Pretty much, I was too busy this weekend to do much. On an unrelated note, I am now a 2nd Lieutenant in Halo 3. Thought however, has been devoted to Angels 2-uh- you'll see...
Que es en un Nombre?
Sir Sapo and I have been diligently struggling, er -talked on the phone about- making a name for our new project... ideas abound, like "Angels 28" or "Angels 30," or even this beauty of an idea:
It's pronounced "Angels Twenty-Ex (like Ecks)." Of course it loses a lot without taking proper care to say it right, so I'm leaning towards the family-friendly Angels 23. Yeah, we'll think of a cool subtitle like "Operation Prometheus: Assault on the Fortress of Fear; the Final Onslaught" Actually, that will probably be the name of the last mission...
Missions
So, if you were reading last time, there will be only three missions in this new super-project. Each mission will showcase different aspects of the engine, and of gameplay.
Mission 1: Pretty much like the Angels 22 Demo, with pretty islands and ships to blow up, and SAMs to dodge. There should be a rocket facility at the end to serve as a ridiculously cool-looking objective.
Mission 2: An urban nightime mission, where you are tasked with destroying a train loaded with vital material, with secondary objectives along the way. The main point is too show off cool lighting features, so there will be searchlights and flak everywhere(think Berlin '44 meets Baghdad '91)
Mission 3: The least well planned out, so we'll have wiggle-room. Essentially the setting is a mountaintop base in the middle of a "snowy wasteland," to use the words of my good friend, Sir Sapo. There will be a unholy blizzard obscuring the base of the mountain that you will fly out of near the end to meet a blue, blue sky -and some things bent on your destruction.
So three mission isn't a lot, but we're thinking of ways to add some replay value:
Aerocrafts
So in Angeles Viente-dos, you were going to be able to fly the Mk. II and Mk. III F/AX-44 Partisan fighters. Sapo and I thought it would be super-neat if there were once again different airplanes to choose from. The Partisan series(with another alternate Mk. III version that I'm working on) will be the main ones:
It would be even neater, however, if there were more interesting choices...
So, I ask you, the reader, if there's anything in the following picture that you would want to fly:
Take your time...
(F-45 *cough*)
[grin]
-Goodnight!
I'd like to fly the MiG-47, and you would be shirking your duties if you didn't provide the F-22 and SU-37K to fly. The F-45A, while artistically attractive, doesn't really convey the feeling of a fighter or even a bomber. It just looks like a spyplane.
