What's the point of making a free game if only a handful of people can play it. For the time being Windows XP is still a usable (although dated) OS and we don't want to drop the support for it. However most hardware vendors have moved on and so there is a good chance that at some point we will...

Nobody noticed that they called Paladin "this Russian guy" around 2:25? Well I guess they thought if he doesn't sound like them he must be Russian!

Good luck and a quick recovery. Let that be the last operation she will ever need to have.

Thanks NinjaLA! You are right Fred. We know the game is very difficult at times.:confused: That is why we are already balancing the game for the next version and we consider adding a level of difficulty option. So stay put and the game will be much more accessible soon.;) Thanks for the...

Thanks everyone! Just to open your appetite a little bit here are some more in game grabs:

Thank you very much. We are glad you like it! Since it is the WC CIC birthday in one week we have prepared a brand new "Anniversary Edition" of our Destiny's Way magazine. :cool: You can find the full issue on line here: http://flatuniverse.solsector.net/dway.html along with all the...

Oh $#!t!:confused: That's...... bad......

Hey everyone, I thought I would just pop in and share a bunch of screenshots. You know to get an idea of what is coming.... ;) PS: All images are in game grabs

Well the plan says that we will deliver an in-game mission/campaign editor anyway. The thing is that this editor won't be open-source, as some other members requested. On the other hand the file format for the missions/campaign will be open and so apart from the in-game editor anyone could make...

Nope no summer vacation (not yet at least!). Keep in touch and the new version is coming soon!;)

Hi Mace, Thanks for the additional info. I've logged it as a bug. We will have to dig up our good old hotas gear and test it. It makes sense to be an axis related problem. Hopefully it will be solved with the coming release.

Amazing both of them! Who would thought that I would actually look at a Tarsus and miss it!

Aginor you ask to many questions, you know that? Good I like that!;) Well lets see... Maps and Mission Design Our game is build in a similar way to the open universe of Privateer. We have a group of interconnected systems each one being a scene (that's a map). Each system has no boundaries but...

Guys, As requested we have added normal dates next to the in universe dates for our news announcements. More over we have set up a twitter account linked with our announcements for anyone who wishes to follow (https://x.com/maslasbros). Keep the suggestions coming!

Thanks for your support guys. It keeps us going! Well, we use a private mercurial server as our versioning system and git to hg conversions are not particularly good, plus for several reasons we keep the project closed sourced (although its totally free!). Thus GitHub is out of the question for...

- Well not exactly down the road... The first of those is supposed to be flyable not in the next update but on the one after ;) - At the moment we design our missions directly in the game engine. However we have planned for and have the mechanics ready for a graphical mission editor that will...

Thank you very much for the feedback. It is really helpful to fine tune the performance of the game. We are glad you liked it. We are trying hard to inject a genuine Wing Commander feel into the game. Of course suggestions for improvement are always welcome. ;)

Well thank you for your good words. We have a lot work to do still but there is no better reward for us than all you people enjoying the game. However I think the real fun will come when we will have the multiplayer part ready...;) Thanks again

Of course it is a good idea. But its not simple alpha and beta versions. We have a versioning system with milestones. Between these milestones we will upload regular updates (hopefully monthly) so that we can fine-tune through your feedback and suggestions all those things. For instance we are...

One of our to mid-term goals is to optimize the performance issues. Unfortunately this is much harder than it sounds. We are not a huge company with dozens of computers of varying specs lying around to test and so the procedure is slow and with lots trial and error. Moreover we are pretty...
