Thank you for your comments! We worked very hard on Privateer back then. Also, the equipment was not as good as today. Using an old ball mouse was painful after hours of use. (Just thinking, I hope it's OK for me to put this stuff on the web?)

Just like you, I spent years searching for the Kilrahi. During my time out last year I think I actually found them. Not quite what I was expecting.

"OLD SCHOOL" WARNING! I can't imagine these can be found anywhere else. If you look closely at the video in Privateer II the Darkening you might see the textures below. Here are a few small textures from one of the rooms on the Reliant. Just found them on a floppy disk in another old box...

Picture three unprotected disks in a wooden box, then add a broken (model/character paint) jar. Then imagine the damaged disks protected the selvaged one. I can't work out why one of the glass bottles broke and why the disks were in the box in the first place. It's like finding a tomb ;o)...

Talking of a small team on Starlancer. I found the credits on the web, it was a small team. Some of my teams have been 300 +. I was down as Art and FMV @ Warthog. SO much has happened since then my memory has been scrambled. A lot of this team has gone on to create some great things. Here...

I have us all thinking of the past.

My search for the old is bringing up all the lost memories of a time gone by. I found the image below, it's all the old games I worked on. The Contract, Harry Potter, National Geo and a few others are missing. Think I made a small dent in the game industry. Anyone played any ?

OK, time for some more interesting stuff. I found 4 images on a old cd that was covered in paint. The paint just pealed off to reveal a clean smooth surface and the CD worked. The CD was in a box thats traveled on a ship from the UK to San Fransisco, a truck to Vancouver, another ship to...

Art from Michael Cottam.

Yep, I did the Reliant and Paul did the Yamato (I think his was better). Paul was on the game longer because he started first, he went on to animate and render both ships. When I finished the Reliant, I moved on to in-game models. I can't remember anyone else working on the Yamoto and Reliant...

Last night it came to me, Paul had a fish tank in one of his rooms. There was a fish!

So, this is what it took to run Privateer II the Darkening: Intel Pentium 75 MHz or 100% compatible (or greater), 8 MB of RAM or greater, 40 MB free Hard Drive space (or greater), 2x speed CD-ROM drive (or greater), MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, 100% Microsoft-compatible Mouse. DIGITAL: Sound Blaster...

Probably right you are, maybe it felt like a 286 ;o).

What a way to go out with a bang.

Cheers!

You can do what you want. Give credit to Paul Jones, Chris and Erin Roberts where necessary . I was working for Erin at the time. All this stuff has been out and about for a long time.

Just sent my resume to Cloud Imperium, this site has got me all exited about spaceships again.

Thank you! Most of the ships I've been on were not that friendly. ;o)

Thank you!

Two ships with two different looks; that was the plan. I had a simple layout drawing in Photoshop. Later I did the pencil drawings to show what was in my mind. The rest I made up as I went along. We had a few simple rules and just put the headphones on and flew; had to work as fast as...
