<a href="http://www.starsiege2845.com">SS:2845</a> total conversion mod for Tribes Vengeance has taken on a new look and a new url. The new URL is http://www.starsiege2845.com , soon you will also be able to get to the new site via the old http://www.ss2845.com URL as well. With that being said lets get on to the updates for SS:2845.
<blockquote class=p>Things have slowed down a bit because we are in the middle of the actual legal wrangling with Sierra necessary for this project to move forward, and it is taking a bit of time to get squared away. In addition to that there is also a bit of back and forth with the story going on that must be hashed out to Sierra's satisfaction as well. We expect these issues to be cleared up soon and full forward momentum can return.

That being said we have not been sitting idle. In addition to the usual multimedia experience of our pub updates we are including the bio sheet of one of the three main playable characters in our story, which have all gotten the "all clear" for use by Sierra.

Yes, I said three main playable characters. In a break with typical ES/SS gameplay, in our game there will only be one campaign, however it will be broken up into 3 distinct sections where you play one of three different characters. It will feature a branching plotline where the choices you make affect the games outcome in different ways.</blockquote><p>You can check out the updates with pictures at <a href="http://starsiege2845.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2821&st=0&#entry28836">this link</a>.

Nothing like some good Wrangling. As an FYI, we're going through the (annoying but necessary) legal steps required to allow them to use our intellectual property. It's not fun, but it's slow.

i hope the tribes community will rally around this mod, even if they dont end up personally loving the gameplay or whatever. dig?

being a beacon for artists and being known as a PLACE FOR SERIOUS MODS is a big plus.

if we dream of TV having 10,000 people online at any moment, mods like this can really help garner that "buzz" not just about T:V... but around it.

SS:2845 -- FOXED!
 
You know I have to say, I'm real impressed with SS:2845.

It seems to me like the SS:2845 team is putting in as much work and effort as a full game development house would on a regular retail game they planned to sell, and yet they don't even expect any kind of money for it all. They do it just for the love of the game. Not to sound corny, but SS:2845 is an inspiration to the entire modding community no matter what game they're making mods for.

Keep up the great work guys. I'm as excited about SS:2845 as I am T:V. :bigthumb:

Thank you. That actually means quite a lot to us. We DO love the game, and the setting. The fact that folks can respect and appreciate that makes the effort worthwhile in spite of the lousy pay scale. ;)

it's much appreciated by many, and i think not just within the tribalwar community (ive pimped you guys in unreal2 xmp beta community and elsewhere)
 
Thanks much for the kind words and support. Figgy's comments pretty much summed up the feelings for all of us working on the project. We hope to not disappoint with the final product.
 
how soon will this be available after vengeance is done.

if the info is on the website, i'll check it out later. just haven't had alot of free time available lately
 
Well under a best-case scenario it might actually ship in-box with Vengeance. That is entirely up to Sierra however. If they don't like what they see they can hit the kill switch at any time.
 
I want to piggy-back on what everyone else has said in praise of ClanCore and give you guys a :bigthumb:. Proclone, Audacity, and Chemeleon's modeling and skinning work is first rate, and it inspires me to try harder. Your new website is pretty and functional, a very nice design. I admire the quality of work you maintain and display, and I wish for the best with this game and your other adventures. Please don't ever pass up the love of the game for anything else, and remember that the community matters above all.
