The HK factory combat is ridiculously difficult and cheesy and needs to be looked at.

The Kaevee voice actor is absolutely terrible and makes a lot of people cringe.

There are times you'll get 3, 4 or even 5 different character drama cutscenes in the ship in a row - this isnt too bad but makes it feel a little bit like playing MGS4 and lessens the impact of each. Spacing these out would be nice.

Those things would probably go a long way toward making the mod seem more seamless, great work on the mod regardless.

We are moving hosts, don't worry, it's not disabled and everything is backed up multiple times. We planned on as little downtime as possible, but it will probably be a little while before everything's fixed up.

your accounts department will be sent a check for $0 certified mail shortly

we'd be onboard about finishing it if we had texture artists but we haven't got any staff in a very long time and those we have had have disappeared on us. if someone were to join that was skilled to finish up about the remaining 15% of the unit roster (honestly the majority of everything is done or can be completed in different ways than we thought), the mod could be released as originally intended and we might make plans for a second release. it really sucks that we are so close but the remaining pieces are vital to having something that isn't a mess.

the news post was simply to inform everybody that we can't continue in a holding pattern for staff recruitment and that we need to call it quits on a full-featured release at this rate rather than waiting around forever.

yo im 15 my uncle works for linux and i own five unlicensed copies of photoshop cs2. lets do this

the other modders at the sins forums are universally incompetent and i feel privileged to have made a half-finished mod that dwarfs most of their completed projects or eternal public alphas in quality

no, **** sins

we'd have to be pretty big and probably extremely questionable ******** to never fully deliver on a free project and then take people's money

Just to affirm, too, if we got some 3D/2D art staff I would absolutely continue supporting all our existing release plans into the future. I plan on doing tons of work already in preparation for the demo, and I have no time or burnout issues staying on.

fart

i dont think you underestimate the pure motivation of not wanting to work on a sins of a solar empire mod for 12 years

because youre really stupid

Xtremestudios.net convert the files from BIN to TXT with this

i think we are doing pretty okay without your help, thanks for your valuable feedback random idiot who posts endless multi-paragraph rambling comments comparing a video game mod to a cult

the resources will be "epic lulzery", "cake is a lie", and "teenage mutant ninja turtles". the frigates will be named after castlevania quotes, the biggest soviet ship is named legolas, and every unit says "remember the 90s????" when you select it

An update is in the works, we just want to make sure it's a decent size one rather than a bunch of little ones a few days apart :)

little known fact: swiss knight long predicted the name of the "wii u" on mumble

as far as i know they're impossible to uvmap

personally i think the "incredibly ashamed of working on a project this creepy dude had a hand in developing the base for" doctrine is op as hell

first release is vanilla, second will more than likely be rebellion. we could do diplomacy for not that much less but rebellion should come down in price by then anyway

how are you people in your early 20s

epic lulzery advice cat says your a failer - for the lose - adn this mod is goingi to Win the Internet 9000 times, 69, ftw, Danman Games

sins trinity is $5 for the next 4 hours, it doesnt get much cheaper than this folks

to be fair you probably should anyway, theres like 3 tracks. never have i said "hmm, i want to hear TEC THEME 1.OGG" to myself

Yes, the GOTY edition is just base Sins with an audio CD and a printed tech tree, so it'll work for the first release. Subsequent releases will likely require Rebellion.

we all salute your work on the halo mod, swiss knight. i am sure your hard work, on the halo mod, will be remembered fondly. my 555 golden manbabies will reminisce about the good days you shared with the halo mod

you should have said that before we added the mastre chief, from the awardwinning gamebox "Torus" series, as a new faction

I'd suggest if you can pick up vanilla Sins for cheap without the expansions doing that (most places sell Trinity for $20, so I'm surprised the original game's box copies haven't hit $10 or less), we're probably not moving to any of the Sins expansions in other releases except Rebellion in the future so there's no point paying for anything else.

pretty much this, we haven't ruled it out based on projections of the online community of rebellion but if we really wanted to port we would have started the process during entrenchment. rebellion doesn't add many new features since we've implemented them all a while ago in stock sins - "titans", corvettes, branching sub-factions (6 customizable sub-trees in DoV vs 2 minor factions), customizable ships, mines, and engine-level graphics updates.

at this point rebellion DoV would give you little more than ships that roll in turns better, weapons targeting slightly better, and shadows. and it would take even longer.

And it came to pass that Swiss Knight learned how to reverse the direction of entropy.

But there was now no developer to whom Swiss Knight might give the answer of the last question, for they had all defected to Danman Games millennia ago and been hunted to extinction through People Search. No matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too.

For another timeless interval, Swiss Knight thought how best to do this. Carefully, Swiss Knight organized the message.

The consciousness of Swiss Knight encompassed all of what had once been a Universe and brooded over what was now Chaos. Step by step, it must be done.

And Swiss Knight said, "oi, whats the action status"

And there was action status----
