You may already be dead! biggrin.gif

Make sure you back up at least 6" from the monitor. Put all sharp or blunt objects at a safe distance. Move the soda can away from the keyboard. Close the door.

They're still prelim (still got some cleaning up to do etc). First we had stellar and unmatched gameplay and replay value. Now we've got kick-ass graphics to go with even more advanced gameplay.

We're on the home stretch, and the countdown to the official Beta release, begins....

They're still prelim. I case you didn't notice, I still haven't decided which font to use yet, so I'm too lazy to change it. It works and it ain't broke. biggrin.gif

And after trashing no less than 5 different interface graphics and took two artist off the interface detail, I'm going to be doing the interface graphics myself (some of you may know that before I even started programming, I was a full fledged artist/modeler, all the way back when I was doing this all myself) during the last legs. It'll be killer.

And yes, those nebula bitmaps are the awesome work of Mark (the newbie on the block biggrin.gif). Still haven't settled on a common theme yet. eg, he has stars in them, but the engine is also rendering dynamic stars (like in BC3K), so, I may have him remove the stars from all 25 nebula themes.

I'm putting in the new marines today (as well as putting in the tags for the specialFX contrails and engine bursts) and will be doing some more surface romping. Expect some shots soon.

This is being written in memory of one aramike01. He died of pure joy and shock at the sight of those screen shots. Please pass your regards (and credit card numbers) to his listed email address.

Thank you.

SC you forgot to mention up above that we also needed to swallow anything currently being chewed on before viewing the shots.....I almost choked on my lunch while viewing. biggrin.gif

Seriously though, good Job to all involved, and keep up the good work.

LOL!, you guys are something else. Those shots are PRELIMINARY. Wait until the vertex lighting, lightmaps, mipmapping, trails and multi-light source etc, are all enabled. We'll be passing around body bags. biggrin.gif

btw, Andergum, I had to trim the lines on your post because you forgot to hit the return key on each line. I guess you must have passed out already. wink.gif

Im startin to think that you should allow a 'Sight seeing' caste SC. I got a feelin we gonna be spending more time appreciating the sceanery that chasin down Insurgent scumbags.

Sigh .... only ever gonna say this once ....

Wing Commander blows.

You know, there should be a law against doing that (showing us these screenshots), SC! But then again, if you'd be in jail, we'd never see BCM finished! smile.gif"><P>You

Hey SC, Blades and all. Blades, you do have a point about having a "sight seeing" caste. for 1, Your going to need him beacuse you WON'T catch up with me or any other Insurgent for that matter. And for 2, I won't be running YOU will be when youfind that THIS Insurgent won't run unless I don't have any chance at all. Don't worry Blades< I can back it up. I'm shure you can shoot at somting smile.gif.

SC, just a question but you said that Earth and the Moon would be in the same space region but I didn't see it in any of those screenshot's. Is there a limit to seeing different bodies in the same area? Anyway GREAT shot's and I'm not goint to bore ya with prase but I DO LOVE those shot's just like everyone else smile.gif and still eggerly waiting to kill every Galcommie biggrin.gif!!!

Ahhh, Cmdr. Blair enters the fray...good work, Commander! biggrin.gif"><P>Irevive Gum!

Anyway, again SC, I have to say that if this game is even half of what it's supposed to be, the world's gonna stop for awhile.

Just my wife's luck that it'll be much more than anyone here can imagine! Great work, boss! smile.gif

I decided not to mess with perfection and re-arranged the galaxy makeup biggrin.gif

Also, if I put more that one planet in a region that is heavily populated, it could be a processing nightmare for folks on regular multiplayer 56K modems connections. So, its best to leave them as they are. In fact, I'm going to be revising the galaxy for multi-player only, so that there is only 1 planet in a region. I think regions like Jupiter, etc, have more than one. Think of these as multi-player maps. Though it'll be the same universe, in MP, it will remain as it is now (BC3K v2.0x) but in BCM mp, they will be further segmented. So, there won't be more than 1 or 2 planetary bodies, per region.
