Gearhead has plodded along to a new version, which can be downloaded here. There are now two sets of graphics files to go with it, normal sized and reduced size for those with older machines, I guess. Here's a list of the changes:
New graphics. Several mecha by Omega, several people by me. Plus there's now a hot dog cart.
New adventures and items. Want to learn more about GARU serum? Now your PC can have some!
Can now use enter key when attacking (gflooker.pp)
Items shouldn't be deployed in water any more (locale.pp)
Lancemates can now use SF:1 mecha (arenaplay.pp)
Added names-above-heads mode, NAMESON config option (sdlmap.pp)
This was a frequently requested option; hopefully it won't run slowly.
SDL starts in windowed mode; added FULLSCREEN config op (sdlgfx.pp)
There were too many problems with the fullscreen mode. It doesn't appear to work on any WinXP computers at all... I don't know about Linux, and haven't recently tested it on other Windows platforms. More work needs to be done on this.
Some new concept art uploaded to the ftp site, including my idea for the Savin.
That should help some of you that were having troubles with the last version.
