Popular Post Apocalypse Rising Team Posted December 30, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 [blurb]AR December Update[/blurb] Welcome to the DecembAR update! New soldiers join our roster!Note: Click images for big. Allied G.I. Out with the old GDI Soldier placeholder, in with the new and complete Allied GI! Modeled, textured, and finally in-game, the Allied GI is ready for some action! Created by @One Winged Angel and @Romanov together, the GI makes up the core of the Allied infantry. For close quarters combat, GIs are armed with the MPK5. Taking a more defensive position, GIs may also deploy a protective ring of sandbags around them and open fire with the FN Minimi Para. The Allied GI marks another completion to the RA2:AR infantry roster, as well as a huge milestone for the team. It feels great in-game, it's fitting of the Red Alert 2 style, and just looks badass. "Squared away, sir!" Soviet Desolator Hailing from Soviet-aligned Iraq, the infamous Desolator makes his appearance! Equipped with the dangerous rad-cannon and protected by his radiation suit, the Desolator is a potent anti-infantry unit. Firing a concentrated beam of radiation from the shoulder-mounted rad-cannon, the Desolator can melt away enemy personnel and wipe out entire squads. Additionally, the Desolator can deploy his rad-cannon and make a toxic environment for the enemy. While having to be immobile to do so, a deployed Desolator offers area-of-denial, forcing the enemy to rethink their advances. Desolator model and rad-cannon model created by @Romanov. "There goes the neighborhood!" New Team Member! True to our word of always hiring new team members, @devilslayersbane has recently been hired onto our staff. Given the task to produce a new Portable Flak Cannon, devilslayersbane set out to do just that and presented our Soviet Flak Trooper with a new toy. Project Leads One Winged Angel and moonsense715 were thoroughly impressed and had to show us internally for opinions and thoughts. Needless to say, we absolutely approved of it and welcomed him aboard with open arms. Official joining as a Modeler, devilslayersbane will be a valuable addition to the Apocalypse Rising team and to our W3D Hub staff. "This gun's heavy." Allied War Factory Internal moonsense715 continues to work diligently on our buildings and has further improved the Allied War Factory, both internally and externally. It's but a few textures away from being complete, and yet moonsense has made amazing progress on this visually appealing structure. "Vehicle ready." Recruitment We are always hiring new team members to speed up AR's release! If you believe that you can help us out, you are more than welcome to help! The following positions are open: 2 Artists for modeling and texturing civilian buildings and props. 1 Artist for making nature assets (trees, bushes, etc.) 1 Character Artist 1 Texture Artist/Photoshop User (optionally Unwrapper) to help in texturing building interior objects If you wish to contribute to this project and believe you have the skills, give us a shout! If you would like to contribute to the game and believe you have the skills, don't hesitate to apply! If you don't know if you have the skills, send us a forum PM and we can chat. If you would like to help in areas not listed here, that is also more than welcome. To apply, just send @moonsense715 or @One Winged Angel a PM (Private Message) via the forums and let us know which position you wish to apply for. Team Messages OWA is currently working on another game that you might just see in a Humble Bundle in January. moonsense715: *Tasks overload* Killing_You has been upgrading vehicle engine and weapon firing sounds. FRAYDO: Ready for the new year! 2017 will be grand! End Feel free to contact the team regarding testing applications for Apocalypse Rising and our other W3D projects and become an official W3D Hub Tester today! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Will the desolator affect light vehicles when deployed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor29aa Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Awesome new infantry textures. I tend to think of the rad-cannon as a step up from the tesla cannon Simply because the desolator irradiates his targets instead of just frying them. Although both are beam weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRAYDO Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Zapping infantry wasn't enough. Melting infantry into radioactive goo is where it's at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I love the look of that G.I model. He has the characteristic Renegade derp face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganein14 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Well, either try to become a tester, or continue to wait patiently then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killing_You Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 You're going to love how this game sounds. I've been very careful to stay as close to RA2 as possible while still providing some enhancements. I even managed to include some of the original engine sounds in a few cases; namely the Mirage Tank and the Siege Chopper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayonetta Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 IS this still on W3D engine? Aren't you pushing the textures too much? Or is it the other way around with this engine? it handles textures well but not Polygons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigglyJie Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I love the look of that G.I model. He has the characteristic Renegade derp face. Oh yes... But everything looks so neat that I can't wait to try this someday! But a question (though I assume for the sake of balance) that the Desolator deploy ability won't affect team mates this time around? Another thing that I wonder about, whilst the internal structures of this game look great and more 'expansive' I often worry whether or not it'll be more difficult to repair since you'd be running around the place trying to find the central hub? Or do these minor weak points also serve as a repair hub? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganein14 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Minor weakpoints are points in buildings that disable the structure, much like killing it would, albeit without actually doing so. In exchange, there are repair nodes throughout both Allied and Soviet buildings that will let you repair just as fast as if you were repairing at an MCT, but not have the MCT's weakness to damage. That damage bonus goes for the major weak point, and if I'm wrong on any points, may the devs feel free to correct me on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSpoons Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I like this guy. You're hired. Sweet, can't wait to start testing But a question (though I assume for the sake of balance) that the Desolator deploy ability won't affect team mates this time around? I think teammates will receive reduced damage or if possible be given radiation warning and a small timer of immunity but when that runs out they take full damage. If friendlies are given full immunity I suspect the mechanic will be used abusively 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWA Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 IS this still on W3D engine? Aren't you pushing the textures too much? Or is it the other way around with this engine? it handles textures well but not Polygons? Yes and no not really. Historically, W3D is not good with textures applied to high resolution meshes (if I remember correctly), but with more modern hardware, we can afford to throw the boat out a bit more on quality. Last time I looked, the typical infantry character in AR tends to have nearly double the polygons of the best looking infantry character in Reborn. Another thing that I wonder about, whilst the internal structures of this game look great and more 'expansive' I often worry whether or not it'll be more difficult to repair since you'd be running around the place trying to find the central hub? Or do these minor weak points also serve as a repair hub? To support what the other guys have said, I'll just quickly run through building objects in an easy-to-follow list. Purchase Terminal - Buy your Infantry and Vehicles here. Repair Node - Engineers and Technicians can use their tools on this object for a faster repair rate. The advantage of these nodes is that Engineers can repair the building safely without being gunned down by SEALs that are camping the Major Weakpoint/MCT. Minor Weakpoint - Easy to Kill, disables the building until it is repaired. Major Weakpoint - Hard to Kill, the building is destroyed when this is destroyed, much like MCTs in Renegade/APB/Reborn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodlied Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just a small thing to add here, Engineers can kill minor weakpoints very quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 So we can expect this sometime in the begining of 2018? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRAYDO Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 We must consult the Magic 8-Ball, Willy my man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missingno50 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Sweet. I'd love to see this game. When we're with the battle fortress, and it's heavily damaged, will it look like this?
