Make your choice between Gold and TVWP. Which one do you better need?

Night Hammer · **Reply #61 on:** September 17, 2004, 09:09:45 am

Sorry guys......

Lightspeed · **Reply #62 on:** September 17, 2004, 01:00:03 pm

TVWP == Gold

so not a valid "decision"

Hey! Oh well, i guess you won't be getting that complementary space crack with that pizza... unless you pay me 10 more dollars for an extra pizza!

Why, of course, Kosh. Did you need to ask?

*Cats run off to fetch dubloons

Meh. Gold. Who needs it? I'd give my entire vault for TVWP.

Seriously, i've been monitoring this campaign...since...ever.

Can't wait for you to finish it...and for me to play it, of course. The early moments of Sol's history were never really documented very well...no campaigns or anything about it. Except this one, of course. Must...have...TVWP!111!1!!1oneone

Oh, and are you sure you wouldn't prefer souls to gold?

Lightspeed · **Reply #65 on:** September 17, 2004, 06:02:39 pm

What i'd really like is a lot of free time.

Blitzerland · **Reply #66 on:** September 17, 2004, 06:06:04 pm

You don't have to work on Fs2 all the time. Take a break. If you do not, you'll end up like WMCoolman.

Enjoy life. Enjoy Fs2. What's the point of working on something if you can't enjoy it

Oh, and if you have a job, cannot help you there.

But not gone gold........

Blitzerland · **Reply #68 on:** September 17, 2004, 08:35:48 pm

Yeah, when I first saw the TVWP=gold, I cried with joy. Then I looked at my last post...and remembered. Then, I shed tears of sorrow.

Eishtmo · **Reply #69 on:** September 18, 2004, 12:11:41 am

Scariest thing kidddies, we're still working on the FIRST CHAPTER of the TVWP. There are a lot more to come.

TopAce · **Reply #70 on:** September 18, 2004, 05:07:14 am

A lot more to come and a lot more to go ...

Taristin · **Reply #71 on:** September 18, 2004, 08:29:12 am

First is always the hardest...

The second chapter will have

of the first's models, so all of that work should be done, for the most part... (Save for the new models)

Blitzerland · **Reply #72 on:** September 18, 2004, 09:25:16 am

If the second chapter takes you too long, I could always round up some lackeys for you.

Lightspeed · **Reply #73 on:** September 18, 2004, 09:32:14 am

Well, considering the short amount of time TVWP has been in active production, it's amazing how far we progressed yet.

Blitzerland · **Reply #74 on:** September 18, 2004, 01:25:30 pm

Pardon this niave question, but my cats have something to ask of you. They want to know how long this project HAS been in active production.

Silly cats.

TopAce · **Reply #75 on:** September 18, 2004, 02:01:29 pm

Something correlating to Fish?

That depends on how you define "active". It's a bit of a long story. Here's a summary:

It started out as just a mod by Solatar and Thor, and they were bouncing around ideas for doing missions throughout the entire T-V war timeline. Then I came on and started looking for stuff we could use... staff, models, etc. At some point we recruited Eishtmo, who provided us with a timeline and the hint of a backstory.

We finally got serious when I wrote the storyline for chapter 1, as we then had a mission outline and a structure for the first chapter of the campaign. I was kind of running the campaign myself at that point, as everybody was incredibly busy. Over the course of a year, I managed to scrounge up enough models to make a basic Terran fleet. Then we started FREDding, albeit very slowly.

Then, two very fortuitous things happened in quick succession: Blaise Russel and Lightspeed.

That's when we really got active. BR has been churning out missions like crazy, and LS has been doing similarly great work with graphics and cleaning up our models (as well as doing some table reengineering and FREDding on the side). In addition to them, we have Raa and Galemp doing models, Lt. Cannonfodder doing cutscenes, and Flipside doing music.

So that about brings us to the present day. Each paragraph covers approximately one year.

Blitzerland · **Reply #77 on:** September 18, 2004, 04:42:40 pm

That about answers it.

For two years you guys mostly just planned and brainstormed?! Well...at least that means the story should be REALLY good

I'm glad to hear that you're making progress. You should hear the cats purr.

Oh! Oh! When you guys start beta testing...let me know...

*composure lost*

PLEASE LET ME BETA TEST IT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

*composure regained*

Good luck guys. This is the one campaign i'm actually truly excited about (Inferno comes in second).

TrashMan · **Reply #78 on:** September 18, 2004, 05:33:07 pm

I really hope you guys do a good job. I can help if help is needed.

b.t.w. - do re-do the stanadard FS1&" capship turrets, they are horrible. In fact, here, I allready rebalanced all capship turrets, so:

and yes...the big turrets might still use more punch

Actually all the weapons are going to be adjusted according to their proportionate damage. Don't worry, we got it covered.
