Post by: Su-tehp on July 24, 2002, 08:49:22 pm: Here's another question: How soon? As in: how soon until this campaign is ready?

And here's the eighth question: What mods have you created and when can we see them? :)
Title: Inferno Q&A Thread
Post by: Alikchi on July 24, 2002, 09:13:12 pm: How soon? Well Chapter One is composed of around 20 missions. We have about 10 ready.

The mods are complete. Finalized, done. You can see most of them in the tech database. Also, Woomeister is about done with a new version of the Inferno site, which includes a new comprehensive Tech DB. So..yeah.

Post by: Culando on July 25, 2002, 12:52:03 am: Ooh, nice. I can't wait. I've been waiting for this campaign for quite some time. I'd offer help for the missions, but I'm a terrible FREDder. ^^;
I've got 2 Qs

1.) You mentioned "other" in that "Who" question. How many new species are we dealing with?

2.) What does the moon smell like?
Title: Inferno Q&A Thread
Post by: Alikchi on July 25, 2002, 12:58:50 am: How many new? Just 2, the Ancients and Other, although there is a new Terran faction, the Earth Alliance (the guys you'll be fighting at the beginning of the campaign)

Post by: TheVirtu on July 25, 2002, 02:01:24 am: Is this campaign meant for little peons like me with 33.6k modems?

Post by: Alikchi on July 25, 2002, 02:06:19 am: NO! Go back to your corner until you get broadband like the rest of us.

Yes, the average pack size is about 2.5mb compressed. No excuse not to have it for anyone :D

10/14 missions are nearly complete. The thing slowing us down is the art like cb animations.

Actually my original deadline was last week :D

first chapter will be done soon...

Title: Inferno Q&A Thread
Post by: Bri_Dog on July 31, 2002, 03:29:56 pm: Will all the mods be released with chapter one? Or will it be gradual, increasing with each chapter?
Title: Inferno Q&A Thread
Post by: Woomeister on July 31, 2002, 03:33:08 pm: Most likely all at once.

If all the mods are released then yes, but they don't appear to the end.

can i guess?

3) What are their names:

Are they the Ancients? :)

i'm just guessing, cause you said "very old", and the Ancients are "very old"... maybe one survived? :D :eek:

:) :p

Post by: Woomeister on August 19, 2002, 03:25:57 am: 1) how's it coming

Slowy

2) who all's working on it

Staff page:
http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/staff.htm

3) job openings?

I really need single frame cb artists since I'm the only one doing them, and more freders wouldn't hurt I suppose...

Post by: Woomeister on August 31, 2002, 12:44:46 pm: I'm making a big credits...thing. But it's gonna take a lot of time. Lots of files to give full credit for :)

We're a very small staff for a very large project. I'm stuck with all the jobs none of us can really do well, such as cb animations.
