Hello all – it’s been a while, but I promise that have been very busy working on the Starflight remake. I’m about to reveal a major update to the planet generator, but before I do so, I’d like to bring your attention to a new feature of this website.

The new feature is called “Community” and it’s basically a forum powered by MyBB. You can get there by clicking on the “Community” link in the menu bar up there, or by clicking here.

In there you will see a section called “Starflight: The Remaking of a Legend” and that is where everything related to this remake will go. Occasionally I will put out a call for help in the “Dev Corner”, so please pay special attention to that. Feel free to discuss the game and make feature requests in there the general discussion area as well. The forum is pretty much bare right now, but that’s only because it is brand new… so it is up to you to post messages and bring it to life! 🙂

The Mysterion Ship

I was able to quickly create and add the Mysterion ship to the game. By looking at the images from the original game, it looks like the Mysterions fly around in a sphere that is a grid. Too easy.

All I had to do was create a standard sphere in 3DS Max, then use the edit poly modifier to select all the faces and do a “negative outline”. Then I deleted all the selected faces and what I was left with was a sphere that is a grid. I did also use the tesselate modifier, and then the spherize modifier, to make the object more rounded.

Here is a video of the Mysterion ship in action!

State of the Remake

It’s time for another “State of the Remake” video! This one is about 30 minutes long. In this one, I visit all of the races that you can encounter in the game. The comm system isn’t 100% done yet, but it is mostly working. The orange/green “pill” thingy that you will see is just a temporary placeholder for ship models that I have not built yet.

Next up – while the rest of the team are doing research for me to help me get the comm system 100% complete, I will be working on all of the ship models.

Have a safe new year’s eve!

Note: apparently there is no sound in the YouTube video… which means the video was recorded without sound. I do not know how that happened. :-\
