Finally the game will use pyrogenesis engine or not? (it says so in the wikia, I know that could be outdated). They look very nice!

Yeah I'm still making this for Pyrogenesis. I've just not gotten much done because lack of time. I recently had a full time job for the last several months and it pretty much nuked all my time. :rolleyes:

Dudde, use some Synthwave and Trance music for the soundtrack and I am "in."
Have some independant artists in this genre. Can get permission. Would be fantastic fit!

Expand  

The soundtrack will pretty much be all 80's synth, which each race's tracks have their own spin on it. Here's a sample my composer has made: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bzvcco4t9almmxa/SigmaTheme_NorinTheme.mp3?dl=0

Wow. This is inspired. The spirit of Vangelis. Sounds a little like Blade Runner! "All those... moments... lost...like tears... in... rain..."

 

Can you give backstory to the mod? Is there a storyline? Must be desperatation. Edge of annihilation. Humanity on the brink, fighting against all odd. A fighting retreat, then a desperate last stand. We will not go gently into that good night.

That track is one that plays when you play as the Jevorons (the blue creatures with the orange eyes, like in my icon)

Here's a few more, these one's play for a different race:

The Undying Nephalim:  I really like your work; keep it up.  I think it's awesome that people use the Pyrogenesis engine for creating RTS games. :-)  Plus I could use a good sci-fi RTS game personally. ;-)

I'll keep on trying to get this done. I just have to battle with my day job.

I guess I can give a little backstory. I guess first I'll blurb about the different races.
The Zevestivan 

  Reveal hidden contents


They are a bunch of reptilian nomads who live on a barren desert planet. Some time in the distant past they had an empire that spanned the stars, but their civilization collapsed on itself. What's left on this sand world had to restart in a dark age of lost technology. They've recently discovered a means to travel between worlds again and have set out to find their true world of origin.


The V.R.A.

  Reveal hidden contents


A race of genocidal expansionist machines. The original creators made them to be like living beings in every way. Over time it seems their creators abandoned them or were destroyed. Left without guidance, the VRA devolved and rid themselves of emotional components to survive in space. Now they go from world to world, stripping them bare before moving unto the next.

The Sov

  Reveal hidden contents


A race of bureaucratic, capitalist insectoids. They control an extremely vast commercial empire spread across multiple galaxies and billions of worlds. The have created a massive army of automated droids as their military.


The Mylock

  Reveal hidden contents

The Mylock, like the VRA, are a race of created machines. They are much more evolved and were created to travel into and explore hyper-dimensions. As such individual Mylocks are nano machines, with billions of them connecting to form larger forms.


The Ekoset

The Ekoset are massive, cybernetic flora. They travel from world to world, terraforming them into greenhouse wastelands. They possess extremely advanced, self sufficient technology and energy shielding.


The Jevorons

  Reveal hidden contents

The Jevorons are hyper-dimensional entities. While certainly conscious and sentient, it's unknown if they really classify as a life form. They inhabit the fourth dimensional crystalline latice that weaves its way through the universe like a skeleton, entering our three dimensional space to explore and guide other races into harmony.


Aabtani

  Reveal hidden contents

Aabtani is Jevoron who broke away from its people over a disagreement of purpose. Instead of living in harmony with the Crystalline Lattice, Aabtani discovered a way to control and manipulate the hyper-dimensional structure as a weapon, creating a warped army that houses its will. Aabtani now spreads across the universe with the intent of usurping the Jevoron's dominance of space.

@Undying Nephalim:
You are the most undying nephalim ever Chasen. I am looking forward to these crystaline lattices. I will do what I can to help you. I also am working on drone armies, so there is some overlap between your and my works. Not only in terms of required functionality, also artwise (it will take a long time (decades?) till our time machine 0B.C. reaches the extraterrestrial phase though).

I suppose I can show some of the things I've haphazardly worked on over the last six months. These were the last models I made, a few weeks ago. Two units for the Ekoset:

After I finish making the models for a faction in my other mod I might set aside a week or two to finish up the models for the Ekoset here.

What I got fiddling around:

It's kind of a hack right now but if you like the effect I can make it work better and put it in-game after A18 is released.

Current system can tint the skybox so it looks perhaps more realistic (could probably be made to only color rays that look towards the ground). I also use an optional fresnel so you can make it fully chrome or only reflective at sharper angles.

Edit: yup. Can probably look right on maps where terrain won't change color much.
