A truly wonderful mod. Helps with animations dealing with teleportation and wheeled robots.  

By Andrew Goulding of Brawsome (Jolly Rover). An interesting read:

I guess now would be a perfect time to announce that our game title is being changed to Moon Base: Boryokudan. 

Hey, Grim.

Any update on your progress? Really looking forward to this one.

Thanks AJA, this is a great program.

Despite already owning an older version, I will probably pick up the 2.0 version. I've mentioned this before, but I'll give it another shot: Any chance later on for a version that has voice acting? I'd gladly own a third copy at a higher price, for that.

Just Adventure now has a glowing review up. Check it out:

Are those "in-game" shots?  I see no GUIs, characters, cursors ... 

Yes, these are in-game. Still working on the characters, GUIs, etc.  Using temp elements at the moment. Does this mean I've jumped the gun in making this announcement in this forum?

Thanks.

[Moon Base: Orion]

Coming from Red Talon Games as a commercial digital download in Q4 2010:

Moon Base: Orion

“Space janitor Rad Tunever finds his vacation unceremoniously cut short when his shuttle receives a mysterious distress call from the far-flung Moon Base: Orion. Only the curious phrase  '...robots rebelling...' could be deciphered before being abruptly cut off . Myopic by nature and armed only with  sarcasm, Rad is the most unlikely of heroes. Will he be able to find the resolve within himself to defeat a threat of galactic proportions and rescue the base inhabitants before they ask him to just please leave?

No. No he can't.”

These screen shots are reduced in size. The game is 1024 x 768.

This looks truly amazing and the graphics are fantastic.

You should try selling this one, I know I'd pay for it.

WOW!  :o

*Very* impressive looking. Glad to see you are making good progress.

Looks great. Can't wait to give it a go.

I'm specifically designing my game to work around this problem, as I would want those with older systems to enjoy the game fully. Each room will allow for only one uniform size of the character - but where scaling would normally be required, I'll be scripting in a separate view. To limit the number of sprites, I hope to keep these 'extra' views limited to transition screens (just walking, climbing etc.) where other animations aren't required.  

And, thanks to vectoring, I don't have to worry about my artist going insane from creating the extra scaled sprites.

Or should I say more insane.  

Very cool. Looking forward to this.

I'm having a 'crashing' good time with this. 

Well done!

As a fellow Smeghead, I approve of this endeavor.

Looks great! 

Just as an aside - despite not winning anything at the Aggies   :'( ,  I did vote for Downfall in multiple categories (story, setting, best indie game, and a couple of others).

I felt it deserved it.

A fantastic effort, well done! Having gone through all your youtube tutorials, I look forward to diving into this.

Fun little game. Well done!
