Scott Host: DemonStar - Raptor Call of the Shadows
Setup a computer at my mom's house to help her w/ her medical issues a few days a week. As many know, I've been working on a huge remaster for Raptor, and now I'm working in my old bedroom where I started the original Raptor. It's crazy how things like this work out.

Made a tool in Unity3D so
@Thunder_Mare
can test the 3d models to get idea what it will look like in final Raptor game which is a custom engine. My engine can have 1000's of real time lights that affect volumetric fog and its fast.

But it’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet, or his enemy’s? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for

The Director of the upcoming film 'BlackBerry,' Matt Johnson, reached out & asked if they could use sound & music from RAPTOR: Call of The Shadows in a scene. Specifically, Bravo Sector.
They are fans of Raptor!

After I made Galactix(1992) Westwood Studios called me to try to hire me. They offered really low pay and I asked if I would have input to the games I would work on. They said "programmers are not generally creative"
I said "I'm not interested" (thinking assholes)

Ported DemonStar v5.0 to SDL 2 in 6 days and project also runs DemonStar SM1 and SM2. Will get all 3 on Steam and GOG to help promote and fund Raptor REMIXED!
Works with Game Controllers now! Just a few things left to do like looping sounds and basic options.

After Raptor me and Matt(guy who did Raptor music). Started on Mantra an RPG with a software 3d engine I made. Long story short EA bought the company we where in talks with for funding and destroyed them which killed Mantra. It had at least 2 years of work left.

Just messing with original Raptor hanger song a little.
WIP
Just doing this for shits n giggles because I keep hearing from people how much they liked this song. To me it was just something I shabbed together so I thought I would fix it up.

In early 90's ID software flew us down to Texas. John Romero drove us around in his Yellow Truck. The back seat bench was not bolted down so he kept pressing on the brakes and flooring the gas which made me fall forward then backwards. He was laughing like Satan lol.

Thinking of making one tier of the Kickstarter rewards a signed DOS Raptor box but only have a few. Other possible ideas are a custom Raptor flight jacket and a Metal Box with game and trinkets inside.
Need to get more pre-subs so its sure to work.

RIP Mr Iguana.
I don't know what the fuck happened. It was swimming in bath tub as it has been its whole life. I heard a cough / sneeze sound like when it gets water in its nose. I go in bathroom and pic it up and its shaking then stopped breathing. I tried compressing its chest

DemonStar v1.02 is up on Steam.
1) Fixed bug with Chinese Keyboard
2) Second player uses numpad now
3) Fix bug where some enemies had too many HP
4) Z works to shoot and X for mega like Raiden has
I am torn between big pixels on the 640x360 side vs smaller pixels on the 1280x720 side. 640x360 has some really bad flickering.
When its full screen you can still see pixels at 1280x720 but it looks so damn good
