X1 models in X2?

[Raffik]

Hi devs,

could we get the models of ufos from X1 to X2 as well? They would add variety among the UFO types and bring more diversity into tactical air and ground combat.

If not into the final release of the game, would it be possible or are there plans to make them available in the modding tools (perhaps with other models from X1, like 3x3 vehicles and models from alfa and beta tests, fighters, dropships etc)?

Hi Raffik,

thanks for your good thoughts about Integration some older Parts from the Predecessor. The Devs have some cool Things about that in Mind which they wanna and try to bring in again. Like you know an Copy & Paste is impossible, so they have to make new Models for it to integrate it in Xenonauts 2.

Some Refited / Reworked older Parts of the Alpha- and Beta-Tests from Xenonauts 2 get in for the Milestone 2 Prototype again for your Specialists to Upgrade and Change some of the the stable Milestone 1 System-Parts. There will come in for sure in Milestone 3 etc. more already tested and functionable upgraded, reworked or changed Features / Contents back to give the Game more Pepper.

Like said in other Threats 3x3 Vehicles and similar big Things are not possible for Xenonauts 2 as well as for other good Reasons not integrated as well as not modable.

 

Now to the Game-Engine as well as Modding itself:

The used Gamplay-Engine "Unity" have to be used from Modders for Modding Xenonauts 2 too. About the News from the Unity-Gameplay-Engine-Company and what they have planed many Developers & Modders will overthink to use it further mid- and long-term. All Developers & Modders were surprissed by that, which use Unity. The Devs & Modders incl. Goldhawk can´t switch to an new Gameplay-Engine anymore about the Reason that the complete WIP-Games incl. DLCs belongs on it.

The same count for Xeonauts 2 incl. all DLCs. The big Changes which get planed from the Unity-Company not only affects the Devs alone. Sadly it effects us Gamers and esp. Modders too which have older & newer Games with the Unity-Game-Engine. Means if you wanna Mod Xenonauts 2 you have to use necessarily Unity. The Question about the worth to integrate Modding for Xenonauts 2 is comming up about that surprise News again, esp. from the 3 demands from the Chiefs of the Unity-Engine-Company to the Publishers / Developers.
