P.U.R.E. 0.55

[Guessmyname]

Um, Argh? You might want to change the title:

Purify, Expand, Reclaim, Exterminate abbreviates to PERE, not PURE

pure sounds better then pere imo so -1

Er...

I wasn't suggesting the name be changed, it's just that (by accident, probably - I certainly hope it wasn't a Freudian slip, because that would be very disturbing.) the original load screen read thusly:

P.U.R.E.
Purify, Expand, Reclaim, Exterminate

Which do not match up as acronyms.

And isn't all that explained in the first few posts of the thread?

[Argh]

It was a screw-up due to being in a giant hurry, and it got fixed 9 months ago, lol...

mmm i remember that little model of mine, glad to see the remake getting used again. Looks awesome!

You made the original high-poly concept model that that design was originally based on? I thought that was just some random thing somebody found on the Internet, and I decided to copy really fast...

At any rate, presently it's just in my "working things" pile- a circus-like collection of experiments which I'll never release, because it's not a game in any meaningful sense. Don't expect to see it in a game any time soon, if ever.

why not just purify and expand? PurE

[Argh]

Because the words "reclaim" and "unify" have specific meanings in the backstory.

For those of you not in the Betas, everything, from the music to the documentation to the art, references that backstory (with nods to games like Fallout and StarCraft, Paranoia and Silent Dark... references to movies such as Aliens and books such as Hyperion)... so no, I have no plans to change it, at this late date.

While I respect everybody's right to have opinions, I am just trusting my own judgment on this stuff.

Will pure be spammy?

If you're asking whether it's like NanoBlobs, the answer is no, it's not like NanoBlobs. Anything else gets into arbitrary definitions of what "spammy" means, frankly. Are units free? No. Can you make a lot of them? Absolutely. Will you make a lot of them? Depends on the map and the players.

Well for comparison,will it be more spammy than ba?Id liek ot see hueg battles with these pretty units...

Argh, the movie sold the mod to me.

Nice choice of music.

I think i've got about 4 new spring players from just passing your video around to a few friends.

This mod looks far classier than BA or Ca, and its not even a OTA mod :)

[Argh]

Well, er... thanks. Wouldn't judge it by 0.55, though, it's not really that game any more.

[clericvash]

Erm what video?

[TheBigPK]

cler, see op.

[Argh]

Yeah. Looks a little... outdated. Ah well. New unit coming up, btw...

[Argh]

Why are you spamming me with Mr. Jobs?

[panzeriv2]

Where are the guns?

[Guessmyname]

Why are you spamming me with Mr. Jobs?

He's referencing the Stealth Boat from Tomorrow Never Dies.

Also: that's not the unit I thought you were going to be unveiling...

Oh, and send me info for the ships if you want me to model any

[Warlord Zsinj]

Yah, sorry if it was a bit obscure, I meant what GMN said. The point being that it's pretty cool

[Argh]

that's not the unit I thought you were going to be unveiling...

Never fear. That unit is being painted today, it just got re-purposed (again).

These scratches look pretty uh.. out of place. I'd overlay actual images of metal for a more natural look.

[Argh]

It's rubber. That's a hovercraft's skirt.

[rattle]

No reason not to use a metal overlay, they work fine with most materials.
