AR considered moving (and started working on a port) to UDK a few years ago. Our artwork actually looks pretty good in Unreal and I had stuff like flexible tank tracks and IFV turret switching working. The reason it fell through last time was mostly because I was the only one writing code for it, and I kind of had to drop it to focus on university. (danpaul isn't a fan of UScript). If we were to switch at any point in the future it would probably be to UE4 not the UDK though. I may port it myself at some point. Since I'm professionally working as a programmer now I consistently have less time than I used to but I'm not going to be forced to drop things by a sudden spike in work. If/when I start working on this I'll make it public...

Hey I thought it was great that you took the time to give real constructive feedback. You didn't just say "lol that grizzly is shit" you gave us areas that it could be improved upon, with examples. We're not going to do it though because the grizzly has been redone three times in the past...

There was a technical issue with the server but everything is back up and running now.

ofcourse. We're just not posting every week anymore.

this is not an open source engine no. Some of it's been hacked open, but all the internal code is handled by the tib tech guys for the most part. Danpaul is part of tibtech as is jonwill and a few others, so that's how we get our scripts in place.

We've already said in the FAQ. But there are currently no plans to add yuri as a faction. Yuri himself will be appearing as a soviet unit, like in red alert 2.

he's not dead. But now that he's back we've got so much to work on. It's been hectic lately.

Hurry up and post it, it's thursday

dont even joke about that whale.... Anyway my coursework's all done and i've passed with MMM, (could've done better but it's 3 grades higher than i needed for uni) I'll be seeing OWA and eggman at stafford later this year. oh and i'm back people.

Dan made decent turret AI that works on priorities a while ago, no longer will a tesla coil destroy a ranger when there's a demo truck right behind it.... Also we'll have randomly spawned trees.

well the current model is based on the voxel and it's fairly spot on. We do use some form of concept art for everything, FMV screenshots are the best though.

I forgot about that fmv with the terror drone. now we have FMV concept

Spys will have to be stealthy. i refuse to allow the allies to get a bonus for being able to jump and dodge bullets when they're meant to use stealth tactics to gather information.

IFVs aren't that much of a loss, they'll be fast but they will also have paper thin armour, don't try taking on a tank or a tesla trooper with an ifv..... however if your playing against cuba..... just don't get out of your IFV unless you're right next to a pillbox or you may have super fast mini demo trucks on your hands.

Garrison system is up for alot of working through to get a viable working method. The Spy IFV was an idea that ben came up with, it's not been decided upon wether we want it ingame or not.

It's subject to change later when we bring them into the game, but seeing as how we're adamant that there will only be a single tanya and boris ingame at anytime you can count on them being able to cause alot of havoc in an enemy base. For now i'm going to say yes, but they wont instantly destroy a building, the main balancing point is that they'll be vulnerable while destroying a building, boris for example will have to keep the laser pointer on the building meaning he cant use his AK and what we're going to do for tanya remains to be seen, i'm kind of against disarming bombs, particularly with a blow torch >.<

Tanya yes, but it'll take two seals. On account of you only having one of each building makeing something as low end as a seal one hit a building is a little over powered.

Also boris and tanya wont be in till alot later so GGis and telsa troopers

Minor weakpoints will allow you to damage the other side quickly and employ hit and run tactics to weaken them before a full scale attack. The minor weakpoints will die very very very quickly, the major weakpoint wont be viable to destroy on your own unless you're an elite or you're a boris/tanya or an elite boris/tanya o_0

What we've settled on for now is that the minor weakpoints will die really quickly and cause some bad effect until they're repaired. No/Low power, Harriers unable to reload, Terror Drones go offline, half/no credits, ect. And the major weakpoint will knock the building out for good but take about five times longer to die. Multiple minor weak points give us more options, you'll have to wait and see

the water used within fusion doesnt become radioactive at all, the lithium does however, but then again i dont suggest breathing in lithium either. No the point about fusion is that the heat created forms plasma which is burnt to generate the energy required. Which is where my knowledge ends, how the hell they convert the heat into electricity i really dont know, but the majority of plant designs do not use steam driven turbines (they're really really not efficient).

That's steam coming out of a nuclear powerplant, if it's smoke you should worry. Fission works on the premise that radioactive rods heat water, create vast ammounts of steam, turn turbines, which turn magnets inside dense wire coils which generates an electrical charge. Fusion works on the premise that when two atoms combine (this is true for anything larger than iron 56), they tend to combine into a single nucleus which is smaller in mass than the combination of the original pair, the excess mass is expelled as heat energy, which is then used to heat water, turn turbines..... you get the idea. The thing about fusion is that the isotope used in most designs is a hydrogen isotope and they use lithium to pickup neutrons that fly off randomly.... Enough of the chemistry lesson, no released steam, go read a degree level chemistry book

Allied technological advances have made it a hydrogen powerplant, there's a very small star in the middle of it

I apologise for nothing If it locked up your computer you need to buy some more RAM... 512MB just doesnt cut it anymore.

I blame the various versions of max that we used to use and the tens of times things ended up being converted.
