Azrael Strife Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 https://ufo.yaa.dk/ The artwork is pretty impressive! 3d X-Com1 aliens! They have also quite a nice amount of sountracks which sound just plain cool, and the development team is quite large for a new project as well, looks like we'll have to keep an eye on these guys!

Pete Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Nod is the art and animation lead - I might have known! He was the guy who did those cool 3D X-COM models such as the Chrysalid at the top of the site We should definitely watch this one very closely! It looks like the Sectoids have been altered to match the Aquatoid look a little more, as well as the Playstation game box version of them:- PS2 Cover Courtesy of MobyGames: ClickyCydonia's Fall version: Clicky, and scroll through the pics til you find the Sectoid Anywho, this is worth putting together a news post and maybe seeing if we can sort out an interview with them.

Gimli Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Will you do the news post or do you want me to do it? In any case, I will stay on their IRC channel and tell them we made a news post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Oh erm, would that go into the X-COM news or StrategyCore news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'll leave it in your capable hands It would go in the X-COM news forum I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Actually, I am going to wait a bit. I'm not sure if this is alive, seeing as how there is no activity on the forum. I used the job application e-mail to contact them, and will report if/when I get a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azrael Strife Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 When I went to sleep last night I was thinking exactly the same, about making a news post and an interview good idea, and glad to know the guy's still there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Updated our Project Resource List to reflect the "discovery" of UFO: Cydonias Fall. I'm hoping they change their name to "UFO: Cydonia's Fall" as I think that is correct grammar. No matter though, it looks like an interesting project so far (luv the Celatid pic). - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 They've also got a note on their banner saying the original was developed by Microprose (as opposed to Mythos - I suppose this misconception will never be completely shaken). Some new additions to my playlist, nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Was Mythos actually Mythos back then? I really can't remember. The first Mythos logo I saw on an X-COM box was actually on the Apocalypse box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeLanZer Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hey there, I just wanted to bump in and say hi.I have corrected the issue with the Microprose logo on the site banner, yes it was indeed Mythos Games Ltd. who developed the first UFO and they were also called Mythos Games Ltd. back then.If you guys have any questions about the project please do ask. Although I will save some answers for the interview. - FLZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Welcome FreeLanZer, and nice project - it looks VERY good! We're putting together some questions for you for an interview and I believe Gimli has already asked for some screenshots for a news post? Anywho, I'm about to send you an email anyway so I'll leave it at that for now - keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kratos Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Very impressive! I would like to have some questions answered though regarding development if they aren't asked in the interview: 1) Is this game by any chance open source?2) If open source, what license are you working under? GPL? GNU?3) What are your 3D artists using for modeling and animation? Blender? 3DStudio Max? They're very well done models. I've always used Blender myself for modelling, and little animating.4) Is your svn access link broken? I seem to not be able to access it. I always liked projects that let me send patch files, not necessarily recruit me, but still credit me. I am already working on a specific project so it hard to give full focus on another.
