Just curious if anybody have seen this hardcore masterpiece in the time of Win95. Twas so cool at the time or seemed so. Followed by Enslaved on stereo twas a blast.

Point is it's time to make a remake ow yeah! On unity. For android. Shadow of the hammer or something like that. So if you an artist or you know unity fell free to join!

Edit: actually I played rip months ago and did found out that AI is kinda lousy-stright-a-go type, and what seemed as hellish hardcore challenge was in fact a result of dull strightforwardness of enemy units hehe. . . So what!? It's even easier that way! Join before I finish this baby all by myself and make tons of googlewallet money!

It's like you want it to have the shittiest performance possible by combining bloat with bloat. Get yourself a decent programmer, use a proper multiplatform graphics engine, and GPL the whole thing. Oh, and don't forget you can't use any name, concept, or character belonging to the Warhammer lore, because Games Workshop will sue the living hell out of you, if you even dream of doing so. Then we can discuss details.

Zergrush u no like unity? It runs pretty well on low-mid-end phone (as for demo with terrain, skybox and camera). Peeformance is my main concern. Would they sue for game mechanics?

If performance really is your main concern, you're better off doing something from scratch. I do recognize Unity is pretty attractive for developers due to its full suite of handy tools and compatibility with several devices and OSes, but it's not really multiplatform, because it's not open source.

 

Would they sue for game mechanics?

 

No, because they can't copyright those. What GW may C&D you for are characters, concepts, specific names (of places, objects, people, etc), and, to a certain extent, board game rulesets. A good example is the Alien Assault game, developed by a friend of mine, originally meant to be a complete PC conversion of the Space Hulk board game. He mailed GW for months, attempting to get permission to distribute it with the Space Hulk name under a freeware non-commercial license, and after months of silence, GW simply told him no. As a result of that, he was forced to alter names, maps, some rulesets, and even armor designs. You really don't want to mess with GW because they're REALLY protective of their own intellectual property.

Yep I can see me doing aal the engine stuff from skratch... thanks but no. Unity works- thats good enough and has huge community. Found free pathfinding toolset today! Making a multitouch camera controller half from examples half from reference and I never did a line of c#. For every thing one might need someone did and left a forum thead. So I hope this will be fast.

Btw there new engine coming - Anarchy Havok, supposedly better.

Played wshr today on ps emulator - controls are main downside.graphics still Good.

Looks like there's two of us now and pre-alpha code being repoed to bitbucket. Three more spots left so join in if you like Total War and Warhammer and can do something in Blender or Unity.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
