Fantasci, New Movie and Screenshots
by Edward · 01/23/2008 (7:21 am) · 1 comments
Greetings. We have begun ramping up our workload at bit. Vic, our 3d artist has started back on some of the last of our major models. We are hoping to make some more additions to our growing team. We got our new Title screen and Promotional title in.
We do have a new movie in this post, its down below, enjoy.
We have started contacting our other team members. We bought our musician, a new digital synthizer with over 400 different instruments. I love Christmas discounts. We bought a ton of stuff from a few other places. Some of which will make it into Fantasci, some will make it to some of the side projects that are on our back burner.
So what to expect. Well this upcoming week, i have the task of finishing setting up the teleporter system that goes from each mission and board. So you can expect to see some of the new original board shots, as We put together the new singleplayer demo. We have several board that will have sections that have been cut off from the players 800 years later, due to items such as damage, time, and contamination. We have finally gotten our first color promotional cover, this will be our CD cover and some of our promotion items. We are hoping that our 2d artists will have a draft of the next major promotional item by the end of the next month or 2.

We have got our Website back up.
www.fantascihiddenwar.com
We still dont have forums, We are looking for a full time webmaster to remedy some of those issues. And Yes, the gallery will be up soon, 56k isnt kind to the uploading process of so many photos. So if all goes well it will be up soon for you viewing pleasure. We hope that with our postive honest blogging, the huge amount of material that we have previewed to you our fans As well as the communication as Lead Producer, i have kept up with the rest of the community. We have been able to prove to you that Fantasci is the one of the best projects in this contest. Tick Tock.
Now as we show this movie, i wanted you guys to note this is all taken from a single mission, all the little green names you see, the Draat, are all Aiplayers that can be seen from the player. Alot of folks ask about framerates. FPS is good, fraps takes a bit of framerate, but at a average of 40 FPS i think we have some decent optimization. I made a note in the movie of the open air setup, rest be assure, this isnt a open level, we have ways of keeping a player contained.

What are the Draat. The Draat are the game primary Badguys. They are part of a larger picture. The simpliest way to explain it, these are truly in the scope of the story the least of your worries. The Draat are organized into Castes, The Research Caste, the Warrior Caste, and the Master Class. In the Demo you will only see the Research Class, we have several items reserved for the full version.
These Draat are very passive, and direct in their observations. They have no understanding of human observations. Which is why you see the Fantasy zones and the Atlantis zones. Not to mention the Elves and Orcs variations. Which incidently, occured when the Draat observed that such creatures were indeed creatible and observable though their technological methods.
The Draat have a simple primary objective. Create and study human behavour for the purposes of understanding their method of creating War.
This is coupled with their nanotechnology, a biological compatible technology, that allows for flash cloning of new models and the ability to even channel a bodies internal energy to power weapons and fantasical effects at a distance. This basis of their technology allows for the creation of seemingly magical effects, and even the activation of latent psionic abilities found within their original test subjects. (This will be revealed probably during the Full Version).
So Yes, a layered and very indepth storyline. Each race has its own storylines, which get built on , with the full version set 800 years in the future after this version. You will find alot of neat and fun things that ill try to through in, creating not just another RPG, but a huge storyline with unique characters, races and backgrounds. Need more proof? Keep up with us and as we try to please.
Well thats all for this week. Whats next? Well that depends. Want to see something specific? Ask us, We are trying to run a fairly open development process. We love to please our fans.
I wanted to also make a notation that we are waiting to see how this quarter will end. We will keep you all informed and our ear to the ground on how things turn up. Were coming to the nitty gritty, want to see our demo, hang in there it will be released publicly probably soon after the contest. The more support we get the better our team and product will be. We are still looking for programmers and artist. Programmers must have a AFX liscence. Artists, just need to be dedicated to a awesome project with a long term goal. Dont believe us. Back up the 3 pages, check us out. Check my teams work, check my team out. Were a team, not a health spa.
