So the question of what it is I am doing arises periodically. I ask it myself. So here is the update:
I will have a series of screenshots of a completed mission very soon. I scrapped a lot of the work I had done and put some of it back to later campaigns because it didn't fit, felt too early or I didn't feel the story was fleshed out enough. As such, the story is now in its final form and won't be altering other than minor alterations.
Loads of new weapons with weapon effects are in the game. This slowed me down A LOT. There is also much more coherant styling for ships of various factions. I may be doing a bit of reskinning but not until Act 1 is out. I don't plan to change much in the tbls from now on, which is thankful because it was driving me slowly mad.
Finally, I have also substantially changed the mission structure. The story of "Shetland" will be split into 4 acts of ~8-10 missions each. I have plans beyond this, but I would like to complete Act 1 first and show what my story is going to be about. I had originally planned on a campaign of 25 missions split into two, but decided that this was telling the story too quickly and
At present, Mission 3 is almost complete. Mission 1 is going to be the hardest to write and FRED so I will be doing that last. I am finally happy with everything and am making good progress on that.
Previous missions I have mentioned are being put in a cupboard for now for later acts. If you are wondering whether this mod is just treading water, it isn't. I've done tons of work on it and it's getting much quicker to build missions now. Very pleased with the way things are going
