With Project Ambigus and Project Backstep both having ended in failure, I am now looking towards the future. Project Warbirds. Take a look at the demos (1 controller and 2 controller versions) They give you a feel for whats to come with this series. The map is small and barren, but its just to give people an idea of what the project will be like. Project Warbirds Demo puts you in the pilots seat (after a quick tutorial) of the base model ER AH-160L (Eternal Rise Attack Helicopter, Light model) As either a single combatant or a pilot and gunner. The map is rudimentary, but it demonstrates the Heli's basic combat controls and allows players to get an idea of how many ways there are to kill and just what can be accomplished with the MG The helicopter will take damage from shots and from impacts. if you get red lights and a claxon, get back to base fast, or you will regret it. In the demo, your MG has unlimited ammo. Don't expect this level of ease in the full game. Ammo and health pick ups will be added at in Warbirds: Awakening. Needless to say, I will be putting a lot of work into these levels, And will be releasing new Demos as work progresses (Each chapter will have a demo first). Hopefully with this advertisement, my series will see the light of day.

Each chapter of Warbirds will see you in a new model of the AH-160, here's a heads up on whats to come. Warbirds: Awakening: AH-160S: You will have access to the lightest of the combat ready AH-160S. Equip with 3 electro-MGs, the AH-160S was only ever intended as a scout. 1-4 players will have to work as a team to take out an attacking force and eliminate their base. Remeber, Fuel cans are tempting ways to take on groups, but they will take your points from you. 100s only come for direct hits with the E-MG. Warbirds: Rescue: AH-160W: Will bring a whole new challenge to the Warbirds experience. Taking off from a ship off of the remote Sackapolo Islands, A team of 1-4 will be asked to take on a harrowing rescue mission. In the AH-160W(Workhorse) players will may gain a false sense of security. High in health, the W model packs only the main E-MG and a variable length cargo crane. Only by carrying in the relief boxes on your swinging magnetic chain, will you save the Sacapolians and earn the respect of their commanding officers. Be strong Sackboys and girls. Warbirds: Dark Moon: AH-160H: Firepower. The only way to win a night mission. The beast of the AH-160 line, the H model features Dual rocket pods and the powerful E-MG20. Rocket pods on either side of the body will make short work of their targets, while the insane rate of fire of the E-MG20 racks up the points. Can you manage your ammo, fuel and armor as you fight your way through the enemies front line base? More Coming as Episodes are completed.

That sounds epic. I like the idea of unique roles for each heli. Post a level link to LBP.me to help guide search for your level.

I pulled the demos down. 0 plays and their poor quality brought about this decision.

After 6 hours of work, the one player version of the AH-160S seems to be perfectly tuned. Damage, Ammo and Fuel are all perfectly mimicked in their GUIs. Two player version is set up as well, untested, but with so few changes from the one player I don't see any problems being likely. After I wire up the 3 and 4 player versions, the hard part will begin. I'll post a level plan soon, hopefully.

Interesting stuff. I'm working on a top-down heli series as well, something inspired by the Desert Strike/Jungle Strike games. You should post some screenshots
