UFO from the nineties

I made a replica of the little UFO from the enemy Unknown. Animated sprites for the reactor and computer screen didn't work in the game (they work fine on submap editor) for some reason, so I used stills.

maps, tilegraphics and spectres:

Awesome, just out of curiousity how much time do you estimate you have in that?

That looks really nice, I think it should be put in the game as an easter egg!

Really hard to say because I practised using the submapeditor at the same time. Drawing was quite quick, I think I used many more hours with the spectre editor.

definitely should be an easter egg in the game. Great work !

excellent. great to see that there. It would be very funny indeed to see that pop up.

Actually, funny would see the curtain fall away in the final mission to reveal a single Sectoid behind the whole invasion. "Just warming you up," it clicks and disappears in a distinctive energy flux of a portable teleporter.

Hahah, Great idea.

Great!

Can we get this man a cookie?

I think he should get a cake.

How about that on a cookie cake?

or there's ...

Haha. I'd not seen this before today, but that's awesome.

So with the talk of tilesets and maps being end user moddable in the other thread, serious +respect to anyone who goes all out on a full hi-res old school xcom style mod

Might even have a shot myself depending on how time consuming it is, or at the very least help out whoever is brave enough.

Maybe just an original-styled texture pack for the UFO's.

I think he should get a cake.

Why is Diablo to have a Happy Ryan day? I'm confused...

So did you import the tiles from EU then use the draw over tool. Tell me how!!

wow this looks awesome! modern tech and oldschool feelings blend oh so well ^^

Hahaha, that's amazing, Raakku! Well done!

Yeah, like Xenonauts being the prequel to UFO Defense.

just what I was thinking for that post

It would be awesome to have that in game as some sporadic Alien activity detecting a 50 year old crashed ship in the Arctic. Maybe as DLC after release including a new recruitable character (Ha ha)

Waiting for the inevitable "X-COM mod! Xenonauts retextured, with blaster launcher and human psionics".
