We have: 1 programmer (part time) 1 artist (part time) We intentionally set ourselves the modest goal of putting the now ancient FMV and gameplay in parity. Being elaborate isn't a goal here - that's a fast way to turn a fan project into vapourware.

Oh I missed the fighter tumble, two things: 1) Defiance loves it, he insisted it go in for the demo, I was happy for it to wait for the full game - but I like it now it's there 2) I think it was done for game design reasons - you need the pilot to give his death comm, and for it to be absolutely...

Thanks, we have exactly the same desires for the capship explosions; but it's not our most burning priority. I will say that whilst defiance did an excellent job on the parts the explosion was thrown together in a single night by yours truly, actually all of the particle effects are still...

"(I want to play something set in that earlier era!)." I feel like if anyone can make that happen it's this articles author.

Let me rephrase that: most of the people I have observed complaining about the video are focused on the visual style. I know in that context is more akin to “I’m not overlooking the fact” than “I know something you don’t know”. In this case I’m not overlooking that the discussion has been...

I was more of a Sam & Max / Indiana Jones person so I don't have strong feelings about it, but I don't think that animation style works with that visual style. I know most people don't like the visual style but I think it totally could have worked with smoother animations.

Dang that's negative :( The way Howie told it it sounded like they made enough money to leave, I hadn't realised the hate had played a role, but I did see those videos. I can absolutely understand that reaction, being in the games industry I have a very different view of steam and I dare not...

What ugly things?

I… will now buy the non enhanced GoG version. This looks terrible

Sorry you can actually ignore this post now! After some internal testing we determined the variety in axis mappings between sticks was too great so we bit the bullet and added custom control mappings for all 4 supported input devices.

Not in the demo, but the full game will need it and every other feature. It'll probably be a refraction effect.

Well this is just the demo, so we will be distributing the original demo with it (please try it using dos box and compare to make sure we are on the right path). For the final release we will search your registry to find where you have WCIV installed, either from GoG or origin, and run using...

I'm trying to add good default keybindings for different flight sticks/ HOTAS setups to the Wing IV Remake Demo. Would people mind posting the string that appears in USB Game Controllers (*exactly* as it appears) here, including the name of seperate rudder/ throttle if you have them. Finally if...

With the help of @EmuMusicFan I believe we now have some minimum specs. He helped test with low GPU memory and movie playback optimizations to get 60fps 1080p h265 running at speed with only 2 cores. Minimum specs: (No shadows, no post process) 2 Core CPU 2GB GPU (Probably 860M/750Ti) 8GB...

AMD issues are resolved, all looking good :)

I picked it up recently, I was enjoying it for about an hour but got to a point where it really wasn’t clear what to do and no way to back out of that mission.

Glad to hear it :) Still on track for the Birthday I'd say. We have an AMD only graphics bug, and having no AMD to test with that could prove an issue. I've asked an old colleague who uses them and is familiar with Vulkan but he has a newborn and no guarantee. Worst case scenario I'll shell out...

Beyond the obvious implications to official games I get nervous about what it could mean for fan mods. EA has been fairer than most towards fan development.

Nice choice of stick! Only one in two decades I've not hated.

Internally we finally have something playable from beginning to end but it's not ready for public release yet. I'd say the demo is about 90% complete, just some AI and effects work to go. We are aiming for the CIC bday party in August for release but that depends on everyone's real life commitments.
