Mod News Update

Be of great merriment, watchers of our humble mod, for the first taster release looms ominously, or ought I say promisingly, on the horizon!

Mod Progress

Much work has been done, evident in the recent flurry of new screenshots, many in-game, and our eye-candy demonstration video (if the eye-candy of implemented game content wasn't good enough). V0.1, the taster release, is going to be out in the near future; indeed this little morsel of game is coming closer to beta testing as I type, as much of the V0.1 tasting content is already implemented.

Having become proficient in the particle editor, I have also been hard at work besides my coding, as many will realise from the new video and some of the screens, working on new projectiles, explosions and shields, besides the large amount of coding.

More importantly to release-status, our graphics department have been doing an excellent job lately; promising some rather nice surprises for you even in this small taster, especially concerning the new weaponry and combat style in the game, besides of course getting our models made and exported for my Department to sink their coding teeth into.

Watch this space!

New Team Member!

The FW Mod welcomes Onasi to the mod, who joins my Department as a coder and is already working on the mod, specifically trying his newly-annointed coder skills on some nice GC code for you to have fun with when you play the game.

Hopefully he will find his time working with us (yes, I add devishly, he has to work under my direction, so I ask you, pray for his poor soul) enjoyable as well as productive, and we do of course offer him the warmest of welcome to our team.

The Future

V0.1 is obviously just the beginning. It is, of course, only a taster of far greater things to come, but realising we are releasing this to an optimistic public, we are going to make what we can of the relatively small - taster - amount of new content. Rest assured, though this may be only a taster, there will be a fair bit to 'taste' as it were, including a completely revamping of the original game content to provide a backdrop for the much more complex and realistic new content, but also something of a mod for you to play with besides the wonderful things we are giving to you, so it will be at least a semi-freestanding mod.

This brings us to V0.2 - on the road to a V1 release in the far flung future, we realise that V0.1 is a time-filler - I keep saying, a 'taster' - but it is after all, not a proper mod. V0.2 is intended to be released somewhat 'half way' to V1, and will be a fully functional mini-mod, with the initial prototypes of the advanced new tech tree coming in V1, as well as significantly more new content than V0.1 - add 'V0.2 Minimod' to your calendar!

Finally, thanks for reading and supporting our humble mod, and we hope you are waiting in eager anticipation for release!

Once again, faithfully
