Ah Sereja, you're a right wizard and conjuring original assets. Keep up the good work and know you're highly appreciated!

Nah, it's just resting.

Good to hear you're enjoying the games. Well, we're all still here so they must be pretty good right? A few of us are OG, but it's always nice to have new folk turn up.

I did know about the cancelation of a sequel called imperial commando but i didnt know enough to mention it I didnt want to give out any false info.  I didnt realize how early it was canceled though. I remember a couple years ago someone pulled an obvious hoax claiming there would be an announcement/trailer for imperial commando at e3.

I suppose so many projects were in development hell in the last years of Lucas Arts games. Just look at the many weird Star Wars Battlefront sequels that never came to pass, for example.
Maybe there might have been an E3 announcement, but it got pulled eh. Just look at 1313 being announced and immediately canned...

The curse seems to permeate today... what with Visceral's canned project.

I think this weird time for the Star Wars IP in general, what with the low box-office returns of SOLO, and the massive budget TV show in the works.

We may eventually get an RC sequel... I recall how once upon a time no one really expected SWBF to really come back after the multitude of canned projects.

I gave it a try a few minutes ago.

I got killed very easily--is it correct that there is no "respawn" ?

Yup, it's a jolly enough arcade experience in that sense.

The skill ceiling can be quite high what with the building mechanic.
I would recommend playing in squads or 50v50 to get used to controls, weapons and mechanics.

You're an asset appropriation MACHINE.

Looks great Sereja, especially the lighting!

Er...

All that time I spent worrying about SSL may now be spent drinking tea?

Has the targa been compressed in some way (from what I remember there's a check box for it?
Maybe try replacing the texture with one that definitely works to see what happens. Then maybe using an image editor and transplant the texture you want into that working file.

Sorry if this is obvious stuff that you tried already.

Saw it weekend of release; it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
Nothing in it profoundly annoyed me, and I found myself grinning during some scenes.

. L337 was fine.
. Alden Ehrenreich did really well to play the character of Han besides a simple impersonation, he had the right kind of charm factor.
. Kira was better than I thought she'd be.
. [spoiler]Maul[/spoiler] was fine but maybe a bit ham-fisted.
. Chewie was great
. Thandie Newton was underused

The first 20 minutes or so could have been streamlined, opening with an inconsequential chase scene was odd. But I don't make films so whatever.

I hope they get a chance at a sequel regardless of how much money it made.

I think I enjoyed it more than RO for having better characterisation, i.e more fleshed out and interesting.
RO's most redeeming feature is probably the last 30 minutes, which is an odd symmetry to how SOLO gets better after the half way mark... And ANH to some extent!

Maybe it's just that a lot of Star Wars films have issues with the first act.

Welcome! You'd be surprised at how many folk around here were right there with you in 2004.

Seems really weird to me, I would not have been a fan of this at all. It seems strange to say now, but in some ways I think Lucas Arts was scrapping the bottom of the barrel for fresh ideas...

From what I can gather there was a lack of confident direction; they tried a lot of different ideas and the higher ups didn't seem to have the confidence to let production teams take ay particular risks; so projects repeatedly collapsed and re-started until nothing at all was achieved.

There's a lot of really great journalistic accounts of the last years of LucasArts.

This one in particular makes a good bash at it:

From the makers of Time Splitters...

They were definitely going for some alternate reality or time-travel-shenanigan game.

This is fake, Free Radical was shut down shortly after they cancelled BF3, plus why would BF4 be made if 3 was not even done?

BF3 was was nearly complete so portions of the development team were already at the concept stage of SWBF4.

It seems like there was a burst of activity with Lucas Arts projects just before collapse, what with 1313, SWBF3, early plans for SWBF4, SWBF 'Online' (?), 'First Assault' etc etc.

From my model or a screen from the episode? I can do the model but the episode is trickier because I personally don't have access to Star Trek Discovery, only what's been sent to me.

Oh the model, you've got all the proportions pretty spot on.

I don't suppose you could take a screenshot of it from a higher angle, ay?

I'm having trouble figuring out how far out the saucer section should be in relation to the 'body'.

I suspect the interior might take the same approach as the ship - familiar yet updated. I'm interested to see who portrays Pike and Spock - Bruce Greenwood still does TV but I'd imagine Zachary Quinto would be too expensive. I'd expect them to ask though seeing as Leonard Nimoy saw him as the successor to the role of Spock.

Quinto would be nice. Maybe with the success the show has had they might be able to afford him for at least an episode or two.

I'm hoping the interior is a nice stage in between DIS and TOS or even TMP.
