HighlifeTTU Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Huge X-COM fan here. Glad to see this project in the works and I have to say the graphics are impressive. I love the cold war style of graphics, it is something fresh and original. Look forward to seeing the final product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 things I have seen that don't seem quite right and they are... The shots don't seem to fly at the right angles. The aliens look to much like hoodies wearing tracksuit bottoms. Saying that, maybe aliens really do look like hoodies wearing tracksuit bottoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hmm, the lowest grade aliens looking like hooligans...interesting social commentary there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deelad Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hmm, the lowest grade aliens looking like hooligans...interesting social commentary there. Haha, that made me giggle Anyway, you guys really do seem to be doing a great job! I actually had a 'wow' moment yesterday when i decided to shoot one of those fuel/oil tanks and it set off a nice chain reaction. The explosion and especially the fire afterwards look amazing! Also, on the origional X-com the smoke after an explosion didn't phase me as you could still see everything, but on here the fact that i could see nothing through the thick black (not to mention toxic looking) smoke really made me think twice about sending my guys through it until it cleared up a bit! I think that adds great effect to the game. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I particularly like the line of sight in Xenonauts. It really works extremely well. Best I have seen to date in this sort of game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamkyon Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Hmm, the lowest grade aliens looking like hooligans...interesting social commentary there. I always suspected that meditating on the Caesans' chavvy tracksuits would reveal the grand design behind Xenonauts. My intuition proved to be correct. So, I take it that the space shed is in fact a thinly veiled reference to council housing? Edited to add: I mean no disrespect to the artists involved. I'm fond of the art style, and some of my best friends are chavs! Edited November 8, 2011 by iamkyon Leave no edit unedited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It is poorly built, with a strange internal layout. And its the Evil Alien Shed, successor to the Evil Alien Barn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlifeTTU Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 So is there only one map for ground battles right now? I played two last night and it was the same map, so just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamkyon Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 So is there only one map for ground battles right now? I played two last night and it was the same map, so just curious. Yes. Build V8, due next weekend, will introduce more variety. See preview here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Even in the next map it'll be the same map, just with a few randomised sub-maps to make it a bit more varied (but the overall layout will be the same). We're working on a lot more tilesets at the moment but they're not ready yet. They're the most time consuming part of the development process tbh.

Moonie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Well, I have played trough a few missions and find that even though the game is still rough around the edges the game play feels great. I predict that Xenonauts is going to be one hot, hot game. Money well spent. I just hope that this one, some day, actually gets finished.
