Did anyone tried this game ?

It was out one month ago and i never heard of it before, and this is probably the best wargame i played about WW2.

It's a mix between your regular STR like Company of Heroes and Commandos 2; What is different is that unlike coh, you can use any object, terrain high, vehicules; to put your units in cover, the bullets will hit exactly where they should hit like in an action game. Everything in the environment is destructible, if an infantry units is camping a building, you can take a tank and drive into the building like a bulldozer to get them out. The debris of the building will then can be used as cover for your infantry.

You can also take the control of each of your units, be it tanks, canons or infantry; move them around with the keypad and shoot wherever you like in a thirdperson shooter.

Each units has an inventory like in commandos 2, so you have a part of management where you need to equip your troops with weapons, helmets and ammo, every round count, so you have to be careful to have your men always supplied by scavenging the enemy bodies.

The tanks are also really great, if you hit one with a well placed round in the tracks you will immobilize it and the crew will have to get out of the tank to make repairs. There is frontal, side and rear armor for each tank, but the angle from where the round is coming from is also very important, if you hit a tank that is turned by 45° your round will bounce on its armor and fall elsewhere, so it gets really tactical.

The solos missions are interesting and all different, they take something like 2 hours to complete and there is 19 solos missions.

And you can buy it for 27 euros on steam.

great work of art and design, i recommend!

The shark doesn't impress me either, but nice picture of a walking shell !

Another one on the same theme, but heh, that was worth a try

a boy and his dog can go walking

a boy and his dog sometimes, talk to each other

a boy and a dog can be happy sitting down in the woods on a log

but a dog knows his boy can go wrong

hey only the chicks who like onions

Well I rather like "groups of cannibals who engross their female prisoners in order to eat their babies " than explosions

( i don't know if that will be in the movie tho :x)

Ahh post apocalyptic movies are so hype these days ( which is a good thing )

there's also the road, less special effects but hopefully as good as the book.

That's really cool mino, you improved a lot since your really first paintings, the volumes surfaces and lighting are there but you are lacking some important stuff which are the very basics of the drawing : composition and dynamism

i've made a paintover to show you that, hope you don't mind

it's a matter of simplifying your drawing with keeping in mind that principle

hope this help, at least making it helped me

"I read the poem and thought right away like, 'that's a video game,"

I read some parts of it, and looked at a lot of the paintings about it; and yeah i thought the same thing

it's hard to translate that universe into a videogame, i guess it's always the same dilemma, they had to make something gory, epic with a lot of explosions, flames, zombies and other warhammer like creatures to touch the largest number of players. But It's much darker symbolic and depressing than that :

Yo guys , since i'm out of a job and that i need to fill up (a lot) my folio to find another one.. I'm planning to do a little 3D scene into UT3 or Crysis; i still don't know.

My idea is largely inspired by tekkon kinkreet (the anime movie), i've made a first concept to lay out the composition, lines etc .. it still need a lot of work on the left side though.

i wanna be sure that most of the global ideas are in place in the concept before starting the 3D work, so if you guys have any critics, advices or ideas, go for it; i can tell you it will be really useful

3007 meters !!!! but ok, i played on a 500 Mhz, the game was fucking slow.

damn koreans , grats dux !!

Quote from DUFFY

What if the human race isn't meant to be the final incarnation of life on earth? You can't prevent population growth and overpopulation which means the inevitable need for more of the basics, it doesn't matter how much you recycle or how green your hybrid is. What about the 2+ tons of material needed to make that hybrid that won't be recycled for probably over 30 years? Buildings that might last 100's? Food a growing population needs, energy created for a species that uses it for the purpose of requiring more energy? Humans are a cancer. We are the antelopes, nature is our lion.

If all rationality is against us, what can we do ?

Quote from DUFFY

It's also really cute how this is funded by a textile conglomerate.

I tend to think the same thing

Quote from Pericolos0

the best art is created from a struggle with the medium

But why solving rational problems when the goal is to express yourself ? (ok i'm doing the devil's advocate)

oh and maybe Flixel, http://flixel.org/ that looks really cool

You can normal map your model if you want hp !!!!!

Congrats to the art team, i love the minimalistic looks of it, and the composition of the environments works very well

You could try to head on Multimedia Fusion 2 http://www.clickteam.com/eng/mmf2.php, it's a software designed to make 2D applications without programming but it still ask some time before mastering it.

Or you have Allegro http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/, at the difference of multimedia fusion, you have the entire control over your game, the graphic engine is already made, but still have to know a bit of C to code the game .

Good luck anyhow !

New maps don't sell that well unfortunately

Ah fuck. i'm sorry for you stepp, i'm pretty sure that you won't have any problem finding a new job elsewhere, althought it won't be as cool as a studio filled with mapcorians.

My internship at Phoenix is finished, i left the studio that friday, and well to summarize i learned a lot, lost many illusions i had about the video game industry ( part of getting older unfortunately, but it's a good thing ) and i guess gave a good image of myself, my LeadArtist was pretty satisfied with my input on the project and the art direction team told me that they would certainly recontact me for their next project in september/october.

I've learned by experience to be really careful about job offers promises, so that month it's portfolio time and job searches. Back on the road again motherfucker
