legend had it, that many eons ago mythical pants were sewed together from the finest of fine silks the world has ever seen, The Fun Pants. Though many believed it to be a mere fairy tale told to children with sad pants, i knew, i knew deep in my heart that the legend was true and after many years traveling across Eastern Funpansia i discovered them hidden just past the green belt of Slack Hills under a small pocket of sand. From that day on i became know as The Lord of Fun Pants , Lord Fun Pants for short.

that and when we were testing out to see if making accounts actually worked i randomly threw the name on and didn't realize that it would end up being our official names.

The bell on the Pyra has SCRUM written on it. That's kind of an Easter egg, I guess?

thats actually an "inside joke" sort of cameo more then anything. long story short, we always have "scrum" style meetings every morning and we use to ring a lamp as a bell , among various other objects. sometime last year i ended up going through a bit of personal hell, and muse supported me through it like a family , and so i payed them back with this as a thank you. lenz ended up throwing it  on the ship by the time i got back to work  much to my amusement *heart warming story*

« on: September 06, 2013, 11:43:39 am »

Seeing as how the patch is 10 days away, and the gun hasn't even been put on the dev app for testing, its highly unlikely. Also, funpants has already said it'll be another month.

just to correct ya there  i didn't say it'll be another month i did how ever imply that i will probably be working on more guns for another month assuming plans dont change! i'm routing for the gun to go in myself this patch. mind you for those concerned with it not being in dev app, alot of folks were busy this last week or so with pax, so there is that.

What's with that reticle on the right picture? Certainly never seen that before.

funny you mention that because i was talking with one of the programmers earlier about how "i always try to take pictures while cropping off new features/additions/what ever because i know the fans will likely pick up on every last detail and speculate"  and with that case i'd have to put up the typical DISCLAIMER! work in progress

honestly though, with these last pictures the only thing i can assure is final in them is the model/textures themselves, anything else is stuff i didn't personally work on so as i always put, i dont comment or tease about stuff i didn't work on. and most of the time working in the test build means a billion test things are going on at the same time, actually kind fun. *more disclaimers*

Viable or not I'd realy appreciate something cause it's realy getting boring to run the same old weapons everytime on these ships and you can't even use all 4 of them with the same effectivenes..

yea, i believe in general the current wave of guns are all designed to add some variety to things all around, and considering small guns can fit on any ship they get a bit of priority. with that said i'm sure we'll eventually get to new medium gun sooner or later ( i want some to be honest >>). . though assuming the plan i was told about some time ago doesn't change after this coming patch,. . . you'll probably hate me for another month >>;;;;;;;

you know, some time ago one of the programmers here was setting up tutorials, and i figure with it being new at the time and knowing nothing about it (hey,  i was stuck in artist land faarr away from designer land) i gave it a shot. . i did the pilot tutorial and it was like "fly to this spot" and i flew to this spot. . and then my mind was blown, . OOOH MAAHH GAWD THIS IS A CHECK POINT SYSTEM. . . so i went up to said programmer and was like. . . thats a check point system you just made. . . and he nodded. you can add more check points to this and make players follow a path. . and he nodded. .  . with some time and some resources . . and he nodded. . . 

sadly time and resources is the actual hard part in the whole thing. (considering even my hopes were raised but a billion and one things are happening, and they all got higher priority then me trying to push squid racing ^^;) , hey who knows maybe i could convince someone to make it into a adventure mode quest of some kind, squid racing tournaments to gain prestige of some kind for your faction. though like i've said earlier, i always picture having various ships with courses based on there abilities, . . who knows, pyramidion drag races?  Mobula surfing the floor of canyons races? Galleon umm. . nevermind about galleon. . .
