Hey everyone!

Some update info on Barnstormer: 1920. Something that is, of course, really needed in a flight ( simulator ) game: clouds. After some research on clouds and their appearences, I ( Jesper ) have developed a way of creating realistic cumulus and stratus clouds, which in combination look like the clouds used in Microsoft Flight Simulator X: A Century of Flight.

I will not descibe the way of how to create those clouds in detail here. Maybe in the future, when the game is finished, we can release something about the system we created for it.

So, I started on coding the clouds system. After several hours of work, I had something done. It wasn't good for the fps, but it looked awesome in my opinion.

Then, we had to import the system into the game. That was, unexpected, a pretty hard job. We had to deal with some very annoying alpha issues which were hard to solve.

But it turned out to an overall very realistic look, and to something that has, to my knowledge, never been done in Game Maker in 3D: Realistic dense clouds.

Also, a new member of Tgg Teams, Undead, has added joystick support to the game.

I hope that you will all download the next version of Barnstormer: 1920, and thanks for reading this blog!

Kind regards,

Tgg Team A
