The creators of all four campaigns took pains to make them compatible with one another, so I think you can assume that they're all part of the same universe, on the same time line.

pls list them in chronological order then :D

Well, Derelict comes first and BWO comes last.  If you want specific dates I dunno; I'd have to replay them.  Why don't you do that? :p

We already have a planned sequel if there is interest after BWO is released.

Similarly it's rather difficult to write a sequel to a campaign that you don't know what the story is.

it wasn't a sequel i had planned.. just something in the same general timeline - i guess if we both go on those projects we'll have to coordinate as to not step on ech other's toes

I have a question: Does Awakenings fit into this timeline also?
Title: Re: Time line
Post by: Ace on July 30, 2007, 10:46:54 pm
Aftermath, yes.

Awakenings, no.
Title: Re: Time line
Post by: Kazan on July 31, 2007, 12:04:00 am
where does aftermath fit in the timeline... please list everything in this timeline in chronological order
Title: Re: Time line
Post by: Snail on July 31, 2007, 05:55:20 am
Aftermath before everything else i would believe.
Title: Re: Time line
Post by: redsniper on July 31, 2007, 07:58:54 pm
I thought Aftermath was b/w FS1&2?
Title: Re: Time line
Post by: Snail on August 01, 2007, 08:27:33 am
That's why it would be before everything else.

No...not that close.  But there will probably be some plans made to produce something post BWO.  I drew up the plans a very very very long time ago and most of the BWO team has read the plans and generally agrees on the idea.  I'll probably not be significantly involved and I suspect we'll want a very different approach to development for this campaign with broader community involvement but that will be up to the new team when/if we get to that point.  All focus is still on BWO.

It would be far enough in to the future that there would be enough years to make it sort of moot who won or what the outcome would be.  Political turmoil and war can always change whatever balance is in place.  Point being that I don't want to make the outcome in BWO, one that the player chooses, to be right or wrong.  We can just gloss over some details :)
Title: Re: Time line
Post by: Ace on August 04, 2007, 02:10:35 pm
If that's the case, will the sequel be from the branch of choosing the GTVA side or the EC's side?

EC?

There is no Earth Coalition in BWO, nor in any campaign I am familiar with.
Title: Re: Time line
Post by: Snail on August 04, 2007, 02:29:22 pm
It's Sol Coalition of Planets, and its ships are named SMxx

Wasn't Warzone after Derelict? I can't really remember but in Warzone the GTVA returns to earth... don't they? That would have to put it after Derelict.

Mmmm not quite.... Warzone deals with a Shivan incursion in Deneb and some black GTVI projects that get in the way/become the focal point as the campaign continues onwards.

BWO is where the GTVA returns to the Sol system and Earth :)
