Merry Christmas everyone and my dear friends :)
This is nothing but just a signal of life and bright future to every vortex mod support and lover
Back 11 months !! ago I declared c&c the vortex to be frozen due to my medical studies and only god knows that I didn't touch my computer for anything but to do my medical researches
But this Ice Age is almost over, soon in few weeks the vortex beasts will invade every Gen ZH fan screen
We shall rejoice in the prophecy of the vortex, the war of all ages the war of all nations the war beyond universes!!!
As for what you can expect, I know I have abandoned everyone for long time enough already and as thank you for everyone who still believes in me and this mod I have decided to release an alpha build with GDI and NOD only without any special powers, only a war with what you can build and super weapons, the reason is basically I still need to organise the amount of upgrades every faction can do as we have a small cap unfortunately in Gen ZH!!
So making them happen will take time and basically needs the other factions to take shape first to plan everything tightly and still keep an enjoyable fair game play :)
Where is vortex now from achieving this? Curgently NOD faction is almost perfect for a good standard, once I finish my exams in the coming few weeks I'll do my best to standardize the GDI factions in terms of coding, fire power and unit voices and such.. ..once that is achieved the first alpha version shall be released :)
As final words don't worry it's not dead it's just real life is more powerful than me to ignore in the last months but the dark age is almost over my friends :)
I know I'm saying that with shame and I know I don't deserve it but it's breaking my heart to miss another MOTY event, thanks for everyone who still votes for this mod
Good luck with your exams. We will be patiently waiting for your return :)
I can't wait too, it's really been long time :)
Crap, misclick. Wanted to upvote you, gave you a minus, sorry. :(
I up voted him again :) thx for the support :)
of course you have my vote, a vote full of hope and good wishes.
You still planning on including RA factions to the game?
Most definitely :) that's the idea of the mod in the 1st place, however working on all factions in the same time is waste of time and effort bcoz in the end u will take longer without providing anything that can say it's completed
Makes sense. And what form you want to give them. I mean, Allies will have the designs of RA1, 2 or 3, Soviets the same? Please dont say that they will have units from all three :(
Does it include Yuri and Japan Empire?
Allies will 99% just in ra3 style
Soviets mid way between ra2 and 3 . Kinda close to ra2 feeling with more ra3 like skins
Empire and Yuri are just like the way they are originally, however Yuri comes late in my priorities bcoz I'm still figuring out best solutions to implement mind control powers :)
Allies look best in RA3 style. Thought some of the units from previous games looked fine :) Like RA2 IFV or RA1 Mobile GAP.
So Soviets are RA2 designing with RA3 textures... excellent choice :) I have some... sketches of similar kind for Soviets, like right now I am making a slightly different-looking RA2 Apocalypse.
I can't say that's it's ra2 with ra3 textures for the Soviets is an accurate thing, but some designes tend to have the feeling from Ra2
Like the war miner : Moddb.com
And stuff like the flak cannon will be back
It won't be Ra 2 or 3 it will something between them :)
Glad to hear it :)
I dont want to squeeze int, but I want to help somehow with Soviets and Allies, even if with just some sketches.
Sure why not :) but not yet tho it's early to draw the lines of RA factions yet
:) I will be doing it in the meantime, its something I am doing anyway. :)
We are one, in the Khala!
