Weekly Friday Update release of Version 0.4.080621

Though it may seem small, this weeks update sees a host of optimizations to artwork and other changes that were quite involved from a programming standpoint. Chief among them is the artwork for buildings and settlements. These new assets have been streamlined for rendering by combining appropriate meshes and implementing LODs. They are also much more detailed than the previous settlement buildings but are still using the same kit-bash as everything else. We've also added refractions and a new normal map to the cockpit glass. The new map is for now a preview, as we'll be implementing a new system for cockpit glass that will handle everything from dents and scratches, to rain moving across the windscreen. - Added 10 new building types that have been completely integrated with LODs and a unified renderer. - New cockpit glass and artwork. Refractions added to some glass objects. - Tweaked enemy starfighter accuracy to reduce their near perfect aim. - Tweaked performance parameters for all starfighters reduce their performance profiles to make them harder to fly and slightly more unique in how they fly.

Pirates of Frontier's Reach is an arcade flight combat game set in the Frontier's Reach Universe. A universe where humanity has taken it's first steps into the stars and begun to establish colonies across hundreds of worlds from the most habitable to the most hostile. Players will assume the role of a fighter pilot serving in the privateer fleet of the Republic of the Frontier Worlds where human's from every culture and tongue have come to seek opportunity and an escape from the overbearing authority of the Sol Confederacy of Planets.

The Gameplay of Pirates of Frontier's Reach will see the player skip the long trips between locations and drop right into the action. Taking on Sorties players can test their loadouts against a swarm of enemies of a single type. While on Patrols players can pilot their starfighter around areas filled with obstacles and secrets where barnstorming will be the only way to get the prize. And Campaign missions will keep the story moving forward and unlock new and interesting starfighters and weapons for the player to use.

The Starfighters of Frontier's Reach are old and rugged but more than a fit for the jobs they fill out in the frontier worlds.

Pilots Serving in the Privateer Fleet will have the ability to fit different weapon systems to their starfighters to meet the needs of each mission they take on.

Outfit Your Starfighter and tweak performance parameters within various ranges to achieve the desired performance you want out of a starfighter.

Fly From the Cockpit or Third Person Perspective and experience a difference in both the game difficulty and immersive value. The choice is yours!

The Future of Pirates of Frontier's Reach is one in which I will use the automation tools I've crafted over the past few months and plan to refine in order to deliver weekly story driven content for the community to engage with.

The Multiplayer of Pirates of Frontier's Reach is currently not being planned at all but the future is a crazy place so things may change.
