Were you going to be releasing sourcecode too?  Either as a patch or a separate tree entirely?

The source is available in the Google Code link:

svn checkout http://uqm-hd.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ uqm-hd-read-only

Trying this now. Looks fantastic.

Ah, doy, should've thought to look there when I saw the Google Code link in that post.  :)  Thanks!

The source code is also in the zip file.  We're going to start making a transition to sourceforge shortly.  Googlecode just has too many limits.   At the time, honestly, the idea of releasing the game felt more like a pipe dream so file size issues was the furthest thing from my mind.  Oldlaptop is taking care of the Linux stuff. Source is also available on Googlecode.

I posted a link on reddit.  I'd love to get some upvotes so others can find out about this game.

Just downloading the file. Also, I made a topic about this HD mod on the forums of Pelit magazine, the biggest gaming publication in Finland, also a big Star Control 2 advocate.

My initial thoughts: it works and looks pretty good. I'm not sure if I like the red coloured menu graphics, though. The increase in resolution may have done something to the AI, e.g. Androsynths never seem to engage you in melee unless you harass them with projectiles.

Just tried out the actual game. Oh my god, oh my goooood. I'm incredibly excited! Looks awesome. Looks like we have a winner here!

A high-resolution version of the Balance Mod is being worked on, a working alpha of that will hopefully be ready by the end of this week.

Just registered to say THANK YOU.  This is one of my favorite games of all time.  I just played this for 10 minutes, and the art is wonderfully done!  I can't wait to go through all the redone artwork.  This is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

Well, we've got Linux now. We are going to get a balance mod soon. I'll be working on the 640x480 mode so it can work on laptops, and mobile devices. Hoping to get it ported to Android and Chrome Web browser.

We've got a new programmer who is working on a prototype animation system to allow for smooth rotations. It will be able to turn on/off for you melee vets. It's still too early to say when it's going to happen.

Glad you like it!

The black/red motif was just a way to seperate the look from UQM, and Project 6014. I went with the red slave shield and the Kohr-Ah for a red/black look. I plan on overhauling the GUI In the future to make it look less dated.

Never noticed the Androsynth problems. Anybody else having these issues?

Well, we've got Linux now.

I'm afraid those packages aren't quite complete.  Embarrassed  I need to re-do the game data packages, since I didn't realize the HD mod changed UQM's base content package. I also need to find some way to get the ~600mb of data files onto Sourceforge, since I can't upload something that big over my Internet connection. I hope to have it all finished by the end of today (GMT -0500) or tomorrow at the latest.

Ive noticed a few gliches in species animations:

Yehat captain constantly blinks his eyes in rapid, looks silly.

Melnorme eye iris goes dark after doing that pupil switch thingie.

Looking forward to player's feedback so that found bugs can be squashed in Alpha 2 (or Beta1?  Grin)!
