Nuking a Sathana's
Myself or Lucika will update this for your guys sake every now and then. So, for a first update, Lucika and I are tied up in RL and other projects. The first 5 or 6 missions are in a Beta stage right now, but since we can't find whoever used to be our beta tester/testers, he and I have to do that to. Currently, there are about 30-50 missions to do (don't laugh and scoff us, it's doable.)

Please don't ask when the demo will be out. We don't know yet ourselves.

So there you have it. Expect more updates in the weeks to follow. :)
 
Well, since it's been 3 weeks, I guess I should fill you all in again.

I haven't been able to get anything done sadly, as for Lucika, I'm not sure. Hopefully, I'll be able to work on it a bit during the Christmas break, but I'm not 100% sure how it will work out. Since not much has changed lately, everything is about the same as 3 weeks ago.
 
Okay, a quick update.

As for 1) I am back and I start to FRED the missions in Syrk.
2) Since those missions won't require much of a modding, I assume I'll be able to put together a 30-60 seconds teaser in two weeks or so.
3) As stated at least a trillion times, we're recruiting, basically for each and every position. From FREDders through testers to modders, everyone's help is highly appreciated.

Also, I'd hereby thank dragonsniper for keeping the forum (and basically the campagin) alive in the past few months as I had a really tough time in RL (five disasters, all at the same time).

And yeah, I'll sticky this thread.
 
Just a quick look at the progress:

Story - 300% done (no typo)
Mods - 90-100% done but Implementation - 5% done thus Teaser video - 0% done
FREDding - 12% done (just a quick estimation, of course)
 
I launched a personal development blog, most of the updates will be there but all the material and stuff will be here. So try to keep an eye out on both sites, right? :)
 
Yay, time for some juicy screenshots!
No mods implemented yet, hence the Ulysses and the Herc.

Subspace as you've never seen it before.

Something is seriously wrong here. Don't ask what.

Guess the priority set on "Chase player" :P

And a nice explosion for you as a bonus.

Another update. Nothing overly exiting though. We were not able to even get a teaser trailer together, due to "technical problems" (i.e. Windows Movie Maker being a piece of crap and uncooperative.) So, hopefully the screenies will hold off the mob for now. :D

Progress is slow at the moment, but new screenshots by the end of the month may be possible if you are good and patient, and if Lucika feels up to it. :D

So that's the weekly update. Expect more to come later.
 
Ladies and gentlemen!
Project Syrk has came to an important day: we've reached our one-year anniversary!
That's right, it was exactly 365 days ago when a naive and infant Lucika contacted the HLP community with high hopes and great plans about his campaign idea in this very topic.

As a celebration, we've put together a little video for you to see what kind of awesome stuff we've managed to put together!
Without further ado, I present the Glorious Link.
Enjoy! :)

Weekly update:

FREDing has started on several missions. Ships and weapons are being tweaked. Everything is moving along at a nice pace for the time being.
 
Okay, here they are :)
There is really nothing to say about these, I've just went through some of the missions with Fraps (supposedly, not actually) taking screenshots every one second. As such, there was like 90% of uninteresting dogfights so I decided to stick with these. A text update follows in the next post.



























 
I will post some more screenshots in one or two days - those will be eyecandies again.

As for the update:
We have weapons and ships (with some rarely featured ones yet to be added) -> FRED. Next to FREDding, I wrote a whole new intel database. We have a demo plan too - well, more like a short prequel depicting the outbreak of the rebellion. No release time yet.

Another note on the screenshots: the discussion is not yet to be seen at some parts, hence the big ugly red lines. And, as I've said before, there will be more.

We're still lacking testers, FREDders (personally I'd be happy to see a texturer /or who the hell does the reskins :D/ too) so feel free to join us if you have some spare time and are interested.

And one last thing: I am posting a poll regarding some of the ships (seen the FFPack ships?), we need your opinion on the matter.


That is all for now, stay tuned for more eyecandy.

Another news update. Things are moving along well. Ship implementation is nearly finished, along with the weapons. FREDing is moving at a slow, but steady pace as-well.
