happy birthday :)

Yeah, campers in our spawns will be about as useful and dangerous as campers in eg TF2's initial spawn. They hardly harm anyone, will only cause their team to lose and you don't need to kill them. Only the Juggernaut is your target, and it just so happens he cant enter spawns, let alone camp in them.

No, no, we got that covered :p

We've identified at least two major crashes that we didn't know of. When I fix them + improve performance, the initial experience for the open beta will be a lot better, and we got the current playtesters to thank for that ;)

patience, young padawan. Almost there.

It's ready for release for as far as we can test it. But we need a short beta period to stress test it. It's very possible there are performance issues or issues that show up only at a full server - and we haven't tested it on a full server yet. But that's finally about to change :) If some showstoppers show up, I'll spend some extra caffeinated nights on this, if they don't, we'll be out of beta in no time ;)

lol. I've got two kids, not three, you should know that by now :D

No

Yeah it does, but leave the worrying about the crash to me ;)

actually, we're older than ND, I'd hardly call us 'new' :D

Just don't look how long we're in development then :D ( actually a little longer than ND :p )

Do you guys have an irc chan or something?

Well, initially we were unclear about this; and we used both terms to describe the Savior IX weapon. To set things straight, we update our website and went with just the railgun story. This is also what the behavior of the weapon will be, it's more or less a Quake-style railgun, with an instantaneous, powerful beam being shot.

Some attentive reading there ;)

No, for starters the concepts are very different. We have a central player in common with The Hidden, but we're much more similar to CTF or CS's VIP scenario (or even AvP). Second, the hidden is invisible, we play with an invulnerable alien and have a more complex gameplay with the railgun/radar twist. Third, our alien will be playabll (we still need to update our faqs). Number four, we have two teams combatting eachother for the hit, where in the hidden there's just one team if I understand correctly (haven't played it yet). And for the record, we've been around a lot longer than The Hidden ;). People tend to compare gameplays where one player is central, but our game will have a very different feel, and isn't in any way based on/influenced by The Hidden (which would be quite weird, since we predate them ;) ).

That would've had more effect if you told me in person or on our own forums, I don't check here that often :p

I'll update it with our next newsupdate.

Imagine a world where more and more aliens keep appearing out of the blue. When they feel endangered (e.g. someone gets too close), they lash out and go on a rampage, and nothing can possibly stop them. You could try to avoid them and attempt to co-exist, but that is not a sustainable situation. It is only a matter of time before conflicts escalate, one way or the other. Our fear of them just made us attack on a large scale first.

lillbrorsan, yours nor ours isn't the first mod about an alien invasion. (for the record, this is the first time I hear about your mod ;) ).

But even if the story is similar, both mods are completely different. We are making a team-based multiplayer fps mod, yours is a single player action/adventure.

Kinda unfair to rate us a 1 because we happen to have an alien invasion in our storyline too (that idea has been around since War Of The Worlds in 1938 ;) ). But good luck anyways!
