why no one from here do not want to participate in this project?

are all of you not believe in success ?

[Azrael Strife]

I'd say people are just cautious, we've seen dozens of X-Com projects spawning and dying, hope yours gets off the ground

 

Battlescape and Geoscape look very nice, even if it's without an actual UI yet, the Unreal engine works really good

Speaking personally, I don't really have anything to contrubite. The best I could do is story-writing, but I'm sure there's several more here with a deeper understanding(read: Ability to out-nitpick) of the lore than me.

Stands true for me, too... Love to, but I are baboon.

Orangutan here, but the basic principle's the same.

we needs in:

-programmer

-animator

[Sgt. Strike]

I'm not any good at programming. Sorry. However, I can beta test the game, if need be. I'm willing to help in that regard. From the screens and the rifle video, it looks good so far. The planet looks more like it was taken from UFO than X-Com, but it does look good.

[_h2o_]

for now we do not need testers.. it is so early for it.

 

now mostly we need programmer or programmers, and 1 animator

 

but thanx

IMO everything seen so far is absolutely gorgeous. I love the extra cloud layer, 3D base construction etc.!

 

Oh, and the aliens look awesome!
