Produced and Written by the people who worked on Project Wingman (The composer and the writer) >Two hours long>Divided in 12 episodes>90 minutes of original music>Mixes 3D animation with 2D art similar to the cutscenes of Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies>Plot Summary: In a world scarred by years of war, the Free Nations stand on the brink of annihilation. The Saal'Runa Empire's iron fist has crushed all resistance. All but one. One pilot flies a last sortie across the whole Empire, from the northern front to the strait, the Aegis Sea and the Capital. The story of a fighter pilot on his final mission, driven by revenge against the Empire that took everything from him. He escorts a weapon no one should know exists. All that stands in his way are the aces of the Saal'Runa Empire, the last pilots standing after years of war.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jui4ufOwT5shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frBou9Tfvlohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRD_UmFF5sUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myNMzW5vYqAComing out the 10th of November on steam
Why on Steam?
>>156142684I imagine because Dispatch did really well.
>>156141725weird,it was announced so long ago i assumed it was already released
>female voice actor is doing anime voiceYeesh.
>>156144825Well you thought WRONG.
>>156141725Is it related to Ace Combat or just influenced by it?
>>156147045As in this has Project Aces involment? No, it is completely unrelated. This is an animation completely influenced by Ace Combat brought to another medium.
>>156141725>Kira Bucklandholy shit they got 2B's voice actress voicing the protag sidekick
well at least this ain't gonna have some therapyslop
>>156144825These things take time and more so when the actual team working on it is so small that you can count them with your two hands alone.Project Wingman took roughly the same time amount of time to make which was 5 years and it was literally made by 3 dudes with a bunch of If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device voice actors and they made a game that can actually rival the original material. Now two of those dudes (Jose and Matthew) went on to make this new passion project.

>>156149205Sorry that this has no ragebait or controversy to make twitter-/co/ care
>>156141725Looking foward to this mostly because it feels the most male appealing indie animation recently.
>>156144931Saying this as someone who is into this niche, that is rather common.
>>156141725>Show me some flying, fly boy.>>156149097sex with 2b awacs
>>156147045Influenced a lot by ace combat but still keeping its own identity The soundtrack already gives that outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JBidB-9Oqkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqehA96TIZ0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1IDybqoxoghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7srEO56W4whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZcrAciOdWM
>the director is also the composer and the editor and the producer and the story writerif this wasn't an indie thing i would be raising several red flags over this
>>156144931What exactly is "anime dub acting"?
>>156151704I think he meant that the voice acting sound corny/cheesy or overdramatic.
I love that every air force in the ACverse contains like any and every jet between the 2nd and 5th gens. The people doing maintenance and supplying spare parts must have weekly aneurysms keeping everything organized.
>Here's your Serious Male Indie Animation Protagonist, sir.
>>156148952Zodiac doesn't seem the kind of guy to want or have a therapy talk at all.
>>156152168>that much unauthorized facial hair on a fighter pilotWhen them standards drop that's when they start losing.
Info from the Kickstarter page
>>156149097Nice hands there, I too missed the early days of ai art.
>>156152168>>156152205He looks he fucks female anthros
>>156152168FinallyThe mythic straight cis male protagonist
>>156152168Not particulary fond of his edgelord attitude to be honest
>>156141725Bump
>>156141725So basically ace combat but the main character actually talks
>>156149205How can people unironically say this post 4chan hack? Just say fuck off shill(not that I hate this specific thing)

>>156141725I just LOVE how this year gave us two indie animated "movies" (three if you want to count the stunt pulled by glitch with tadc episode 9) and this is so different in everything to the other one it is just hilarious.
>>156141725>Indie Animated Movie by Ace Combat FansDo I need to play the Ace Combat games to understand what is happening here?
No, not really. But playing Ace Combat or Project Wingman might help you get into the general vibe or mindset to enjoy it more.
>>156156379It's a completely original setting so it has no relation to Ace Combat at all. At most you can watch a playthrough of Project Wingman and it's dlc Frontline 59 if you want to check out the previous work of Jose and Matthew as they were the musician and the writer of that game therefore they bring that to Dawn Aerowar.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqofT8M_aM8
>>156156262you mean that autistic schizophrenic mess that got everyone in /co/ baffled by it's outro called sinking road? then yeah dawn aerowar pretty much nukes it from orbit in comparison.
>>156142684Maybe because this is basically a niche inside another niche and one clearly going against what someone usually thinks the usual appeal of indie animation is like (you won't see plushies from these characters that's for sure) so they had to use a plataform where they could get realistic profit from unlike just dropping the whole thing in youtube and call it a day.
>>156157342>Plataform*Platform
>so many indie pilots around>indie movie with actual pilots appearsamusing

>>156152168I can already see the "literally me" edits coming
>>156151338this is a surprisingly competent soundtrack
>>156160019Dude is amazinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Spr4t9esNo
>>156160019Jose Pavli knows his shit, he made the whole soundtrack of Project Wingman with a mac laptop and it almost killed it while doing the ost of Kings. Now he has a whole orchestra for Dawn and already used with Frontline 59.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzvAIu3kMtIHe's probably among the best musicians in the indie animation scene right now thanks to Dawn.
>>156160019It's one of the things I look foward the most from this release since Pavli has built a reputation of having a great powerlevel for making music.
>>156152168
>>156160019>deltarunefags shoehorning their freedom leitmotif everywhere meanwhile the project wingman freedom leitmotif rots in the corner despite being betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgtHt5-Ocmg
>>156152295>After playing Metal Gear Solid 2 when I was 8BASED ALERT
>>156162362While it would have been awful, the cancelled on foot shooter set in Strangereal had concept art by Yoji Shinkawa. Adding to the modern military confluence.
I don't get it, I seen countless /co/ complaints about everything indie animated being lacking in "masculinity" and this thing which should be like the answer to that gets glossed over? I mean yeah it is like 8 days away from being released but still I thought it would get more attention than this.
>>156141725cool i'll have to check it out.
>>156162787As >>156157342 pointed out, this is a niche within another niche and it might not be the exact answer some anons look for to what you say as "lacking in masculinity". This has been teased, funded and put in production YEARS before tadc and the current indie animation scene were even a thing so it is essentially a disconnected newcomer from the ethosphere you see around in /co/ right now.
>>156156379It isn't set in the same planet as ace combat so no.
>>156154919There was Assault HorizonWe don't talk about Assault Horizon
>>156149097I wish I still knew how to play trumpet :(
>>156141725So basically the plot is that the protag nukes a city
So it's not even pretending to be a CYOA?
>>156165976No, it's a single narrative from start to end, there's a "war room" mode that allows following along the story by episodes and do small minigames to gain more backstory and details but you can skip all that with "cinematic mode" which amounts to binge watching the whole thing in a single seating with no interruption.
>>156151338>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZcrAciOdWM
>>156152168too realistic almost look like he came out from a comic
I really hate the fuel probes on Rafales.
>>156163901The fuck are these names
How come planewank is not a thing in western animation?Not even trying to incite fighting, legit can't think of anything that scratches the top gun/ace combat/macross/area 88/yukikaze vibe
>>156168779Too white male coded No seriously, indie animation twitter/bluesky hates the military industrial complex in any shape and form so dawn aerowar being a thing is an anomaly
