Archief - GC 0.4, preview pics!

While we are still in the process of wrapping up coding and balancing on version 0.4, we wanted to let everyone know some of the things they can expect.

0.4 will feature a strong new focus on ground combat, and will include 7 new vehicles. The most obvious of these new vehicles, is the T-3B rebel assault tank. Heavy and well armed, this behemoth brings strength to the formerly weak rebel ground game. The empire is employing a new ground craft of it’s own, the Firehawke, and both sides are now bringing out the big guns… Artillery units.
Artillery is a first for GC, and we’re taking the time to make sure they are quite effective at delivering destruction to out-of-sight targets.

We are also spending a lot of time in 0.4 cleaning up code and art from the previous releases. Judicator is getting an overhaul that will greatly effect it’s balance. The damage tables have seen the inclusion of several new armor and weapons types, and a fine tune of all the numbers to deal with the new ground game.

0.4 will also include the winners of the public mapping contest! We greatly apologize for the delay in the contest results, as we wrap up work on the build. We’ll be announcing the winners soon.

There are also a few secrets in the 0.4 build, which will be our second largest update ever. A full featured list of changes will be made available just prior to the release. Enjoy the new images!

Ah very good. I'm sure you are aware of Django's efforts of getting an AT-AT working in GC. What is your stance on his progress and is an AT-AT something that you are currently working on or are thinking of working on?

Luuri: Ah yes, we're generally impressed by his efforst on the AT-AT. There's still some work to do, but he's getting there. Our own AT-AT has been on the works for some time now. Both MUHAHAHAHA and AbblePC have been working on it. With the option of animated states closed for vehicles, we've been looking at a mixed rotational bundles for some time, and also a mixed bundle/skeletal frame combo, similar what makes a tank's threads move. But there's no timeline on when, or if, this will work. Mostly the problems we've been facing are the same kind Django has been experiencing.
residuel: Hopefully you guys can get the kinks ironed out. It would be a tremendous accomplishment for the Battlefield engine.
Lurri: Certainly, plus the AT-AT is a Star Wars image, which would be cool to have ingame
