That stuff is from Angels Fall First, a really impressive looking fan-universe thats currently being made into a Total Converseion for Unreal Championship 2005 (for ground combat), Homeworld 2 and Nexus (for Space Combat), and is also having code written for its own game engine.

I'm familiar with their fine work on Nexus and HW2 [although progression is painfully slow on the latter], but I didn't realise they were working on anything for UC2005... *investigates further*

Cool. Really makes me wish I could still make time to do this sort of thing. :)

You'll be back some day mate. Gotta be hard finding the time with the ball and chain to look after. ;) :p

Well, it was either Championship or Tournament, I lose track with the Unreal games. Anyways, here's some of the art they got for it:

Yah, these look like what a nextgen Freespace could look like.

It reminds me a lot of Homeworld.

Erg, that doesn't sound right, but I can't get the grammar to work for me.

That being said, that doesn't mean it doesn't look very, very good.

Yeah, i get depressed seeing this kind of work because I know how much work it is and how impossible it is for this kind of work to get done in a free project. Someone needs to throw them (hey, and us for that matter) a cool couple million to work full time on it and make a really awesome game.

If someone threw me a couple of million, the last thing I'd be doing is working :D

I also get depressed, but because I know I'll never be that good!

Bugger depressed - all it is, is a new target.
