For anyone who was following our project, the December update is now out. We apologise for the lack of trailer, but it just wasn't quite where we wanted it. Video and Music are both finished, however sfx and voiceover are still being tweaked. It should be in the January update

December Update:

Welcome to the December Update. We know you have been waiting for this one for quite some time, however the wait was hopefully worth it.
Here will be taking a look at some images from the Trailer for the project. As well as some 3D renders of ships, and some concept art created by Phil Booth.

Trailer News:

Sadly due to unforeseen event's the trailer has been delayed until the next update.
Sadly things like this are expected to happen from time to time, as anyone who develops games can attest to.

It will be worth the wait, and it will be in the next update, guaranteed.

High Resolution Trailer Screenshots:

Here is some high resolution screenshots taken from in the editor without any of the image loss, that is lost in video encoding.

The Mosquito 3D Renders:

Created by Phil Booth, this ship is one of the heavier ships within the Terran Chance armada, and is capable of matching many of the UEA ships.
The Mosquito is a multi-role ship that can be used for anti-fighter purposes. It can also be fitted with torpedo's, and be used to attack larger ships, such as frigates/cruisers.

Hanger Bay Concept Art:

This is what the interior of the hanger bay will look like, showing you the daily activities of the crew, and the ships being maintained, and prepped for flight.

Pilot Suit Concept Art:

Space is a harsh environment, and therefor the pilots of fighters need a great amount of protection from the hostile environment.

Recruitment:

We are looking for more team members to fill the gaps, we are low on certain area's which is causing the production to lose steam very fast. If you want to join more details can be found HERE.

Notes:

We know the trailer was a anticipated feature of this months update, and I can only stress how sorry I am that it never made it in.

However as soon as the trailer is ready, is when the next update will be released. It will also be amongst other updates, as well a behind the scenes look at how the trailer was made too.

January Update

After much development on all fronts, it's with great pleasure that we can finally bring you the 1st trailer for X32i.

VIDEO

The teasers we released back in July and August were made to do exactly that, tease. This trailer aims to present some of the preceding storyline for the game, as well as showing off some gameplay from a cinematic perspective and of course, all the hard work that has gone into developing the numerous assets required for creating this trailer.
Having now been through this process and seeing how things will turn out once all the assets come together, we've learnt a lot from this process and it will help us greatly in our development of this project.

Rephrase: Haha, is there something wrong with the project You guys are usually pretty vocal on stuff. If you don't like something let us know, as we can at least take it onboard as feedback.

Again if you like what you see that's also good feedback!

Right, I realised I've been a little lax in providing updates to this forum over the last few months.

Old trailers and updates can be found on our Moddb pages, and our website, however here is the latest news from the project. Yes, there IS a trailer on youtube now, using assets in the Cryengine.

Well here's the April Update (I've stolen this from our moddb page, and have removed references to the April Fool's Update...if you wish to see it, pictures and video are still on Moddb).

For those who missed the transition, X32I is now using the UDK engine, and is set to be released as an Indie standalone title, instead of a mod.

X32I Episode 1 Stand-off?
Yes the project name has changed, this is due to the fact the game is going to be released in episodic format. As of today, there is currently 4 episodes in production:

Episode 1 - Stand-off
Episode 2 - Vengeance
Episode 3 - The Chaos of War
Episode 4 - Redemption
Each episode will contain a fair amount of gameplay, and content. Each episode will usually end on a high note, and some of the stuff we have planned for each episode is going to keep you on the edge of your seats.

FAQ:

What does this mean for the project and when can we expect it to arrive?
Good question, the project it self hasn't changed we just took the entire game and made it into smaller segments rather than trying to create the entire game all at once, which for a indie team would be huge amount of work. As for the release date, that's something we cannot comment on with concrete information.

Which games will the Episodic format of X32I follow, in terms of release schedule?
We are not going to make you wait years for each episode, like a certain developer out there does. The first Episode will take the longest to create, because we have to make the entire foundation, create all the assets, and the game code to power it all. Once the foundation is down, it's all just a matter of extending the content which will mean the following releases after Episode 1, will be a lot quicker. Once we have more concrete information, we'll update you with it.

Will each Episode end in a cliff hanger?
Each episode will generally end after something major happened within the story line for the X32I Saga, with some of the things we have planned it's going to make the wait between each episode a pain, but it will be worth it.

The Real Update:
Okay time for the real content, first up we have a in-game shot of one of the hanger bay props which carry various parts around the hanger bay, mostly in the form of weapon ammunition.

Next up we have 3 sketches of various ship designs, from the UEA Yamato, to smaller frigates.

We hope you found this update to be informative, and we hope you continue to support the project. We aim to make a really memorable experience and, we cannot do it without the support of the community!
