Here's this friday's news update.

...and that everyone is putting all the extra waiting to good use, as opposed to everyone on the team sitting on their ass while <insert team member here> finishes <insert feature here>.

Yeah, the global animation thing is something the game does to every animated texture (to save resources by loading each texture only once). The fact that every subsequent instance of any given animated mat ends up sync'ed to the first instance that was loaded in that particular session is just...

Our goal was to have missile turrets (which go unused in Standoff) act as flak turrets, by making them shoot invisible high damage dumb fire missiles that, at their maximum range, would split into a few very short range invisible missiles with lower damage than their parent (think Standoff's...

Very nice work as always, Péricles.... the smaller models like these are even more amazing. Congrats!

I think you mean pre-Vision, Wedge? Those XWA shots? :p We are actually going to replace the entire website as of Ep 5's release with something looks like a "final product" website instead of "work in progress" website. We won't give away half of the plot or make you click through 14 pages of...

For what it's worth, we will take all the current screenshots down and upload a bunch of new ones when Ep 5 is released. It will be a much smaller bunch than what we have now, but they will all be representative of the final version of the game (which is not the case for any of our current...

It's friday again already!

The Crossbow doesn't have afterburners. Due to this, in other Standoff missions it doesn't even have a fuel gauge on the HUD at all. In the prologue, the player can jump on a Gladius - I'm not sure if we subtracted any AB fuel for that jump, though.

Here's this friday's update:

My point was precisely that saying "I will finish this game! Join me!" is not enough to make you seem worth joining. If you expect your project to enlist people who have anything worthwhile to offer you, you have to give them more, because these people know a project like this requires more...

It's actually feasible and, although it might not turn out as great as Gemini Gold, it would turn out better than the bazillion projects who are announced with nothing to show for themselves and disappear after one week. :p This is the reason everyone always brings up Standoff or UE into these...

Here's this friday's website update:

If that happens, it's a bug. Dund, get on it. :p

Actually, there's no requirement for fly through decks in the Vision engine at all. The reason I gave Standoff's CVEs a fly through deck was partly because I wanted the design to seem like a "bridge" between the WC2 and WC3 design philosophies, and mostly because I missed that particular quote...

We could use a tester who had a lot of free time and already knew how everything works. Picking up anyone new at this point would just slow the rest of us down.

They are off their butts, only they are producing, directing, and engine programming. :p We have become a bit short on staff over the last few episodes, with effectively one tester and no dedicated mission programmers as of Ep 5... Starkey no longer has enough time for testing, Pete and Alex...

If you're embarrassed by hearing your own voice, just be glad that there isn't a a bald, wrinkled, mustache-sporting version of yourself in any comm videos. As for the "mission people, get off your butts" part - well, in their defense, we have no mission people since Ep 2.... we have one...

Here's this friday's progress update! Not much to report, and no new screenshots... just spoiling you guys with weekly updates as promised.

Saying that you will see an event from Fleet Action in Standoff is not really a spoiler. :p
