I was hoping to show some of the new FortressCraft : Chapter 1 work that's been going on, but, sadly, the maths have been more complicated than I'd first anticipated, so I'm unable to show it - assuming my brain figures out what needs to be done, I should be showing the new FortressCraft : Chapter 1 changes within a week!

In the meantime, here's some of the weapon effects that are available in FC2D; each weapon graphic effect is tied to a weapon physical effect. So, for instance, the smoke-and-flames are tied to the explosive/splash damage effect, the railgun graphics are proc'd when the bullets are of a certain velocity, etc.

This is about 20% of the final count of weapon effect graphics, but I thought here would be a good place to break and spend 20 mins uploading a snapshot video.

These should go live Sunday evening, with a little luck; I need to get the PLACEHOLDER skill icons removed before I can legally upload a build (The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that the current skill icons are mostly lifted from Warcraft - I needed something that looked half-decent for placeholder!)

Work is progressing quickly on the gameplay side of FortressCraft2D now, and there's extensive customisation and upgrade options already implemented.

The next patch will allow players to switch on the networking, but this isn't likely to be in a playable, complete state for a few weeks yet!
