After a brief downtime and switching to a different forum system, the official forums are back online. Check us out at Tiberian-eclipse.sagefans.net
We are still working on the site so please bear with us while we fix everything up. In the mean time, enjoy the new forums!
=============================================================================
Its been almost a month now since our last post and a lot has been going on. So far we've been working every day to develop the idea of "What should define C&C4". There's been a lot of great ideas thrown around, and some not so great ones, but progress is moving forward. We're working on hashing out a few models and concepts, drafting the storyline, and coordinating everyone together.
Additionally, I would like to take this time to mention that a majority of the team currently has finals, so progress has been slowed to a crawl(er) this past week, however things should pick back up onces finals are through.
I know Coolness7 has got everyone's hopes up on the website. I'd like to take this time to say that development is still continuing, but considering the mod is far far far from done, there is no rush to release something half-assed to the community. That being said, here's what we've got so far:
A number of model concepts, gameplay concepts, unit ideas, wallpapers, etc. We also have a forum being built and a chatroom. You'll see all of this once the site goes live. Now, information will be intermitten at best on the site with the majority of the content developed as the mod progresses, but we still want to give you some eye candy so there will be a few things for you when the site does go live.
In the meantime, we still have our moddb page which you can visit easily by going to Tiberianeclipse.com (it redirects here currently). When the site goes live youll notice the url will redirect to our new site.
Also, incase I didn't spam it enough everywhere, we have a new twitter account! Keep track of our mod and daily lives at Twitter.com and watch the mod progress. This is a good way to keep in contact with us, follow development, and guide the mod as it gets further into development.
I wish I had some progress to show you ... oh wait, PizzaAtomica posted the floater ... *shrugs* oh well, aside from that I can't reveal whats in the wet works (not to be confused with EA's skunk works) but by the next post we should have a number of things to show off.
One last thing, we have a few vacancies we need to fill.
- Texture Artists (For some reason we cant find anyone to slap some photoshop paint on a rock)
- Modelers (I need about 2 more really good, fast modelers who can follow directions and respond quickly.)
- Website Admins / Moderators (When the website goes live, I won't have time to dedicate to running the site. Therefore I want to put it out there that I'll need a couple of people to organize information, make quality graphics with photoshop/illustrator, know HTML/PHP/CSS/jQuery, and generally moderate the site and the information being posted. This is a UPCOMING POSITION once the site opens.)
- Concept Artists (This is a call out to ANYONE. If you like to draw and generally fantasize, send us your concepts for consideration. Contributers will be acknowledged on the website. If your concept art is outstanding and you are willing to draft concepts from requests, then we may consider accepting you into the team)
Oh and before I forget, we may need a new Project Coordinator once Coolness7 sees I posted this ;)
Cheers and heres to the future of C&C!

Transmission Intercepted ... rerouting signal...
Don't worry you guys, I have Pizza working on a little something for you ;)

I'd like to help you with the models... but I just take WAY to mutch time to make a simple ( but at the same time GODLIKE ) model.
Just modeled or textured too?
The only thing I r good for is website moderator and crappy concept :(
Concepts are just that. no one on the team is as good as PizzaAtomica, but Shirken compensates for uber modeling abilities. Show us what you got.
I do have the ideas too, except I don't have the time to draw them. Full timers ain't gonna get free very easily. Me as a forum mod, nah, I got the feeling I won't be one due to my personal problems with the you-know-who-who-failed-us. But you admins will decide whether to take me or not. ;)
So anyway, we'll see how it goes by the time the official TE website opens. ;)
If you guys need me I can be a Mod on the website. I mostly know HTML and BBCode, have Gimp and Inkscape and can make some pretty stuff, in addition to the concept work I do for the team. BTW, I have hella AP testing right now, which is why no concepts have been showing up. I took my last one today, so concepts are forthcoming.
have any php / Jquery experience?
... no. Probably never mind then...
Thats ok, Im just trying to ease my own work load. We might need forum mod's tho. Right now everything is too quiet to moderate anything. lol.
I'd offer modeling, but I'm pretty much limiting myself to prop work, and I have a fairly slow work pace at the moment as I'm in a modeling course at a local trade school. On the bright side, I do my own textures whenever possible. But I should also note I'm a bit of a perfectionist which gets me hung up on individual projects for longer than I should be.
I encounter a friend of mine who is also a texture artist AND modeler. His name is Councilor from Deviantart, but sadly, he's a full-time 3D lecturer, I don't think he can help us when time isn't on his side unless he's commissioned. So, any ideas? Sorry about this one.
He might still be able to help us, but I can't guarantee about it. After all, he too is sad about C&C4's epic failure.
