First stage opportunity fire is now in! This took less time than I expected.  You can now be spotted by multiple enemies if you walk into their line of sight. They will each take a firing action at you in turn, which can be more than one shot depending on the weapon. Currently they can see you from any angle if they have a line of sight, so I need to make them only check when the player would be within their 90 degree range of vision arc. I also need to add in some alert text saying you have been spotted by x enemies (in the same way you get now when you spot enemies).  |

Ok, I've now got the opportunity fire to work only if the player moves within the 90 degree range of view of an enemy. At first I messed about with the angles, but this quickly got a bit messy due to the way angles wrap around from 360 to 0. So, I went for a simpler solution based on using the dx and the dy of the difference between the two units (enemy and yours). That works fine. Next I need to add in a Spotted Alert. |

I was wondering, what amount of hours a week do you spend on your game; it seems to have a so good progress rate ! I'm always frustrated as my projects don't progress much because I only work on it on my spare time, so I have only few hours a week...  |

Someone mentioned a gameplay video; have you made one yet? I'd be interested to see how this is all coming together.

Peous: Not that much with the wedding planning. I have more time at the weekend, but with a full time job as well it's difficult to progress that fast.

Ha ha - that was super fast. Is that what you meant by 'opportunity fire'? If so, I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not - what other way could you approach that particular situation (as an example)? Still, very nice work so far!

Nice video!
But you don't see oponents because you're not turned toward them ?
It was something that frustrated me in UFO. If someone is shot from the left, he would turn left if someone fires (even if he loses 1 movement point), that seems natural... don't you want to do something like this ?

SolarLune: Yes that's opportunity fire, although normally you will probably only have one enemy spot you. And you have to have enough action points left to be able to use opportunity fire (the green or orange squares). Peous: That's an idea, I'll have to think about that.. |

Improved the ability to select a direction for turning to at the end of a move - now you don't have to be quite so precise with the mouse. |

Thanks, but the frame rate of the video is very low as I don't have a powerful machine.
When I play the game it's a solid 60 fps in reality.

Pretty cool, how far off might an official trailer be? |

I don't know about a trailer, I was thinking more of releasing a technical demo (i.e. night not be very playable) in a few weeks time. I just don't have much free time at the moment. |

It would have made me so happy if Admiral Ackbar continued to crawl along his merry way, hoping the aliens wouldn't notice his fakery. And edit, can we have the lady from the related videos do the turn announcements? She seems like a perfect fit for the theme. |
