December Update 2008

[Jack Hammersmith]

Welcome everyone to todays holiday update.

Santa has been kind enough to share some of our great progress, these wonderful and exciting months. We'll present new amazing aircrafts, buildings and more.

Being a C&C modification is both a honor and a huge commitment, we are following a great franchise that is loved by all of us. There are no gamers who don’t know this legendary universe.

Our talented ex-team member SAM has already modeled the amazing GDI Orca Hover Craft, and now it has been optimised by our new team member Fluffy Opossum who has also modeled the NOD Harpy Helicopter. Both give excellent gameplay opportunities!
Shown below are pictures of the GDI Orca and the NOD Harpy.

Team member Akustav has put in time and effort to perfect the NOD Power plant, giving it both exterior and interior, he is now optimizing the model and texturing it.

The Tiberian Genesis Team is working hard to optimize the models and enhance the textures to fit the high quality that C&C fans all over the world are used to, and with the new CryENGINE2 it will look and feel even more spectacular than ever.

Our expert programmers Uranwen, Electron and mildesign have progressed greatly in developing the excellent mechanics and features the game will provide, to enhance the gameplay and the experience even more.
Below is a list of mechanics that are now being developed.

• Dynamically growing Tiberium fields (video will follow soon)
• Netcode resource management pieces created for the cryENGINE2
• Full Buildings spawn system enhanced for the MP GameType

As promised a new year present for our community. We have created special wallpapers for your desktops, attached below are the excellent screenshots created by team leader Jack Hammersmith with a special thanks to the game designer and creative director Roy Shapira.

The Tiberian Genesis Team is still recruiting talented Modelers, Texturers, Animators, Riggers, UnWrappers, and C++/LUA Coders as well as Scripters, so if you are interested or you know anyone who might be, please contact Team Leader Jack Hammersmith here.

We wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year 2009

An update! Nice!

So these deployable buildings can even be entered?
What would happen if it was destroyed when you are inside?

[Jack Hammersmith]

Then you would die of course. ^^
Currently the building creates a big explosion and everything in it will be taken with it.

So, were's that video of growing tiberium eh?

Edit: I still use your wallpaper as desktop background =)

[Jack Hammersmith]

It´s in progress, the Tiberium grow system is finally working in MP and even damaging the player, makes a lot of fun.

[Trukem]

Sounds nice! How far from the relaese of tech level 1 are you?

Btw, is that video coming up any day soon?

[Jack Hammersmith]

Techlevel 1 is fully in development process, but since most of the game mechanics have to be included and all of the models have to be done (modelled and textured), it´s still a long way till completion, more modellers/texturers and animators would speed it up though.

To the video about the Tiberium:
We´ve got a stable multiplayer version of the growing Tiberium already, but we want to present it in a more advanced (huge fields) and more exciting (large battles) way, so some more coding has to be done and we are slowly establishing a first alpha for presentation purpose in multiplayer.

[Trukem]

Oh nice! I really hope that you get more modelers and texturers, oh btw there was one in your latest comment on ModDB that said he would gladly join the mod team as a modeler.

Is he on the team yet?

Well keep up the good work!
