    How does it compare to the 2006 PC remake?

    Hey guys. No, definately not dead. We're just backlogged by "real life issues" (tm) and need to postpone the game a slight bit. But still - summer 2009 is still set - just a bit later than we planned.

    Pad 1 please! ;-)

    Yeah, me too! ;) Can we see a gameplay video yet? Please? haha

    Seriously I had no idea what Space Taxi was until I saw this board but now I want it. :) I really want to see how you guys are handling the control scheme too.

    We've been heavily backlogged and so far it looks more like late summer (summer even not really started here in germany) ;-)
    Plan is to offer multiple input schemes; one is to have a joystick knob on screen which you can move. That is the current input scheme.

    Have you guys considered a 3rd person view please?

    Well, it is already 3rd person view. You're looking from a distance on the taxi cab and control it. Was it that what you mean?

    Well, what I mean is, is it a side view or is there also a view from behind the taxi?

    Ah got it. It's more a sideview. A rear camera would not be possible as the scene setup doesn't allow that. I attach here a screenshot which shows how the game goes. Top view is the "editor" view and the lower view shows the actual game. If you would there have a rear / chase cam you would be able see the outside of the world.

    Awesome look rework. For those who have no idea what is the game about, take it as a Crazy Taxi+Moon Lander together in one.

    Unfortunately no news yet. I think we should poke Thomas (the artist) a bit to get the game further. :)
