it loads, then I get a few message-boxes which I need to OK away by hitting enter, then I get an ugly-ass Smash Designs logo and some goa, and nothing more... have to kill it with taskmanager, all the while it starts using more and more memory. so. um.

(dx9retail/debug both did the same, 41.09 detonators, xp)

bah. I sound like DiamonDie. :)

oh my god, what is this!?!
+++ for wayfinder's music
+++ for the heli-model
++ for the spaceships & scud-launcher
+ for idea & story
- - for the well-known backgrounds
- - - for the explosions
i hope this is an unfinished prod, not comparable with adrenalin or sleepless...

Well done scenes and a typical Wayfinder tune. Was quite enjoyable on the big screen, but it's nothing for my old machine. On sunday morning they showed a version with stereoscopic effect, but wasn't that impressive like in the FR intro 'Dopplerdefekt'

very nice models, bad cameras, very bad textures, nice music, lousy code (with many many zbuffer artifacts). gets a piggy

i like the models too!!
the music RULES

I could finally run it in here..

I'll give it a thumb for the 3d models. Otherwise, it looks like a badly made story with loosy explosions :)

Is the 3d model of the mothership, supposed to be inspired by the one in Triage3?

Boah, the industrial class models are just exciting. Otherwise, it runs slow, sometimes does not draw anything properly (here on nvidia).

The anaglyphic part of the engine is horribly broken: lack of green makes it monochrome-ish, mistreatment of fog and transparent objects, etc.

The billboarded explosions are well choreographed and don't look quite as boring as the particle-based ones usually tend to... if they were not so obviously lowres and ripped!

Very nice build up to invasion, nice mothership, poor explosions, nice music.

typical newskool sd prod: stunning meshes that clearly state: "It took three weeks to model me", but the rest is just crap..

I really miss this unique SD design ;)
