[dteviot] Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Cool, now for the third screenshot do we want to do just a model? or do we want to do something ingame?I think the problem with a 3rd screen shot is lack of screens that are as polished as those two.The closest would be Equip Soldier, and it still needs some work.

[Mad] Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 ok, this is a first draft. What do you think? Dear xna developers, we at "Project Xenocide" (http://www.projectxenocide.com) are using XNA to develop an open source strategy game called "Xenocide".Xenocide is aimed to recreate the spirit and feel of Atari's (formerly Microprose) turn-based strategy classic: X-COM: UFO Defense in an entirely new game. The Player is finding himself in the position of the general commander of the X-Corps forces, an international agency determined to stop the beginning Alien invasion of Earth. His tasks are establishment and management of X-Corps bases, interception of UFOs, turn based Battles on the "Battleview" where he leads his squad against different types of Aliens, and finally, research of recovered as well as "terran" technology.A high resolution Earth model is used to display a fabulous "Planetview"-screen including shader effects for illuminated cities at night time and shadow-drawing mountains at day time. The X-Net, displaying research results, is filled with high resolution models and long descriptive texts aimed at scientific correct (or at least probable) explanations and descriptions of researched items. And although the Baseview, and especially the Battleview still require a lot of work to be done, you can clearly see where we are going with our efforts.The developing team of "Xenocide" is an international community, based in the US, South America, Europe, New Zealand and Russia. Project Xenocide is lead by Federico Lois, the initiator of the Project. Four senior members are coordinating the four departments: Artwork, Creative Text, Programming and Sound. A full listing of our active members can be obtained at: http://docs.projectxenocide.com/index.php/...ound_Department .Attached you will find screenshots of our "Planetview", the "X-Net" and ????, as well as a video footage of the Gameplay.

(i.e. remove ammo, add laser/plasma/stun weapons.)The equip solider screen will only show the items you've been granted access to, so to see the laser/plasma weapons, you'll need to modify research.xml, and put itemref entries into the RES_STARTING_TECHNOLOGY topicid.Final couple of thoughts about equipment sprites. We have a 3D model of the stun launcher (it shows up in X-Net) I think there's a number of images in the ART threads of stuff that was under development. Maybe we can grab some of them? A collection of free 3D models of ammo.http://www.turbosquid.com/Search/Index.cfm...&Submit.y=8ok, this is a first draft. What do you think?Looks pretty good Looks excellent, only a couple of points.They ask for LINKs to video footage, rather than the footage itself. (I assume they don't want their mailbox overflowing with 100Meg files).Add links to the downloadable 0.2 executable (with notes that it's a couple of months old) in case they want to try the game for themselves.Add link to the SVN repository, if they want to get the latest version.

Assign Soldier to Craft3. New Statistics screen. If you do a release build, the "Unit Test" and "Battlescape" buttons should be stripped from the start screen.And I don't think it would be unstable.

Does it show on a debug build, or is it always missing? How about if you change the Windows regional settings to English?You might want to load the OCR-A font into windows, that should give the "sci-fi" looking font on buttons. At least I think it's OCR-AFinal question, what graphic card are you running. (We're trying to build a list of the cards we know work/don't work.)

Darkhomb Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 While I would like to use higher resolution textures, It takes way to long to change to the geoscape screen and I have to change back several times. I will use a little higher but not crazy high. It took five minutes to load the biggest texture I had (I did look nice though ) Also I think I like the new night map I am putting in. You will see in a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkhomb Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) you will find the Xenocide video here. Went from a 5.1 gig file to 16 meg at 640x480. However in that directory is a 37 gig 800x600 detailed video. So shall we give them that one and let everyone else see the 16 meg one? this is unedited so I can edit parts if need be. [DavidT] Quick edit seems to work. So I'm adding my comment this way. The 16 meg file looks good, however I'd suggest that we only need to show equipping one soldier, likewise, for X-Net only show one or two items. And I'd suggest showing the Statistics screen. I would not send the XNA people the 5 gig file. If they want to see Xenocide in more detail, they can download and compile it. edit 2. I did not upload the 5 gig file, thats raw video, if you go to the /public/video folder and theres a 37 meg 800x600 video of the same as the 16, also the 37 video is 25 fps vs the 20 fps on the 16. I can edit the soldier and xnet parts when I get home. Edited January 15, 2008 by Darkhomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafros Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 I would suggest cutting the soldier equip part to just the last (or at most the last two) and keep the most interesting parts of the XNet, otherwise the video makes you lose some interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mad] Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Sorry, I only now got time to view the video.Very good stuff! But I've got some comments: If possible maybe try to:shorten the first buying/selling part, you do it again later anyway shorten the engineering stuff shorten the soldier equip part, three soldiers are enough I guess minimize the "uh I don't know, what should I do next"mouse movement maybe it is better to klick ok in the battlescape window. Or would it actually trigger the battlescape? xnet is long, but I think it stays within reasonable margins; removing one to three items should do the trick. maybe visit fewer items in the xnet, but instead always zoom in on the model. Especially on the X-CAPs and the facilities. can you rotate the models with the keyboard (don't know if it is implemented)? I agree with david, stats screen would be nice.Again, very good work.

Darkhomb Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Didn't know if we want to show battlescape yet, it just shows the model and blank cells.

[dteviot] Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm going to say that the video, as it stands, is perfectly acceptable. Nice job Darkhomb.Yes, it's a bit long in the area of equip solider and x-net, and it doesn't show the statistics screen and battlescape.However, its purpose is a "teaser" to show the XNA developers the best bits of XNA, and it does that job well. (Geoscape, X-Net, Equip soldier)I would expect that, as I'm providing a link to the source code, the XNA team will download the code and give the latest build a whirl. So including or not including the statistics and battlescape screens is unimportant, they're going to find them anyway.(Hmm, which makes me think I should add a note along the lines of "For purposes of the video, we adjusted the set of items that a player initially has access to, to just the ones we had artwork for.") At any rate, My plan is I'll e-mail our submission off to XNA in 9 hours. Using the updated video, if it's ready by then, or what we have now, if it's not.
