In this first update on the build progress for my reimaging of Planet’s Edge, I’m showing some of the layout work I’ve done on “First Contact” — the first planetside scenario that players encounter in the game. I also show off the rudimentary beginnings of the dialogue and character selection systems.

This one will be free for all users, but for future progress videos, I’ll probably be restricting them to the folks paying to follow the blog.

Hope you enjoy this sneak peek.

(CORRECTION: I mentioned that I’d modeled everything in the demo myself, but the android you encounter is the default “Manny” from Unreal.
