Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn
The briefing music for the last few missions is from the Gundam Unicorn OVAs. There's also a track that I think is from Starship Operators.
Long time ago, you see, there was this thing called the VBB and... oh, nevermind.

Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn
I downloaded this campaign a while ago and have to admit i put it away again after trying to first mission....  what a mistake! LOL

The 1st missions slow and ugly fighter(s) together with mix matched FS models (Explorer) and especially the quite dull mission vs. the poor Star fighters just put me off i guess.

But oh my... what came after.... from the atmospheric flight mission to huge battles and all with a well realized storyline.... wow.


Thanks for a really unique campaign Spoon!

I guess my one suggestion would be to retwork the first mission.

It could use some new models for Explorer and the node station.

Yeah I gotta admit the first mission made me go 'oh no...'

But then it got so much better.

Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn
It didn't help that the first mission was Spoon's first serious attempt at FREDing either.  :nervous:

Think of it as candy. You have to get through the envelope first.

Thanks! Glad you hear you enjoyed it!  :D

That's not what you told me on IRC when I asked  :p

Difference being that I started at the very start of a campaign while you started with the climax of a campaign  :p
Not to mention that I had to redo DE like 20 times, much to my frustration, because it was nearly impossible to save the allied capships from the enemy beams. Even with invicibility cheats on!
Urutorahappī!!

[02:42] <@Axem> spoon somethings wrong
[02:42] <@Axem> critically wrong
[02:42] <@Axem> im happy with these missions now
[02:44] <@Axem> well
[02:44] <@Axem> with 2 of them

That's because of a feature that got implemented fairly late in development to prevent the mission from being self-playing and that didn't get enough iterative testing, not because of a design flaw drawn from inexperience. In fact it mostly provides evidence that I got worse as I went along.  :nervous:

Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn

First mission= scary?

Crap, I was totally irritated who was the protagonist?! These girl-pilot named Dawn?! No, this space-elf?! Seems not... but then I saw the face of Misuzu and her crazy style. Total crazy/irritating characters seemed to be intended as the protagonists....I mean, look at Ruffy from One Piece or Son Goku from Dragonball!

But yes, the speed was a bit of nothing but I played further and I was really scared when I found out that it plays hundred years after this incident and...whoaah, all these speedy-ships and crazy fast rockets and all those enemies.

Spoiler:
GAHAHAHA! ADVANCE! hits the point
"Ka-BOOOOOOOOM!!!!"
"Uh, Sir we can hear the explosion."
"No you can't, there is no air in space. Sound can't travel through a vacuum!"

Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn
I've hit upon a strange error...

While playing the sequence of missions to save the Cordi queen I decided to restart the whole thing because I had about 1% hull left.
When I got to mainhall to continue the campaign the game just froze on me. I restarted the game but this time I couldn't even get to mainhall.
After that I tried the 3.6.12 release build (I was using antipodes previously) and the same thing happened.
After some experimenting it turned out to be something wrong with the pilot I was using... I made a new one and everything was again, albeit having to restart.

I good thing is though that WoD is still very fun on the second playthrough.

 :yes:Awesome job! :yes:

Sorry to hear that, sounds like yet an other issue caused by Red Alert.

Good to hear you are still having fun regardless though  :)

Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn
Urp, has the Red-Alert issue been mantised' yet?
I mean, saying "don't use red alerts!" is kinda bad advice when retail uses it and its broken...

Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn
WiH might have better production values, but it doesn't have the bat**** insanity contained within Wings.

THe last missions, which were a little Battle of Endor-y was an sight to be hold with raw firepower the Dragon Slave(slayer?)s, cluster missiles, and pure energy filling the space.

Funny thing is after playing Wings and then playing WiH, it almost feels sedate in comparison. Now only if we could get some VA work done for Wings....

Then you should try to replay the vanilla campaign... ah the curse of high manouverbility fighters like the Ray III-E and Kentauri.... once you get used to them you feel like playing in slow motion if you fly a Herc, Erinyes or even Aurora  :P

I'm actually still more used to playing with slow ships even after 3 WoD playthroughs... Maybe I'm just slow. XD

Re: RELEASE - Wings of Dawn
Or maybe you took the W variant. If you don't fly high manouverbility fighters it's no wonder you don't get used to them.
Me.... I'm for the E all the way and fly it whenever I get the chance in WoD.
