So whats been happening with TSC?, Concepts, Drop-pods, coding, pie. Maybe. Options

Well, DvD stole my thunder here, by announcing he is now working on TSTW minutes before I decided to post this, but ah well. Wish him luck people (but in his own thread not here!).

Anyway, to TSC.
We have been quiet scince the initial thread, but things are still moving onwards, slowly but surley. Most of the major changes are to balancing, coding and the exe/dll duo, so nothing too visual im afraid - the stuff that is visual is mainly either secret or incomplete. Still, Ive decided that, as its the end of the half-term break (for me anyway), we need somthing to show before everyone is depressed by work.

I will be revealing the story line behind the mod sooner or later, as the C&C3 demo is out soon. If it doesent live up to the C&C name, then TSC will probably take its place as the "true" (in my opinion) ending to the tiberium series. If its awesome, well..it'll be an "in between" of TS and TW.

So, to the images! Some of the biggest ones are links, as they are big. Most are concepts at the moment, I plan to upload some extra images when I get acess to them again/Nimron sends me his newest concepts, possibly of our favourite and slightly deadly crystaline substance.

Improved Drop-Pods!. I was never happy with the origionals, as the pods came down open - no way could infantry survive entering the atmosphere in open pods! They have been resized slightly too, so they fit in better with the new scaled-down infantry.

One of Nimron's early concepts, a hovering speeder. Unknown if it will make it ingame,may be an easter egg at worst

Two images of the same things, from different angles. Will eventually be made into a civilian building, obviously with a few more details.

This is a concept ramp, maybe joining the city areas together, if it works it may prove a very nice addition to the terain.

The city cliffs, in concept form

And finally, a good moan about TS's palletes. As you can see, the current one turns tiberium cliff destruction into smush. Yes, TSC will probably use custom palletes :biggrin: . Oh yeah, and also the not-seen-before cliff.

And thats all I have time for right now - Im going to keep you hanging in suspense regarding the new tiberium mutaitions ive been dreaming up...

EDIT: New forum update auto-resizes large images, so all of them now show...

Tartan, please do not use this thread for asking about getting hired by the odyssey team, use PM's or the Odyssey forum on PPM. AFIK, Odyssey works on a "you don't find them, they find you" system, so unless you can produce truly awesome results, don't get your hopes up.

And for the record, Callisto is not dead. As cdmt said, other things eat up my time :(. Currently I am in the process of studying for my GCSE's, as well as taking an NVQ level 2 in performing engineering operations. As you can imagine, this takes time away from modding. Once the exams are over I will have about 6 weeks of free time, in which I intend to get down to some serious modding . During that time I also want to try and get a few staff members on the TSC team (It's only me now, Derox seems to have left the community, and I cannot contact him in any way). Like Odyssey, this mod cannot be given a release estimate, due to much the same reasons - lots to do with not many people with time to do it.

Again, keep watching, and you will hopefully see somthing more after the exams.
