This flame is old as the Internet itself, and still you are calling it, you want it to start here again? Don't.

I played WoWP a little, but its cost is too high for me to afford.

Engine replacement will cause the release date to fly away for another year. Or more. Make the most from this engine and use something better in the next game would be the most logical way.

You're welcome, sir.

Oh well? And more:

Of course, this will improve the situation, but it's still tremendous amount of work. Also, some sprites involve complex animations, and copypaste will not help there. It's not impossible, of course, as i plan to do some spritemodding myself, albeit in smaller scale.

Awwww yeah! Thank you very much.

This thread is so hot i have to put sunglasses for replying. It's so hot the hosting company warming the small town with the server this thread's stored on. It's so hot it will stay white even if the goldhawk will reskin the forums with the dark theme. It's so hot i can put a cup of coffee in front of the monitor and it will boil after couple of minutes.

Oh, someone decided to draw bazillion sprites by hand? It's actually looking good, Osvir. But i'm afraid that sheer volume of work will kill you. Several dozens of japanese animators - that's what we need.

Thank you for the kind words guys, it matters very much for me. Yep, those are for Alien Class Analysis mod, timelapse-recorded. Man it's so hard to find a good music with a proper license. I've tried to find something close to the x-com OST, but with little success. So i've stopped on some dark ambient samples. there's another video of andron, and then i've stopped recording since the vids became kinda repetitious and boring.

My definition comes straight from the name - downloadable content is something you download (and it's just a content), while expansion is something expanding the game. Presumably, one can say that new game mechanics is an expansion, while selling the maps is a dlc, but no. Any publisher can pack up some AI patches and bugfixes, add lame maps and call it a full expansion, and charge for it whatever he wants. And people, some people may eat it, because it's served under "expansion" sauce. Marketing tricks. I'd never say it's fine. You should get what you've paid for. Sadly it's very tempting to sell you something that only looks like the thing you've paid for.

DLC by definition is something you can download (presumably from devs and very often for money). Expansion is something that expanding the original. The difference between these two is mostly cultural and related to the epoch. Expansions were bigger (because of nature of their medium - cd), thus they were generally well polished. AFAIK no one there would start a CD production for mere bunch of maps and weapons. DLC is smaller, even to the point of single vanity item. This economical model is more viable now than bulky and long in production expansions. Sadly, it's very easy to put the economical meaning of DLC in front of the production quality. That's the case of the absurdish "DLC in the day of release", "Disk-Locked Content", so called "Game of Hats" and other monstrosities i'm ashamed to talk of in such couth place. That was the point of the video, to show how the large part of publishing companies are positioning themselves with any thing they can suck money from, particularly DLC.

Update sent with e-pigeon to the Max. Now off to the Big Clawsy

Max, did you thought about making the clouds lower, so they won't be so intrusive? This would probably matter since they will never dissipate, and prolonged warfare will probably turn the map into the toxic version of Silent Hill.

Well, Commissar, you know the grill.

Kudos.

Blood dragon is awesome and worth its price. I doubt i can categorize it as a DLC though, more like A+ mod. Vanity items, alternative endings and make-me-win buttons can burn together with the map packs.

I..I just.. Oh. Ok, i may as well just blow this thread further down: http://www.dramafever.com/news/the-ten-weirdest-japanese-ice-cream-flavors/ And you'd better not google what cola flavors they have.

I just find it too hillarious not to share with you guys. Also, somewhat related to the certain game. [video=youtube;rTYpKlIc_fg]

Yeah, guys. Sure thing. Totally beliveable. Also, retro-sounds. Do it.

Text size relative to ui elements and available text area is not uniform. In case of the difficulty choice "Normal": font size='22' will be normal on big resolution, but cropped on small: Smaller text sizes like this: <Data ss:Type="String"><font size='17' face='fonts/xenonauts.mvec'>Нормальная</font></Data> may not render at all.

Вот это и огорчает. Рано или поздно появится кто-нибудь еще, кому это надоест, и начнет делать свой перевод с нуля. И будет уже два недоделанных перевода.

If you want to have a decent russian translation available through the steam at the launch - you will need someone to promote it in the forums, working with the devs and the community. You should be also very close with the lore development, holes to avoid and strong points to emphasis. It's essential to be active in the forums in general to stay alert. Safaquel has started greatly, but i've yet to see him to meet those requirements. Maybe Safaquel is waiting for the xenopedia to be completed. Maybe he's gone missing. Maybe he solved the problem with terror site names. Maybe he hasn't even done that part. Who knows? Also remember that the Chris have no budget for testing the translation, so it's up for the community to decide about the quality of translation. It's kind of sad. I'm willing to help everybody, but i see no point of getting two roughly similar in quality translation versions. It's better to concentrate best we can get in one place. But if there will be no signs of public activity in this thread, or it will be overly secretive and impossible to QC, it will lose its status of potentially good translation. And someone will probably have to start a new one.

Bullets! Lasers! Plasma! MAG! By your powers combined, I'm Chris England!

Buzzard + laser carbine, sentinel + plasma carbine, sentinel + shotgun, wolf + magstorm — still godzilla sprites.
