This will be the All Hands To War Demo topic, and i'll just bump it instead of making a new one.

I need to know feedback from anyone with it on the following questions:


POLL: how many of the first missions should be in the demo?(it is about 20 missions)
(poll will timeout in 5 days)

Should i include the GTD Minnow mod or just use an orion?
Should it be in a VP file?
Where should i upload it?
Should voice acting be included?


ANNOUNCEMENT: I still need the people who have tested missions and done voice acting to contact me

Well personally, Camps wth first missions as their demo's kinda annoy me But [/b] it's better than nothing

That having been said..

It depends on how large your campaign is. if you have a small camp (less than 12 missions) than 3 only. if you have medium (between 15 and 20) than go with 4. If you have a large camp, then go with 5.

Use the modified Orion. It's a demo, so it won't be that big.

Yes, one singular VP please.

Uploading you could do over something like geo****ies or something. That or you could get someone nice to do it.

Voice acting is A-1 Supar as long as you have a good cast.

For the minnow, (and if i do 5 missions, Bastion, and Modified Minnow) should i just include the maps, models, and table inserts, or the whole table files?

[Knight Templar]

All of the above.

You're showing off something that is meant to get people intrested in your work, so you want to show them the best side of it, right?

Why? Is it cause you then have to play those five missions again once the full version is released?

[Hippo]

heres how the release schedule will look:

3 missions: add 1 weeks
4 missions: add 2 weeks
5 Missions: add 3 weeks

MODS: (including maps, models and table inserts)
GTD Minnow: add 1 day
GTD Minnow (refitted): add 1 day
GTD Bastion:add 1 day

Voice:
All voices: add 2 weeks
No voices: add 0 weeks

MODS2: (including maps, models and whole tables)
GTD Minnow + GTD Bastion + GTD Minnow (refitted) add .5 days

From today, add each choice, then add 1 week for final assembly, and you'll get the final release date.

For the FS2 version:
Ask GE

Yeah, that and it just doesn't seem as cool as playing something 'exclusive' to the demo and such.

Well the demo for TMA when I release it is the first mission but Just for you I`ll release two versions of the campaign file (let's face it. It's five minutes work to edit the campaign file so that you can have two versions for people who have played the demo and for those that haven't)

[Knight Templar]

you don't have to go to all that trouble, besides, I:'ll probably forget what happened by then anyways.



damn you, getting me to accept your weirding ways

[karajorma]

To be honest I`d been thinking of doing it anyway I generally didn`t play demos until recently cause I couldn`t be bothered to play exactly the same missions again

[Hippo]

NOTICE: The demo will be comprised of 5 missions, all mods are included, with models, table INSERTS and maps. Voice will be included if everyone who applied will send me a voice sample at [email protected] so i can give yu a part and a script.

[Black Wolf]

Sorry - I just reformatted recently, yet to reinstall FS1. And I've really realized how much of a ***** FRED 1 is to use after being used to FRED 2 for so long.

[Hippo]

Mission 5 needs a debreifing, and testing.
Black wolf is now converting from FS1 to FS2, so the FS2 demo may be out sooner than expected.
Need status report from Nuclear1. (mission 3)
Need voice actors.
Need beta testers, and MOD testers.
Need one FS1 fredder for mission 4
Would like someone who can draw shvans, and interiors of ships to render a second logo or sorts.
Would like another converter or two.

Mission 1 and 2 are done, except for response from testers (you know who you are), and voices, they are also packaged and ready to ship(minus voice)
