    WC1/2 clone (NOT remake) proposal

    I haven't heard of PySoy before and I'm wondering if you really need a proper 3D engine? Isn't the Wing Commander 1/2 engine just 2D bitmaps scaled to simulate distance? That should be more than possible with OpenGL... which is surprisingly easy to use in an SDL context. I feared diving into...

    WC1/2 clone (NOT remake) proposal

    This sounds like an interesting project, but I'm afraid you're going to run into limitations with pure SDL when you start work on the flight engine. SDL uses software rendering, which is very slow, and you'll have to update the screen many times a second in the flight engine. Also, SDL in itself...

    Ascii Sector v0.7.1.2 released!

    Yeah, kind of an embarrassing bug. I could have avoided it by checking that the variable divided by was larger than zero, but it was supposed to never be zero and if I'd done that check, it wouldn't have crashed and I wouldn't have noticed the much larger bug that was the cause of it. A blessing...

    Did you like the Wing Commander movie?

    I think that until the Matrix, this effect was achieved by using still cameras, so when moving around the object, the object itself would not move but be "frozen" in place. With the Matrix, they used an array of high speed cameras instead of still cameras so they could revolve around the object...

    Another Internet Cynical Essay About FMV Games

    Speaking of Chris Crawford, this video (in multiple parts on YouTube) gives a good insight into his ideas and beliefs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N53BH4HTns He seems to feel that games are too much about navigating a (simulated) space. His Storytron project is an attempt to make the...

    Kotaku Bets on Wing Commander (June 13, 2010)

    I'm betting a dollar on this one: "EA unveils Privateer: Steltek's Lament, an all-new adventure in the Wing Commander universe 30,000:1)" It may be unlikely, but if it happens, I get both a new Privateer game and $30.000! :D
