It's Been Awhile!

Hello everyone! Lordy has it been awhile. I doubt most of you will remember me, so much has happened since I was last active it's hard to even summarize it.

Re: PLEASE VOTE! NEW BATTLETECH CHESS GAME

A small update: We lost an Animator due to a conflicting schedule. I've started a new contracting job that's been sapping away a lot of time. BUT, all is not lost. We have 9 models completed, 2 animated with simple animations. And a working Alpha. I'll upload some Screenshots/video when I can get mo...

Re: PLEASE VOTE! NEW BATTLETECH CHESS GAME

Due to terms of usage, property rights, and potential liability. We can not/will not use any model from any preexisting game. Not to mention, we already have most of the mechs completed. GNUChess does have Multiplayer/Network support via the IFCS (International Free Chess Society), using Xboard/eBoa...

Re: PLEASE VOTE! NEW BATTLETECH CHESS GAME

But before we all get to side-tracked and off topic, so far what I have been reading in all the posts this BattleTech Chess Game project sounds neat and interesting. I am looking forward to seeing the final release. So is the actual game going to be 2D sprites of 3D images, or in full 3D? As of rig...

Re: PLEASE VOTE! NEW BATTLETECH CHESS GAME

Ideally, players would choose between more than the Clan and IS factions. The factions have quite different Mechs available. For example, Clan Ghost Bear would have Grizzly and Kodiak, Smoke Jaguar would have Dire Wolf, Clan Wolf would have Timber Wolf, and so on. Looks like SDL has been ported to ...

Re: PLEASE VOTE! NEW BATTLETECH CHESS GAME

Re: PLEASE VOTE! NEW BATTLETECH CHESS GAME

I went with picking the Atlas and the Dire Wolf as the queen, as the same resons you listed the mechs being the mightiest on both sides, I figured it matched the might of the queen in chess.
