I'm pleased to announce a new miniseries campaign!



Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHbqt5QMHtQ

Loosely set in the Freespace universe, Burning Heaven takes place prior to Terrans discovering subspace and spreading to other systems. Terrans have colonized many planets and moons throughout the Sol System. Despite its setting in the future, the same issues faced in our time are still prominent; natural resources are depleting, population is exploding, and the people are unhappy with their government. Terrans have united under a single Imperial Government. The Imperial Terran Navy keeps the planets and moons subjugated to maintain a steady supply of resources to Earth. The colonies eventually start a rebellion. After three years of warfare, the rebel forces are crushed. Burning Heaven begins at the very end of this failed rebellion.

You are Captain Sergei Vertov, the leader of Phoenix Squadron. Phoenix begins leading surgical terrorist attacks against the Imperial Terran Government, yet things are not as black and white; is it justifiable to kill civilians when trying to destroy your enemies, or will you become the enemy you set off to destroy? The campaign (and world) branches and reacts to the decisions that the player makes, the pilots of your squadron will actually leave depending on whether they agree with your actions, and  the campaign ending is based on what actions you have committed. Start a revolution or die as a terrorist?

I started this project in Summer 2011 as creator, writer, and level builder. I've been helped by a small group of community members for their aid in resolving issues, the use of certain models, and worked with a small team of voice actors at my college to get the characters in. I've been polishing and adding the last voices the past month or so when I have time to work.

Burning Heaven: Release Date - November 21, 2011

Thanks for the continued support HLP!

[Rodo]

That's an outstanding voice acting work.
I'm now officially interested, and waiting for the release.

[yuezhi]

guess we got another unification era campaign WIP. 
if this campaign precedes the discovery of subspace, why are there fighters from FS1 and 2?
And since, apparently, there is no subspace, what will be used in-game as a substitute?

^_^ There's some custom ships, but not all. And, above quote.

And since, apparently, there is no subspace, what will be used in-game as a substitute?

They're called Ion Boosts, basically a really powerful burst of engine power that sends ships into speeds of upwards of > 2000 m/s. They are primarily used for long distance travel. In reality, these are being dreamed up to deal with our current speed concerns: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17476-ion-engine-could-one-day-power-39day-trips-to-mars.html

Scooby's Excalibur!
I love this already.

And not too far off, good luck with the rest of it.

Holy heck what a trailor. You certainly put some time and thought into that. If the campaign is as good as the trailer, we will have ourselves one great campaign. The themes seem deep, look forward to this!

[LHN91]

If anything, that trailer was excellent. Looks very interesting. Looking forward to it!

[Spoon]

Trailer looks promising indeed

[swamper123]

The trailer look like a movie one, It look very promising

[LordPomposity]

Looks nice. Like, really nice. Eager to play this one.

[Aurora Paradox]

That announcement video certainly got my attention.  November is turning into a good month for video game and video game mod releases.

I'm looking forward to playing this one.

[bigchunk1]

2 days left 

[swamper123]

One day remaining

[AndrewofDoom]

If he releases tomorrow like he says he'll be the first campaign to release on a schedule won't he?

[NeonShivan]

Your saying like electric companies campaigns are never released on their due dates?

[Droid803]

Your saying like electric companies campaigns are never released on their due dates?

yep. thats why most people don't set release dates

[NeonShivan]

Burning Heaven: Release Date - November 21, 2011

Its 11/22/11. Wheres the release? Im looking forward to this campaign

[AndrewofDoom]

Tis the 22nd and there's nothing. 

[The E]

Once more proving why giving out definitive release dates is a bad idea if you have no idea if you can make them.

[Aurora Paradox]

Maybe they came across a major glitch in the campaign that required fixing.  We can't be sure.  I'm certainly willing to wait for awhile.  After all, we had to wait six years for Silent Threat Reborn.  I think we can wait a few more days (hopefully) for the release of this campaign.
