I think you should find a way to implement a gauge or something for the base's status. Especially since you have that side mission to protect transports once the Saucerer starts attacking the base, it'd be nice for those players who choose to try to save the transports to have some idea if they have time to spare for that, based on their performance defending the base in the earlier phases of the mission.

[@Mac14329]

Cornerian Defense Force Journal: Katina “As the Lylat Wars progressed, more and more ground-based legions found themselves pressed into aerial combat, including the fighting forces of the CDF. For months, every hour of our downtime was spent in the simulator, preparing for the time we would face our enemies from the cockpit of a Bottlenose. Finally the day came to earn our wings. The Venomians’ new mothership had staged a daring takeover of our base on Katina, and was dispatching a swarm of Invader IIs as a distraction. With only a few veteran pilots on-planet, many of the CDF were pressed into service to drive off the apes, and buy time for the Star Fox team to rescue the outpost.”

[@benjaminheavysteel]

ok that is a little crazy

[@CommanderActaeon]

Oh cool, the rest of my voice lines as an invader wing leader! (up until just before the bombers show up) cool to see this in action! You're doing impressive work!

[@steviesanders5943]

That's u no way

[@devonm042690]

I know it's still a work in progress, but I felt the need to point this out. The Invader Pilot that speaks starting around 3:29 wasn't assigned a comm handle so it erroneously inherited the FARA handle from the then most recent comm. Also, around 8:40 there's a small typo. The text says 'show now mercy'.

[@JeroAstra]

Oh, he knows.

[@SolarFlarehorse]

Having side objectives really makes me crave a sort of Delegation option for your squadron, in which you could have one of your wingmen take on the side objective, either extending the time you have to respond to it or outright solving it entirely based on the difficulty. On top of that, it'd be really cool if whichever member you selected to take care of it would have a higher success rate depending on what the objective is. Enemy fighters need to be taken down? Send in Falco. Battle group is getting overwhelmed and could use some advanced strategy? Send in Peppy. Weird tech is in the area that needs to be blown up? Send in Slippy. Would make your squad feel more fleshed out, in a sort've Blazing Angels fashion, if anyone remembers that game.

[@simondemoulin5815]

There is a little something I'm worry about : The escort side mission while you deal with the flying saucer. I guess regular "Invader" fighters are shooting them down one by one, but the lack of proper targeting assistance might make the whole defense more difficult. Let's imagine you stop attacking the saucer, which "Invader" is really attacking the transport and which one are just here for the laser show with Husky/Bulldog/Hound units ? Maybe somekind of button with the "switch current objective" could be useful for juggling between objective without filling the entire screen with "!" targets. Except for that point in particular, it's a really good level.

[@Lumakid100]

Maybe highlight the ones going for the transport while also showing a timer for how long you have left to destroy the Saucerer.

[@joshuana5132]

I always felt Katina was one of the weaker missions from the original Star Fox 64 for being more boring than the rest. Glad it's getting an updated coat of paint. I also like how the skybox now resembles the lighting from the final battle of Independence Day better now than it did decades ago.

I like the design of the base; it looks like something useful and worth fighting over. The background radio chatter is also a nice touch; it gives the importance and status of the base a degree of authenticity. When every voice goes silent as the ship approaches, it gives a very ominous vibe, like they're all waiting for it's next move.

[@FastTquick]

This is a great mission as always. Unless I’m mistaken, I especially like the detail that there’s unintelligible comms chatter in the background while you’re fighting to defend the base. I also like how the Venomian pilots have varieties of pilot armor depending on what type of craft they’re flying. I’ve always imagined the enlisted Venomian forces should have an Imperial Stormtrooper look to them. Can’t wait to see the rest of the levels.

[@XLentGamingNetwork]

3:29 Dialogue bug here? Shows the Venom pilot as Fara.

[@Kashakunaki]

Katina was always one of my favorite levels. I love what you've done with it, particularly the chaos and constant chatter both foreground and background. I like the multiple objectives as well. Great job!

[@marrqi7wini54]

I think it's because like Comona (And Showdown in PW), the original Katina mission has a bunch of allied and enemy pilots going at it. A massive furball. Literally it Star Fox's case because they all have fur.

[@Kenzo20000]

Oh wow! Seeing shots being fired everywhere and in all direction really makes this battle really intense and gets me pumped! You do an amazing job making the battles look like a warfare with all these shots being fired everywhere. It really makes it very flashy and stylish!

[@A88mph]

I like this take on the "Independence Day" mission. Kind of wish you could tell your wingmen to guard the transports though.

[@gunstrokethecybertronian8659]

If only, few games ever get that far at least that I know of anyway. Last I recall something like this is Star Wars Jedi Starfighter when you could assign your squad mates to attack enemy targets, or defend allies as well as items from enemy fighters mostly. As well as requesting air cover for your own hide when you make your run with either your force powers as Adi Gallia, or Nym with the heavy ordinance he has. And of course, checking the status of your allies.

[@LuizCesarBRAZIL]

Wow, how have I never heard of your project before? Finally justice to Star Fox's potential! It was really cool to see that there are other squadrons fighting with you, just top notch work! The only thing that could be better is the IFF. Once combat begins, it's hard to distinguish between allies and enemies amidst the chaos. I know they're just there for "figuration" and the light show, but I think having a better IFF would greatly enhance the immersion.

3:30 Uh, Fara? Did we do something to piss you off? Seriously, though. I do have a question about something that occurred to me the other day. Are you going to implement a similar branching path system to the levels based on the other Star Fox games? It's going to be a bit odd having a multiple-route first act, followed by a linear second and third (if you're covering Assault) act. Is there any way you can set an option to somehow just link all of the levels in the SF64 portion linearly, just so they all match?

Lastly, anyone here trying to use a flight stick but it only detects the buttons and not the stick movements? Aside from that, amazing as always.
