Please give us some constructive critiscism. What would you change?What would you like included?

..not weather you think its a dumb idea or not.


If you would like to help e-mail me at [email protected] ......we prefer if you played xcom:enemy unknown and tftd. And had a love of those games in the past.

We are looking for everything from PR/idea people to eventual forum mods ...to coding skining modleing...ect ect. If you think you can contribute in some way please let me know.

Why is it people cant put things in topic-specific categories?
 
you need to try and capyure that super crrepy feeling you get when the aliens are terrorizing. Damn that was so awesome... I never played the others, but the first on kicked ass....

i JUST beat ufo defense for the first time about a week ago. after ten years, rofl. tftd is a work in progress :)
 
anarchy- wow. i'm really excited now, two big games in september XD

UFO Aftermath looks like what genesis could have been.
 
Hehe, that document is VERY early indeed. It mentions land combat, but it will be concentrated on subsea combat (TFTD)... At least at first, best not to get TO far ahead of oneself :) I am making a page that is basicly an extended version of the design document, including some weapons and vehicles. I'm HORRIBLE at html (well, I use Dreamweaver) so it wont be pretty :D

I have announced it in the general editing, "Yet another mod announced: Dark Waters". It will also not be X-Com mod in the X-Com sense, its just based on the idea (easiest for legal reasons, and its funnier to think of unique things without limiting it to TFTD). Aliens still comes from Mars ;)
 
Somone attempted this for HL1 - and got rammed by Methos (was the X-com owner at the time) - I don't know if the current owner will be more forgiving, but unless you got a lot of money for lawers, I'd be VERY careful.

Incidently, I'm part of a team working on a remake of UFO, if anyone's interested.

I will not use the X-Com name in any sense. Its just the idea. No X-Com weaponry, ships or equipment will be there, although one of course need the types (assault subs that can carry troops etc). They cant have any legal issues with that, if they did, then EVERY mod in existense have to closed down :)

I havent even looked into who owns it now, I said from the start, this is not an X-Com mod (crabcakes got a bit ahead of himselves ;)).

This is an mod where aliens have sunk half the world and new UN type of alliance formed, New Commonwealth, strikes back, by engaging the aliens in a subsea combat enviroment. Nothing more. Nothing less.

(Sidenote: Just looked at the CD, TFTD is copyrighted on Microprose, the webpage bounces back to Atari, so guess its them. But if they dont even have the game listed, I think they've forgotten :))
 
i've joined the team, and will of course be emailing microprose/atari to see if they will allow it.
 
we could really use someone willing to do some concept art.

Im just not very good at drawing on a pc.
 
update: dawdlers been working on a development webpage. its pretty basic as of now ...really just a place for us to share ideas.

nothing on this page is final.

alot of backround story is being rewritten to more closley meet with the original timeline.

Ive also updated all the weapon/equipment descriptions to give a little more detail. but it has not been changed yet.

its basic ...no real eye candy


update: backround story has been updated and posted here
