Attack Squadron, assembllllllllle!!!

DarthRevanII

so with the slow progress of my mod that I've mentioned here every once in a while, I'm finally finding time to do more to it (actually i'll have a skinned model coming up soon, omg!). Now I just need to find an engine to mod ...If you haven't heard me mention it or forgot, no worries, hopefully I'll get it going here soon and you will know

I've redesigned how I want the alien spacecraft to be like, and I think they look sleek and sophisticated...the colors kinda remind me of tron, haha

First is the light fighter, twin laser cannons with plasma like missile projectiles (weapon system is still in tweaking and design stage)

now the heavy bomber, dual bombing freights on the wing that generate condensed plasma disks, as well as twin dull laser cannons (lasers also in tweaking)

apparently they are born without feet :P...hes still a WIP, he will eventually evolve feet

They are very cool, but also strikingly similar to some of the ships in X3- was that your intention?

DarthRevanII

I've played the demo somewhat, but i haven't seen ships that look like these ...on the bomber, the freights i have on the wings i got the idea from the main ship you start in, but aside from that idk, I'll look around screenshots and stuff and see what I find, if they look like any ships in that game I definitely want to change some stuff

DarthRevanII

so right when i went to the game index of X3 at videogames.com i see the ship your talking about (i could only find one matching ship).../sigh
the main fusalage (no idea how to spell it) looks pretty familiar, and it even has the same color scheme (because of the light reflection of the guns firing), kind of lame...even the guns i have on the front are of the same shape and position, ill rework that and post it up again sometime soon, that's really embaressing, because this was not intentional, didnt even use it as a reference

maybe i saw it before at videogames.com, and accidentally recreated it when i was making concepts...doh

Is this supposed to be a space fighting game?

If so I would strongly suggest to use the highly modified Freespace2 open-source engine:

Than you can even make it a standalone game

P.S.: The ships look really cool.

DarthRevanII

thanks for the suggestion, apprecaited ...but no it's not, well not totally

it will involve infantry, vehicular, and space combat, as well as mixed combat...i guess u could say like battlefield 2, which is where it might end up, but still not sure

Ferg

these look great, love the colors and designs

only crit is your pilot looks like a covenant elite from halo

cholden

Good to see you still making these dump-esque posts, DarthRevanII. I like all this so far, and the snake (lizard?) man looks cool! You have a real knack for making video gamey art or maybe you're good at referencing like they say. Nevertheless, keep it up, and will you be posting textured versions soon?

As for engine, sounds like you want BF2. UT might work also, but if you're really adventurous have a look at Serious Sam 2.

Zergxes

Mmmm... Freespace 2. Every once in awhile I still go on FS2 binges.

Formidable!

it will involve infantry, vehicular, and space combat, as well as mixed combat...

Does your project leader go by the name Derek Smart?

DarthRevanII

thanks for all the crits so far
Cholden: wow thanks man, that means a lot coming from you
I wont have a skin texture for these just yet, but I'm working on one for my human model, expect it soon
KDR: Er, no...I'm the project leader, and my name is Aaron Morse, why? (or was that a joke?)

as for a small update, here is the website design im working on
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a32/SpartnII/site4b.jpg
the text/picture area will appear in the middle of that on a darkened background...if that doesn't work out, I'm thinking of shrinking that vertically a LOT, and adding all the information below that on a black background

--edit

instead of giving an extremely confusing description, heres a picture

yes its a joke. Derek Smart is somewhat infamous for the "it will involve infantry, vehicular, and space combat, as well as mixed combat" games. OFten with .. complications.
