Hello everyone,
as you might know by now NS:CO is discontinued. Team Mirage has stopped working on it and due to the lack of interest we have also decided to not invest any more time into a potential mappack. However we wanted to thank all the fans and players that stuck with us over the last few years. We had a very good time with this community.
Although the game itself will not be developed any further there still are a bunch of players in the community so we at Team Mirage decided to organize another one of those famous Clash of the Titans matches. It will go off on Saturday, August 13th at 19:00 GMT and you can vote for maps to be played and read more about it here in our forum.
This COTT match will be held as a part of our second WorkLAN here in germany where we get together to intensively work on our new project. We have decided to not reveal any in depth information about it before we have something really solid to show as to not build up expectations or give rise speculation. However we decided to spill a few of the beans.
This new project dubbed "ProjectSR" has been in planning for more than half a year now. We have a solid ~50 pages multiplayer design document that lays out 75% of the gameplay and we have a first, very early internal alpha ready by now. The game is a multiplayer first person action game set in the near future. We are currently looking for people to join our team, specificially for coders and concept artists.
