Windhaven : Fire Eagle (dev. video #12)

Windhaven is a fantasy flight simulation game, in development for the Xbox360 and PC. It uses a unique control layout (one stick for each wing) and flexible-lifting-surface physics model to capture the experience of bird flight. Windhaven has 16 story missions with voice acting and cutscenes, racing, shooting and soaring challenges, and a realistic bird flight simulation mode.

Development continues on the air-to-air combat; this video shows two of the special attacks (fireball and dragon breath) and the Claw Fiend enemies. These are relatively fragile but can make a mess of the island you're defending very quickly if you don't stop them. They have no defences to the rear and sides, but if you stay in front of them they can and will blow you out of the sky.

Windhaven is currently targetted for an August 2011 release, although I might hold it another month for the Summer Uprising XBLIG event.

@rigololi Not of this game no. The first release will be on the Xbox360, the PC version will come later.

@uberwolf1 No, but it's much closer to complete now than when this video was made.
