EDIT: Also, am I no longer a tester for AR/TSR?
We've temporarily shut down our testing operation for the time being, but we'll bring it back once we are ready.

I attended Global Games Jam last weekend at my old University. It's an event where we were challenged to make a game within 48 hours. During the event the organisers called me up for an interview, so here it is!
Also here is some footage from the game we managed to crank out (with a little help from TSR)!

It'd be good to get the FoV set to 90, but we'd have to a take a look at how the weapons are rigged up in order to do that.
I can always get in touch with Eggman891 and get him to maybe give me a crash course.

Heyy Icey! Long time no see!

There will be a blog coming very soon. Hopefully this week if I can get my mic fixed, because I really want to do a video!

If that's so, how will the Allied battle fortress and Soviet Siege chopper work?
The Siege Chopper will deploy using Q, pretty straight forward really.
The Battle Fortress will have lots of turrets attached to it, a bit like how the Mammoth Mk II has multiple turrets. However, these turrets will change weapon when you get inside them with different infantry. It will be totally possible to make a Repair Fortress if you really want to.

Will vetrancy be implemented as in the game where vehicles got a double shoot and explosions?
Which units from Yuri's Revenge will be in the game.
I think this may have been answered before but I didn't want to look through all 18 pages.
That type of veterancy is already implemented!
The Allies and Soviets will get all of their units from Yuri's Revenge.

Been able to destroy ore could be cool, if you were about to lose a field or something you could fire a few rounds and blow up some crystals if they didn't stop you, could add some neat mechanics but I could see how it could also be exploitable.
With the new system, you could get an Ore Miner along with a few comrades and mine the enemy's ore fields so that their miner has to go further than usual. It's a legitimate tactic!

aww, people cant fly it? D:
would be nice to be able to paradrop a squad of players flying the plane X3
Flying the plane wouldn't really add anything useful to the gameplay to be honest.

I'm not an expert but Javelin is fire & forget, not wire guided, also I have never heard that it can't be used on aircraft. Doesnt't matter.
You're actually right. I don't know how wire-guided got into that list. Maybe because the GGI missile has a long, wire-like trail that appears from the back of the rocket. The Javelin in real life can fire a missile 500ft into the air, which should be enough to hit a Kirov Airship.
what are the current planes, erm, plans, for transport aircraft (other than Nighthawk)
We're going to have C-130 cargo planes that the ai will use to drop things, but other than that the only air transport that is currently planned is the Nighthawk.

about the reinforcement bay, for the allies, would it double as AF command if any harriers are alive?
No it wouldn't. Any vehicles that are on the Reinforcement Bay's pad when a new unit is dropped will be destroyed to make way for the new unit.
However, Harriers will be able to use Tech Airports to refill their missiles.

Could we take a picture of a building made out of legos for the Reinforcement bay?
Because RA2 needs more Minecraft.
Of course! Minecraft, Lego Digital Designer, pen drawings, claymation, 3d modelling. You may use anything you like!
Acorns, even?
I mean, seriously. I probably have enough stuff to do it out of games...
Sure why not!

The Grand Cannon will be massive and scary, just like in RA2.The Grand Cannon better not move. It was a base defense in RA2, why would it be anything else in AR?
By the way, fantabulous job so far. Any progress on the Kirov, even though it's not a release one candidate (Unfortunately)
We do have a Kirov model from one of our old acquired projects, but it's not ingame by any means. However, as a tester you should be able to see that we've made a contingency plan for the future by making the Soviet War factory big enough to support them.

Thanks for answering my questions, hopefully my dreams of become a Desolator will come true soon
Cant wait till AR comes out.btw, When I mentioned the country bonuses, it was cut content from the original game where you get other bonuses other then the unit.
We could look into it but it may make the game unbalanced.

Something I've been itching to ask: Is there going to be a map where all bets are off and everyone gets all of their country bonuses? Just a specialty thing, not for every map.
Since the country system picks a country when the game starts, we could set a variable that makes the system pick an "all countries setting" for both teams on occasion.

- Will the desolator insta kill infantry with its main gun?
- Will the main gun do a good ammount of damage to tanks?
- When it deploys will it insta kill infantry cought in the zone? or will it be a Dmg over time effect like tiberium but stronger?
- Will the desolator do any building damage? perhaps be effective agiasnt the MCT?
- Will the radation zone be effective agiasnt tanks as well?
- I heard their will be a moon map, will desolators be there to? (We went to the moon to destroy Yuris HQ )
- I heard you guys speaking about country bonuses as well, what will Iraq's be?
- How will the terrioirst work?
- Will crazy Ivan be able to flame a tank/player with lots of bombs and get it to ram an allied tank/building and make a big explosion? [in renegade servers this is agiant the rules
] - Are you guys gonna give ivan diffrent bomb attacks?
- if so Will Ivan have a anti building bomb limit?
Sorry I asked quite alot, Iv only been around here for a couple of mounths and missed all the buzz and weekly blogs
Here we go, answers! First concerning the Desolator.
1. Nope. That'd be too overpowered for a shooter-type game.
2. We'll balance it so it's satisfying to use.
3. It'll be a damage-over-time type deal. It will probably do a fair bit of damage because it requires the Desolator to be stationary.
4. We haven't decided whether the Desolator should damage buildings yet, but if he does he won't be particularly good against them.
5. Not as good as vs infantry, but yeah, it'll be effective.
6. If we make a moon map, yeah!
7. The country bonus is that you get the Desolator. There weren't any other bonuses in RA2, so there won't be in AR.
Then concerning the others.
1. The terrorist will have the ability to run really fast, as well as a pistol and a bomb vest. You will have to click or push Q to detonate the bomb.
2. No, because Ivan's bombs aren't setup to be like proximity mines. They are timed.
3. Yes, he will have a small dynamite salvo and a large dynamite charge. Both will be timed and sticky.
4. Yes. It is currently 2.
the tesla trooper charge the abillity the reload the tesla turrets? and hi Iraq and the firts version add the units specials the factions?
Tesla Troopers already charge the coils in the current test build.
Country units won't be in the first version, but we will patch them in later.

I've scrapped that model in favour of the new conscript, which I shall be converting into a flak trooper.

Yeah, I've started.
But you'll never release it anyway! (j/k)We've redesigned the grizzly tank far too many times already, it's not going to change at this point since it's already unwrapped, textured, rigged and working ingame. We'll never release it if we keep redesigning everything every 5 months.
So has OWA started on the infantry?
:0 -
Aww but I'd just started making a new Grizzly model!! D:

Since launching the community we have been hearing several users voice their displeasure about how the user accounts, pms and forums from BHP have been retained.
To rectify this, we have consequentially deleted all of the normal member accounts, deleted all of the old pm's associated with those accounts and also deleted the old forums archive (which date back to the pre-BHP days).
The stats have been recounted, so that the post counts match up to the number of threads.
If any users have any more concerns, please feel free to pm either myself, danpaul88, TeamWolf or WallyWood about it.
