Wow! just been reading your last few posts and this just seems to sound better and better

really like the fact that there won't be loading screens and such. that can really take you out of the experience in a game like this.

Thanks guys! Great to know youre looking forward to it

We try create a seamless and immersive experience so you can really appreciate the art and feel the atmosphere, like a living animation. At least thats the lofty goal haha, hopefully it feels somewhat different.

Spaceship Dog fighting AI has come on a long way, they have really good controls, can fly along side, catch up take over and do various attack sweeps on the player. Will do another days work on it then get the graphics up to par and show a video I think. Its added a whole new layer to the gameplay, looking forward to see what people think.

That's awesome. I'm glad you guys managed to bust out the enemy AI.

Personally, I think the AI is the hardest part to code. (I'm stuck there in a game I'm making for fun).

But it sounds like you have it set up great. Can't wait for the vid.

Thanks dude!

Its pretty darn hard, but i find a lot of the same principles from physics and behaviour transfer across. I sketch to create techniques, think of it visually and translate it to logic, maybe Ill post some stuff up on a blog when the games done. Show some techniques.

Hope you like the video
