Khall Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Just putting this up as I know a lot of us don't check the main site for news (I rarely do at least). So some may have missed this news update. http://www.xenonauts.com/category/news/ A lot of its already been said on the development updates on the forums, but there's previews of base rooms, and they look absolutely fantastic. Seriously, I cannot wait to play on those maps. The tile artist has done a fantastic job, really impressed with how good it looks. Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If you think they're good now, just imagine how much more awesome they will be when the paintover artist works his magic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hi, I was just about to post a thread of my own on this one. Saw more base defence images over on strategycore. They look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozy Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Beautiful!!!! thanks so much for Xenonauts!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Seen 'em on another site as well. I never notice the news posts on the official site because the updates don't appear on the home page and I always head straight for the forum from there. They do look amazing. The missile battery is especially tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xcom Veteran Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 If you think they're good now, just imagine how much more awesome they will be when the paintover artist works his magic! Yea. Maps are very good looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitso Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I think they should even use these graphics (scaled smaller) in the base building screen instead of the topdown old square room pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonica Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Echoing the 'they look amazing'. The graphics are exactly what I want. Understated, in some ways, but with plenty of intricate detail suggesting the reality. And letting the tactical battles take center stage. I absolutely cannot wait to get stuck into designing layouts for battle maps, too. (We will still be able to do this, right? Probably the main reason I ever was interested in Xenonauts was the potential for having a huge cache of layouts for the game to draw upon when it throws out its battle maps - and adding to myself/from the community).

gnarly Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hmm, I wonder what the consequence of setting of high explosives near the missile battery will be? PS thanks for posting, I never look at the main site.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hmm, I wonder what the consequence of setting of high explosives near the missile battery will be? well, the good news is that the aliens atacking the base are all dead. and the bad news...

Max_Caine Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Looking at it from a game persepective, I can see that there is a lot of cover, the corridors are cramped, and there are a lot of doors, making it easy to fall back or to come from another side.

erutan Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Very nice! I also would have missed it on the main site haha, but good on Chris for using other channels of communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwolves Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Love it! Thanks for posting too, as I haven't been to the main site since I pre-ordered two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
