The last Mission (Redux)

[rdc]

Here is the Last Mission salvaged from the scrap heap. I recompiled this and tweaked some things so it would run on my Vista box. Win32 exe and FB source is included. Unzip and preserve directories.

I have to say, it was nice seeing this again. This is my favorite of the demos I have done. One day I hope I can go 3D on this; it would be cool.

I watched it again today, it was a nice trip, thanks 

[benny!]

Yeah, thanks for reviving it again. I still have to say that the atmosphere it
creates is just wonderful. The text is so well written and the music fits perfectly.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Having watched this again and reading the words, it put me in mind of a book my father had when I was a child.
I remember reading this book time and time again.
The book contained some stunning artwork and a story to go with each painting.

I think you'd love this book, it's a bit of a collectors item now, but well worth it.

I recall seeing some of those pictures here and there. I didn't realize that they were from a book series. Very cool. Thanks!

[Shockwave]

I'm sure you'd love it

And your demo is nice too

Wow, that was beautifull! I'm really glad I saw this, incredible atmosphere, very well done! 

Also, thanks for that link shockwave. Ever since I started 3d modelling I've been looking for image heavy SF books for inspiration. I found a few interesting reads but the artwork was usually limmited to the cover. It seems a little costly even today, but I've got a feeling it will be worth it.

Kirl, I did a little bit of googling and found some of the pictures from the book;



There's loads more online too

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I (go)ogled a bit online, that book is excellent. Apparantly it is a series of four books and I found the entire series on the high seas, yaharr! I'll keep an eye out for the paper versions though.

@rdc
Everytime I see lm.exe on my desktop I have to click it, the lonely, eerie atmosphere reminds me of Moon (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/). Way to equal a hollywood production with a few lines of code!!

[rdc]

Heh. Thanks I really appreciate it.

Moon looks good. I'll have to see if I can find that one.

I remembered it the first time, just to echo "Nice One Dude!"

[rdc]

Thanks man.
