  The Futile - Progress Update - Mod News
  Posted by: saoreire on 08-01-2007 @ 10:46 - Source: Imperial Ace (mod leader)
This News Item has been viewed 8,959 times
Hey again, it's Imperial Ace with another update from the Futile.

First of all, our first video staff podcast done by myself and Famous Jester (another forum admin and a new modeller for our mod) has hit our forums at the bottom of the index page here:

http://z7.invisionfree.com/The_Futile/index.php?act=idx

as well as the first test "Fluff Comic" by one of our two aspiring concept artists - BadErich. BadErich and MagicalMunk have both being doing outstanding concept work for our mod and are now part of the mod team as well as Famous Jester.

In the new podcast video, we have shown some things like a model done in sketchup and imported into 3DSmax. That particular model is for a new unit, a "Drill-Bomber" which contains a drill held in a gravitational field. Once this releases, damage to you opponent ensues.

Also we're thinking about creating different types of "Drill Bombs" - such as the cluster drill which will release many tiny drills at enemy infantry sections.

We have some new models, such as another possibility for the Drone Scout. Older models like the walking squad-drone factory are coming along nicely.

For more details, check out our forums!

- Ace

Bear in mind that both are still ridiculously high polygon models despite what they have said about reducing polygons (unless I have not made observations on their reduction work). You folks can only hope that the polygons do get reduced, otherwise this mod will be notorious for an obvious reason.

But yup, we're moving at a breakneck pace, and we almost have a good line-up of our units. Almost. The drill bomber is slowly getting shot down because of issues, but we'll have that good and done also. So there you are, you DoW fans. We're moving fast just for you guys! And @ 5... I don't know if we are or not. I think it's the jiffy cakes *winks at Ace*.

Posts: 179 		Hey, BMAN1019 here (it won't log me on for some ridiculous reason). To be quite honest, I had doubts about this mod in the beginning, but with the reports here, it seems like you're doing a great job with it, and going incredibly fast as well. Just make sure you spend enough time making everything, cuz if everything sucks (which it doesn't seem to), you won't get nearly as many downloads, so just take the time to make everything as good as it can be. Hope the finished project turns out great!
