Looking to commission an artist for a Western...

[Cyrion]

Now this is good news! Go on, go on!!

[Harry Tuttle]

Icons completely done.

Terrain done.

Working on on the Events.txt as we speak.

5 more units to go. I'm thinking of just putting in a few "nature" units like thunderstorms and river logs. Might be neat.

I'll keep you posted...

I detect another Tuttle masterwork is forming!

Forge ever on, old buddy!

[Arthedain]

Yeah this scenario will certainly be something extraordinary..

[Sarsstock]

Say Harry, I remember once you mentioned that you wanted to make a sequel to Atomic Eagle. Is that still on the drawing board?

I can't wait for this one either. Let me know if you need a title screen or anything else.

Yes it is. I learn quick, so expect the sequel to be better than the original. Much Better. And the invitation is open for anyone who wants to co-author.

Why yes, yes I do! I'll send you the title in a few days. Thank you so much.


I'm aiming for mid to late August for the playtest of the Western Scenario. I should have the text files done by then as well as the cities. The sound files will hopefully be halfway there as well as some final unit designs.

Now I will be busy for a good part of next month, but I should find some downtime at the new house. I'll keep everyone posted.

Good, I'm glad I'll be able to contribute to another fine project of yours. As for the sequel to Atomic Eagle, I was curious because I always wondered if we would go further into the story behind those "zombie" soliders guarding the Tibetan monestary.

I mean, I realize they could be a simple footnote in a much larger story you have planned, but to be honest I think the idea of German special forces fighting it out with zombies is pretty damn interesting.

Well here's the first draft of the title screen. I tried to incorperate the idea's you suggested, such as the shinny gold text and the photographs in the back.

Now I personally really like the gold text, its the way I the photographs are thrown around that I'm not sure of.

Let me know what other suggestions you have Harry, don't hesitate to brutal if need be.

[curtsibling]

Awesome!

[Harry Tuttle]

Sarsstock, I think the title screen looks great! I like lettering and the pictures. If there were to be anything added I would say maybe more pictures or a pickax or something, but the way it looks right now is awesome. Thank you very much.

[Sarsstock]

Well I'm glad you like it. A great scenario deserves a great title screen afterall. But something's missing, an element that just makes the player sit back and say.... man.... this is going to be one kick ass scenario.

Harry - You need a 'Fire and Brimstone' preacher man in there too!

A sort of gun-toting man of the cloth that can act as a diplo with defence abilities.

That's assuming you are allowing diplo units -
Otherwise he could just be a unit with anti-ZOC powers.

How about a snake-oil-salesman or robber baron?

Trade units maybe?

I think these towns in your scenario are going to bustle with cool units and characters!

Sweet!

[curtsibling]

Imagine this guy turning up at the saloon!

[Arthedain]

Wooooh!
Nice pic Curt.

[Harry Tuttle]

Woooh! I think the townsfolk would need a cannon to take care of that guy!

Well sorry this thread hasn't been updated for two weeks but I've been busy moving in and fixing up my new house. My DSL should be up in about a week at which point I will post the playtest version of the scenario.

See you guys then!
