WC4 Remake Adds Stormfire & Spaceflight Physics (April 12, 2022)

[ChrisReid]

Today's we've got a meaty new article with some exciting content updates for the WC4 Fan Remake. The team is currently working on recreating the WC4 demo, which is notable for including a Stormfire cannon pickup floating in space. Unlike in the full game, this gives the Hellcat a unique special weapon for the mission. They've also spent considerable time working out how the spaceflight physics will work. It will incorporate some interesting inertial cues from WC1, WC2 and Prophecy. You can read all about it at WCRespace.com here.

As we work towards the demo release there are three main areas to focus on:

• Applying all the now-known stats values to the game objects
• Running the mission scripts for all of the objects
• Improving the AI

The first of these is largely done and has driven a lot of new work; one piece of which is implementing the stormfire gun.
