wow... wow, just wow, i just heard the soundtrack of the Cydonia's Fall website (I always search with volume off)

I like the sound track, it is nice, dark, eerie, scary, it lures you... it has a lot of the XCOM feel, it gave me the chills!!! AWESOME :) 


EDIT

Nevermind, after looking at that page source i found a link to the music is from a youtube video :( still it is an awesome soundtrack in case anyone wants to see the video

My whole team? I'm an occasional contributor, it's more like I'm part of their team.

Back on topic, is this actually under development? or is it just an idea atm?

This is a fantastic idea, just think you could bring into the game , Energy shields, Droid Defences ( float around craft), fighter crafts launching form a Mothership, Base Defences that are actually used in game ( and controllable) alien Defences when attacking there bunkers, suicide runs for damaged craft, atmospheric conditions, Space battle , water battle, Mars, attack crafts that have landed EtC

 I am just bummed out that i am stuck studying now as its less time for Mods... :-[

I think this would be the best time to start introducing HD graphics as then everything can stay on a 1x1 location but you could be more zoomed in to see more detail of the craft.

this won't be any xcom1 clone. it would be better called xcom:interceptor.

Although i own interceptor , i have never played it but i still think its real time in interceptor not turnbased?  Also you could then go so far as customisable ships like apoc had, with different modules that can be mixed  and matched to suit your enemy , all these options ( although a LONG LONG TIME idea) would add more STRATEGY to the Geoscape environment.  Just my 2 cents :P

Who wants just a clone? You can always play the original for that  ;D Besides, if it's activated by an option, then it's up to the player

You can find the actual UFO:CF soundtrack here, it's a pretty good remix of the original.

You realize it's that line of thinking that got us dozens of meh remakes that the fanbase still prefers playing the original over. :P

OK so even though i am a Noob at blender i thought i would have a go since the kids are asleep  ( day time nap) here is a screen shot of a Medium scout since i could not find a model done anywhere.

nice... I probably don't have to tell you that that's way too much detail for the creation of sprites :)

the wall details look like something that's probably better done by bump mapping, btw. But I guess you know that too, and just don't know much more about how to do that than I do (which is next to nothing :D ).

Its only halfway done , as for the detail , yes there is to much (obviously) but i also want ot make some ART work , farm scenes , mountain range etc   so a more detailed model is needed for that.  I know Tentaculas showed me once taking photos from blender and how to lower the quality to match sprite levels  ( so this would be similar setup to how you got your fighter picture) so i am hopping this wont be a issue , 2 birds one stone ;)
