New version has entered internal testing phase. There are tons of improvements as well as implemnted features. 0.89 will be used for lauching the public beta. We will probably resign from implementing ufopaedia at this stage, and instead bring you the working and playable game sooner. Now its time of testing, last polishing and doing some graphics, and .. we’re ready to go. With so much time spent on making the game I wasnt really able to write news. Now with so much work done, i dont really know what to write or what to show… a lot of stuff was added, i could probably fill a couple of pages with screens. But soon everyone will be able to see for themselves, so i’ll leave it be.
As to release date. It wont be this month. Chances for it being the next month are hoever quite high. So it will probably be somewhere around july.

Outstanding!
PLEASE…give us a little more details…
I realy like to know how the game is developing.
and I really enjoy fresh news every day…
the UFOAI give us news one time by month. sigh.
Thank you for your hardworking. Please do not hurry and we have enough patient for waiting.
guys and maybe girls…:Pi think u have done a great work so far.the game is progresing fast.sorry for my eng:P.im realy waiting to see the beta testing and i hope u continue ur hard work in the future.gj
btw all im not critisising but all who has done these projects ai u open xcom….maybe u less.:Pall r saying about multiplayer:)im a fun and i want single player:PPPP.i always loved better a single player game than multi:P i mean no offence.i hope u can deliver both.
Morpheas:
Single player is already implemented
I’ve played it and died many times
Great news!
Will the public beta version already be independent from the original game files?
tomS:
No, many graphics has been redone but there is still much to do.
As for sound/music, nothing is redone unfortunately.
You are doing truly grat work. Demo was great, and i cant wait for beta relase.
may i propose something?:Pabout music?:P can u make a folder in lets say documents,where u can put ur kind of music and play what ever is in the documents random or in order reading?see what format the old music has and just say to the manual or the site or a popup in game menu(or before start the game) how to do it. i dont think its too much trouble if u can program the games network code:)its just a sujestion but this litle options can make a game even grater:)no offense again i hope u at least read it:P
Simply fantastic. I had no idea such a project existed, but this is EXACTLY what I have dreamed of ever since I first played x-com on the psx over a decade ago….. How cool would that be? If those aliens were controlled by another player… building his own bases and such, terrorizing my planet! *oh no he didn’t!!!*
…. oh yes he did!
Imagine if I actually HAD to flee battle sometimes instead of save\load spam as REAL player was behind them sinister incursions! =D
X-com… with multiplayer… not just lame battle scenes… but the whole damn campaign!?!?
DREAM COME TRUE… that’s all i can say, if this mod comes out half as good or complete as what is planned, I can’t see why this would not become a legend in the x-com community!
I hope the original creators of X-com smile when they see this game go live! I cringe every time someone makes a new lame UFO inspired game with no campaign multiplayer.
Yep…… I have watched and tried other x-com multiplayer mods like UFO2000, I have played other x-com inspired games, but always been left severely disappointed. Battles are fun, but without the economic and geoscape part of the game, what’s the point of even having multiplayer?
Thank you guys very much for doing this! The nations are well pleased with your progress and have decided to increase your funding accordingly.
+1,000,000,000,000
I can’t wait!!!! O.o
Morpheas’ idea of a folder to point to for custom music is a neat one…If it’s a fairly standard format such as .mp3 or .wav, it would provide a lot of flexibility for users and mod-makers to customise the experience.
But that would be far down the list of features I’d be implementing. Bring on the beta!
To play a random music from a playlist you can use any third party music player run in the background, and disable music in ufotts. Will work exactly the same.
There are music for the word map and diferent music when in battle….so…multiple folder for with kind of music?
I wouldnt expect too many people to have music divided into categories that will work well in tactical, geo and interception. Usually people have ‘general’ music that they like. Anyways, game uses mp3 music already, and anyone can substitute it with their own music if they want to.
Great job!
Thankyou
there r many options if u think about it…:)
1 is to have 2 music folders or 3 for each tactical, geo and interception(with 2 forlders u have only geo and tactical and leave inter..).
2 is to have an interface like options before game starts or in game that will disable the music for this 3 options above and u ll bronze the folder the music is in for the 3 options above.
3 is just disable the music 1 button that will disable in all 3 options the music and have 1 folder with lets say 2 tracks and when it goes from 1 phase to the other it ll just stop playing the track no1 and will start the track the no2
im being pushing things so i drop the subject after this post i hope u can make the game with (love):P inside:)
the first option i mean with out interface just folders
and it doesnt have to be implamented right now u can add it later when ur job is lighter and dont have so much coding:)
last post
keep the good job ppl
NeFuRii
Anyways, game uses mp3 music already, and anyone can substitute it with their own music if they want to.
so there is a place to change the music right now in the game or the music is coded in some kind “.dat”
file?
droping subject and sorry for spaming:P
LONG LIVE UFOS:P
Morpheas. On the steam version I have u can see the separate geoscape songs etc. They are midi tracks though. I’m sure someone said if u rename your own track to replace them ot works. Haven’t tried it myself though.
NeFuRii have a release for July 1st
Canada Day
