Features

[Malmer]

Got some new game engine features to announce. It's official (on the webpage), but I thought I'd just post it in here too...<br><br>* Smoke (Carpe just love this)<br>Damaged units and buildings that soon will collapse will show you this by the pillar of smoke that comes out of it. Move your unit and the smoke will be as a trail behind it!<br><br>* Advanced pathfinding<br>Argentum uses a custom pathfinding algorithm designed specifically with the performance of PocketPC:s in mind. <br><br>* Trajectories (this is one of my favorites)<br>Moving units great distances has never been clearer! Now you will see exactly the path your soldiers will choose.<br><br>* Automatic performance adjustment (good stuff)<br>The game detects the performance of the game in realtime and adjusts the game accordingly by reducing number of explosions and smoke. Generally you won't even see any visual difference, but you will still keep great framerates<br><br>- F

Please make the last an option. I guess the third and first would be good options too.<br><br>How many of the entire list of features in the game are an option?<br>

[CARPEDIEM]

It won't be an option, i wanted to make it an option at first but i really can't tell the difference if that's on or off. so it will stay.<br>

[Moose or Chuck]

It meaning the automatic performance adjustment?<br>Ok... fine, as long as it doesn't take away from the visuals too much.

[Malmer]

Guys...I don't mean to boast or anything (ok maybe a little) but I would say that now the visuals way are better than those seen in the screenshots. Why?<br><br>BECAUSE SMOKE ROCKS!!!<br><br>// Fredrik

OMG I cant wait until this is released. That last feature sounds really kick arse.

[John Lomax]

Man, you guys rule. I leave you alone for a week and now look what you've done. Awesome.<br><br>Johnny 5.

[Malmer]

Thanks man!<br><br>We implemented that fighter you sent us, and made a blue laser for it, and all I can say is that it looks very nice. The units you guys (you and wiro) make are absolutely amazing.

heartwarming.

[Paul]

so who gets what from the profits?

[sickman2o0o]

and us?<br>we are not allowed to see it???<br>orrrrr come on!

[Paul]

stop doing that ??? shit, man. gee whiz.

[Malmer]

sickman: <br>Hey, the whole world can't be beta testers.<br><br>I know all this waiting might be painful for you, but we want to make a game that is actually good. And if we had developed it in secret and just released it then you wouldn't know of the wait, but then again...it is way more fun for us as developers to have the making of the game somewhat more open. And the game generally gets better that way too.<br><br>// Fredrik
