To put it into perspective here is a shot from the original game, same size. For the parked Hellcat's the size is currently 80%, I think I can bump that upto 90% if the placement is improved. We have to maintain the sizes from the original game because we are using the original mission scripts...

Initially true (the book does a much better job of building up Eisen's defection), but I guess they wanted half of the players to stick with confed for a bit. Still if you had any doubts if you selected the confed track that defection was the right option that's all on you :)

Argh the timing. I’ve recently been reading the books in timeline order, so action stations, wcmovie trilogy but I’ve only just started pilgrim truth, freedom flight was next up. Hopefully I’ll catch up

Has anyone found a good upscaler for the 3DO? They have them for every system but

I actually think Freespace did some things really well. It's hard to come back to - single location (muuuuuuch simpler to code as I'm learning) and some goopy controls, but it introduced the enemy threat in a more interesting way than WCP and FS2 had nice visuals. Not really interested in the...

We're able to extract the files, but they haven't been decoded yet. I've been holding out hope that the resident genius UnnamedCharacter will get to them as he did hit the WC3/4 era. Once we have them ODVS can start upscaling.

2D images are in a good position, thanks to UnnamedCharacter of the wctoolbox we can display the originals directly from the game data, and ODVS has upscaled them - but the upscaled versions exist in the same repo atm, just to be absolutely safe we will probably keep those separate in the...

To clarify it's not public on github, we still haven't reverse engineered all of the formats so extracted files exist (something which got a SimCity project shut down), we are still using the iff file loader from here (https://download.wcnews.com/files/documents/sourcecode/shadowforce/) - we'd...

Gotta be Pliers. I almost went for Maya but gotta love that old coot.

We do indeed need help, and AI is one of the areas where we could most definitely use it. I'll drop you a PM

Nice! I much preffer this to the final UK cover.

It's beautiful, just wish it was 4k

Thanks as always to Chris for the update. I'm glad the progress sounds steady, it sure hasn't felt it. To make this update I just looked at the commit history to remind myself what I'd done, it was bursts of a few days of work at a time followed by months of nothing. The most I got done was in...

Thanks, sadly it's been really slow moving this past year as my day job involved getting a game on a huge variety of hardware (still one more launch to go). Should get back to a good pace shortly though.

Personally I'd happy watch the cutscenes like this. The indie scene has done pixel art to death to the point where I *hate* it, but tolerate it in WC's case for the gameplay.

Mostly it just looks very static and too clean to match the FMV (which even without the film grain has other kinds of noise baked in). The models aren't super detailed and wouldn't look as passable in truly clean 4K, just look at one of the original models...

For the game it'll be an option - that said I sometimes wish such things weren't. Imagine playing silent hill without film grain? Some games do just throw the kitchen sink of effects out, but most there was an artistic decision behind it. Our aim is to have the FMV and gameplay merge into one...

Always great to see any updates, already it's definitely the best way to play WC1. I can't wait for WC2 to get to the same level.

I mean an army of spaceman lead clones is basically the plot to oblivion. Unless my memory cheats they never really showed the army of Tom Cruises, just described it. It’s likely either budget or good taste would have kept it from getting too cheesy. Still feels out of place in the wc universe...
