Colony Ship - Demo Update #4

[Silver]

A new demo update for Colony Ship Game which announces a delay and shows some new screenshots.

CSG update #37 - Demo update #4

We're still working on animations and armor, I doubt we'd be able to to wrap it all up before Aug. Ivan's doing a bit better but he has a long way to go before he fully recovers. He'll focus on animations from now on and all armor and clothing tasks will be handled by Maria, our new armor specialist (you can see some of her work in the previous update). We've been working with her for a while and I hope she'll stick around as our next project will be even more "armor-intensive".

In the meantime our programmers have improved the building interior system and map navigation, and added character outlines in combat (you can turn them off if you don't like them) and when your character is blocked by an object or wall. All weapon meshes are in now so each weapon has a unique model. Oscar is working on the Pit, which looks better and better (not to mention bigger) so the delay on one front doesn't affect the rest of the team's progress.

The screens below are work-in-progress:

^ navigation meshes; what you see is about a third of the Pit, so it's not a small place.

Thanks Couchpotato!

It's been very interesting to follow these and watch how a video RPG comes together. Thanks! The style is looking quite cyberpunk, and I suppose that's what it is really -- a mix of high technology with disruption of the social order.

I don't think people realize how many great games are coming out for the pc. It seems that every time i come on here, there is an exciting new game in the works. Its a great time to be a gamer (pc).

Indeed. I remember just a short dozen years ago picking up a console because unless I lived in my replay world, most newer games seemed to not be available for the computer. Now I've no need for any inferior devices, my lovely computer takes care of all my gaming requirements.

Thanks Silver.

Your welcome!

I hope this game is easier to 'pick up' then the previous game. These days I feel like i'm always doing 100 different things at the same time and frequently just can't give anything my full attention. Games should relax not take over my focus.
