Volcano goes Boom

Hello, everyone! Aprils' off to a great start this year... and we have the next Sauria level to show for it: the Volcano Force Point Temple! Events are nearing their climax in this level, and by the looks of it the Sauria campaign will be finished sometime this summer! Enjoy this level; there's quite a few experimental features in it!

Damage Report!

Hello there, everyone! Today I have a relatively small announcement, although it will in the end have a very large visual impact on Star Fox Event Horizon. I present to you... visual battle damage!


As the video and screenshot above demonstrates, all ships will now progressively display more visual damage to their hulls as they get beaten up in battle. Ships will go from pristine, to missing some ...

Cloudrunner Fortress Testrun

Hey there everyone! Another month... another level complete! Ok well this time it was slightly longer than a month, but in my defense February is short a few days... Anyways, here's the Cloudrunner Fortress level! The finish line for Sauria is so close!

A behind the scenes look at making Star Fox

Hey there, Patrons! Today I did something a little bit different from the normal and did a livestream with me working on the Cloudrunner Fortress level. In this stream you get a peek at how I actually make these levels! Let me know if you enjoyed this type of livestream and if you would be interested in seeing more of them for later levels!

A Surprise Call from Shears

Hello Patrons! I hope February has been kind to you all!

Today I'm dropping a little surprise cutscene that was in the works. It technically takes place just before the Walled City level (or Cloudrunner Fortress on the alternate path). I hope you all enjoy this little excerpt with Colonel Shears!

Once More Unto the Breach!

At long last, the Walled City level is done ready for its testun! I suspect this will be the best, or at least one of the best levels in the entire game and I'm not sure how I am going to top it. Check it out for yourself in the video above though! With that done though, we are seriously so close to wrapping up the entire Saruia Crisis. The finish line is just around the corner!

Context is Krystal

Hello there everyone! We're approaching the end of January and the Walled City level is nearly complete! I estimate it will be finished sometime in the next week before we transition into February, but just to be safe I'll say it will be done in early Feburary. Just in case though, as a little bonus... here's a host of contextual lines as well as random lines Krystal might say in the middle of any level, courtesy of Estelle Ellis!

Back in action

Happy New years everyone! Ok... I'm a pair of days late with that sentiment but it still stands! With the new year comes an end to a nice Christmas break and diving back into Sauria. As mentioned before, there are just a small handful of levels left for this arc to conclude! The finish line is in sight and these last few levels are going to be some of the craziest ones made yet. Stay tuned for some sneak peeks at the Walled City in the coming weeks.

A Merry Saurian Christmas

Seasons greetings Patrons! I hope everyone is doing well this winter holiday season and I hope Santa brings you all some wonderful presents! I put together this little Christmas gift for all of you, the fully voiced first level of the Saruia Campaign! One week from now I'll be returning from my little vacation and we'll be making a dash to the finish line with the Sauria levels. There's just a tiny handful left to go!

Into the Darkice Mines

Happy December, Patrons! Today I've got the Darkice Mines level finished and test-runned for all of your enjoyment! I'm really thrilled I managed to get this (mostly) snow themed level done in time for the holidays. With this level complete, we are very near finishing the Sauria Campaign! Just several levels to go and we'll release all of the Sauria levels for you guys to play.

As a small aside, I am going to be taking a small break for the rest of December for the holidays, so the nex...

Ok, I'll sell it to you!

Hello everyone! I've got several new features I want to show you all today. Rather than bore you with a wall of text, I went ahead and put together a video for you all. You are all in for a treat with an interactive Great Fox bridge!

Diamond Bay Away

Hello everyone, I hope you all had an awesome Halloween!

I'm happy to share the Testrun of Diamond Bay at the dawn of November! It's currently one of my favorite levels, but I might just be a sucked for beaches! We're getting pretty close to the end of the Sauria campaign, with just a small handful of levels left to do! Stay tuned for the next Saurian level, which I'm pretty sure actually will be my favorite of the bunch!

You Pay This Much!

Hello everyone! While the image I've posted above is bare bones and an early work in progress, I can now officially say that Ship and Weapon shops will now be a feature in Star Fox Event Horizon! This is a feature I've wanted in the game for ages, but never really had the time to focus on. Recently the people working on SCPUI added the means to have shops into the engine, so naturally I could not resist. Now the money players earn from General Pepper can be used to buy various ships, weapons,...

Andross Recruits Star Wolf

Hello there everyone! This little cinematic of Star Wolf getting hired by Andross is now complete! While all of you Patrons have already seen most of the cinematic in its entirety, here it is now complete with all the sounds!

Recruiting Wolf Progress

Hello there, Patrons! Earlier today I posted a shorted segment of this little cinematic on twitter. Here now, exclusive to all of you is the full rendered conversation of Andross hiring Wolf! There's still some tweaking to be done, not to mention the segment before the conversation, so it's not 100% complete yet.

A little Wolf and Andross progress

Just a little WIP of Andross hiring Wolf prior to the Fichina mission. There's quite a bit in the pipeline at the moment other than this cinematic.... something something Sector X.... something something voices.

A slight delay, also some Andross.

Hello there, Patrons! I am posting here to just inform you all there will be a slight delay before the next Sauria level is finished. One of my resources for recreating the levels, the Dinosaur Planet Wiki's 3d level viewer, had gone down in a ransomware attack several weeks ago and is currently in the process of being restored. I have instead decided to work on a few other things during that process, in particular some of the cinematics for the Lylat Wars. Here's a tiny clip of one I'm work...

Twilight Marshes Testrun

The next level of Event Horizon is ready, this time the Twilight Marshes! To my knowledge, this area was cut from Dinosaur Planet early in development and was never even modeled, we don't even really have a visual description of it other than it's location near the Walled City. I had a lot of fun trying to make an area based on the just the name Twilight Marshes! Check out the level here: Star Fox Event Horizon - ...

Moon Mountain Pass Testrun

This one took waaaaaaaay too long to finish, but at long last here's a testrun of Moon Mountain Pass! I think I scored the highest kill count ever in this particular testrun.... wow. Check out the level here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubQJTnvk4NQ&ab_channel=IceCreamMan

Official Krystelle Plushie is now available!

Hey there, Patrons! A few months ago Estelle and I set out to start making official Krystal related merch. Our first idea was to make a cute little Plushie, which was successfully supported several months ago. Now Makeshift has finished the plushie and it's ready for sale! If you are at all interested in getting this cute little plushie, they are available at Makeship here: Krystelle ...

For those of you that missed the campaign, the Krystelle Plushie will be available again sometime in August, you can follow the page here to notify you when it's on the market again: Kry...

A Little Detour into the Far Future

Hello all yee Patrons! Just a little side announcement, today Estelle and I have officially announced the existence of our not-so-secret project that we are working on after Star Fox Event Horizon is complete! We spent nearly a year getting this video together in the background to showcase the look, feel, and mood of the game we're going to make and we're thrilled to finally show it... check it all out in the video above! Y'all probably won't see much more of this project until Event Horizon ...

Blackwater Canyon is ready to go!

Another month, another level done! Today we have Blackwater Canyon to show, a really cool spooky level loaded with undead dinosaurs! This mysterious locale from the original Dinosaur Planet was cut in the transition to becoming Star Fox, so it's wonderful to see something of it after almost 25 years! Check it out here: Star Fox Event Horizon - Blackwater Canyon Testrun (2024-06-28 19:51:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Thorntail Hollow Soundtrack

Y'all asked for it, the music from the Thorntail Hollow level of Event Horizon, composed by Ben Schrueder based on "Early Thorntail Hollow Day" by David Wise. It's now conveniently on youtube for your listening pleasure!

Thorntail Hollow is ready to go!

Hello there Patrons! At long last the Thorntail Hollow level is ready to show! For a lot of people it's one of the most memorable and important locations from Star Fox Adventures, and bringing it to life in Event Horizon was quite a challenge! Check it out here: Star Fox Event Horizon - Thorntail Hollow Testrun (youtube.com2024-05-31 22:36:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Krystelle Plushie is a go!

We did it! The Krystelle Plushie reached 100% funded and will now be made by Makeship! I just want to thank all of you on here who were supportive and wanted to get one of these, Estelle is ecstatic as well! Once we get the prototype we'll show it asap, otherwise it's looking like they will start shipping out in August! If you'd like to get your own check out the Makeship page, you all still have to August to get one before the run is done: 2024-05-30 19:49:44 +0000 UTC View Post

Sneak Peek of Blackwater Canyon

Hey there Patrons! Today I've got a little demo video of the Blackwater Canyon level to show. This level has by far been the most difficult to implement into the game, but it's quickly turning out to be the coolest level! On a related note, composer Ben Schreuder has just finished the music for the Thorntail Hollow level, so you'll all get to finally see that level sometime in the next few days, so stay tuned for that!

It's Plush time!

Hello there Patrons!

Today Estelle and I are super thrilled to announce that the first limited edition Krystelle Plushie petition on Makeship is ready to launch! This will be the first official Plushie brought to you by Estelle herself, the voice of Krystal! We need only 200 people to put down an investment of $2 dollars and then Makeship will make the plushie official! Makeship also permits up to a 15% Discount, which will be handing out a discount code to High Tier&n...

Our Not So Secret Original Project

Hey there, Patrons!

Today I'd like to briefly talk about something slightly different than Star Fox. When Estelle and I both went into working on Star Fox Event Horizon, we both had a contingent plan just in case the forces-that-be decided to clamp down on Star Fox. This plan was to replace the characters with slightly different ones to avoid any legal issues: in essence turn Star Fox into a brand new original IP. After working with Estelle for nearly two years, we eventually thought to...

Holy Mushgus, McCloud!

I just wanted to leave a little update on here, in case any of the Patrons here do not keep tabs on Discord or Twitter and have not seen the updates over the last several weeks. The Thorntail Hollow level is pretty much done, I'm just waiting on the music to be finished up and a small but important update to the engine to be rolled out. Check out a little preview above!
