SmokeJumpers Still Alive!

For those of you that still have an interest in SmokeJumpers, thanks and here's a brief update. In tweaking, debugging, etc. towards putting together an alpha demo I became aware that there were a few features I felt that should be added. In addition to directing a squad of smoke jumpers to build a fire break the player needed to be able also to direct the squad to fight a low level fire directly. I have this added now and want to add 2 more features before the alpha demo. I want the player to be able to re-direct a squad including a command to flee to the safe zone and also to be able to move the location of the safe zone (represented by the green flag). I've included a collage of screen shots showing the direct attack on a fire.
This project has taken much, much longer than I had ever hoped and my concern is that people may begin to think that SmokeJumpers is vaporware. I have every intention to see this project through to conclusion.
Thanks again for your interest,
Norv
