The Farthest Dawn

A TC Mod

Greeting!

As a long time lurker of the forum, and a Beta Tester since Beta 1, I cordially extend my hand in welcome, blah blah blah.

ANYWAYS, I am in the process of creating a Total conversion modification for Sins. Even though it is not out yet, I figured that it would be productive to get a head start on it, since creating a TC is a big project. The name of the mod is FARTHEST DAWN, and it centers around 4 races duking it out for one reason or another. Each race will (hopefully) have a different form of FTL, and completely different engine and weapons technologies, to keep things interesting.

My only purpose in informing you peoples is to generate as much possible interest in the mod. Because the number of people currently working on the mod is just me, and because I am only human, I am hoping that other talented individuals might assist me on this project. My skills are art design, writing, and 3d modeling. Therefore, I will need help with texturing, programming, importing of models, etc. If you are interested in helping, or you just want to know more, head on over to the mod's site, visdeviance.googlepages.com. I have basic backgrounds for 3 of the 4 races typed up, and I have some concept art for 2 out of the 4 races.

Way to start off with the encouragement there, Kosc.

I am going to be working on a Star Wars mod for this game. I won't be starting though until the final release (plus release of tools)....I really am waiting to see what will be possible and what won't.

There are still a couple of things on my wish list, such as being able to make multiple functionable planets within a single gravity well. I won't even mind if we have to use custom pre made maps for this to be possible.

I also hope to see some sort of 'fog of war' within a gravity well being a modable option.

Anyway, I hope I can be of help to you then.

I would think that multiple planets would be possible; all you would have to do is take an asteroid, give it some different abilities, and assign it a planet model. Of course, I know nothing of coding, so I might be completely wrong.

theres also the difficulty of getting between the planets...

anyway I have to say the backstory is pretty good, gl on the whole thing! (might make a not-so-bad book.)
