Mixed good and bad news this run....Our coder has left to work on a different project which, frankly, blows and sets us back enormously. We did get all the source code he's done to this point, which means once we find a new coder we don't have to restart all the work, but can continue forward.
In the mean time I've learned some new code so I can continue forward with designing the G.U.I. so that part will continue, and hopefully be ready when we do get a new coder.
Discussions in the forums on in game missions, and we've talked in IRC about engine types for air and space craft, what will and won't be available, and roughly how it will work.
The best news at this time, however, is that the 3D artist who was making our first in house mech, the Cougar, has returned to working on it with a vengeance! He's redesigning the whole chassis from the last time we've seen it. Initial pics in the forums and here.
