I wouldn’t have thought I’d go with epic but 3 and 4 are the games I remember most vividly. And as I read all the novels fleet action is definitely the one I remembered most vividly. The downside is those stories are also unsustainable. WC3 and 4 both gave the problem to their sequels of “now...

Can you share the save game? That would let us see if we can recreate it.

How comes the switch port? :)

That looks so smooth, if only GoG or KS ran that consistently.

I covered the reasons why in the last update but my issues with 4 are just the feel of the flight mechanics. On paper it's a great design and props to the design team, and I do love all the various mechanics that CR mentions there. I think that Ace level is the level the games were intended to...

It's lack of time driving me, just came off a year of long hours and we have a third kid on the way. Once the new screamer arrives I'll be out of it for atleast a year - before that happens I'd like to try and get something out to maybe get some new recruits. Or EA if you're listening we could...

Not sure we learn much about who is to blame for the difficulty. Also I’m not sure an exponential difficulty curve is a good thing - yes on average the latter half of the game should be harder than the first as you’ve theoretically gotten better at it - but I’d say the SM and SO campaigns show...

Not yet but I’ll do that! I’ve been going through the games and books in chronological order, reading freedom flight as I play SM2 etc. Ive started end run a little early, as I’ve only completed WC2 not SO yet so I may put it to one side for a bit. It’s a great way to play, it has probably been...

You weren't the only one. It's mostly a pre-emptive comment, I'm likely to become very busy shortly after the next CIC birthday so am desperately trying to get the demo out before then which may mean not everything gets polish. Glad you like the effect, they were a pretty quick addition. When...

It's not a long term solution, but remodelling work has all kinds of knock on effects to the texturing. For the demo we need a new animated cockpit, stormfire effects, jump in effects etc etc. Things like that will get fixed but probably not in time for the demo.

I agree with this, and we are trying to match the FMV, only looking to the gameplay assets when there is no reference there. That said as we are using the original script files diffences in dimensions would potentially introduce issues so that is one area where we are trying to be consistent...

I don’t think Hobbes needed rewriting, the events of FF fit in quite well with his personality overlay. I think it was probably the firekkans.

Well no, the original asset didn’t have proper bays, it had hellcats parked at 45 degrees which didn’t match the fmv at all. We bumped up the bay sizes from the original but it's still slightly too small for the Hellcat (other ships are ok) and the placement marker is slightly off centre which...

Couple of thoughts from chapter 6: Regs seem pretty relaxed for Hunter to be just going on a joyride like that A couple of hours to clear the deck of a fighters debris? Obviously Rosie’s fighter was in one piece but that seems a long time. Capship tractor beams sound really advanced and far more...

I've made it through Pilgrim Truth and caught up through the first 5 chapters of FF. Not much to add. Obviously the paragraph: "How, after all, could Sivar approve of a war that held no true victories? How could the god approve of a war in which, increasingly, the highest number of deaths were...

New update, minor one this time https://wcrespace.com/now-he-can-learn-to-fly-with-shields-up-like-grandma/

The hellcats in the hangars are scaled down slightly. The arrows and the hellcat you fly match the original games scale. We will look into addressing the scale of the parked Hellcat down the road but it's not a burning priority for the demo.

The ships don't have any baked lighting, so that's a fairly accurate representation (it's the hangar model which is overexposed due to doubled up lighting. Although the truck probably has too much specular, as I recall it was missing a specular map). Here is a chunk of the texture. You're right...

Yeah I'm not fond of the green arrows either, but blame Origin - and even then be kind, WCIV was made with a schedule that if I were presented with it I'd be immediately searching for a new job.

Everything we show is WIP, it should go without saying that nothing we show is as it will be released. We're not a developer with funding and a PR department and we don't divert our resources into polishing for these updates, we show it as it comes in. As such we're always aware balancing still...
