Re: State of the Galaxy
I'm absolutley ashamed that I don't have this comeplete yet, it's been almost 5 years. Honestly, I apologize, life gets crazy.

I was the Lead Technical Artist on Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition last year, and once again, got laid off after doing a disgusting amount of overtime. That's my final lesson in that school, the juice was definitely not worth the squeeze, although I am immensely proud of that project.

My daughter is now 14 months old, so those paycheques(Canadian spelling) need to keep coming. I'm currently under a short contract with EA working on NHL. It's a really fun job actually; they are letting me be creative, I have no lead responsibilities like I mostly have for the past decade of my career, and I'm getting really positive feedback. That'll be over soon, and then I'm taking my family into a new chapter which I can talk more about later if anyone's interested.

Once we're settled I'll need to reacquaint myself in Max since I've been using Maya the past 2 years on TR and NHL, and the Nebulon is the perfect project to brush up on. I would love to have this complete asap.

Thanks for your patience.

Nebulon B2 would be awesome. I like it in TIE Fighter :)

I was hoping for a XMas release this year...I´m really sad. Maybe next year then.

We haven't really talked about a preview release but the mod is very playable in its current form and most of what we have left is finishing up the campaigns.  Maybe we can talk about the possibility of a limited release soon.

I would be very much in favor of a demo release. I haven't been able to get my Star Wars fighter combat fix in a long time, because the last OS I could get Rogue Squadron 3D to work on was XP, and even that was kind of a pain in the butt. And of course they never ported the other Rogue Squadron games to PC. IIRC, RS2 was Gamecube only. *grumble* And the more recent Star Wars games have pretty much been RPGs. I want to fly fighters, dagnabbit!

Even a video would be great. It'd be nice to know what gameplay will look like. I'm hoping for something that fits somewhere in between Freespace and the X-wing games.. with a dash of how fighter combat looks in the movies..

Alternatively one day it'll be a lovely surprise like Diaspora.. :)

I think what you'll find is how fighter combat looks in the movies...with a dash of something between Freespace and the X-Wing games.  :D

We haven't posted a video in a really long time - I'll see if we can whip something up.  I'd really like to have an actual full-fledged trailer, but unfortunately FSO doesn't have a flight recorder I can use to go back and get shots from other angles, so my attempts so far have been limited.

We may also have some other news for you shortly...stay tuned.

We need to use the SEXP or Lua support for camera positioning and record scripted scenes for making a trailer.  I want to find time soon to direct some missions to create some teaser shots, if no one else beats me to it.

This is one of the most unique and exciting things about FotG, IMHO. No other Star Wars flight combat game (official or fan-made) has aspired to be this authentic. :yes:

Even some gameplay footage would be absolutely epic. :cool:

As much as i loved to have a Demo, i'd be against it - in this case and would prefer a short gameplay video.

Hey, I get excited at just screenshots, everything looks so lovely ingame.

 
I think a demo release would be awesome.  As I mentioned in another post, I think this mod is shaping up to be the best Star Wars sim since X-Wing Alliance :D
