What was this project?

It was a project to catalogue interesting new kinds of spiders.

[BradMick]

it was a sprite game that me and howard were working on a long time ago. he did all the cg, i did all the concepts. ran into problems with the programmer who just up and disapeared one day and it died. Might add it ultimately had nothing to do with wing commander actually.

 

[starlord]

the super snakeir has quite impressive: do you have a full model of it?

 

[BradMick]

that model is long gone unfortunately.

 

[Howard Day]

Yeah, pretty much. We had some interest from a bunch of programmers, but when it came time to actually start building an engine, no one would return my e-mails. So ultimately, all we had was some sort-a-kinda pretty artwork, and nothing else. That's happeneed to me a lot, unfortunately. Gratefully, that's not the case with Pioneer.

Actually, I believe it refers to this Canadian research project.
