Overview

Dawn of Victory (DoV) is a modification in the works for the game Sins of a Solar Empire; an interstellar real time strategy game with a strong focus on empire building. Sins was developed by Ironclad Games and published by Stardock.

Ironclad is made up of members of the team that created Homeworld and Stardock is the creator of Galactic Civilizations, so the talent and experience behind the game is some of the best in the genre. Dawn of Victory is a total conversion for Sins, replacing all of its in-game assets with custom made content. We're also substantially altering the gameplay of Sins, creating a more military oriented and faster paced game.

Dawn of Victory has been featured in both PC Gamer UK and US as well as on Petroglyph's Community site.

The Story

While mostly just an excuse to get the Soviets and Nazis fighting in space, the DoV story has evolved over time and now has an extraordinary level of depth spanning over 200 years. Fans of Harry Turtledove will recognize many elements from his WorldWar series. Our wiki, constantly updated with new fiction and content, chronicles the expansive universe of Dawn of Victory.

Dawn of Victory takes place as the last remaining human nations, escaping the ruins of Earth, forge new empires amongst the stars. The Scinfaxi, the alien race responsible for humanity's exodus, have been content with Earth’s resources for now. But it is only a matter of time before they once again expand their campaign of annihilation to sustain their growing numbers.

We need your help!

Dawn of Victory is being developed entirely by volunteers, many of us are still in school, using DoV to refine our skills, while some of our staff work in the industry, and enjoy working on something they normally wouldn't be able to create in their day to day jobs.

Most of our fighter spacecraft come somewhere around 500 polies, with a texture of around 512x512, some of our larger units can be up to 5000 polies, with 4096x4096. The majority of our units fall somewhere in the middle, say 2000 polies with 2048x2048. All with specular and normal maps.
