It's back, but different. A lot of my original gameplay ideas either weren't possible, or worked poorly in Homeworld 2's engine. That's the main reason why it's been on hold for so long. Recently, I've made some changes to the mod's core gameplay that allow this mod to come back to life.
No release estimate though. I've learned never to set a release date again. Never. Again.
However, if you are interested in helping me alpha-test, then please let me know sometime soon.
When you set a release date, set it when you are polishing, or give a very wide release range, both ways you can get it done, and the second option lets you out of some pressure of a deadline, since you only have to worry about the other end (make the second date VERY far away from the first ;) )
That's pretty much what I did. I set the "release month" for November, and I /thought/ all that I had left to do was polishing. But, errors and a myriad of complications arose, and that forced me to take a few steps back.
But, I think the current release date for 2014 fits your suggestion quite well :P
Looking brilliant! And who gives a **** about release dates. I want a mod worth playing not a bunch of place holders and bugged up ships that spaz my computer causing it to implode and spreading god given shrapnel into my eyes so i dont see how unbalanced the mod is in the last few milliseconds of me and my computers life.
Will it still have team colour bridges???
Everything you've seen so far will still be in the mod. The only thing that's changing is the gameplay. It's not necessarily better or worse, but it's different from what I had originally wanted.
Lol, here's what you do with release dates... don't set them until you are completely finished with a release. Finish a release, set a release date a couple weeks away, and work on "marketing" during that time.
When I'm finished with the release version of the mod, it will be released asap. I'm not big on marketing :P
Whoa I honestly thought this was in Sins Of A Solar Empire for a sec, it really looks a lot like it! Haha at any rate I'll continue keeping an eye on this :P
