Troubles with the forum! Apparently the forums weren't working correctly, and have been fixed. So everything should be in order.

Ok, it took a long time, but it's done. The new timing system is in, and we are now back on track... just a little behind schedule... REALLY behind schedule, but you know what they say, slow and steady gets the job done. One day Black Sky will be complete. Hopefully I will be able to release a public build before 2010, cause then we only have 2 years left, ah jk.

I made some changes to some of the links on the website, so you might need to update bookmarks.

I added the rss feed to Feed Burner, this way I can see how many subscribers we currently have.
So delete your current Black Sky rss feed subscribe again.

Time for an update. I'm mostly posting this because Ramification found this really cool indie game called Star Fight VI. It's pretty much the closest game to Black Sky I have seen, and what is cool that it is an indie game, and so far it's pretty damn fun! The graphics are outdated, but still pretty good.

The website is for Star Fight VI is http://www.jpproduction.fi/games/sf6/

You will also want to apply the patches after you install the game. It can be difficult to get into at first, but keep at it and read the forums for hints.

Black Sky has had some delays with the 1.5 release. I decided to make some optimizations and re-write the timer system that the entire game/engine was using. This new method is much better than what I was using, and should give smoother gameplay, and it should only use about 50% of your cpu, unless your in a big battle or have a slower computer.

I was also able to squeeze out more FPS from the renderer as well.

Here is an early screen shot of the unfinished space dock! I'm attempting to finish it tonight, but I don't know if I will make it. But if I don't, it should be done tomorrow. If everything keeps on track, Black Sky 1.5 will be released in a few weeks.
