Title: Sunday 20 February 2011
Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on February 03, 2011, 06:51:42 pm

The cult of the sacred Moo CoW has raised thier voices (all 4 of em) and decreed:

On 20 February 2011, we will release CoW 1 Revamped.

We made it better than it was.  Better.  Stronger.  Faster.  We had the technology.  We had the capability to make the world's first bion....sorry, I was having a Six Million Dollar Man moment.

If you worked on CoW 1 or CoW 2 in ANY capacity, We will pre-release it to you on 13 February 2011.  Just PM me for the link and I will send it on that date.  All that we ask is that you PM me with any last minute bugs that you find. 

Changes since the last screens:

TopAce and Mobius testing and fixing.

I scrapped the Adhara skybox in favor of something more subtle.  Aldo (the hallowed creator of CoW) wanted  CoW to be visually dark.  In an attempt to honor his vision, the background nebulae remain in the skybox, as well as a few you haven't seen yet.  But the overall effect is much darker than the old screenshots show. 

Anyway.  On the show.

This is good news indeed.  Only 17 days until public release.

Deadlines possess some additional motivational force. They have "There's no stopping us now" written all over them. :P

Yeah, and now since you said that something's going to stop you.  I mean, what could possibly go wrong? :drevil:

Only 3 things prevent us from releasing it tomorrow.

I have as yet not comitted the new skybox maps to svn, that will happen in the next day or two.  It would not do for you guys to see them before the rest of the CoW team does.

I have about an hours worth of work on the voice acting.

I want to make sure that everyone who who worked on CoW 1 or 2 originally has time to see the thread and respond for pre-release.

If there's any feedback from the old team, will you post it on the internal?
