Okay the Strakha is in and running in Wingleader! Still gotta make the icons and hook up the logic for the AI to use the cloak. Not bad for a long lunch project. :D

Charming sentiment but rather amusingly this review did in fact drop us to 95%, so almost out of Overwhelmingly Positive. Unless you have a game which sells a LOT of copies, which unfortunately we don't, one review certainly can make a difference...

Alriiiiighty! I have the Wingleader Krant all hooked up and flying. I *very* likey. also, there's another...slight addition that really helps.

Alrighty, here's the new animated World Root logo in situ, followed by the Wing Leader logo! I'm pretty happy with it. Enjoy!

In Wingleader updates, I got the first pass on the Strakha cloaking cockpit interior effect working - taking some inspo from the One Ring. 😛 Also, I did make and implement the gradual LED fill on the gun/fuel lights. Custom SFX for the cloak, too- Enjoy!

Okay, I got it! Wing Leader Grikath's turret now fires and aims (within limits), and inherits the main ship's skill settings. I'm pretty happy with this! Also, here's some finished images of the Grikath and its turret. :D Enjoy!

More work on the Wingleader project - attempting to render larger capital size ships as 3d models - but still retain the same pixel art look. Still early days. Yes, that's a Dorkir. :P

Further Wing Leader Capship pixel-art 3d model tests in unity3d - got the edge highlight shader working pretty darn well, lighter overall outlines, and more of the ship unwrapped! Still WIP but coming along really well, I think!

Lots of Wing Leader updates! I've added a ton more detail and mapping to the Dorkir - I'd say the main model is done - I need to make turrets. I've also expanded the lighting on the sprites; they now do shadows/outline edge lighting! WIP, but it definitely looks nice. Enjoy!

Added some Fresnel falloff to the windows on the Wing Leader Dorkir, and some flashing nav lights. I really like them. I also added some specular highlights, since it just doesn't feel like WC1 without them. First pass on some turrets, too!

Another Wing Leader ship done, the Lumbari-class transport. It's a simple variant of the Dorkir - just more boxy. I've swapped the engine colors over to red for the Kilrathi capships, to better match some previous work of mine that I'll be bringing into WL! Enjoy!

2 more Wing Leader cockpits set up for lighting! The Salthi Light fighter and the Strakha Stealth fighter! I had to modify the shader slightly to support the cloaking effect for the stealth figh`ter, dang, this is really coming together! Next up the Krant! #screenshotsaturday

Okay, so I spent some time on Friday to make some sparks for the explosions - I also set up the debris to have flickering fire on it when it first explodes! I'm locking the scale of the facing cards, and scaling/offsetting the UVs to do hardcoded scaled pre-made sprites!

Working on the big content update for Rogue Invader... wondering what next to add in when these baddies showed up. Can we keep em?

Help me make a dream project: a documentary film (on Blu-ray) about the SCUMM engine and the incredibly-imaginative, brilliant LucasArts games that redefined the adventure genre.
