Design / Insertion of troops and battslescape exploration

Hi,

Exploration is what made UFO Defense Unique in every single tactical battle.
The starting location of the troops should be inside the troop transport .
Not only it would give a more realistic feeling deploying your units strategically, it would make the use of smoke grenades a viable option.
Plus the random factor of the maps can have greater impact on scouting for geographical information.

Design / Fog of War

« on: April 05, 2010, 06:39:14 am »

Hi,

I was curious if the battlescape could be made more interesting designing a fog of war
This would greatly enhance the creepy feeling the original game was ment to create.

Sounds and Music / Dj Variablo @ Your Service

« on: April 04, 2010, 11:21:27 pm »

Hello All,

I been tracking the progress of this production quite some time and i actually was hoping things would fall into place and here we are
Grats to all of you who amzed me when i opened up the first game session.
I was truly inspired by the original music some time back and i always wanted to make something simulair but original to the feeling of the PLaystation version music of John Broomhall.

If you could please take a look, i made a small gameplay movie and implemented my remixed composition (made in Reason 4.1)
Hoping i can be of service i want to get in touch with more experts on music and ambient FX to make the best result in the end.

My first toughts on the musical theme would sure be variable music but they should be held in a same context so the game does not loose its face and intention.
The creepy alien alike sound track John Broomhall made , was nearly perfect because i think nothing is perfect unles everyone likes it

So i want to try and life up to make a perfect soundtrack inspired by its origins and alien alike space music Broomhall presented a long time ago.

Check out the link, i made a small Demo which took me about 45 minuts to make minus the time compressing and uploading the file ofcourse.
