iteration 11 Alpha build is now available at http://www.voiddestroyer.com. Enjoy

We decided to run with a Cel shaded toon look - partly cos we both fans of the old 80s manga but mainly so I could concentrate on smashing out a bunch of models and FX without needing to worry about shaders etc (all the graphical whiz bang will be full screen compositors instead, later). Plan is to ...

Next alpha will be out in a few hours I hear...

Howdy all! Long time users may have noticed my prolonged absence, I've been busy... As many would be aware, I was planning to release a space fleet TC with Epic which allowed player to command and control armadas of frigates and destroyers in orbital and deep space battles. The assets are built for ...

Bryce makes really pretty ray cast shadows too...

We tried a heap of different variations during FE, it was tricky to alter the orange without making them look muddy and dull. Light Desert camo with the orange go-faster stripes works best for me - you really need a lot of contrast between the gunmetal greys and the coloured areas.

Don't vote, it just encourages the politicians. I was once Aussie. I defected to the aliens after some other Aussies elected Johnny Howard.

Storytime... I was fortunate enough to have Kens ear really early in 1.3 development - he quickly fixed some niggly view distance issues among other things that were stopping a few shows. After seeing some of the new stuff he also expressed interest in the potential of the Epic TC (ground+aerospace)...

Don't get me wrong, not expecting the impossible otherwise I'd sooner be asking for HDR with normal maps and SSAO... TBH it's lookng and playing so well with 1.6 (for my purposes at least) that it's dragged me back to modding the bloody thing yet again lol. Carpet bombers are sweet, other planes pla...
