I got this while on the FreeSpace Universal Reference project reading about the Unification war an I thought what if there was a campaign about it? I thought it would be a good idea but I can't do it right now what with my campaign and the fact that it needs lots of modelling and I can't actually model in Belnder or Truespace. But if anyone's run out of ideas for a new project.

*cough* Terran Vasudan War Project *cough*
:welcome:
-
It's in progress. You should be able to play it this summer. :)
-
Make sure you have a good plot, where the good guys aren't really the good guys and the bad guys are worse, so you join with some rebel faction and beat down everyone (singlehandedly of course, gotta keep with the Freespace mood) and then everyone gets owned by shivans and you run away and blow something important up to stop the shivans

NEVER EVER set a date like this. Now something's bound to happen that slows us down in mid-work. Will it be a spontaneous heart attack? a harddrive crash? who knows.
But every time i've heard things like 'it will be out in XXXX' the project has fallen inactive and was ever since never heard of again :D
Don't tempt murphy's law :rolleyes:

Unification war - Vasudans not discovered - pre GTA - shivans ?
RRRRIIIIIGGGHHHHT.
There will be absolutely no shivans. :)

What about optimistic goals? :)
I guess I shouldn't set dates, but summer seems pretty reasonable. :p
-
Dont set dates, because look what happened to Half Life 2 and Duke Nukem Forever!!!
-
Yes, but those games are/were made by complete morons, whereas TVWPs 'moron-staff' count is pretty low.
-
What I was originally thinking of was pre-GTA etc. Earth would obviously not be united. As for factions I have a few ideas, stuff like: European Alliance, Eastern Coalition, South American Co-operation etc
-
You honestly think that South America will ever be able to afford a space program?
Have Europe win and become the GTA
-
that would explain some command stupidity......
Help, the Sathanas is coming in.
erm, we are only authorized to send in a destroyer and a few fighters to do the task, 6 wings is all i am allowed to use according to budget program 34C subsection 6 paragraph 3. More force would require a direct warrant from a full commision.
-
In our campaign, Earth has a single government - just to make things simpler. The 158th is doing something similar to this, though, with separate Earth factions - you may want to check them out. :)
-
We are pre-GTA but at the very end of the pre-GTA 'empire'. The people will have formed up to several factions (Earth + Earths former colonies).
Trust me when I say our setting is a very solid, and good base.
-
(Earth + Earths former colonies).
*cough* Gundam *cough cough*
-
no.

It's just an idea, you know random seemingly great ideas that pop in your head. And those were FACTIONS, I didn't say SPACE-FARING FACTIONS.
-
Just have a watch for TVWP Chapter 1: The Unification War. It will be a pretty nice surprise for you all when it's gonna be released ;)
-
Really?
Anyway, I expect the weapons should be either projectile weapons accelerated at a high speed from a gas explosion (i.e guns) or what I like to call 'true lasers' as in proper laser weapons as in the intense focused ray of coloured light (think fighter beams).
-
Just wait and see - we aren't stupid either you know. Everything's been though of, and we're approaching a possible release rapidly. There wont be anything much we will change on our concept anymore anyway. So - no need to think twice about the problems :)
Of course, if you're interested and have some FS2 skills (FREDding, modelling, something else) you could always join us ;)

AR Seems to think we have forgotten everything about Freespace and just stupidly threw together something that relates to the Unification War...

Which, in your case, is closer to the truth than he could imagine.

How did you get my real life intials?

by simply taking the first 2 letter of your nick? it's a common way of shortingen peoples names 'round here
-
I see...

:lol: :D
Anyway ARothers, it's such a good idea, someone's already thought of it. Go pay the TVWP forum a visit. :)

The public forum is a graveyard, tho :p

Well, there is the FAQ. :doubt:

Ya, but the public forum's practically the only thing keeping non-insiders aware what's happening, as the website is more obsolete than a Syrian T-34/85 facing Merkava Mk.4s in Golan Heights and as dead also.
Tell us what's going on! :(
-
Ask and you shall receive. :)
Incidentally, the public forum is actually quite busier than many of the other mods' public forums. There are several pages of threads if you set the display to "since the beginning" rather than "the past 30 days".

Hey, anyone feel like making me some inferno test missions?
