Comments - SilentNomad

Hello, thank you for your comment. I believe the PharoHound is something that brings a bit more fresh air into ASI, being a very mobile and versatile unit.

Passion and obsession have different meanings Jist, about time you learn that. Your offer was made just so you could seem useful, you even admitted that yourself to me. This is my last post on the matter. Under you - all projects go to waist, I certainly didn't want that to happen to TEc seeing of it's past, so if a new generation of modders comes forward to us, we will pass the project on. Its final.

For God sake Jist, can you just for one time shut the hell up. "there should be another name in there somewhere between JPNYT ans Shriken" Oh I'm sorry, but I only added leaders into the list, not people who screwed around and were highly proclaimed "idea men" as a job title. You made the team quarrel in between themselves, not to mention about not being able to do anything productive. The assets are scattered, but that is because of how the team was, as I mentioned a sinking ship with people going in and out.

The only reason why assets got into TS, was because I talked to seth personally and since he was a member of our team as well, he asked for permission to use his own creations in his mod, other than that there was only some discussion and nothing more.

And can you get even more bloody pathetic? Advertising on a dying mod page? Sick. All you cause is trouble and negative feedback. At least have some sense of shame. But sadly you never change and never learn from your mistakes. Same as always Jist, same as in TEc.

Well we do not want to go around throwing out stuff on people. But if the modders will be interested, we will gladly give them what they want if the artist himself who created it agrees :)

As I said in the post, they will be open to certain people with permission. So if the modders will contact us and the artist who made them, or we would do it ourselves, we can allow the usage of them. Trust me, we don't want to see our work die as well.

this mod is not dying. It is on hold. People have work/finals/exams to attend to which are rather more important than the mod stuff at the moment. Yes, not much has been done lately, but the mod is still underway and we will be hard at work during the summer. Members are still as motivated and shall continue their work soon. Probably starting from the end of this month, since for most it is the busiest month of the year.

all I can say, make sure the personality cores accurately depict a certain personality type. Like it's plain to see and understand from first few words and behavioral patterns in the original games. That was one thing that bugged me a bit. The personality core that wakes you up doesn't seem to be defined enough. He appears to be similar to Wheatley, but having a same ( or similar ) personality core would be boring :/ You have nearly endless potential with the core idea. Work on it. As much interaction with them could make this game and give it the narrative it needs. Portal 1 -Glados Portal 2 - Wheatley, Glados and prerecorded messages. And here, mainly cores, but I somehow feel that's what you have planned :D But in any case, careful with character development. It has to be defined to the max. Cheers

Now there is some feed back I have. the introduction-phenomenal, one bug though, but only a because I am a perfectionist, when the plug falls, the wire goes down through the floor. But other than that The introduction was great, you are not filled in enough about your character which is great and leaves a lot for character development in the future. Only thing is, I suggest not to base the whole mod on this puzzle idea. mix it with some classic portal kind of puzzles which I think would work well together in a test chamber. The HUD could use some improvement, but some Photoshop can do wonders, It doesn't look bad for a demo. Finally, the main chamber where you do the puzzle, the circular thing surrounding the squares could use some monitors or something like that, making it look like its plugged into the mainframe. If you need an extra hand at writing/design ideas I could help out. I'm not much of a designer, but I can do writing and story well, if you need someone to help out of course. Great job so far :)

Legs is the one thing that will be edited when we do the model :)

War factory-yes I would agree

Powerplant - well it does have a lot of detail, but it was never a bad thing Oo Texturing will give it a new look

Comm center - animated it will rotated a bit, and tilt to the side etc, and texturing will make it look better. The arm part, yeah maybe it would need some edits. Well this is my opinion :D

Well its still unsure that we will keep the TCN in general, but in any case, time will tell.

Seriously, once a month is quite enough xD We have lives too you know.

Like I mentioned before TCN still is an interesting topic. For the alliance, personally, I think it isn't a good idea, so we will see. Separate endings? Like I said, it would take a lot of extra resources, but I like the idea. Well I'll point this out in the next team meeting, see what everyone think.

well it is still untextured and not animated, but the main radar dish will be more lively when given those things. Might still undergo some changes too.

Erm TCN is a big topic for us right now, vein hole monster is more of a gameplay thing. GDI, Scrin and Nod indeed will be major factions, but focus stays on GDI and Nod first, when we release the demo, it will be mostly GDI and Nod stuff, maybe, no promises, scrin. Idris corporation got scraped as a faction, but you never know what might happen. Currently planned extra factions: Cabal, the forgotten. Cabal getting primary focus after the Scrin, Nod and GDI release.
Kane is an alien, too many facts dating before CnC4 to support that theory. Murdering able - I interpret that in a different form, maybe able was also an alien?... But that is speculation and doesn't matter. Kane is an alien, it is a fact, because he is immortal and has knowledge surpassing human understanding. As for each separate ending - not a bad idea, but we are not a big developer, we will try to manage as best as we can. All I can say is that it would be really hard to make this idea come true just due to the immense amounts of work it would require which isn't really that necessary, but you never know what future holds.

Thanks for your input :)

We will make sure to revise that, thank you for your input :)

Those few reasons would be: too many conflicts, unable to properly work on things that we needed, lack of direction and coordination

well it was changed back into only RTS on SAGE a few months back.

do you work with 3ds max?

There are plans for epic units. And we are not planning to overkill it. Thats as much as I can say for now.

Crawlers will probably be separately built. Like the TS war factory in a sense, except it will have weapons and maybe upgrades

Well actually this is the firestorm generator

First release will mainly focus on GDI and nod though

We will have several releases and cabal and forgotten are in our plans

fully RTS.

2000 characters limit; HTML formatting and smileys are not supported - text only

yep

yeah dont wory, these are very early stages, it will be buffed quite a lot

18 hours of straight SCII... staying in... control LOL

We will have our own logo, that I assure you

lets just call this mod TEc for short >.>
