I have been busy this weekend, and haven't really listened around or looked into it, but what happened at E3? Any good news out of there, or any cool new toys that were revealed? Just wanted to know if anything exciting happened or was announced.

I thought I'd go ahead and post an offical announcement about our mod, and a request for help.

Our modification is based on the European theatre of World War Two. Not on any specific event really, just that time period. Although the maps may be of familiar settings.

Invasion of normandy is a RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter). In other words it's a cross between Command & Conquer and Medal of Honor. There are two sides. Each side has a "General" that plays the game as an RTS. Their job is to build, research tech, and guide the troops. Everyone else will see the game in first/third person. The point of each match will be to destroy the enemies Command Center, basically their main building.

For more details please visit our site at: http://fire.prohosting.com/ionmod/

This is just a temporary site to get things rolling. We do have a forum to keep incontact with our developers. The public is also welcome and encouraged to post their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions.

This is what brings me to this forum. We need a few positions filled. We have acouple programmers and scripters. We also have a 2D artist who is working on the GUI.

We are in of modelers and skinners at this point. The Savage engine (technically called the Silverback Engine) is very moddable, and we have all the tools we need to create the mod. We are merely missing the personnel to complete all aspects of the mod.

We are primarily focusing on obtaining 2D and 3D artists, though we are open to any help anyone would like to provide. If you are interested plase send me a private message.

If you want to find out what exactly an RTSS style game is like, go download the demo of the game Savage from which we will be modifying.

Thanks!

I've played loads of Natural Selection. It's alot like Savage, except based in in the future with Marines and Aliens.

Commanding other humans is much fun, even when thay don't follow orders 

Yeah natural Selection is pretty popular with several of the Savage players. I'm a big fan of the Aliens movie, so NS is definately my kinda game!

Even though people don't always listen, with voice comm it's nice to be able to tell people to go do something rather then have to click them and interupt something your working on. But you definately get people who piss you off by not listening to you and doing there own thing! It's definately interesting to work with actual independently thinking minds rather then just AI.

Clan matches are pretty fun for Savage as well since the entire game is base on good team work.

Thanks for moving this to the correct board. Sorry I didn't get it in the right place the first time. :rolo:
