Goto the thrid page of the article and look at the Btrl video near the bottom of the page. You will see a lot of combat in the second half of the video.

It's only gone better since then.

Yeah, well, it's kinda hard to judge what dates are trustworthy in that article...

Quote
Freespace publishers Interplay folded in 2005, after a protracted financial battle, and the sourcecode was released.

Reading that, it would be "obvious" that the source was released in 2005. Damn, the SCP crew has really been busy little bees haven't they? :p
Title: Re: BtRL wins best Indie game in ModDB!
Post by: karajorma on January 30, 2008, 06:43:48 pm
Yeah but I think we can trust them to know what year it actually was when they wrote the article :D

I dunno... it's PCGamer after all...

Cool Video and nice demo really, I love the Galactica movies and the tv-series. Anyone know when it get ready?
Got hunger for more after that 2 missions

Title: Re: BtRL wins best Indie game in ModDB!
Post by: colecampbell666 on May 10, 2008, 12:14:22 pm
Chances are the answer is "when it's done".
Title: Re: BtRL wins best Indie game in ModDB!
Post by: fimbul on May 10, 2008, 12:17:52 pm
Hm :drevil: I read that "when its done on their page" but that doesnt satisfy me ^^

I found also sereval links for custom missions and campaigns but the link brings me always to a forum ~~
even in the download section.

Anyone has a link (which really leads to a download) for download BSG mission / campaigns?
Title: Re: BtRL wins best Indie game in ModDB!
Post by: colecampbell666 on May 10, 2008, 12:18:28 pm
The link is most likely in a forum post.

And to date, I don't think that there are any campaigns, there are only like 5 ships in the whole mod. Try multiplayer.
Title: Re: BtRL wins best Indie game in ModDB!
Post by: NGTM-1R on May 10, 2008, 02:04:47 pm
IIRC there are actually at least 3 SP campaigns, the one in the demo and two others released by players.
