Very difficult to take a photo of, but a lot of the noise in this photo that looks like the sort of artifacting you typically see when photographing a monitor, but it's really there. It's not an artifact of the photo.

I'm starting to think all that dithering might have burned into my monitor, because there's a weird, almost cloth-like noise pattern that appears on the monitor. It seems to be concentrated in the top left quarter of the screen, which aligns with where the game window is in the Unity Editor.

It's not just wheeled vehicles anymore.

![Wikipedia spoof article on Carcinisation titled, "Warthogisation"
Warthogisation (American English: Warthogization) is a form of convergent evolution in which non-Warthog ground vehicles evolve a Warthog-like physics and controls. The term was introduced into vehicle physics programming by Lancelot Alexander Borradaile, who described it in 1916 as "the many attempts of Designers to create fun off-road trucks".[2]
The thumbnail to the right is of the Warthog jumping off a cliff with the caption: M12 LRV "Warthog" from the the 2001 video game Halo: Combat Evolved. Despite the moniker, it bears some resemblance to a puma.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vlxofaoav5oaacdtqhk5coco/bafkreibedaofyaykdk543ifknu6dbkcjdizq37hf6q5qv25kklfe74zshm@jpeg)
Damn I really did pick the worst possible time to think about upgrading my computer.

The thing I look forward to the every daylight savings time change, is fixing this clock in the car. This clock is only a clock. It is so laser focused on being a clock, that the only thing its 3 buttons do is adjust the displayed time.

I never got around to posting this from a couple weeks back, but I made this after getting frustrated at Rogue Squadron's controls being really, really bad. There's no juice here. It's very barebones. It's just meant to be as close to RS3D's controls as possible, but good instead.

Incoming's HUD vs Rogue Squadron 3D's. I'm kind of amazed at how RS gets away with almost nothing on it, but because of the mission design and copious voice overs it works completely fine. The total lack of target markers feels surprising, but it keeps the player shooting at things, not icons.

I'm not normally a merch person, but I loved this game (and its art) so much I had to do it.
Play @hcnone.bsky.social's Endless Monday it's really good!

This one isn't out yet, but keep an eye on Impact Storm as well. I guess almost all these games ended up being helicopter games, but that's just the genre as it is right now 🤷♀️

Just going to say to also check these out:
Nuclear Option (Very similar to the Novalogic games)
Thunder Helix (Super detailed "as you remember it" recreation of early DOS sims)
Hijong Park's Defender Patrol (Semi-realistic scout helicopter game)
Helicopter Gunship DEX (Modern take on Gunship 2000)

I just noticed Rogue Leader stretches the laser until it's the correct length instead of just spawning a full length laser.

The Harrier in this level shoots red Star Wars lasers from what look like rocket pods. The funny thing too is that the weapons change every level. A tank fired this red laser in an earlier level. In a later level the Harrier fires (auto-aimed!) bullets that turrets use.

Why do I have no problem accepting a Comanche shooting rapid fire purple lasers but if I were to make this myself there's now way I could make it shoot anything other than bullets with yellow/orange tracers 😭

It's pretty unique! It's actually not just a Pelican game, but sometimes it's a Warthog game too. I never beat it (though I think I got near the end?) but it's definitely worth checking out.

Now with all that out of my system, I don't have to talk about the Halo Remake anymore. Go play Incoming or Rogue Squadron 3D they're really fun vehicular arcade action.
