Slam Bus Rodan Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Wouldn't it be cool if the developers showed us some concept art of an unnamed alien race and allowed us to submit names for that race? I think it would be pretty damn cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoIdidnt Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I second that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 All aliens are already named afaik. their names are already in the game files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yup sadly they're all already named Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Plus I already picked the Firaxians in case there are any new races to be added later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I would die before I let the community name anything in my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well if its a contest you would still pic the winner Jean-luc thereby haveing the final say in what the alien is named. And if you really dont like any of the sugesstions just fake it and say someone sent in the winning submission by pm =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Assuming I was going to be honest regarding this contest, making myself honor-bound to pick any of the submissions carries just too much risk. Goddess forbid that I should rub salt in my wound and promise a free game to the winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTuninator Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Eh, in this case I think it's better that the developers pick them. Chris has a far better idea of what constitutes the lore of Xenonauts than we do, and is thus in a far better position to pick suitable names.

Gorlom Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Promise a hug (if he ever meets you in person) and make the alien he named be a pet that is only mentioned in the xenopedia =P Or a vanity pet that runs around with civvie AI during crash missions. (you dont get any points for killing it and mission ends if the alien pet is the only one left.. basicly it acts like a human civvie) OOOH that would be a cool way to modd in the Firaxian race. Civvie mechanics in an alien shape/sprite. (I wonder how you would get them into the Xenopedia if you can't research them though) Edited February 25, 2012 by Gorlom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoIdidnt Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I would die before I let the community name anything in my game. hmmm activities like this= more comunity involvement. more comunity involvement=higher comunity numbers. higher comunity numbers= free advertising. { people talk } this list could go on quite a bit farther but it boils down to one thing, better finished product due to pre-release revinue.

Jean-Luc Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 There are other ways to get attention that don't carry the risk of messing up your game's presentation. There's a reason this sort of thing isn't generally done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoIdidnt Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I agree in some situations this may be a bad idea but for the most part this game has a good following of "adult" posters that would actually like to add to the games presentation in a good way. you being one of them Jean-Luc. you will always have ideas that dont fit or are outrite bad but here there would be plenty of good ones to chose from.

anotherdevil Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I would die before I let the community name anything in my game. You mean my ideas of the asslickiens and the poopapults wouldn't please you? =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorlom Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Poopapults... some kind of overgrown dungbeetle? Or just a regular monkey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoIdidnt Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 actually i thought he misspeled it and it was really a new weapon type"Poopapault" i hear its DEVISTATING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherdevil Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 That could work. Or it could just be an alien species that throws it's own offal/feces =p =p Any time your hit, you're required to spend half your turn getting it off your armour, if you don't a few turns later you can pass out due to 'fragrance' issues...

NoIdidnt Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 and the amount of turns it takes for each individual to pass out would depend on his -nasal stamina- statistic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauddlike Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Same weapon is used by the Firaxians, only it is their game that stinks. Allegedly. Apparently. Well hopefully not anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoIdidnt Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 yup. the more i read about the firaxis game the more i see they are falling away from the "x-com path" sad. have to wait and see how it turns out i guess but im slowly loosing intrest i hate to say.
