Mini-Status Update

Okay, time for a bit of a status update. Here's a bit of what we've been doing.

1) Working on missions. This is a slow and tedious process at times. We've got alot of missions started (probably on the order of 20) and were starting to focus on the first 9 and try and get those closer to being done.

2) Working on MODs. This is definately the hardest area to work on and its made so much easier by the amazing talents and abilities of Bobboau. We've changed a few models since we started and were rebalancing and working on the concepts to make them as interesting and as varied as possible. Styxx has also contributed a model design as has Snipes (although he's been absent for a bit). This is probably going to take another month or two to sort out but it should move quicker after that. We've also got to get some of the textures done on our ships as many textures are currently only placeholders.

3) Working on the website. My intentions are to replace the current website with something more intune with the theme of the MOD (now that it has been better established). When the new site does go live, we will be featuring information on some of our new ships for the GTVA and for Sol. Not just some information, but hopefully some nice renders and screen shots to boot.

Good news
It´s a shame that missiondesign is such a (sometimes) tedious process, tho...
I know what you´re going through

Of course, the fact that pretty much all of us are busy as hell has a lot to do with the mission design process being tedious. If you want BWO to come out faster, contact all of my professors at the University of Dayton and tell them to not give me any more tests/homework/quizzes/andor other general stuff so I can work on the campaign.

If you want names and numbers, email me.

Looking good. Of course, it's always looked good.

Looks like things just keep getting cooler cooler!

*smoking* Excellent. All goes accoeding to plan then?


Posted by IceFire on 09-23-2001 03:19 AM:

Pretty much. We're still trying to make Sol ships work both in concept and in-action. Its not just a new set of ships, they have different design and operational philosphies. Not groundbreaking mind you, but different nonetheless.

Aw, damn. This just reminds me that I forgot about the J*********... I'll work on it today after I'm done with some stuff Ace asked me a couple of years ago and I didn't have time to do until now...

No problem Styxx, I've been bloody busy with my UCAS (University Application) forms for the past two weeks and need to have this time off to catch up on homework anyway - I'm behind.

Still, on the upside I'm applying to Oxford...

See! This is what living on the Blackwater Ops Internal BB is like! Oooh! Oh, and it's Shrike that has contributed a couple of models, not Snipes. BTW Styxx, how are the conversions of Shrike's models, the A****** and the T****** going?

The A ran into some turret normal problems involving the two-part turrets, last I heard Styxx was looking into it, the T has to be finished by yours truly..... I'm rather busy w/ school as well.

But the A is really cool in FS, I feel so happy with it.

Don't worry, I'm as clueless on that as everyone else is. Guess I need to check the internal board more often.
