Announcement: Between the Ashes
Finally got back around to this project and it still seems worth it, so I decided to officially let you all in on my side project!

Between the Ashes: Slaves of Chaos

Between the Ashes tells the story of mankind after the Shivans have been defeated and the Lucifer destroyed. The stage is set by the GTI rebellion near the end of the Great War. Without a home, mankind wanders across the stars aimless and without purpose. Where do we go from here? Are the Shivans still out there? Who else might lurk in the universe seeking our destruction and how do we prepare? These are the questions everyone is asking.

The losses to the Shivans and the crippled state of the GTA from the Fourteen Year War has caused many to lose faith in a unified government. And the Hammer of Light has become a dangerous terrorist group, but to what end?


SCREEN REDACTED

I'm building this one minimalist style. No need to make assets when hundreds are available. Assuming I keep a good balance between working on this and all my other projects, it should be pretty easy to finish up as all it needs is FREDing! Be intrigued!

Re: Announement: Between the Ashes
Is this a campaign set in the reconstruction period between The Great War and Capella? Looks very along the lines of this and awesome at the same time!

lrn2lvlshot, damnit. Think of us poor netbook users !

People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

SpardaSon21: it seems like you exist in a permanent state of half-joking misanthropy

Axem: when you put it like that, i sound like an insane person

and after everything we've seen here maybe even more.
I know we're not the only ones, and we were not the first,

Also, it's "Pisces", not "Pices".

But it sounds interesting. :)

More reconstruction era!   :yes:

Hopefully, it's about time someone used those. I Volition was probably throwing those out there precisely for campaign makers to use...

 
Re: Announement: Between the Ashes
So many campaign announcements lately.  2011 is going to be a great year for the FreeSpace 2 community.

How many missions are you aiming for?

EDIT: Fixed my mistype with the year.  Thanks for catching that spoon.

mad bomber was planning to expand on that with his remade eagle takes flight, but no one will host the leftover files from him: there's a promising new model called the antaeus...

Shameless self-reference

Re: Announement: Between the Ashes
Hey don't steal my thread...  :(

Yes, it is reconstruction era. I have a more complicated story arc in mind, but I broke it up into episodes just to see if I can get one chunk of it out.

Specifically, this episode will deal with the GTA struggling to find their place in a destroyed and broken galaxy.
