First Command is a 2D top down game that takes advantage of the simplicity of two dimensions. Contested star systems provide the backdrop for epic space combat. Players will be able to fight for control of planets. They will be able to walk the decks of capitol class ships crewed by npc’s as well as their friends over multiplayer. They will even be able to fight other ships; blasting them apart one part at a time or boarding them to destroy them from the inside.
Another upgrade to the art is the Captain character. I have taken to using blender to make simple 3D meshes that I then render into 2D images. It is creating a much better effect than my bad drawings. It is turning out to have a very good "Time to Quality" ratio.
