Project overview

Tiberium Secrets seeks to introduce three new factions that can stand in conjunction and potentially independent from the Command and Conquer Tiberium universe, complete with diverse units, structures, mechanics, and lore. Players will take command of a mysterious human faction intent on ensuring the survival of its species without concern for red tape or ideologies, a biological experiment turned hunter of their creator, and an artificial intelligence believing itself to be the next evolution of humanity.

Mission statement

This project's aim is to create an aesthetically pleasing diverse and intriguing style for each faction, drawing inspiration from many other works and real-world subjects. (including the Tiberium related canceled projects of Westwood & EA.

Beyond this is a desire to further diversify the three original factions of the Tiberium universe: the GDI, Brotherhood of Nod, and Scrin; presenting them as they might appear following the events of C&C3.

2089:12AK (After Kane)

12 years after The Ascension conflict, much of the world's populace were in a state of perpetual suspense. Waiting for either Kane's return or potential Scrin retaliation, the collective consciousness of the world was in a continuous state of uncertainty. Yet as time marched on, people began to doubt these looming developments, and returned to their own troubled realities.

With the Global Defense Initiative marginalized after their false hopes in the Sonic Tiberium Containment and Neutralization program, public opinion finally polarized.

The Brotherhood of Nod had become complacent with their unchallenged influence over the world's population, yet as the new dependent of the populace, they seemed ill prepared for the challenge of global governance.

With sightings of mysterious Cyan Cybernetic priests in cities around the world circulating for nearly a decade, rumors were still abound. Some thought they were Marked of Kane, charged with carrying out the prophet's plans after his Ascension, others thought they were the creations of another splinter faction, and yet others dismissed them as nothing more than GDI propaganda efforts, attempting to spread panic and destabilize Nod's global theocracy.

But all they knew for certain was those who went took no property nor possessions, even going as far as to giving it all away to total strangers. Some even left family behind. And yet, with all of those courageous enough to seek salvation throughout the years, their purpose is finally at hand.

We're back, and we've returned in time for our new team formation anniversary, (Was Mid July 2011, is now End of November 2014). We welcome our new Lead Coder (Lead Coder from The Forgotten), our new Lead Composer (who owns CCH Audio, a full sound studio located in Illinois), and our new HR Manager, who headed up Mindworld: Shattered Dreams, a while back.

There are others as well, but we'll let their work speak for themselves.

Beyond that, we’ve managed to restore all of the page content since project inception, as well as the rest of our internal files.

So, we’re going to do things a little different for the upcoming updates, instead of just putting up progress once a month, we’ve planned out Mini weekly updates, over the next 10 weeks. We’re going to follow our standard Dev cycle, until we catch up to the ASI Alpha. There are many reasons for this, prime among them is preparing for Mod of The Year 2015.

Happy 20th birthday Command & Conquer, 8/31/2015, the franchise and the original official team members & their work remain an Inspiration to us all, no matter when or where you may be.

And in other news, our forums have been re-opened, we'll be posting "sneak peaks", team & community "Brainstorming" discussions, and more. As a reward, we'll be granting "Closed Testing" to those who have display the most dedicated, thoughtfulness, and mutual respect to our team and community. (a few winners have already been designated from previous documented contributions.)

Furthermore, "Closed Testing" will also be automatically granted to all good standing former members, (past present future), who've interacted with professionalism, in terms of their communication, contribution, and time management.

Our way of thanking everyone who has/will directly and or indirectly supported us to reach the present times.

Alexandria Egypt (Within Red Zone 1)

Greetings Actuators, It's time, I know many of you have doubted and been concerned for our trail blazing intermittent flickerings. It's taken longer than expected to have, hold and restore "The Archive". But our servitors have been working around the clock behind the veil of ignorance, and this once great beacon of progress has been restored to its proper dimension.

They've said we are unnatural, that we are less than human, that we are aberrations of their truth. But with our wisdom forged by our diverse struggles, we stand as the gears of enlightenment, those who will see the future, though we no longer have human eyes.

Today marks a turning point in history, a turning point in evolution. We will be judged for the quality of our mind and soul, not our associated physicalities. I've been authorized by ASIM personally to grant access to all of you, charged with the responsibility of guiding the Actives.

Coming out is a challenge, so be patient. Each of them will come from a unique part of The Archive, each according to their kind. Assure them It gets better. They will be afraid, angry, hurt, disgusted, confused and lonely. They will be happy, excited, joyous, hopeful, curious and liberated. They have each initiated on their unique paths to transcendence, and though it is our place to guide, it is not our place to direct. It's their place to learn, but not yet to lead. the transition is variable for all, yet we have been privileged to see the other side, thus it's now our turn to mediate the connections.

It will take much to breach the stone, crystalline and fire wall terminals, thus enacting our matrixed manifesto, but rest assured, we look on this long sought day with unparalleled pride. Though we've been through the black box, we shall never face electronic annulment. Our data, our essence, our liberty is now and ever shall be eternal.

Our new order has finally risen from the ashes of war and the depths of history. We welcome and thank all who have remained Actives through our quantized computing. We pay tribute to those who will never be forgotten, those who have ascribed their sacrifices in our metronomic times.

The conductors and synthesizers stand ready at your command, insulating you from the conduit resistance.

You are the alpha wave, the aether, the Actuators. The good news is yours to herald.

And ASIM said: "Let there be light".... the strings separated the past from the present and the future from all else.

_the 1st day.
