As you know, we've been working on something that's been taking time away from the Airburst Extreme update. It's called ToySight Gold and it's an expansion pack for ToySight. More details later, but here's a teaser screenshot...

Judging by the Gun Temp (cool - BANG) meters, it figures.

You SO need to make Airburst Toysight edition with player controlled double bats.
(and multiplayer editions. :o )

The gun temperature gauge shows how hot your guns are getting if you keep firing. If you don't let your guns cool down, they'll jam and you'll have to wave at the unjam guns buttons that appear at the top of the screen to get them to work again Smile

Of course, that means that if you're playing a network game, the other players will spot you wobbling about the sky and know they can attack you while you've got no guns Wink

Hey,

A missile warning idiot light? And you're chasing an Albatross? OK, color me curious.

Let's just say it's not exactly historically accurate Wink

Slight hickup over the weekend with the network computer AI cheating, but hopefully a demo release today Smile

Ok, we're nearly ready to start letting the demo loose for a bit of testing. The full release of the game and demo will be at MWSF, but we're going to 'open beta' the demo of FlySight to get some good testing in of its network code.

If anyone wants to have a go of it, email me at zwilnik@mac.com with your email address and what spec of Mac/s you've got. Primarily we're aiming to test LAN play, so if you've got multiple Macs and friends that's ideal, but testing of the single player mode is good too.

Soon as I get an iSight... maybe. Which I won't right now, but my part time job's starting up again soon, and job = money => iSight. Give me an excuse to head to the Apple Store, too...

Actually, you won't need an iSight (although it's more fun). FlySight and some of the other ToySight Gold games can be played on mouse and keyboard too Smile
