LEAKED BETA: JUST ANOTHER DAY 2.21 - YOU ARE (NOT) ALPHA 1
Listen up, nerds! Axem's decided to be a thick headed moron and keep withholding the next JAD, "until its perfect". Boloney! "Bugs", "Balance Issues", "Spelling Mistakes", such trivial matters on the galactic scale. I didn't hear anyone tell Bosch he couldn't have a Neo Terran Rebellion*, just because he needed his manifesto spell checked! That release date he gave was just to pretend that he was still working on it. That is why, in my infinite wisdom, I am releasing Just Another Day 2.21, as it is, right here, right now! Don't think that I'm doing this just because I am the award winning star of the campaign. It's the principle of the matter! The campaign must be released before it goes bad in the musky rotten basement that is Axem's hard drive.

You'll thank me later for this, Axem! I had to do what needed to be done, for JUSTICE.

Draft Release Post by: Axem


Just Another Day is a series of parody campaigns based on FreeSpace and other related Sci-Fi aspects. Just Another Day 1, 2 and 3 feature the unfazeable Alpha 1 and FRED, god of this universe as they fight for truth, justice and the proper way campaigns should be made. These campaigns can be played here!

The Just Another Day 2.2 Series takes place after JAD2, when FRED gets cast into another dimension, the method of which will be kept hidden so the campaign isn't totally spoiled! Without FRED, the Just Another Day Reference Bible is up for grabs, and the poor souls who Beta Tested the series want it for themselves.

Only one girl can save the universe from these suddenly appearing demigods, mysterious shadowy councils and internet in-jokes. And that girl is... 19th century English Computer Programmer Forerunner, Augusta Ada Lovelace! Or some ditz named Holley. Whoever's available.

That's right.

YOU

ARE

(NOT)

ALPHA 1!


This is totally different than all JADs before it!

- NO plotholes!
- NO copyright infringements!
- NO references to Disco Music!
- NO Alpha 1!
- NO God*! (* So said Nietzsche)
- NO unexpected twist ending!
- AND NO MORE!

(Please note, only one of those is a lie)

How can you possibly call this JAD? I'm altering continuity! I can do ANYTHING I WANT NOW.

Also there's a lot of anime references stuffed in here too. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking either.


What you need to play:

* Any build past 3.6.14. 3.6.16 or newer should work just fine.
* MediaVPs 3.6.12
* A Heart

Please extract the files into a folder called /JAD2-2/, start up your mod launcher of choice, select the mod, and go off and have fun!

Download link down for maintenance!

Link to the trailer so you know what you're getting into!

Known issues to be fixed in the next beta:


===

*Little known fact, the original title was the "Neon Terran Rebellion."

P.S. Axem, a publically accessible directory is a horrible spot to hide these things.

Well, lets see how people like it anyway.

Just a note: It has been my experience that turning on the "Disable Vertical Sync" command flag will cause problems with camera fade in, subtitles and possibly some of the synchronized music events. Please have that command flag turned off.

I'm not done with it yet but so far this is Triple-A Plus material. Would play again many more times.

Spoiler:
When going on the taco errand, is there a way to tell how much you try to offer, as I've been having to try guessing the price by hitting the arrows once and clicking fire, repeating the steps---and suddenly the Anti-Shoplifting beams just fired at me, gonna try that again. I know I have all the HUD guages on since I checked before playing.

Can you post a screenshot of what you see? Your offer should be in large numbers.

Awsum. The end of the world as we expect it.
BTW, what's the name of the track in the first mission?

Spoiler:
****load of really nice ideas, Blue Planet and Wings of Dawn references and such. The only thing that was missing was a freighter mission....
*next mission*
What the hell? At firs I wanted to pay 100 credits. I went higher to 1000....2000....3000...and then I thought:"Dude, you're in an universe full of smexy Anime girls, ridiculous Beta Testers sitting in beam-spamming Seraphims, without Alpha 1 and you just released the ultimate Macross missile swarm in the last mission. It can't get more ridiculous."
So I wanted to pay 1 credit and....sort of.
"Ka-BOOOOOOOOM!!!!"
"Uh, Sir we can hear the explosion."

Spoiler:
Very cool so far, some of the most creative cutscene work I've seen. I like how almost every beta tester gets introduced as if they were from one of the bosses from the Zelda games.

I totally sucked in the race heh, Delta 1 is just too good/cool. Nice work with the hud on that one.

That scream from the menacing 'let's be friends!' boss... I know I'll revisit it in a nightmare soon. All the beta testers seem to come out as very creepy and obsessive about getting their point across... like monsters to be slain.

One thing I found very innovative about this campaign is the way you can swap fighters in the middle of the battle. I'll have to look at how you do this. It opens the door for doing very innovative FPRTS gameplay. Lead in a bomber strike and switch to a fighter to clean up. Command a capital ship and switch to a scout to launch tags. It would allow the player to command battles better... I... just ..like it!

Just one thing...
Is the mission with the seventh beta tester uh... beatable? It seems to end right before Epsilon 1 can crash into it. I must have tried 5 times now. Maybe I don't get it or I'm doing something wrong.

Overall very colorful, musical, and atmospheric. Good time all around.
