I guess this one is a bit overdue! Sorry
There have been a few things to report, though not as much as I wanted since I have been on Holiday. I have significantly revised the messaging system to resemble a chat screen (as shown in the screenshot), you can see the direction a marine is facing by looking at the map and I have started working on TCP/IP connectivity. Yes, that means Internet play.
However I have unfortunately hit a few snags with multiplayer - it is extremely complicated and my experience with programming multiplayer games has been limited to an online pong-like (even that ran into serious difficulties). I may have another go at it in a few weeks but for now I have other priorities to focus on.

The tip thingees look cool.
Planning on voice overs?
Well, i'm planning on having the marines talking - they'd each have a different kind of personality (aggressive, stoic, nervous etc). Interested in voice acting by chance?
Looks awesome dude. I hope you can iron out all the kinks.
