What you've done sounds fantastic, and is really reminescent of 2097's system voice (at least for me).

Can't wait to play the next build.

No problem, they're all very good regardless :) And thanks, that 2097 system voice style was what I was wanting to achieve!

Bonus points for separating ship AI voice (Weapon pickups/warnings, shield status, etc) and announcer voice (3,2,1, GO!, Contender Eliminated, etc.).

Just an idea. :)

That's a nice idea. I'll definitely keep that in mind for a future feature, right now though I'm just going to stick with the single voice, especially since I'm getting very close to releasing 0.2 :)

I'm hoping to have 0.2 released by this time next month at the very latest, right now I'm programming the custom ship importer and after that I want to get most of the tracks already in the game in a decent state. The ship importer is going to be as friendly as I can make it, right now I'm focusing on making a file browser so you can easily tell BnG where to find the files and I'm also working on storing all of the ship data (mesh, textures and settings) all in one file so all the data can be conveniently stored and loaded from just 1 file.

After 0.2's release, i could try different voice styles for different teams and such, like 2048 (i can't make all of them though ^^)

I suppose I could record some speech at some point and try to record something.

It would be nice, if in 2048, I could have the AG-Systems announcer while piloting a FEISAR. Ah, dreams. :D

Maybe I could help out with voice overs for the game.

Guys! BNG has it's own energy drink now!

In case it doesn't work.

Would buy, need this extra kick to control the Barracuda ^^

Looks good ! Could be an easter egg :)

(PS : I think piloting the Barracuda in spectre is one of the most brutal racing experiences i've ever had. And i mean it in a good way.)

Ha! Well done! How did you get the water droplets to look so damn realistic?

Thank you guys. GGeek gave me quite good idea... to make a BNG Energy ad poster.

@Hybrid Divide: Ha, good thing you asked. Yesterday I tried basically 3 different methods to make a droplets on that can.
First was via displacement map - it was looking really nice, but the render time was just awful.
Second was via particles, that was kinda hard to do (well, easy to do, hard to master), because I don't know how to tweak it properly.
And the third (and currenly used) was quite smart solution. I applied Fur material to the can and make it the shortest lenght possible, which created the droplets (like round spheres basically), then I added some randomness to it and lowered the density a lot. After that I just simply changed the material of it to water and voilá.
You think it look realistic? I'm flattered. :hyper Thank you.

Are you planning to stream development of the game, or perhaps early playtests of it? I think that'd be cool.

He actually posts videos of the progress he makes on his youtube channel.
