I read the announcement on your blog!
The game looks amazing and very well polished, there seems to be so much details in the backgrounds specially the planet screen shot..

Yep, many events depend on BG animations

All ships, ships interiors and mechanical stuff were created using Google SketchUp, then imported into photoshop to color and put some effects...

PassionatePatty · « **Reply #13 on:** 16 Jul 2012, 05:25 »

cool! hey I know you are kinda careful and secretive about the story but can you tell me if some of the characters from TMH are going to appear here as well?

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #14 on:** 17 Jul 2012, 05:41 »

a couple yeah

bearish · « **Reply #15 on:** 17 Jul 2012, 16:34 »

31 rooms already??? I have a feeling this is going to be one epic long space adventure!
how far -in gameplay terms- are 31 rooms?

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #16 on:** 18 Jul 2012, 19:21 »

< 10% of game play...
It will be one hell of a long journey...

A 5-year mission, perhaps? (Or even a continuing one...)

The third pic in your first post reminds of me Endor... really nice work. I guess I'll have to get round to playing the first game sometime!

you reminded me of Wing Commander 2, I was laughing with my younger brother when we first got it, the intro had stuff like: 10 days later, 20 months later, 40 years later...

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #20 on:** 22 Jul 2012, 16:05 »

PassionatePatty · « **Reply #21 on:** 22 Jul 2012, 17:58 »

Blue Station is not midi $:-\$ lol j/k I love old school midi

selmiak · « **Reply #22 on:** 22 Jul 2012, 22:03 »

still haven't played the first one... will there be a price drop on the first one or a bundeled sale? This is looking very interesting.

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #23 on:** 23 Jul 2012, 06:41 »

thanks selmiak, there will be changes, no bundle plans -yet-

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #32 on:** 24 Aug 2012, 17:28 »

thanks ~TongueSplit~ and you're right, I did include many animals and puzzles (and scary music)
but this is only one planet among many others in the game

Kimbra · « **Reply #33 on:** 29 Aug 2012, 06:27 »

may I know how you created the second bg? (ship interior and red lights)

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #34 on:** 30 Aug 2012, 01:26 »

Google SketchUp and Photoshop

AnasAbdin · « **Reply #35 on:** 01 Sep 2012, 13:32 »
