Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
OK, here's a question I was afraid to ask...

What still needs to be done to BWO to complete it?

Tweaking missions, voices, and allot of work on the models. All three are proceeding simultaneously as time permits.

Well I'm in no hurry to play, so whenever it's done. Either way you can count I'll be definitely dl'ing it. I've been watching this ever since I played the demo. :)

 
Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
   For my part I'd rather have missions too hard than too easy, not impossibly hard mind you. But hard enough that it takes me a few tries to get it. The missions that I tend to remember were the hard ones for me personally . . . (Feint, Parry, Riposte . .. Slaying Ravana, etcetera). Though it's hard to balance . .. ideally I'd say that a good "hard" mission would be one that the player is satisfied to finished, and not frustrated enough to say "let's just get this damn thing over with already."

I don't want to have waited for years for BWO and finish it in a couple of hours

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
The install, last time it was discussed was going to be a standalone.

Meh, that will make the modpace very very big. Are you sure about that? BWO is close to FS, BtRL is not.

Well you'll have to play through twice to get it all so there is some good replayability factor in there :)

Nothing to do with closeness, everything to do with efficiency.

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
Well iv been waiting to play this campaign for what 8 years now back when freespace watch wasn't dead.   Its funny my name been in the  system for 8 years and i only posted like 5 times.     so im sure someone has ask this alrdy will there be any cut scenes in the campaign
FROM FS1
When the destroyers came for us, we attacked. Never had we been defeated. They were like the others: strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others: They did not die. We made our first retreat. We could forego one system. We left it to the destroyers and went elsewhere. But they followed. They hunted us. They followed us when we retreated, discovered where we lived.
For a long time we did not know why they chased us. They were no ordinary enemy. They did not seek our territory, our technology, our resources.
Now we know our crime was sin.

We wanted them at some point, but there's nobody to make them, and they're not all that important anyway.

The problem with cutscnees is that if they're going to be in there, they have to be damn good and serve a purpose. That takes talent which in turn takes time. In the end, this is just a project that's done in spare time, so you can see where there'd be trouble.

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
The majority of this community expects BWO never to be released.

If you release anything, you fail to live up to the expectations of your userbase.

You are doomed. Join my project, instead. We're remapping every ship in the game to be slightly, but not noticably, more orange.

I can see you take that "Extremely dull person with no friends" part very seriously :P
Yeah, I know you were waiting for a very nice sig, in which I was quoting some very famous scientist or philosopher... guess what?!? I wont indulge you...

Why, you ask? What, do I look like a Shivan to you?!?

So what was the verdict?  Voice acting or no voice acting?

Re: Things you want to know about BWO but were afraid to ask
Well, I suppose the release is still a ways off...

BTW - I heard you still have some high-polyfying to do.  Do you have any blockyish models?  If so, I might be able to help ;7 (you can see my previous work in my sig)

Yeah its a bit off yet.

And yeah we have htlizations to do still, and some are blockish if I'm not mistaken.

About helping I'd rather speak via PM (which I will)

I'm pretty sure they'll take that into account.
