Apocalypse Rising AR :: April 2018 Update

[Apocalypse Rising Team]

 

Allied Chronosphere

In the Second World War against Stalin's war machine, the Chronosphere was an invaluable asset for the Allied Forces. Following the war's conclusion Albert Einstein continued to improve upon the Chronosphere from his Black Forest laboratory, effectively removing the drawbacks the previous iteration had. Chrono vortexes would no longer appear, nor would personnel inside vehicles become lost in the teleportation. Additionally, more units can now be teleported at once.

The new and improved Chronosphere would not be ready for use until late in the Third World War, but once deployed it turned the tide in the Allies' favour, much as it did in the Second World War.

Recruitment

ATTENTION all fans! We are looking for new staff members:

• LEVEL DESIGNERS! (if you can create terrain like this, or can complete the tutorial, please apply!)
• 2D/3D Artists for modelling/texturing civilian buildings and small props (Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, AutoCad, Blender or Photoshop/Gimp)
• Character Artists (feel like modeling some simple soldiers, or maybe Premier Romanov?  )
• A person with free time who wants to get into modeling/map-making (we will help you)
• An enthusiastic person who has a lot of free time, wants to help in development, can use a computer and speaks english (no skills needed!!!)

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. 
Note that you can include working here in your CV when applying for a job. A lot of W3D Hub Staff members got their current real jobs thanks to the experience gained here.

No skills? Need a lesson/tutorial on something W3D? Ask! We can provide a lesson or create a written/video tutorial on how to model, texture, etc. You can find out current roster of tutorials here.

Additionally, if there is a group of at least 3 people who want to get into modeling, map-making or learn about the W3D engine, we will launch an online training course. Any volunteers?

Nice! I love that model!

[NoSoldier]

Awesome mechanic. Looks interesting. (That minimegamap really shows the capabilites of strategy games in Renegade [and I am not talking about Emperor - Battle of Dune])

Even though I can't promise anything in terms of time put in, I would volunteer for the online course.

It is hard to see in the video but does your new map system include live updates on vehicle/infantry positions?

Interesting to see it functional either way!

I always wanted to see a map system for APB to replace the current building status page with, and instead have the buildings with health bars appear in their XY positions on a map, along with map objectives and whatever else is important to show on such a screen. I remember Saberhawk made a neat camera transition from 1st/3rd person to isometric top-down view and back again, that would have been brilliant for this.

We hope to avoid this, at least it should never show enemy unit positions. Otherwise it would be a Spy Satellite.

Will the power plant being destroyed shut down the chromosphere?

Yes.

Actually, that would be a neat idea for the Spy Satellite itself. Maybe not for the whole map, though, but an area around the Allied base.
