Website News Update

There should be an update re: Kickstarter when we release V9.2 this weekend.

I, for one, am looking forward to both updates!

Ouuuuhhhh yeaaaaaaaaahhhh.

Sweet! Looking forward to it!

Great news, Chris. I've been looking forward to seeing even more hype for Xenonauts and will be there backing the project as soon as it goes up (well, I'll probably get the beta before then, just need to find some time to play it!). You've got a lot of fans out there and plenty of us will be happy to keep spreading the word. Keep up the good work!

Sweets! V9.2 this week! Soon as possible (after launching V9.2) i'll post in my "home" forum (also with a lot of X-Com generation peoples)

Try to avoid starting the kickstarter on april fool's day. =P

I am glad to see that they have got rid of those stupid wings, now it's starting to look the part.

I know it is a lot of work to be done, but just wanted to mention that on the web-site it say "Build V9.1 Released" in the news section

--O--

Does fawning over the crashed UFO art and pretty much ignoring the rest of the update mean we're superficial?

Yes

The new Corvette crashed outside (with the roof toggle on) looks great!!!! Also I hate that there are so many soldiers in them. I lost two really good men killing off all the aliens at a crash site - not to mention the MiG and F17 I lost just bringing it DOWN. My OTHER F17 then had to fight of not one but TWO fighters (in separate battles) on its way back to base. Then if I hadn't had an extra hangar for a 4th plane my Chinook would have eaten it to yet ANOTHER fighter!

In other words Chris you are a brilliant (evil) developer and I am enjoying this. Great work everyone @ Goldhawk!

Am i the only one who thinks that the corvette is too small on the battle map? I mean, when i first time i saw the art for it it was very huge horizontally, but vertically(looking from the side) it was like a needle. I expected it to be at least as big as a carrier(one of the heavier ships), not complaining much but i can't shake the feeling it should have been made bigger .

For the amount of effort it takes to down it, it was a letdown that it's just a single-room shanty inside. I doubt that's a final-version interior though, so hopefully they'll add both complexity and scope when they make another pass at it.

I'm sure they have every intention of exceeding or meeting X-Com in all respects, and just adding some rooms and alternate routes / entrances in the medium UFOs would be (relatively) simple, so can't imagine them not doing it when they get a chance.

Agreed, the battle map is going to have to get bigger, or the battleship should be sitting on top of the chinook when you get out. The corvette is too small.

And, of course, we need an abductor ship with mutilated cattle and humans in the lab inside it... one of my fondest memories of the ol' x-com!

The battle maps will be sized according to the size of the craft you have downed.

It would make things easier if you could just land on the roof and work your way in.

Anybody got a picture of one?

One what?

here you go

I think he means a corvette.

I wasn't sure if he was after a picture of a corvette or one of the maps.

Or a corvette in a map.

This is a corvette in a submap editor.

Thanks Gauddlike

I think he means a corvette.

boos from the gallery

There is space in there to add a couple of rooms in a similar pattern to one of the x-com scouts.

I might make a change or two to see how it looks.
