Mmh! But oh wells, could you at least give us a screenshot of something...

Sure - here's a few things that are in progress :D

Stop lights for the various ships flying around. I'm working on having various streams of space traffic flying around outside (these were posted in TEG last week)

Here's a view from your apartment. I've now got a working computer so people can send you space messages (and periodically items). You can also check your faction status with the local authorities. I may even add a news channel (though it would just be a book or something that you read - no animated stuff or anything fancy like that)

I was excited about the space traffic so I've goten rid of the transporter system and started replacing it with a taxi system. Here's a shot from the cockpit (yeah, it's just a flying scouting orb)

That looks amazing! Thanks for the update, and keep at it. I don't mind if it doesn't get released for another 5 years. Every screenshot gets better and better!

Drool! :cheeky:

Y' know, you could just have an image and have the tv act like a sound source...

Like, the textures in Kill factory that you made, only just rather-worse-than-rocky-and-bullwinkle-animation.

. . . Thanks for the update, and keep at it.

Hey thanks for taking an interest! This thread has certainly given me a lot of energy and motivation. I really appreciate it :)

@Albert - Yes I suspect that's what I'll do!

OMG! those screenshots are fantastic. I can't wait to play this one.
Thanks for the update.
