Oh Damn, forgot about both of those things! ;D
Just joking, but I am still not satisfied with the current DEMO 4, and i require some more time before I am certain if a release. So, shall we say, tomorrow? (Note: I am working with valve times ;D)

Yeah, I'm aware it's a Friday here in Sweden since I live here too ;)

That makes the release all more worth ;)

Don't get me wrong, these ships are great, but I think they could use a little bit more contrast. I think they feel a pretty flat at the moment. If you have PS or something similar, just use the gradations curve or whatever it's called.
You will see, they get a lot of deep this way, because you have done a very good job at the shadows and lightning effects.

i will give it a few touch ups :)
they were my first sprites so depth wasnt really something i was focused on.
i have ps (,but i use paint.net  ;D) so i know how to give them more contrast.
thanks for the comment anyway.
i will also change the lighting of some parts to give them even more depth.

Guys, welcome our latest team member onboard! Thaago! He's going to help out with coding and scripting all-round, since DarkerThanBlack only (hopefully ;D) can help out on weekends. And the more the merrier!

Also, on a relevant note, DEMO 4 should be up in 2-3 hours! :D

There is no rush  :D

I've spent a few hours and have made a lot of headway into the infrastructure for the diplomacy and economics extension. I've also synced my code with the git repository. The code is not ready for demo integration tho. Probably this weekend if I find a few free hours.

I squished a few bugs in the CAELUS v4 DEV version, but there's one that's killing me.  Maybe a week at most without NetBeans, a day or two with it.
