Is this the same glider that won the 2002 contest by Conitec? Where have you guys been for 2 years? It's like you appeared back on the forums with your game out of thin air. I assumed the project got caned or moved to a diferent engine which is fairly common but I guess I was mistaken. Anyway looks great I love all the particle effects.

Two minor concerns I thought needed mentioning:

1. The game looks like a space shooter type but the zeplin floating over the first level in the video looks out of place in the futuristic atmosphere

2. The temple level looks kind of futuristic egyption style (Star Gate) but the cactus are generaly associated with the old west (cowboys and shoot outs at the corall)not somthing that would be growing outside a futuristic pyramid.

Those things aside looks like its gona be a top notch product and good luck to you and your team.

people:
We know about the people problem. But we use them currently only as place holders. We'll update the models within the next week's.

hitting the surface:
The higher the speed the higher the damage of the glider when hiting a surface. Also you'll 'bounce' away from the surface. Due to the splash damage of ervery weapon you can do nice 'rocket-jumps' thorugh the level -> ut/q3 and so on.

release:
After we've got a publisihng deal(hope to get sometihng on the gc) we'll plan to release glider in march - april next year.

Awsome,
I hope that its available in Australia.
Cheers.

Awesome!! What can I say but "wow"! Along with everything else I really like your sky and sun effect. Very cool. What method did you use for capturing game footage by the way?

Beautiful work! Puts the lie to the oft proclaimed "3DGS can't make professional games!" myth.

Makeing the movie:
We'll play the game in low res.(320x240) set the maximum framerate to 25fps and locked the frame count to 25fps, too.
Then we start the 'movie' funtion which capture's every frame a screenshot. All movie screenshots together are ~5.6gb big. After that we'll import every screenshot 'session' to one bi avi file and cut them together.

BTW. you've not seen all 'special' scenes of the movie. We'll show a special trailer on the gc. After that we'll upload the new one

Me too!!!

This has got to be some of the best gameplay I've seen in a long time. You obviously put a lot of work into the player having a strong control over the ship!
