</News>

<News ="24-01-2011">
Finally some concept progress on the morphlings, which have been quite a PITA since other factions are dependent on this one, if people would like i can show screenshots in the following week

<News ="03-01-2011">
Okay, so the mod is undertaking a serious overhaul along with some serious overhaul of working processes
this should archive faster development and better gameplay, the downside is that most of the work so far is mostly useless, so in many ways its a new start, around the 15th. Also Conzar have joined the team as lead developer for us, and he have already posted a GIS-Patch on the forum. and i will be looking forward to seeing alot more of his work, i will also be posting more here because somebody(you know who you are) said that i should share more of the development of the mod on the forums, so here i am. Shareing... again .

QA:Updated 10-01-2011
Q:This looks like starcraft
A:it looks like but it is not.

Q:It looks an awfully alot like starcraft
A:The goal of the game is not to either be ART or unit like starcraft. We are aware that the old WIP releases contains unit and structures that resembles Starcraft alot, this is because the universe the mod is inspired from is the starcraft universe.
the GIS universe and the Starcraft Universe caries resemblances but are NOT the same.

Q:Is the gameplay like starcraft, fx fast paced with different tactics, multi building selection, ect.
A:Yes, Multibuilding selection is going to be in the game at some point, and there are going to be several approaches to same "problems".

Q:UEF is that the faction that is in supreme commander?
A:No, This is a different faction in a different universe.

Q:Is there supply depots?
A:yes and no, previous releases had a supply depot,but it were removed because it doesn't make sense to keep supplies on the ground when you have a fleet in orbit, the supply dock makes it's entrance instead.

Q:is there siege tanks?
A:yes there is siege tanks for the enjoyment of breaking stuff .

[-Archmage-]

Cool, I await it!

[titi]

please, show us a screenshot in your first post 

[ultifd]

Cool can't wait, too bad ModDB... 

[Fluffy203]

yea cause the ones on your ModDb are old or is that it?

[ElimiNator]

Yah, ModDB takes for ever...

Post a shot plz.

[ultifd]

Actually, it's done.   
Will test and download later. 

[Coldfusionstorm]

I cant unfortunately not take screenshots on my box , it just comes with a blank screen. so, as much as id LIKE to give you some screenshots i cant :/.

EDIT:found a work-around.

[ElimiNator]

Is evry thing textured?

[Coldfusionstorm]

no, Next version will have allmost every unit textured if not all, what would be V.0.2.1

that version will be release in a couple of hours. ,

i will upload a sneak peek screenshit of version 0.2.1 its pretty darn awesome allready, with team colours and everything .

[Fluffy203]

it looks like starcraft almost 

[Coldfusionstorm]

thats the point ,well, not really, but the gameplay of SC, and my own custom insanety mixed together , im happy you like it , go download it, there also is a new release soon .

[ElimiNator]

Tell me once the models are texture and ill get it.

[Coldfusionstorm]

Well, most are textured, . my advice if you want to try it out is that you just download it, allmost all units have textured now. 3-4 of all units in the mod are untextured as of version 0.2.1.

[ultifd]

Cool, but one of your maps is not "finished"...   ("Waste Land") Or is it suppose to be like that?

 

[Fluffy203]

Ok i just played it , i hope this is your first mod , but i'm not going to be harsh least don't take it that way. My rating is 2/10 or 1/5. You have three factions which is awesome in any game , but the problem is that none of the units are textures least not from what i saw only the main bases.Almost no animations for the models , you do have some which is great. You also have some of the same units for the other factions which confused me. Sounds are none existent , but thats not always bad =P. No particle proj least not from what i saw. Anyways it was fun trying it out. Just wait till you get alot of your mod complete if not finished and double checked and maybe triple checked before you release it. If you wait its way more worth it even tho wanting to get it out there and have people enjoy it is always good , my suggestion is wait until you have this complete then release it cause right now i would call this a WIP(work in progress) or an alpha. 

[Coldfusionstorm]

SOme maps are indeed not complete

Units need's textures?

what?.

the unit needing texures atm is
Rifemorean SCV
Marines,lashers,and venoms, also threre is a bug with drones when atacking thier wont have a animation.
that isnt too bad imo?.

Not many animation?
The creep nurisher for morphlings have a animation so have then venom,marine's also have a animation albeit a it IS a is a little veak, lashers also have a animation albeit agien a little weak.

the third faction is a bugus, its just there for fun it.
it is suposed to get done eventually.
Allmost all buildings have a team collour texure?.

im working on sounds.

okay, feedback colleceted so far

Better animation for Morhplings Lashers.
Better animation for marines(the model is sheduled for a complete re-modeling thats kinda why it sucks atm)
Texture for lashers and venoms,(also a rename for the venom since it's misleading).
fix for the drone bug
a new SCV with preferbly with textures.(i have another scv model in the works wich is imo alot better.).

reduce the crap ex a allmost non existient map (wasteland).

sound are being worked on.

this IS my first mod, but i will also ask you to notice the difference between releases.

this release was rather large compared to the timespan it was made in, from yesterday to today

i will properly release another version today, with the same amount of changes(at least i hope so).

this is from version 0.2.1

also thanks

ultifd

your feedback is very much apriciated. .

[Coldfusionstorm]

Shameless bump for great justice and updated topic

[ultifd]

Awesome, will try it, but not now. Thanks, 

[Coldfusionstorm]

Cool, lay a word here what you liked and what not . all feedback is apriciated.

[Zoythrus]

could you take the lines off of the texes? it's kind of annoying...

[Coldfusionstorm]

well, i guess i could , not sure tho how much work that would end up .

it IS however on the long term list, my Graphical Goal is something along the lines of Starcraft2, Visually, the Gameplay i kinda want to have several modes, Random Mode, with all sorts of crazy fun stuff, and normal mode. .

[ultifd]

Well, I wish it would at least work for me. 

[Coldfusionstorm]

Well, ultifd, im sorry it wont work for you :/, id try doing it right next time. but i can't test it in linux atm.

[Zoythrus]

hey, i was looking on the wiki, and noticed that you guys now have a page up! good job.

but i had might as well warn you, the name UEF is already taken. i dont know how many of you play Supreme Commander, but one of the factions is called the "United Earth Federation"

you may want to change this....
