Released Mods / Re: Terrain Pack considerations

« on: November 27, 2019, 09:45:18 am »

Just a random thought. Maybe mods should have specific licenses?
To avoid similar situations in future.

For example, i guess for Terrain Pack, most appropriate would be CC NC SA:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

(I'm not saying Hobbes should license his mods under this license, i'm just giving example)

IMHO you should work on materials and lightning. In this grenade video everything looks too shiny, even ground and grass.

Hello,

I'm not saying that you want too much money for what you want to implement. I'm just saying that IMHO there is zero chance now that you will get it.

Xenonauts had community and more impressive demo / trailer.
Phoenix Point had Jullian Gollop name behind it.

I think that what you have now is not enough to convince people to fund your project.

Maybe you should concentrate on doing one map, one alien, one weapon but make it look impressive.

Maybe you should consider other ways of funding for now. For example patreon. And slowly build community.
Release demos often, etc.

Sorry for being honest, but i think you should work more on your game before trying to kickstarter it.
Currently trailer shows that your game is in very alpha state.

You are aiming for higher goal than Xenonauts 2, which looked much more finished when they made their kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/69341191/xenonauts-2-strategic-planetary-defence-simulator

Also, they had large community from Xenonauts 1.

I really doubt you will manage to reach such high goal.
Also, why so many stretch goals? I counted 7 stretch goals over 780K - which is more than Phoenix Point have got on FIG funding ($765,948).

Sorry, but at this state i doubt you will get more than couple thousands.

Anyway, good luck!

Yep, me too. First impression - some dude wearing a suit. His eyes, nose and "mustache" looks too human.

Lot of questions about Phoenix Point:

Also about OpenXcom:

No I haven't contacted the developer on openxCOM, but I have been following it. I have played several versions over the last year, and also the Xpiratez mod.

Released Mods / Dedicated mod boards rules

« on: October 23, 2015, 08:33:10 am »

Hello,

As some mods are getting bigger, gain more interest and generate multiple topics, there is now possibility for having dedicated mod board.

This way there can be multiple topics for one mod without spamming general mod board.

Some important information first:
1) Mod with dedicated board isn't supported by OpenXcom team. From OpenXcom team perspective it's just like any other mod.
2) Dedicated board is moderated by mod author(s).

Obviously we can't give every mod it's own board, so there are couple of rules:
1) Mod must be released already and actively developed for some time.
2) Mod must be big enough. It just doesn't make sense to create boards for small mod (with couple of new weapons for example).
3) Mod must have estabilished fan base - interested in contribution (with ideas, art, etc.)

If you want dedicated mod board, please PM me or any other admin. Keep in mind that we can deny your request.
