Title: UW appreciation
Post by: Vretsu on May 26, 2008, 02:37:40 pm
The demo was awesome, I loved almost everything about it, especially the harrowing first missions. Limited ammunition, no targetting, no support, no jump drives; the atmosphere this created was fantastic. The advent of TARGETING COMPUTERS was liberating.

Great first release, guys. Sublime from start to finish. :yes:

Those normal maps look funny. Not up to your usual standards at all.

Hell, i'm german and I don't even know what that should mean. I couldn't even guess!

But still, very true: TVWP is really nice. Enjoyed it very much and (not so) patiently waiting for the next release.

I have returned to once more gorge myself upon the TVWP.

I am surprised that the second installment is not available. Evidently, my extended absences no longer provoke the community into a whirlwind of creative energy.

Am I allowed to talk about how (sort of) done it is, and why it hasn't been released?

Or not so much?

Post by: Galemp on April 15, 2010, 10:22:31 pm
There's creative energy, it's just elsewhere. Goober and I have poured our efforts into Silent Threat: Reborn since TVWP I was released, and the MediaVPs are stunning.

But you're right, we're about due for something.

Go for it.  You might embarrass, blackmail, or inspire someone into doing something. ;)

Okay. There are a large number of missions (and I mean LARGE) FREDded. The problem is not with the missions per se, but the gameplay design.

The missions are long. They are often a bit repetitive. And, unfortunately, it is really really easy to get killed by a circle-strafing Kestrel. This makes testing them onerous and unpleasant, which in turn means the missions have not been iterated properly.
