22nd May 2003 @ 15:05 GMT -- Imperial Patch & Website Update

Made a few changes to the site. I've put the X-wing vs Tie Fighter stuff on one page and created an X-wing Alliance page in preparation for campaigns that I will make in the future. I've also changed the structure of the folders, but that benefits me not you. One thing that will benefit you is that I've made the modified ship data for XvT a seperate download so the campaign packs should be pretty small now.

On to the Imperial patch. I've done all the briefings now for the missions, just doing a final run through to iron out all the remaining bugs and also a bit of balancing to do for several of the missions. Should be done in around two weeks or so hopefully as I'm busy with other stuff at the moment.

Slowly getting the Imperial patch done so it may take a few more weeks or longer to complete.

My copy of X-wing Alliance arrived yesterday and I've had a good play of it, seems wierd after playing XvT for donkeys years but its growing on me :)

I'll start editing missions for it once I've made the sequel to Backwater Threats in XvT format. I was going to convert the current campaign's to XWA format but it looks like it could be difficult to do due to no player respawns in XWA missions and the various other changes to the game engine etc. I have some ideas for stuff in XWA already but I won't be doing anything regarding XWA for a while yet.




20th April 2003 @ 12:35 GMT -- Rebel Campaign Released! (Take 2)

Hmm, well the server decided to mess up halfway through updating the site, anyway everything seems okay now. The zip file was most probably corrupt as well, so I recommend you download it again, it should work properly now.




20th April 2003 @ 03:40 GMT -- Rebel Campaign Released!

The Rebel Campaign is now fully completed and is available for download. It kept cutting me off for some unknown reason, so I recommend you use download resuming software such as GetRight when downloading.

As you've probably already noticed I've given the website a major overhaul. I've made a title banner and switched to tables for the page layouts, which makes it easier for me to manage. I'll be changing some more stuff probably in the future.

No more campaigns are in the works yet but I am working on a patch for the Imperial Campaign, which will add the animated briefings and also correct a few errors. I'm also rebalancing mission 14, this was always very tough to do but since replaying it it seems impossible, so I've made it slightly more easy while still keeping it as challenging as the original version. Expect it out in a month or two.




19th April 2003 @ 15:05 GMT -- Rebel Campaign Progress

I'm just going through the final testing of the missions and have corrected quiet a few errors and bugs that I missed during the development stage. I've already tested most of the missions during the week so it should be ready for release by tommorrow hoping nothing major goes wrong.




6th April 2003 @ 14:05 GMT -- Rebel Campaign Release Date

I'm going to be dangerous ;) and set a release date for the campaign. The campaign should be about 16 missions in total length and I aim to release it on the 20th of April. This will be a provisional date though so it may be delayed but I'll do my best to make sure it isn't.

After the release I will add briefings to the Imperial Campaign, plus make a few corrections I've noticed since its release.




21st March 2003 @ 00:30 GMT -- Rebel Campaign Update

Just a quick update. Still working on the Rebel Campaign which shall probably be more than 12 missions, probably more near 20 missions. With a bit of luck it should be out in a few weeks.




23rd February 2003 @ 01:35 GMT -- Rebel Campaign ETA April(ish)

I've had a slight lack of interest over the last few weeks due to the problems I've had doing the storyline and other things, anyway I've now sorted it out and started producing the campaign missions again. Should take about a month or two until its done. Sorry for the delays.




15th January 2003 @ 15:20 GMT -- General Update

Again not much done lately due to other stuff though I am guessing that the Rebel Campaign will be around the 12 missions mark from what I have done so far in relation to the storyline.

Further more, I'm also planning to design a new website to replace this one but it will probably be several months or so before I get round to doing it as it isn't high on my list of priorities.
