Oolite Bulletins

Unusual... Three rock hermits in a row with perfetly synchronized rotation.

When rock hermits align... Should we be looking for the Flying Dutchman?

New laser fx... Oh. My. God. I almost feel sorry for the guys who have to wait until tomorrow for the nightly to get built. Freespace2, eat your heart out. Talking about seriously enhancing combat in the game. Great job, cim.

By tomorrow you of course mean midnight tonight right?
Midnight GMT right?
As in a mere hour and a half from now right?

I'm off tomorrow, I'm not leaving this chair.
I'm all twitchy.

Well, maybe not quite. The latest nightly has this tag:
Tue Nov 20 04:41:45 UTC 2012
I would recommend getting some sleep. You'll need to be fresh when you start combat with the new beams tomorrow.

The Russians, god love them. They can do an enigmatic perspective:

We are many, brought together by our appreciation of old games, and a wish to make them just a touch cooler.

Indeed.. pity the clicked-on images aren't any bigger..

I had a pic of a Caduceus on my HDD too, I made a normalmap for it once Oolite started shipping with materials -directory in shipdata.plist.

The Dark Side?


The new lasers and the heating effect on the Griff gun barrel were made for each other.

Thanks again for that link.. I ran it through google-translate, and it's a quite well-written and occasionally amusing review of Oolite. Well worth a look. (my favourite line: "Do not be afraid of the thunder of your drunken style docking" )

I'm loving the new nightly build. Vipers, in particular, are much, much, cooler now.
