I always like the Dark Angels.  Probably this is because of the William King story in the Deathwing expansion for the Space Hulk game... the rest of the fluff for the chapter kind of has them as a bunch of pouty whiners.

The UI update is moving along.

Just now the Chapter Creation screens were finished, and as a teaser I converted the thing into a demo.  They remain to be plugged into the main project file but it gives a good idea of the direction the new UI is taking.  And the in-game UI looks even better than what is presented, IMO.

Note that it is currently missing audio and premade chapters.  The Escape key also closes it, until the addition of a 'return-to-main-menu' button.

Looks sweet, my good man. I hope you'll create an option for changing font size, though. I can barely read it on my screen.

Is it too small for you?

Very much so.

It's definitely a matter of age, you see. I just hope it's the age of my laptop translating to a tiny screen  and low resolution, and not the age of me eyes.

Just you wait. A few years more and your screen will shrink too.

Loving it. At 1920x1080 it looks fine to me, the right size I'd say. If the whole game has that aesthetic, I'll be very pleased. Were you thinking about redoing the star map too?

The rest of the game has a similar aesthetic.  Amusingly enough the star map looks fine as is, with everything else updated, so it's pretty much the only thing that I'm keeping.

Looking good! Wouldn't say the font size is too small, but the font itself can make it a bit difficult to read at times. By no means a big issue though, at least in my case.

Noticed a very minor bug: in the homeworld & recruiting planet selection screen, you cannot browse homeworld right past dead world.

Well, I know what I want for Christmas :P

Any chap good enough to post a screen for us heretics that doesn't want to fiddle with a "teaser". :P


As for the font, it's near unreadable in the current version on some screen, and becomes worse at fullscreen since it seems it's only bitmap scaling.

Wow, that is pretty nice looking, and a definite improvement. Now I'm psyched to get my hands on the next release!
