You know, I don't see why you couldn't get this game released on the X-Box. Microsoft offers a pretty cheap way to 'get in' (xbox incubator program). All you have to do is go up to microsoft and say you've got this great game you're working on but as a small 'company' cannot license it. They allow you to 'rent' an Xbox development kit for six months (what you need to program for Xbox which programmers have said is very easy, for example castle wolfenstein has taken over a year to port to PS2, XBox manged to go past them in graphics and progress in six weeks). It usually costs ten grand to buy the thing, but this is setup for small companies with innovative ideas that don't have ten grand. You then create a demo with that kit, and if the demo shows promise (which this already shows more than promise) you might be able to persuade a publisher to help you out. They can buy the B5 license, and put up the cash for mass producing it (and hiring a bigger team or whatever). And with that developers Xbox you get technical assistance and business guidance. The XBox could be the perfect platform too, since the controller has three control sticks/pads which would give full control over a starfuries manuvering, as well as triggers to get that arcade feel. Also, it outperforms by roughly double in graphics ability to decent PC's, so you'll be able to pump up the in-game graphics and texture much more (which shouldn't be hard since you've got the basic models in place, all you do is add to it or edit parts).
And there are virtually no space sims at least that I know of on XBox, so you'll be a sort of monopoly. And if it's succesful on the XBox it can be ported to PC, like Halo is. And what with an already established fanbase, it should be a lot easier to convince a publisher to pick up the game. Hey, it could happen.. the game 'chase' did and it has nothing on this.
Btw, great pictures... love the battle damage graphics.
Well that's the point of the demo, they aren't selling the game. They just show it off like a conceptcar, and if it's recieved well it could be picked up by a publisher. And the publisher (I wouldn't be suprised if microsoft wanted a piece) will have the money to buy the license from warner brothers (don't think sierra has the license anymore, right? If they do, it can still be bought). With the license they're then able to sell the game.

Mr. Lord, they are NOT selling the game. For one thing WB isn't selling any licences for B5 at the moment, and if they did, they wouldn't have enough money to buy one. This game will be FREEware. They covered this many many times. Yes, a game this good can be free. The demo is just a nosh for us to chew on until they can finish the full game.

Recently I've made up a number of Star Fury wingart 'decals' from the show, so here are some of them. These could possibly be used in historical missions of the main campaign.

Thanks for the links, Alpha-1! Be sure that you'll have all the wing-art available for the historical missions. I've made almost all but for few decals with difficult images such as [i]Earth's Angel[/i] or [i]Snake Bite[/i]. It's just that I can't show you all of them at once.

Yup, I'm back from my vacation 6 days ago and I'm ready to continue working for our project. Small gift for you in "Shots" - new version of the Omega class destroyer. And by the way, we're working on russian web-site version. Stay tuned. Good Luck!
I remember when the project first started, frankly, I thought it would die as one of those half accomplished pipe dreams of so many gamers on the net. Or if it did come to pass it would not be all that great. I can see now that I was mistaken, fortunatly. Looks awesome guys. I can't wait.
Wow those shoots are amazing!!! I love the quality and the detail! Think I'm gonna have to build myself a pc to play these, as I doubt we'll be seeing a Mac version [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]
