22.09.2025 15:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0*seeeeems* ok. Dan has optimised pretty much the entire game but a lot of additional features and gameplay layers have been added. Performance-wise I reckon we are still ahead of vanilla Armalyte. Play-wise itβs light years beyond. Big push on content now.

(Ultra will hopefully be finished next year)
Also, have you enquired at local printing places?

Two white lights off to each side, careful with shadows/illumination from windows. Iβm having a studio converted so will have a dedicated station for just this.
18.09.2025 10:49 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0BW art: A4 in 2 halves. Carefully keep edges straight. Small overlap helps joining in Photoshop or equivalent.
Painting: photo with good camera with decent sensor. Macro or zoom lens helps with distortion. Mount art vertically, camera on tripod. Carefully light. Long exp. if necessary. Narrow app.
Strong design. Like it!

Be interesting to see what you think of Armalyte:Ultra whenever it gets finished. Rebuilt practically from the ground up & leans away from punishing 80s coin-op gameplay.
Oh, THATβS cool. Loved the first but only the first.

Difficult game to pull together as our parent company went into liquidation halfway through. Also featured other weapon kits (influenced by battlefield1942), vehicles, 2P deathmatch, & an Op Wolf style subgame. It was a bit unfinessed overall, but fun.
Had nothing to do with me or Jason (the RnT devs).
I tried Rad Rogers a while back and it played nothing like RnT so they pretty much just ripped off the main character
Commodore is all of us. And no one.

The Adama Maneuverer gets all the celebration but Galactica getting beat down and the Pegasus arriving to save the day and eventually destroyed is, for me, the high point of the episode.
Now thatβs a germ of an idea for a threadβ¦ hmmm
Hung out with him back in 93/94 when I was working out Renegade/Bitmapβs Wapping office- He got in contact via FB a while back. Had a stroke years agoβ¦ heartbreaking state of affairs.
He may appreciate some retro attention.

Finally βfinishedβ though I am not happy with the lighting, forms or the reflections. Leaving as-is as a reminder to do better reference and preparation.
Nice to do something that isnβt a portrait or a landscape though. Good to get back into it after a 6 month pause.
Itβs been a while so take this with a pinch of salt but very slight movements are key, but also master opposite directions to get you out of a down facing jam, you could start with forwards and back to get the hang of pitching and reversing direction.
Most importantly, try not to panic!
A beautiful zen game thatβs terribly unforgiving to noobs but incredibly rewarding to master. Looped multiple times and the gravity really does get quite strong
10.07.2025 15:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Played on release and found it impossible to pick up and play with mouse, and keys are far far too slow for combat.
Went back to it in β91 and mouse control just clicked, perfect aerial sniping, dogfights, refueling and could even do the thing it does on demo mode with the corkscrewing dive bomb.
Tried this once. Didnβt mind but it had slipped off by morning.
Now kept well hydrated and given a treat every time she goes outside for her duty. We donβt have her on the bed any more.
After a few months, no more accidents but now I swear sheβs gaming the system.
Not overweight. Just turned 16
Absolutely tone deaf. Read the fecking room!
That is actually kinda shocking.
Kickstart 2 was one of a handful of games we regularly played at Cyberdyne during Armalyte and Deadlock.
Course designer got some heavy use too :)
Far better than I expected it to be, and just bounced from The Franchise which I also enjoyed. This was better though.
