Michal announces figher-plane game

By: Ender On: 0:11 28-02-2006
Michal Marcinkowski, creator of soldat, was working on some other projects as well. We knew this from the different interviews but now he gives us something more concrete:

Crimson Glory


It's a fighter-plane game set in the Mediterranean after World War 1. The game will use 3D models in a manga/cartoonish style but gameplay will be 2D.
Planeflighting is not the only thing to do in the game, people can spawn as a normal soldier and getting into a plane is just an option. Something like 2D Battlefield 1942. it will be possible to make soldat 2 with the engine. You migth call it 'soldat with planes'. Michal says. Also there are gonna be zappelins.
There's a site with a short description but no screens yet. However there is a request for developpers (mainly graphical) and an artwork example. First playable network beta is to be expected before the summer.

Clearly it is something different then the other project Michal told us to be working on, about that we knew that it was 2D, platform style and single player. If that project is cancelled or is still been worked on is unknown. Let's ask Michal:

[Ender] Does it mean the single player platform game you told us about before is cancelled now or are you working at both projects?
[Michal] Ah yes. That project is on hold right now. Maybe I'll return to it but in a couple years probably.

He also promised not to quit working on soldat for this so don't you worry guys.

Nah soldat still needs vehicles :D

Hehe nah but bugfixing soldat is not such a small job, especially if you include fixing netcode in that :) I hope he has enough time for it now he's occupied with this new game, i mean it's a lot more fun to put your time into developping something new then it is to work yourself through shitty code already written looking for bugs.

^lol

Yep, the chorus of \"ZOMG, I HITZ YOU 50ZILLION TIMEZ AND NO DIE\" will ring out across the Crimson Glory Forums (if there is to be one).
Frankly, it sounds cool, but I really think it needs more than plains...
