NEWS FLASH: Our very own website has now been launched! www.swbattlecry.com


May the 4th be with you fellow BattleCry fans!

We have some awesome stuff to show you guys today.

Before we get onto the juicy stuff though, I would like to take the time to say goodbye to long time 2D artist 411remnant and 3D artist Gertmanus - his stay was brief, but we wish him luck in his new job!

Important announcements:

  • Web designer Mandosis has spent approximately 3 months getting our website sorted, and we're all pleased to say that it is now live! Check it out at www.swbattlecry.com
  • We have a new look on moddb and crydev.net and we will be changing our headers/profile pictures on facebook and twitter soon
  • We're digging the support on Facebook, we now have >1400 likes! We also have >200 Twitter followers including Tony Dyson ‏ @AnthonyDyson, the guy who built R2-D2!
  • Thanks go out to Darren over at vgrevolution.com for interviewing us: T.co and we'd also like to thank devsmalltalk for interviewing our modeller Deforges a few weeks ago: T.co

As always, we've managed to recruit some new members who will be creating some awesome things over the next few months:

  • 'Varegg' (3D artist, the new gun man in town)
  • 'Erica Szalkowski' (2D artist)
  • 'Javid Ali' (animator)
  • 'Nima Dh' (animator)
  • 'Richard Goulet' (sound artist)
  • 'Justin S' (also a sound artist)
Now, here's what you've all been waiting for, our beautiful screenshots!

3D modeller Sharkybg has been hard at work making the interior for our kick-ass Snowspeeder:

In other news:

Sound artists Calum (tunednoise) and Altureus have been polishing up hundreds of voice overs (a HUGE task) and we'll do our best to get some of them out to you guys via moddb and our website.

Sharkybg has recently added new interior sections to Hoth which look awesome and will add an interesting gameplay element to the map. More on this later!

That's all for now folks,

We hope you had/have a good day! The BattleCry team.

Hey, I've been watching your game for a while and i am very excited about that . I would realy love to see your star wars game out , but there is one thing. Aren't you worried about getting your game shut by owners ?
It is hardly possible that they will let you release it commercially and it is highly possible that they will stop you from releasing it.
Are you going to get their permission ? Have you been thinking about that ? As it can stop your project and hard work will be wasted. What you guys are going to do ?

It will not be entirely wasted, everyone on the team does the work for the love of it as well as boosting and pimping their portfolios. Obviously we would love to make the game and have the pleasure of playing it with eachother and our fans. It's all uncertain but we continue as normal. Thanks for stopping by!

Could there be a coop version for people creating their own servers? Say surviving waves of imperial troops or eliminating them totally which achieves you victory, and with each round you progress through you get bonuses, say choosing a certain weapon that's op or unlock able in later on stages. So you start off with a normal blaster and just like in SWBF2, an option will pop out saying if you would like to play as a hero, but instead you can get a weapon?
