Codename: Airbags

  (o ur neat new typeface!) Ahoy all!     Been a spell since I had the time to come back up for a post. Between art, coordinating the team, and restarting my bilge puzzle I`ve been busy. Quick updates: We`re up to five on the team, all of us pursuing the dream that is remaking a game we`ve all loved. We`re making good progress on the basics; gunning, carpentry, bilge and sword-fighting are all underway. As you can see above we have decided on a typeface we`ll be using for titles etc. I hope to make some art with it for all those lovely reinforced messages like:  Okay, that last one isn`t in YPP, but I`ll be damned if is not going to feature in ours!     Me myself I`ve restarted my bilge project. Already I`m 1/3 the way through the tutorials and a lot of it I can straight up skip. Its been worth it as decoding my first try would have taken many more months of time and wouldn`t have been as good. I`m also laying the foundations for the UI elements, sounds, mu...

The world of Airbags will be one of floating islands, seas of clouds and flying creatures. Skywhales and Storm-Krackens. Nevermind all the fly-crabs! Islands are suspended by a force generated from blue/white crystals known as Shards. Here I`ll lay out how shards work and how they`ll impact players lives.  * Shards are the basis of all practical flight. Lighter than air gasses are hard to come by, and engines powerful enough for aircraft are unheard of (currently). A shard is a crystal of varying size, it generates an ability to resist and rise against gravity. More importantly it also creates a field to do this with all materials in a certain radius, the radius increasing with the size of ...
