looking awesome man! wish it had 3 wheels tho

[zaphod]

if we wouldn't have to re-arrange a lot of the vehicle code it would have 3 wheels . . . maybe in the future!

just finished modeling and texturing a new character, now comes the terribly fun part of rigging him to a (lol) skeleton

[Bic-B@ll]

awesome, i love how hes made of cartoony bone shapes does his head not match his bone color or is that just the lighting? Can you change the eye color?

[zaphod]

yea, it looks like his head is a little lighter. I think that might be fixed now that he is all desaturated and using color masks for customization. His bone color and eye color is customizable.

[Bic-B@ll]

changing bone color could get kinda....dumb, but i guess theres only one way to find out

[hessi]

regarding customization: why didnt you give him a headband to change colors? green bones might look a little weird

[zaphod]

are you doubting the awesomeness of a hot-pink skeleton? Also, you have to be resigned to lots of people picking very dumb looking color combinations once you decided to have customization.

we had our first full test over the internet last night, it was a bit of a whirlwind trying to get everyone set up and working but it went pretty well. Here is a blog post Brian wrote about it:

as you can read in the post, we are looking for some kind of dedicated server to rent with decent bandwidth so we can test with more that a few people, if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Also, we were using our Zero Gear Steam group to co-ordinate during the test, even if we aren't on steam YET, anyone is free to join our group to show your support of getting us on Steam eventually! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/zerogear

Also, I did a new accessory and hat this week!

[Bic-B@ll]

picking colors of clothes etc is different from picking the color of the entire skeleton, but you're right. those new accessories are tits

I smile everytime i check this topic.

spent today setting up some forums for the game, hopefully it will help us form a tighter community around the game as we get further along with development!

that doesn't mean you can stop posting updates here!

[zaphod]

of course not I will still make my regular forum rounds!

Today I was working on a design for an icon for the game executable, this is much larger version of the design but I think it scales down pretty well
