The time has come, for the release of the AHTW demo.

After 2 years of problems, hurdles, dissappearing staff members, and 3 new hard drives and restarts, the demo is finally done.

I would like to first personally thank the staff, who in the last 2 weeks, went from a leisurly pace of testing, to a greuling triple time march:

Whitelight, Alkabeth Angel, Goober5000, and CobaltStarr for testing.
Hunter, and Ferret for doing some voice acting.
GalacticEmperor for listening to my constant questions.
Goober5000 (again) for letting me use his orion Nameplates.
Hunter (again) for providing hosting...
Ulundel (formerly TenOfTwelve) for making the AHTW logos.
Killadonuts; even though he dissappeared long ago, he helped shape the project into what it is now.
Shivannode, for calling the Shivans, 'Shavudans' and kick-starting the idea in my head.

Now what you have all been waiting for, complete with;
5 Detailed & challenging missions,
A fleet of Orions, looking how they should,
Partial voice acting done by an all british cast,
And an in-depth storyline.

And now, without further ado,

Nice one! Good to see stuff getting done around here.

I'll give it a go over the weekend.

This is for FS1 ONLY isn't it?

Hippo · **Reply #4 on:** November 12, 2003, 06:08:54 pm

for now...

Was hoping it was for FS2, as the game is much more worth modding.

:wtf:FS1?

Whitelight · **Reply #7 on:** November 12, 2003, 10:14:22 pm

Its for all those who have FS1 an have waited so long.. Behold FS1 and AHTW LIVES HA HA HA HA.

(edit) Only Hippo can say what the future is for AHTW As he stated above its for FS1 for now..

There's a certain atmosphere to FS1 that's different from FS2. FS1 is cool in its own way, and deserves a new campaign every once in a while.

True, but I doubt that many people have FS1 anymore.

*Has FS1.*

*Will Play*

Hunter · **Reply #11 on:** November 13, 2003, 03:22:54 am

There's a few people floating around with FS1. And if this needs to be ported to FS2 when it's done, I'm sure that can be arranged.

retro-chic

Damn... means I'll have to install FS1 again.

(actually, it has the advantage that I can easily mod FS2 but -play user campaigns on FS1)

karajorma · **Reply #14 on:** November 13, 2003, 05:03:56 am

I don't know if you speak german Hippo but if you do you might want to try pimping your demo here.

My german is non-existant but as far as I can tell it's an Amiga FS1 mod forum. You should find some people willing to play an FS1 mod there.

Indeed. Just... indeed.

*downloads* Nice one, Hippo! Wow, a 2-year demo... that's quite something. I'll sticky this.

Hunter · **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2003, 07:05:24 am

I think he means 2 year project..

Setekh · **Reply #17 on:** November 13, 2003, 07:11:02 am

I know, but 2-year demo is funnier.

Hippo · **Reply #18 on:** November 13, 2003, 02:43:51 pm

it was decided to have a demo about 2 year ago... the project is about 2.5... It will be ported eventually, whether the FSC team takes it up after awakenings, or I get the staff to help, t will happen, but that time is not now... I've already gotten 3 people joining the staff, since some people are noticing that the campaign hasn't fallen apart again... If a group of people would like to port it, contact me, and i'll aprove them porting it... But untill Im not the only FREDer (i may not any more, since i have 3 PMs waiting

), just getting the FS1 version done will take my full attention. But, if you want to, you are welcome to port it, just PM me irst, so that there arent 3 people doing it at once, seperately...

Psst.. post it in the news... and Setekh, Highlight it.
