Video quality isn't the best but what I can see looks pretty slick. I'm really suprised to see this kind of functionality/quality on a pocketpc.  Explosions are killer. Looks like a pretty intense game, any idea what battery life is going to be like? Any possiblity of a better quality teaser?  Looking forward to getting my hands on it <br><br>Josh

Quality isn't great, but from what I could tell, looks phenomenal.  As for the quality, I think you would get better results by going into a dark room and remaking your video.  A closet with no light should work well.  You will not get fade from surrounding lighting that way.  If you already tried that step then I have no improvement ideas.

WOW! Beautiful.  The explosions a great, and game play really looks smooth.  For a second there, you almost couldn't tell it was running on a PPC.

Thanks guys, we'll se what we can do about the video, i'll try what you suggested radian, thanks.<br>I'll keep on coding now, i still have to add the new missile turret.<br>we'll have a mayor update in the site probably tomorrow, so stick around.<br><br><br>Last modification: CARPEDIEM - 06/28/01 at 09:47:41

The explosions do look great. But something about the units seems so flat. The buildings are small compaired to the units. And the flying ships... I can't tell they're flying. <br>I don't know what would help this, other than making the ships kind of move just slightly so they don't look locked in position.<br>And I can't tell this on the video, but lots of shading, on the units and on the ground from the units.

Looks pretty good, gameplay-wise.<br><br>Photogenics (www.idruna.com) was able to capture video for their product by running it through the emulator and video-capturing it. The video was slowed down to emulate the framerate of an iPAQ.<br><br>It's not the BEST way, but the quility of their video was very good, and I wouldn't have guessed it wasn't actually running on a PPC.

Err... check back at the bottom of page 1. I've got another suggestion. Maybe some kind of particle emission from the flying craft, along with the other suggestions. This may make it kind of cluttered though, especially on the small screen.

looks good. thats it.

The explosions do look nice, I'm impressed.  The main problem is that this video really isn't showing the amazing graphics this game actually has on the PPC.  This game looks much much MUCH better running on a PPC. oh, i like the music too

[Paul]

i hear the guy who did the music really... stinks.
