Thanks Troy.
Anyway, we got a new video up showing off adding some enemies to the scene through the editor and then fighting them :) I have to give most of the credit to Rusty here. He killed it with that sentry model.

Oh man that's getting really good, the health bars are a nice addition rather than the text in the middle, good job team!

Got a little video here showing off what the level editor is like in the game. I haven't really shown this to anyone but Rusty who uses it all the time. Was curious, what do you guys think of it?

The getting out of the ship mechanic seems very similar to how it was handled in Prey.

While looking cool a small criticism that lock on noise gets very annoying.

The voice acting sounds pretty good, but the music is completely underselling it. Other than that, it looks to be developing well.

Ah you think? Other people have told me they love the music, so I wasn't sure what to go with. I am working on getting some different tracks though that will hopefully fit the atmosphere a bit better.

Ugh, I am tired of putting FPS in my games, hah. This is the last time.

Hey Hamish,

We actually just brought on board a new composer, here's the first track he's produced for us, what do you think?

Well, I can not make a fully educated judgement until I can hear it in the game, but I think that track would do better.

The strange thing is it reminds me of the original Age of Empires music somehow. :confused:

What exactly do shaders do?

They circumvent the standard way polygons are drawn and give you full control over it. You can use it for per-pixel lighting and for normal maps and the like. And if you don't know what you're doing or want to be creative you get something like my picture.
