Re: Looks great!

SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

Cool. That is good news on Designator Hawk's progress.
And, yeah, on the longer views there's some framerate issues. I'm going to try to do something about that. The issue is, I think, when there's a lot of lights visible (I tried to recreate some of the lighting strategies of the original level with streaming/polygonal-based lighting, but it doesn't really work out well because the textures don't catch light in the same way and I ended up creating a lot of redundant lights.
