HT: Cutscene Post-Mission 01

(Feat. art by the amazing Mistercrowbar.tumblr.com )
So, the in-between missions cutscenes in HT will be in form of still-images reminiscent of the style from Ace Combat 04 and X ? Nice.
And that pilot character, looking by her expression and the loud "THUD!" sound when meeting the guy, it can be guessed that she's has a cheerful-type character
Internally, we refer to that sound effect in the script as a "glomp".
And Castle? Yeah, she's generally more cheerful than the other St. Richards pilots.
That guy mentioned the word "age". I guess she's somewhere between late teens (which is impossible in real world for a fighter pilot, but hey it's the other universe, right ?) or early twenties. Speaking of character's bio, will there be bonus/gallery content inside the campaign such as the character profiles, etc. ?
Nah, she's not a teenager. We're not going down 'that' path, last thing I personally want is us having to work with eighteen year old psuedo-adults masquerading as killers and pilots. But yeah, mid twenties is a good description of Castle's age. Lynx, just a tad older.
In speaking of that general system of a 'gallery' yeah, we're looking into having that. We've been referring to it as a codex or a bible, but it's something we'd like to have ingame eventually.
In regards to content, we'll probably set aside some hefty material, akin to how Mass Effect did it.
For example, for Castle's bio here, we'll probably mention how she's an aircraft enthusiast first, not wanting to have become a pilot of war. In fact she tried to join the air force of Voslow out of love of aircraft, but the gender restrictions made it not an option for her. A few, perhaps misguided, dealings later she's now a regular, if not green, mercenary pilot. This is seen in her aircraft actually. She doesn't have much funds accumulated yet, but that Fishbed is decked out like a Mustang in scheme, reflective of her interests.
The art and voice acting is amazing. :D
Sounds great so far.
Cool VO!
