Netstorm remake project new pics!

Nice renders. I'm happy to see your progress because there are too many dead NetStorm remakes. Looks fantastic so far -- and there's a playable alpha!

P.S. You linked the first image incorrectly

Ladies and Gentlemen

Today I am very pleased to announce we have some brand new content updates from the Rising Storm fan tribute project to showcase!

These following pictures where first posted on the Colony of gamers forum this morning the COG site got first look and are now being posted here..

To start off we have a brand new rain player unit ready to showcase that is the ever handy Acid barricade!

So as droplets of the rains of life can bring life to parched soils and land so can the elements of rain erode and dissolve! Unknown Rain Priest

Feng has also finalized the ice cannon along with its ice shard projectile!

Feng our head texture artist and modeler has also done new island textures to allow for unit platforms for rain player to now have an icy snow cover and main islands owned by rain to also have snow these updates will be implemented soon!

Lastly here is a group shot showing the new platforms and rain units all together!

Not that very visible but in background of the group shot is the rain temple! Feng has started re-skinning the temple and bring it up to quality to match all other rain units and also fix errors that were with the temple! Once the rain temple is re-textured it will look much better in-game and also be more optimized.

Thanks guys

all these new rain units will be showing up in the next set of public alpha's so users will soon have a reason to play rain faction and not just the sun and wind faction that has been the most implemented so far! also it should be noted that the man o war pool is already finished and the only other rain unit left todo is the ice tower that blocks incoming fire and we already have the basic model finished for that one..

Small update: Our new coder working alongside our other coder has recently implemented the below islands details so islands are no longer flat! there are still adjustments to be made to correct the texture the undersides use so they match up with islands side detail texture then it will be a seamless look for both the islands edges and the undersides!

I cannot believe how hard you guys are working on this. Are you allowed to have kickstarters for this kind of thing? What are your end goals?

This is a strictly fan tribute project and we are not allowed at this time to raise any funding for the project since we promised the people that made the first game that we would not try to make money off it in anyway..

Glad you like the new progress update

and we should soon have a new playable build with more units and features implmented for the public to play test

Our end goal is to have the game fully finished with a complete online lobby system like first Netstorm had with battle rings and ability for player to make account and compete in game events.. we have a number of game play modes planned for MP games, also once finished players will also have ability to add AI players to battle rings so players will also be able to play humans vs AI if there are not enough players in the lobby...

This looks so cool. I've heard a ton of great things about Netstorm.

Amazing, extremely impressed. I never played netstorm (but I remember reading about it when it came out etc) and your version would be perfect to try it out for the first time. Hope you complete it, great to hear that you even have consent of the makers so it won't be shut down mid-development.

It is far easier to pour water from a gourd then it is to coax water to flow up into a tower! Nimbian Saying!

Feng our head texture artist has been busy working out of sight finishing up the latest rain faction units and today we are pleased to present a showcase promo render he has submitted of the newly finished Rains Man O War and the Ice tower units!

These newly finished units should make it in-game soon but I cant say which exact release they will be in but having these rain units finished has helped shrink the to do list of units for factions that need to be done! Superb work as always Feng!

Jharger and Duphrey have also not been idle and have been "Very Busy" with the coding side of the project! Jharger has been working on the much requested "Tool Tip" feature for in-game for making it easier to tell what everything on the interface does and Duhprey has been busy working on dedicated server hosting for connection issues and some coding tweaks and improvements to reduce some of the many lines of code that he has done along with squashing some of the currently reported bugs from previous Alpha release and readying things for the upcoming release. Once the upcoming Alpha is ready a full separate news post that lists in more depth all changes that our two high priest coders Duhprey and Jharger have done and what brand new features have been implemented by both will be posted!

OH. My. God.

How did I not see this thread before? Netstorm was my first RTS. In fact it was the first game I ever played online - on a 56k dialup modem and a Pentium 166.

It's also the first game where I saw competitive players and attempted to imitate them (without much success).

Nostalgia bomb. :3

The models are looking good. I hope the code works out well: make sure you add different colours for sun barricades!

You should check out my blog from a few years back. The player base is pretty small now but the game is still excellent (probably better than you remember thanks to the community patches).
