Ask away.

A representative will be by shortly to answer your questions.

Lets start with the obvious questions first:

When can we expect something playable?

[Goober5000]

We were planning at one point to release the training missions as a demo.  We might still, but right now we're working on the main campaign missions.  Blaise Russel and Lightspeed have been working away, and at this point we've got about five missions (out of around 28) complete or near-complete.  We're aiming to get chapter 1 finished by the summer.

1. pretty much everything it has to offer.

2. no, we don't want to spoil the fun
It's gonna be fun though, and includes quite some variety.

[Goober5000]

You can read some of the backstory on the TVWP website.

I can provide some vague but tantalizing details, however. We'll be using nearly all the new sexps and a great deal of the graphical enhancements.  There will be cutscenes and a bunch of new interface art.

Oh, and you won't have shields, so certain missions (especially bombing runs) will require different strategies.

[TopAce]

1. Are we going to be able to invade Vasuda Prime?
2. How many years will TVWP hug through?
3. Will there be certain characters?
4. Does your project support Multiplayer?

[Goober5000]

1. Possibly.  We've actually had quite a bit of discussion on that.  We have an idea, based on Eishtmo's timeline and some fan-campaign backstory, but we haven't written an outline beyond chapter 2 yet.

2. "Hug"? TVWP starts in 2313 and continues through Operation Thresher.  Chapter 1 goes from 2313 to 2316.

3. Yes.

4. No.

[Solatar]

When we release it, I was planning on trying to make a few multiplay missions to go with it (like an expansion) but there's only about a 50% chance it'll get done.

Yeah, I don't get the 'hug' either.  In any case, the actual 14 Year War is from 2321 to 2335.  The project covers a touch more ground than that (since we're starting in 2313 here).

1. not yet. Chapter 1 is the Unification-War

2. the whole TV-War, plus some years before

3. Yes.

4. Definately, and if i'd have to do it meself

[Goober5000]

Er, the TVWP doesn't support multiplayer because ballistic primaries and some of the sexps don't work in multiplayer.

[Lightspeed]

someone will (have to) fix it

[phreak]

so how many explosions will there be in chapter 3?

[Antares]

Any [Glow=red]Shivans[/Glow]
in TVWP?

[Lightspeed]

Well as we're working on Chapter 1 right now, we cannot precisely answer your question phreaky

And in chapter 1 you'll have a hard time looking for us shivans

[Goober5000]

We'll have a better answer to that question when we get to around chapter 4 or so.  If we do introduce them, it won't be in the way you expect.

Please no shivans it's about Terran VS Vasudan war..so Shivans are not needed!

[Lightspeed]

Well, chapter one isn't even about the Vasudans

No need to worry about this now

You forget what stopped the T-V war in the first place. And with the Shivans in mind, you remember that it was a good possibility that the GTI (if not the HOL) knew of the Shivans long before they were 'announced'.
