First off, amazing work, you obviously have a talented team. I’d love to hear more about how in the world you got normal mapping and specularity working in-engine, but I imagine it was no small feat.
I was just recently thinking about how exciting it would be to update Freelancer with a new engine, but it looks as though you’re team chose a much better idea. Just build it into the already existing one.
I’d like to talk with you more and learn more about what you’re up to. I’ll be sending you a PM shortly.
