If you've been around IRC then you know I'm working on some... campaign... with a Ravana and it does weird stuff...
Hey didn't your already make one like th-
NO, no I did not. In fact I bar you from ever mentioning it again. Anyway, it's been in the works since... well the first mission says it was created April 24th, 2009. I probably could have shown it off here earlier, but the last time I did that, the campaign died as I tried to make the last mission. Thankfully no one remembers it so I don't know why I'm mentioning that (and Snail, you don't count. You're a nobody)
But as I begin to get past the 2/3rds mark, I think I can actually finish it this time! So its time to show off some totally rad screenshots!
Before I do that, I'll bore you with some useless info: Shortly after the Sathanas is destroyed, the GTVA begins a mop-up operation to take care of the rest of the Shivan fleet that invaded Capella. One Ravana-class destroyer, the SD Vassago, begins an operation of its own. The GTVA must destroy the Vassago before the it destabilizes their hold on the nebula.
Fact: A few custom ships, like the GTC Cretheus and GTI Polaris
Fact: 6 playable missions + 3 half-playable missions (I feel they're more like interactive cutscenes)
Fact: Contains 130% of your daily beam intake
Fact: Lotta new music, no disco though
and Fact: I am looking for beta testers to help test and refine the campaign. Testers will be selected on a awesome and leet basis.
Anyway now I see you've skipped all that text and gone right for the screenshots. Enjoy!

Something tells me that this won't be...

Just Another Day

SHUTUPLEAVEMEALONE

Yay! Can't wait. Fantastic screenshots, too.
-
Oh! Oh! Pick me as a beta tester! Oh!
I also laughed way more then I should have at those last lines :lol:
-
That'll give me something to do I suppose. Sign me up too.
-
Awesome! I'd prefer to play the finished product, so all I can do is say that I think you guys are awesum.
Anyway, I guess this is a remake of SoK. I see the last screenshot is of the Resheph trying to dock with the Ravana. Cool. :)
-
If you need a tester for the easier difficulties (VE and E), count me in. If you need a reason for my awesomeness: I've actually read through your test before I've checked the screenies! :P

Oh god you remember the names of the ships? Even I don't! But let me assure you, there will be no docking with Ravanas. FACT.
Also Fact: I am using Fury's AI Profiles. :)

I'll test if BP doesn't demand my attention right away again. :P

Axem, you'll have one hell of a ride. :p

Should I just give up in a fit of rage now to get it over with? :p

Hey, I'm not that dangerous.
...am I? :P

Well your references advised to watch out for you on full moons and to keep a few silver bullets handy.
I'll have to confer with my astrologist and Ouija board before I make any final decisions.

Huzzah! Primary FREDding complete. Now I just have to deal with my beta testers nitpicking every little thing I've done. How dare they tell me my creations are not perfect! :mad:
To celebrate, have some new screenshots!

Also, I am looking for a proof reader to look over my text to correct bad grammar, spelling or even fairly bad dialog. I mean "Cretheus here. We're starting to read damage to our hull." How drab! One more beta tester wouldn't hurt either...

If you'd like one more tester, sign me up.

Vassago's Dirge: It's never epic enough
When I first test played Vassago my jaw dropped, what a opening. But then, Axem was like "I'm not pleased, how can we go back and make this even better?" and then the mission did not only had an awesome opening but also an awesome ending. Cause that's how Axem rolls, Good just ain't Good enough.
And then he linked me to Shadow of the kraken :lol:
-
That's why I want to playtest it. :)
-
Looking very good, I can't wait :D
Love the skybox in your first post's second picture - it's absolutely beautiful. Where is it meant to be?
-
The whole campaign takes place in Capella, so get used to the tan and red nebulae. :p The mission in the pic you're talking about takes place by the ring of a gas giant.

Well, it looks great, can't wait :yes:
-
Does it involve Barney some how? :P
-
Yes, Kosh. This campaign is so chock full of hilarity and nonsense, it will rival Second Great War Part 2 ten times over.
-
For what reason did you use the word "Dirge" anyway? :wtf:
-
:wtf: I'm not sure how to answer that... For what reason did you choose your name anyway? :p
Dirge fits the mood of the campaign and the ending. Music also plays a large meta-role in the campaign, so it all fits together.
-
So, is it finished yet?
-
If it was finished, it would have been highlighted. And there would be a release post. Stuff like that.
-
If you want some more nitpicking, I'm here. ;)
-
No, but thanks for your generous offer. Beta testing is pretty much all but complete.
-
Soooooooo when's the release? :P
-
Soooooooo when's the release? :P
Go read the "Descendants, Dawn, and Dirge anticipation thread!"
-
It is absolutely amazing!!!!! As a i'am on the first mod (awakenings) i can't wait to play this one as well.
My compliments!
Will have to upgrade to 3.6.12 though (now at 3.6.10).
And then turning the settings to very high!!!
LOL!!
;)
