News Meet the Team #9- Tom Kewell (Designer)

[MikeSnos]

As for the comments aimed @Mike, well Mr Brookes has implied that certain players (ok I mean Psykokow) may experience sudden unexplained systems failures like a sudden absence of shields, engines and weapons systems.

To go with his lack of taste as well perhaps?

No that's already included

How's this?

What, where? Fer-De-Lance! Yes! Atlast the beauty is being made

Ive seen this pic before on the net. I dont know if this is from Oolite but to portrait the Fer-De-Lance. A Wolf ship and one of the fastest and sleekest from the original Elite as slow and with tiny lazers... w t f. I hope and suggest that it will be the pirates dream and the bountyhunters nightmare. As it will be both fast, agile and can be modded to the teeth. I hope

Thx for a great interview. And good to see the designers are on track with content

I heard a rumour that it was being released in 2D, R-Type style?

Well apparently I'm bound by contract to neither confirm nor deny anything.

This is what I saw on Ben's monitor last time I walked past

I can see three 'A's in there. Is that what was meant by AAA game?

 

[Philip Coutts]

I'm not convinced this is really the top end pc game we were promised. Maybe when it gets optimised it will look better?

That actually is the official description of the ship from the original Elites, afaik.

Is there a KickStarter for this and will it be available on the Mac?

Shouldn't this be in Peek of the Week?

Still, good to see that the game is heading in the right direction, graphically.

would this have anything to do with the Holy Rock of Elite?

Blessed are the Rocks

I think everyone needs to just calm down a bit - you can't expect that level of detail in the finished product.

I bet it's not even in game footage..

Dang.. youre telling me its pre-rendered.. all of it?

Only the alien ship is pre-rendered. The rest is all in-game footage, honest.

 

[psykokow]

Man its AMAZING.... soo imagine it on the oculus... scary biscuits..

 

[amigacooke]

Wait a minute! This game has three lives. That is so completely against the Elite ethos that I'm going to theoretically withdraw my pledge immediately.

In a non-violent non-effective protest.

It has three lives, yes, but that's because it's not running in Ironman mode.

 

[Jenner]

Is this how mining will work in the game? Because I like it!!
