Looks pretty cool, I'm looking forward to playing it. Any details about the storyline, perhaps? And when does it take place?
Fighting Centauri and rogue(?) EA does not reveal much, but it can't take place during the Civil War, because a Warlock is in it... Hm...

STORYLINE (detailed version without spoiler):
You are a pilot of EA's 22nd Fast-Action-Responding-Force ("22. Schnelle Eingreiftruppe" - orginial concept). You are one of study group of men serving and defending the Earth Alliance whenever needed.
And EA needs to be defended in 2263: Centauri rouges are attacking ISA ship's all around. Some rouge EA commanders form the civil war have not been brought to justice yet.
But the thread is still hidden from our view. Still it is infringed at a place WE can not go to. But what if the enemies of mankind can?

/EDIT: IP don't spoil a thing! alhtough thing have been changing since we chated about it you can ruin much....

That's good, it doesn't present much real information, but it sound's quite cool.
Maybe a Drakh scenario, or... Whatever.

Not to go off topic but:

How'd you get that wireframe view in the target part of the HUD?
Title: Re: AWAKENING OF THE BEAST - WIP
Post by: 0rph3u5 on January 29, 2006, 07:23:47 am
you have to specifiy a key for that:
"toggle wireframe target box" - misc-keys in config

- voice actors (list of roles will follow soon)

nobody wanting to help with the textures??
It's just for a single model and we need nothing more than 3 or 4 textures...

voice acting will have to wait a while (having to insert some new roles while making the missions)
Title: Re: AWAKENING OF THE BEAST - WIP
Post by: Stormcrow on January 30, 2006, 11:56:19 am
Concerning voice acting, what is required to do this besides... well, a voice? Any technical requirements? Programmes?
Title: Re: AWAKENING OF THE BEAST - WIP
Post by: 0rph3u5 on January 31, 2006, 03:23:02 am
Nothing more than a voice, a microphone and a programm to record ....
which one? - I've to ask someone else on that... maybe I can answer this later this day

Audacity is a good recording program, and it's free.

That looks pretty good.  Nice to see the use of the cutscene operators.   :cool:

Okay folks... let us remember this one with a
PROGESS REPORT!!!
Missions
Slasher has joined me a while ago after my friends with those I worked on the project before turned back to RL. We both do great step towards finishing the missions and getting the campaign done.
Cut-Scene-Missions
After some minor fixes all CSMs are fine now.
Misc.
Primus is currently working on a website for us where I can post such news and you may gain some further clues about this campaign. Once it is finished a link will be posted.
In the mean time I'm collecting screens for creating a trailer - Maybe I can finish it before the campaign is released.

BTW. Anyone figured out yet who jumps out near the Narn in the screens 3 posts back??

Hi Orph3u5, A proper military term is QRF - Quick reaction force.  I was in the British army for years, so if you need any military advice or slogans, Ill help you out on that one :)
Title: Re: AWAKENING OF THE BEAST - WIP
Post by: Wanderer on March 22, 2006, 08:09:32 am
Or RDF (Rapid Deployment Force), also long used military term.
Title: Re: AWAKENING OF THE BEAST - WIP
Post by: CaptJosh on March 22, 2006, 01:05:06 pm
Also RRT, Rapid Response Team. All three are valid.

okay folks I've got bad news... no real bad news but well they are bad:
the release date of this campaign (planed to be in the next three weeks) will be delayed...
next possible release date is end July...

the website is done - and the link will be posted at the end of the weekend

ps. I'm offically staying with "Fast Action Responding Force" as term. :ick: might be incorrect but I used it in all material to the campaign

Agh, I really should be getting some sleep now.
