"Spring" imminent?

[Cutlass81]

Why does it need to be a new game at all? why can't it just be a TAS which Springs ur playing into 3d. Its not like u are coming out with a brand new game like godevac.

[Nitramtj]

I can't speak for anyone but spring is just starting off to play ta units, it will later have more units that have been made by the team and since they will be a different format, that might mean that they will have different abbilities. I think I am right maybe not, also there are probaly going to be different things to make it a new game. =/ hope I'm right

globalteration

(for global alter(ation)... spoken, it sounds a bit like TA (easyer to remember) and it describes the change, such a war could do to the world. (changing the world's "main" nation and so...)
... and i think it sounds nice... :D

greetz from swizerland, aegnor

sorry 'bout my real bad english :)

[bobblehat]

Cutlass, if u took ur time into reading the website and forums you should notice that they ARE trying to make a new RTS.

TA Spring is a project aiming to create a new RTS.

The current goal is to make it run content from the game Total Annihilation, and then move forward from there.

So its meant to be a full new non TA related game but for now it runs TA's content.

[ephillips]

If it wasnt TA related they probably wouldnt have called it TA spring, and made it run TA content.

I'm confused. If it is going to be a new RTS, why is this called the temporary TA Spring site?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Because a new site is in the works, and the engine currently runs the TA unit format, essentially making it TA-compatible, thus the TA Spring.

...never you pagans, only over my stinking corpse!

the only god is TA, there is no god beside!

TA: SPRING in glory!

Spring : Total Wars
Spring : Eternal Conflicts

There will be no Single player. No campaigns. No plot. If SY is making a new RTS later, then they will probably rename it then. So we are naming the engine.

How about "House", and since it uses OpenGL, we can call it OpenHouse. Free food for everyone!! ok, more seriously, how about "World Builder" maybe just call the engine 'moose'. "The SY has anounced a new RTS based on the moose game engine......" we need something to go there. maybe scary, freeky, dr. strangelove? I don't think naming it something tough is terribly important. Phantagram had a game engine named 'blue', so you could name it anything.

TerraSpank (because you are spanking the RTS genre)

[Gabba]

"Moose" and "TerraSpank".

Those are hilarious names! I like them.

It sounds just like the original Total Annihilation, is diferent and sounds good!

[Guest]

Name is important to attract potential players.

Retribution
Final Retribution
Rising Nemesis
Dragon Awaken
Steel Dragons


I find Spring not "hard core" enough and doesn't speak in your face kick your butt type of coolness and intensity, it's a great engine name but for the game I would go for something else.

Engine names:
Hemi
V12

sorry, can't think of any good engine names.

TA= Thunder Ascencion: Spring Wars

How's about:

Spring: fresh ideas for a stale genre.

[deevus]

Second Conflict

Machine Control

Final Command

[Born Acorn]

Total Elimination

[Guest]

your right ta is stale

[xover88]

Total Re-Annihilation

TA3 3 for REAL 3D

Metal Scraps : KMMA Kiss my metal ass -_-;

Ultimate Annihilation

Metal God

I think these 5 titles would fit best for "Spring"

[Molloy]

Those names are all awful. You should just call it the Spring engine.

I'd like to boot the thing up and it be like Steam (except without a content delivery system of course). Just a menu with all the mods you can play:

-Total Annihilation Classic
-Total Annihilation 2
-XTA
-Uberhack
-Star Wars TA

And so forth. It's best to sidestep the whole copyright issue associated with the Total Annihilation name.
