Well, we can't show you the maps yet, since those are still being put together. And we can't really show you much of anything else, because that goes over the map. However, there's something else we can now show you: two screenshots, one taken on my old laptop playing at fixed resolution, and another taken by one of the testers using... wait for it... THE NEW WIDESCREEN RESOLUTION THAT ERIC RECENTLY ADDED.

I know some of you were hoping for more screenshots with a bit more content, but these two blacked-out rectangles will nonetheless be quite welcome to a good number of you.

First, here's the screenshot from my computer. As you can tell from the report, I was in the midst of a thrilling battle.

And here's the widescreen:

By the way, regarding the thread's name... ain't I a stinker? [:D]

Night time battle then???

Naw, blindness caused by battle fatigue. Just like in that "Band of Brothers" episode.

And here's the widescreen:

DAM YOU!!!!!

You really had my hopes up there.

Ah well, back to waiting....

Is that Battletoads?

Someone needs to hang Gil up by his Buster Browns until he is remorseful for being such a tease. But yeah, widescreen.

Now for some much needed criticism, You do plan on working to revamp the battle windows I hope?

See, no good deed goes unpunished.

Define "battle windows."

Err...I meant battle report window. Sorry.

Actually, just trying to continue the discussion and pry for more revealing screens.

We have to focus our graphics efforts elsewhere, so we'll probably retain that particular graphic for the turn-by-turn combat reports.

No screenshots can be shown just yet. I've been planning for a new "reveal" by describing our c&c system, but have been too busy to write it up. Give me a few more days...

Man you sucked me right in.[:@]

That night-time shot was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Stunning...  [&o][&o][&o]


It looks so real, just like when I'm turning out the lights when I go to bed.

Is this game dead?

Is this game dead?

yes

Who cares. The Scourge of War compendium edition has beaten them to the draw for my money.

Absolutely not dead (even if my absence from this forum might suggest it). In fact, I just posted the other day a "balloon's going up" sort of post for the testers, to let them know that after other projects -- especially "Conflict of Heroes" -- have gotten in the way it will now be our primary focus, and there will be the first new build to test in eons. And, more importantly, the map art is finally beginning to materialize, with Wilson's Creek the first map to be done (after Pixelpusher makes a few minor corrections), so it won't be too long before I can show you what the maps will look like.

And I have no doubt that the BAB series will feature things that SoW does not have, so my guess is that a good number of you will want both.
