This is the best gaming news I heard since I played Freelancer, the great Chris Roberts (creator of the best space sim ever made for PC: Wing Commander series & Freelancer) is back to create Star Citizen an amazing looking new space sim, but he need your help to fund it (yes, it is crowdfunded). Go watch his presentation here.
I pledged 25€ without hesitation! So don't wait to pledge even the smallest amount of $10, it will help to get the best game possible!
Here is the full trailer, it rocks, it will be difficult to wait until 2014 to play it (so pledge $30/25€ or more to get Alpha/Beta access!):
Long time no news!
I was very busy with our new born baby, he came 1 month and a half earlier than expected and it was very time consuming to go to the hospital neonatal care 2 or 3 times a day. He is now out and everybody is fine.
Now on the development front I did nothing (I bought and played a lot of games) since last release. I finally did what I was thinking of since a year or so: I bought a licence for Delphi XE2 Starter which is the most modern version of Delphi (I was using Delphi 7 Personal [which is the last free non-cripled version of Delphi], that's 9 major versions!) and it includes a 64bit compiler and Mac OSX/iOS support. I tried importing Dragon UnPACKer source into XE2, it works (sort of) after fixing some stuff. But it will still need work to get it perfectly ironed out. The bad news is that future version will most likely don't compile in Delphi 7 anymore. But that compiler is really too outdated to be used in current OSes and Lazarus/FPC while a pretty good alternative is just too much work to port Dragon UnPACKer to it.
The other thing I will be working on is another request from Paul regarding Ghostbusters texture convertion which I would like to implement. Dunno when that will be ready neither...

I have been working quietly and intermittently on Dragon UnPACKer. Mainly bug fixes and a new conversion plugin to use external programs for convertions.
I recently fixed a big bug on HyperRipper (broken Ogg and TGA support) so I am planning on releasing v5.6.2 this weekend.
If I finally motivate myself to finish the configuration interface of that new conversion plugin it will be included with the upcoming v5.6.2. If not it will be delayed for a further version. For those wanting to test it, it is available in the nightly builds.
