    This project is so cool. I considered myself the biggest Wing Commander fan on the planet when I was younger. Played all the games 100 times over, collected all the rare merchandise, read all the novels, and am a Star Citizen backer because of Chris Roberts.

    Love what you are doing! What a blast from the past, but with new life!

    Glad you guys like it! I'm pretty close to pushing out a new update to the demo - A major update, in fact.

    And I['m starting to think about the Dralthi cockpit. That'll be the first playable version - where you can pick a side to have combat with.
    Here's a glimpse of the Dralthi IV cockpit I did a while ago.

    Enjoy!

    How are you achieving the pixelated look? Just render in low res and upscale?

    Maybe that or he uses a program/plugin like Pixatool.

    I wrote out a tutorial of how I did the pixely stuff here: https://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=34820.msg210923#msg210923

    NUTSY! Oh, man - I haven't seen you about in forever. I hope you're well! And yeah, RGO goes out to the press, reviewers, and some streamers *tomorrow*. It's madness time!
    I'm super proud of what our little team has done over the last 3 years. And yeah - its a bit wild seeing someone else doing a Chariot - My mind keeps thinking, HEY THATS MY MODEL...but it's not. A bit odd.

    So, I just figured out how to record Wingleader in 60fps!

    Enjoy!

    Those looks super nice! Particles or hand drawn?

    Indeed, that does look super nice.

    Aw thanks - I actually just snagged a bunch of images off APOD. Then I just index-rendered them.

    Weekend work on the Dralthi cockpit - Still WIP but the vast majority of the base is there!

    Tuesday Evening Dralthi update - I did lower the # of colors on the bright end of the pipe ramp, and went with an even subtler brown shade to the shadows, added a ton of detail. Definitely getting closer to something that looks good!

    Yes, new colors add a nice greasy look to it. New greebles also work great.

    I can't believe I haven't replied to this thread yet. It will come as no surprise to you to know that I absolutely love what you're doing, Howard. I'm looking forward to this more than some AAA games :)

    BTW - Congrats on Rebel Galaxy: Outlaw getting released! It looks fantastic!
  • Howard DayHoward Day632 Posts: 434Member
    Thanks, guys!
    Comco: Aww, thanks. I'm delighted its out in the wild - now to just manage all the bug reports!
    Dralthi update - new cockpit and damage states + some 60fps gameplay.

    Have you got plans for a mission editor or something for this, Howie? My god I'd love to play the original campaign in this engine. :sunglasses:

    That last video is great. I also love the damaged cockpit :)

    Random question, do you still have still renders of your Mars Transfer Vehicle? This guy:

    Fantastic. I can only dream about getting these FPS on my PS/1 back in the day. What a slide show that was...

    Making some progress on character talky-heads for this after a couple of years. :grin:

    These are just plain renders, saved directly out of Max with no post work done.
    Enjoy!

    My inner child is so stoked!

    :grin: Some more Wing Leader nonsense, working way too late. Flattened some perspective, got some better contrast on materials, added the iconic WC2 Terran pilot chair.

    There wasn't enough room for it behind the visor to have Hunter smokin his Stogie... :( But.. there's no reason the visor can't be raised! and it looks awesome, so, here you go. :P

    Bulked up the seats, fixed the padding stitching and wrinkles to blend/look better, added more helmet art, rank insignia on the respirators, and seatbelts!
