Their will be more on the way, we are planning to release preVa by the end of the year. "If all goes well."

Great this kinda reminds me of Custom Robo Arena
hope you can finish it

we will be finishing it, whether we make our deadline or not, we just really want to finish it by the end of the year, and the explosions use a destruction shader by 5c0rp10n (thank you)

Looks nice indeed, can't wait until the release

Cheers

When I first saw this project I tought it'll never make it even half the way , but this thing keeps getting better nice work!

PS.: I think the explosion sphere needs a little tweaking,maby higher res texture.

heh, thanks...i think...

but none of you guys have actually played the game yet, the movement system is very much improved from the beta demo, and the ai is greatly improved, they now "seek you out" rather than just sit there as a target like in the demo, they will also conserve booster energy when boosting above you to seek you out, and if your hiding, they'll find you, as well as flank you sometimes...

you guys really have to play it to get the full experience, but thank you all for comments, we'll soon have something for the beta testers, maybe

and if you want to be a beta tester, be our guest, you just have to have at least some experience with 3DGS, and at least a minimal amount of c-script knowledge.

Neat game! , though I have some comments that might help:

From the screen shots, what I think is that the textures could be more detailed... using some small photoshop/GIMP tricks might do the thing.

Also, instead of making the explosions translucent, try solid explosion shapes with their normals flipped. That would look cool. Smoke is good too.

Some normalmapping/bumpmapping shaders would do wonders, though thats alright if your computer cant handle it with a high enough FPS.

The ground definitely needs detailing

I very much like the HUD though, it is awesome.

I hope my comments dont strike you as too negative, I REALLY like what I see in the screen shots. Giant robots are awesome.

well, we would've used normal mapping, but it's not the style we're going for, and not only that we're aiming for a bigger audience with lower pc's than most of us have, for instance i could run all these great shaders at home, but not all casual gamers will be able to, so we want it to look good, but run at at least 30 fps on a system that's a few years old, considering that alot of casual gamers won't have great new video cards or processors, but at the same time, it still looks good for those gamers.

The explosions are actually models with 2 sets of normals, one flipped inward and on flipped to the outside.

Thanks for the input Metal_Man

Nice screens!

They even show, that there is quite some game development skill in it and not only nice landscapes, that's pretty cool!
