Title: Announcement: Between the Ashes
Post by: mjn.mixael on February 23, 2011, 10:41:09 pm
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!

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!

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

But it sounds interesting. :)

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

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...

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.

So are you going to fix the misspelling in the thread title?

 :bump: for fun.

Really cool things on the way. For now, you can probably get a few more tidbits from the WIP website. (EDIT: Website dead)

(Screenshots pending some testing and spellchecks...)

EDIT: I'm hoping to add 1 more FREDer to the team. PM me or catch me on IRC.

May be it´s a story about the GTA space in the same time of the story in earthspace alá  "Sol a History".
But will it be the story about the development of the GTVA ?.....

Starting to really come together recently. I took previous advice (based on the original screen) and fixed all those spelling errors remade that mission.  :lol:

Fantastic use of Black Wolf's modular construction kit

Since many of the missions take place in the same system, we are working on a nice skybox!

Mixael has clearly shown excellent taste in mods right here. I predict the campaign will be super-fantastic as a direct result.

I'm not sure random pieces of junk floating about is "fantastic" use of the modular construction kit. :P

Here's an image (not from ingame) from BtA in 1080p. Enjoy.

EDIT: New image on its way that has fixed lens flares (IE: Not occluded by foreground objects.)

Interesting, and a good read, but there were at least five additional Orions destroyed, based on the FS1 ships.tbl.  And one more in unknown condition, if you assume a pathfinder ship (the GTD Orion itself) was built.

Wow!  That is composed just like a Setekh render.  You need to set up your own version of the Hard Light Array. :)
