You all should definetely check out http://www.projectxenocide.com and take a look at the pictures. This is the game I have been waiting for. Looks about 30 million times better than UFO. Check it.

Edit: Yeah, I know, I wrote XeDnocide. Maybe a nice Admin can change that for me.

Edit #2: Thank you, anonymous admin.

Yes, It seems very promising! I wish you could post some screenshots from the Tactical Scape soon!

The geoscape looks great and not only that, it is better designed with the funding shown, dialogs on the side, history log, etc.

The intercept window is a little weak but it's still good.

The battlescape equipment screen seems to let you choose the exact spot your troops are deployed, no more fustration! Again, everythings looks real good in there too.

I love the fact that they are making the GUI better, fixing little annoyances and not just doing new graphics.

I love how they renamed the UFOpaedia to the "X-Net Database" That sounds way cooler.

So are they just changing the apperance or the status of weapons and aliens?

I must disagree Fox. I preferred UFOpedia...
ANyhoo I saw this a while ago. You can download a working sample of how the geoscape works. Don't even bothe trying if you're XP though. It's more trouble than it's worth! It IS good though.
Is it just me or does Xenocide have nothing to do with XCom?

sounds.. intersting *goes to download*

i wonder if it will work with my radeon...

I respect your opinion Vet.

I just love the new things they are doing, I mean, it's like exactly what I would have done. They probably can't use UFOpaedia because it is copyrighted. I'd be willing to bet they can't even use the name Skyranger or Intercepter (although Interceptor is pretty generic, so maybe so).

It just looks so beautiful... Too bad my lame computer sucks, I might actually download it. This'll be about as close as we come to an X-COM Genesis for a while too, unless I have anything to do with it Mwah ha ha!

...god I'm retarded.

Does it work on XP? I didn't see any information about that there...
(And if anyone knows could you please answer my previous question)

being it is extreamly beta I is unstable.. and last i got a version to run on my system, the only thing you could do is rotate the geoscape .. the rest of it had not been implamented yet...


How ever that is about to change..

Scott T Jones (of xcomutil) has joined the xenocide team... this should push the project along.. and scott is trying to make sure they make it infanetly modable.. so things like adding new aliens and creating a new research tree wil be posible..

Sorry for the late reply. I'm usually too busy with Xenocide to make it over here to scan these forums.

Demi-godly one: Though it is in reality platform independent, Xenocide is currently being compiled only in Windows, and specifically Windows XP (is works for me in Win98 and XP). So it should run for you, unless there are other things holding you back (drivers, hardware).

And to ask a question: Veteran, what do you mean when you say Xenocide has nothing to do with xcom? Xenocide is meant to be as similar to UFO Defense as we can legally get away with. It will not be a sequel or a prequel. For all intents and purposes, it will be UFO Defense with a lot of fixes and no significant alterations to the gameplay.

Scott Jones has indeed joined the project, but he is planning to work primarily with the AI and autocombat features of Xenocide. We as a team have already planned to make the game as moddable as possible (without inconveniencing ourselves or delaying the project's initial completion too much). The first version of Xenocide is planned to be a remake of UFO Defense. Subsequent versions will be a combo UFO/TFTD and a multiplayer version of at lease UFO Defense.

Also, please keep in mind that the downloadable alpha is, in fact, an alpha, and is therefore very limited in its functionality because it is a concept that has been released to show everyone what we intend to do.

Most of these answers as well as answers to a lot of other questions can be been found in the Xenocide faq: http://www.projectxenocide.com/xenofaq.html

Well this is very good, it runs on XP! UFO doesn't for me so I guess this will have to do...

Which version are you trying to run? The old DOS version will give you a lot of crash bugs, but the CE with F0dder's fix runs quite nicely.

I just have the old classic version, but it doesn't work no matter what I do. :dontgetit:

Xenocide what's that?

Please, don't necro threads unless you can make an interesting discussion out of them. The post directly above yours has a link in the sig that you could have followed to answer the question.

No, he was playing around. *asks stewart if he may reveal teh secret*

okay, waiting for stewart response.

Oh yeah, stewart, i don't think they like your thread reviving

*eyes the stake with hay stacked around in it.....*
*Oh dears......*

Of course I was. I'm a member of project Xenocide, that was the joke.

Sorry for the trouble. I hope this helps

Hrm, lucky save there...
