@Exception_e : thanks, I’m glad you like it 
I’m a bit surprised, I checked the specs of the video card and it’s almost the same as one I’m testing on ( radeon 4550 ) 
Can you please give more details on what happens ? You can’t run the game at all ? ( not even the menu ?) Do you have an error message ? Can you check your home folder in .shoot/0.1.4/daedalus.log to see if there is an exception ?
Thanks !
I have played with the bots for a while. What I can say is that This game is awesome! very polished, good graphic, and addictive indeed I will definitely give it a 9/10.
The only downside is that it requires a real graphic card to play. The computer i have at work is equipped with a radeon 3450, it failed to run the game even though it has an i7 for CPU.

Nothing happened at all when I clicked daedalus.exe. You can find the exception message below. However it works like a charm on my home pc which has a GTX580.

Ok, It turned out to be a opengl driver issue. After I have installed the latest ati driver from AMD, the game runs flawlessly ;D

thanks wreed12345, I’m glad you like it 
Here’s a small update: I implemented a greyscale fog of war with a cool smooth transition between the fog of war and the visible map:

That looks even more lovely now!

So freakin awesome!
Very cool gameplay, Im gonna search my Steam acc and vote yes 
But 1 question…
Will you please make an option (by controls or so) that when you play classic mode (with the other mode I get headaches) you can set off/on the moving screen while rotating… (Its really annoying, gives me more headaches and Im better without)
Isn’t it called dynamic screen in official terms?
Thanks for this great experience!
And I hope you will become a millionaire with this, so you can keep making games forever!
And last but not least, the graphics are stunning!

@princec: thanks, I think it’s getting real close to the awesomeness of droid assault now
@Herjan: I have no idea about an official name but I think I understand what you mean … and in fact I already implemented it some time ago ( it’s just not included in 0.2.1 ). It’s another control mode ( so 3 in total ) based on the classic one except that the player is always centered in the screen. Is it what you mean ?
Upvoted on Steam. :point:
This is an amazing game.
I can’t believe I haven’t tried it before now.
This game gets so much better every update! This was one of the first projects that I saw on this site and I am so happy that you continued to work on it. In fact, you were one of the big motivations in my early development when you said you had only started OpenGL a couple months prior! Thanks for the wonderful game.
