Hey fellas and felletes,

What have you guys been working on at this point? Not trying to give connotations to "is it almost out yet?", 1.9 releases when it releases, but I'm interested in the development side. I watch all the streams on youtube and it looks like you guys are pretty far along. Curious if you guys could give us a little understanding of what you guys have been/are/will be putting a lot of time into.

i.e. tweaking a new units/features with balancing, optimization, map making, and what have you.

Guys kick *** and I am loving how 1.9 is shaping up, really interested on what yall have been up to on the dev side

Looks like you guys have been felshing out artillery into three tiers, light short range, medium intermediate range, and heavy long range.

Curious how and why you guys came to that conclusion to put a bit of elbow grease in in fleshing out artillery.

So far it goes

GLA:
Rocket Buggy
Grad

ECA:
Mortar Carrier
Claymore
Pandora

China:
Inferno cannon
Nuke Cannon
Sunstorm

Russia:
Buratino
Gorgon
Volga

USA:
Tomahawk Launcher

If I were a betting man, I feel like you guys are going to eventually reintroduce the scud launcher for the GLA as their heavy long range arty.

I would assume that you guys are also eyeing up a short range US arty unit since Tomahawk really peforms medium and long range roles very adequately, unless drone hive fills short range? I dont use it much so I wouldn't know.

Keep up the great work guys, this is truly what Geneals was originally supposed to be, and you guys are doing hell of a service to the original vision the devs had stored.

Just wanted to express some quick gratitude,

I've been playing ROTR since 2010 when I was 13 years old and stopped playing Generals around 2015-2016 or so, about a year ago I decided to take a trip down memory lane and redownloaded Generals and (finally) got ROTR working with the newer quality of life features that come with gentool. Back in the summer before I moved for my Masters program, I decided to check the moddb page to reread all the lore and see old renders of units that I was obsessed with as a young teen and saw that you guys are going to get 1.9 and then 2.0 out of the door.

I experienced a childlike excitement that I haven't felt for video games in literal years, since getting Halo Reach in 2010. The nostalgia of having genuine excitement for a video game, let alone one as close to me as ROTR coming back from the dead was in itself magical. Not even talking about what caused the nostalgic excitement.

I think most of us played this mod back when we were teens, and now we've grown up. I just want to thank you guys for fulfilling a childhood fantasy of mine and finishing this masterpiece. This has always been the true Zero Hour successor to me, from the lore to the factions to the gameplay and design, I was extremely immersed in this mod for a sizeable portion of my late childhood, and it feels like I'm f**** dreaming now that ROTR is back under development.

I watch every stream on youtube thanks to Mal.

I check this page at least 3 times a week for an update.

Thank you shockwave productions for making me feel like a little kid again.

You guys should keep the original as well as these two works of art

Make the cockpit(?) hollow and it'll look just as well since you guys updated it's render as well

not a demand, just throwing it out there, I LOVED the original

Have you guys made a lot new maps for 1.85? I mean I understand that it isn't THAT important but the game get's slightly stale from playing the same maps over and over. I mean hey I'm not complaining either way, this **** is free lol

Also, do you guys plan on adding the fanmade campaign over on the forums built into 1.85/ will it have any effect on the official ROTR lore?

like always, keep doing a kickass job.

they told us the LAST thing that is consuming their time is the GLA recycler system
then it's just polishing, balancing, and all that good stuff

so yeah, maybe December if we play we we're all good boys and girls this year. just don't pout or cry

I'm sorry if this sounds like fishing for I really don't mean it to, but

Now we know that the new Multiplayer is one of the reasons 1.85 is taking so long to take, that and the overhaul of the RF, have you guys got all of the main objectives out of the way and you guys are just, polishing, per say?

I don't care about a release date, I'm a loyal fan. When it's out it's out, enough said. I'm just curious if you guys have finished all all of the major projects for 1.85.

Much love SWR

When the Tiger Gunship says "FIRE ZE MISSLES" when using it's star-streaks

is that a reference to what I think it is?

The name "interceptor" doesn't really fit the Plane's role anymore lol..

well we can just keep it since the GLA prrooaably doesn't really know that much of a difference between aircraft roles lol

is there any way that we could see the Rocket Buggy get different versions as well?

Not that it's a high priority, since it's just one little unit

but I see it be fit for the RB is one of the most crude, handcrafted units in the GLA's arsenal, right under the Marauder and Scorpion

keep up the amazing work guys, I am beyond hype for 1.85
