Title: TC publicity
Post by: jr2 on April 08, 2007, 10:57:23 pm: Just had an idea whilst reading on Q3A TCs: Maybe we could get some developers of the FS2 TCs to post here: http://freegamer.blogspot.com/ for more publicity... couldn't hurt.. Well?

Inferno:

there is Release 1 (old, abandoned, not a TC, but works with an available SCP patch)
there is Inferno: Alliance (works, not sure where it fits in, not a TC yet...)
there is Inferno: SCP (going to be a TC)
- you might want to ask an Inferno staffmember to untangle this mess for you... I'm not sure exactly how they are proceeding at this point.

Post by: jr2 on April 11, 2007, 03:59:30 pm: What's their homepages?
Title: Re: TC publicity
Post by: Mongoose on April 11, 2007, 06:07:59 pm: Shadows of Lylat (http://www.game-warden.com/starfox/) always seems to be left out of these sorts of threads, for some strange reason.
Title: Re: TC publicity
Post by: jr2 on April 12, 2007, 03:40:08 am: 1) pretend you don't know where to find Shadows of Lylat
2) go to the "Hosted Projects (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php#3)" section in HLP main forums
3) tell me how to find it without knowing its name or what it is.
4) do the same for every other TC or project that is not listed in the hosted projects section
Title: Re: TC publicity
Post by: Mongoose on April 12, 2007, 06:13:49 am: 5) The fact that you already posted a link to another TC that's hosted on Game-Warden (BtRL) suggests that, just maybe, you already know enough to be expected to be able to find it yourself.
6) If you're referring to someone new looking at this thread, I already posted the link, so the point is moot. :p

If I want to find something, I know not to look in obvious places. :p

Yes, I've noticed that too...... :( :sigh:
Title: Re: TC publicity
Post by: jr2 on April 12, 2007, 11:07:46 pm: Hmm, maybe if they released a demo....
Title: Re: TC publicity
Post by: Polpolion on April 17, 2007, 07:24:12 pm: They just need more publicity.
Title: Re: TC publicity
Post by: Vretsu on April 17, 2007, 08:16:27 pm: Ya, they've actually got a lot of media done, including terrain and cityscapes.

Do they have a promo video?

Yes... a lot of them.

Also, a few threads above this, is the 'celebration of FS" thread, which features a lot of TC shots, including a huge ammount of SoL pics.

You could have found those easily yourself though... :blah:
