a small update: with test after test we finally have the r2t dll working, so we now have bloom implemented, as well as a kind of bright blur (using the bloom) when explosions go off. Also we are starting on cutscenes this week, most likely tomorrow. The bloom really adds a good touch to the game, and screenshots and a video are to be expected soon.

the muzzle fire effect looks.... deplaced, isn't it supposed to move upwards together with the gun movement?? but apart from that, it's an overall amazing work, i'm looking forward to playing it, finally oneday (i missed the demo unfortunately, and it seems like the file isn't online anymore)

it isn't, and the demo really wasn't good, i still have it for nostalgia some years down the road, but it's acually really lame, the game has changed alot from the demo, maybe we'll release the original demo with the new one when the game is done, to show the differences

actually, if you want, sometime i could post a video of the demo, soon i will do an ai video for preva, perhaps i can do a demo video at the same time...

for the rocket launcher's muzzle, it doesn't follow the gun because of the animation of the muzzle, and the mech's animation, if they were attached it would look rather weird, but all the smgs and assault rifles, and the shotgun have their muzzles attached. btw, are you guys interested in all the weapons?

I think the muzzel firing effect should be as shown due to the speed at which discharge occures.
If you have ever been on the receiving end of gunfire an amazing effect can be discerned, the muzzle flash appears as a bright star complete with rings as shown in some star effects, quite pretty

^^ thanks nems very kind words from you, it looks better when you see it animated, it's very anime

MMMMmmmmmmm......Bloom Shader.

As I mentioned a long time ago - when you guys had just started with Preva, I am not a great robot and sci-fi fan but this game has definitely got my interest! It keeps looking better and I for one, can't wait till you get it finished^^

Great screens like always !!
You definitly made a good decision to input the bloom effect
That second picture just rocks
