Sow how many people do you have working on the TC?
Well me on my own really... but Prodigy helped me sort out my music
and also playtested.
Is There a release date?
Not as such, the first episode is released. Whether or not the next
two are done; depends on whether any level designers are interested.
I'd basically do the cons, midi and art that they wanted
How complete is the game?
33% I guess, assuming the next two episodes are released.
Whats going to be different about
this tc to others
Levels that don't suck ;)
Has any money been put into the
development of the TC?
If you count computer upgrades...
So how popular has the tc been
with people in general.
Well, most people complain it's too hard, which is understandable as I
made it to be a challenge for myself ;) Apart from that everyone I've
spoken to is pretty much agreed on the fact that they really like the
levels' design.
I take it this is a
TotalConversions not a PartialConversion?
Well, I really don't think many people differentiate. The only 'true'
TC's I can think of are Platoon and Ages in Time. Could you imagine
trying to start from scratch?
How many levels, weps, and con
files have be made/hacked?
8 levels and 9 midis is your lot...
What special features will be
implemented?
Well I've been thinking of making all threee episodes stand alone and
implementing different things in each, especially the second episode
as I want to put alien weapons in there to replace the earth ones
(it's on an alien planet y'see). Apart from that the fact is I know
how to hack the cons now so new enemy AI will be a big thing, and will
also be implemented for the first episode... making it even harder :)
Do you think it will be the TC of
the Y2000?
Ermmm... no basically... I cant hope to compete with SST TC. I'm one
man.
Is there anything you want to tell
people who await your TC?
Yeah, this is an open TC so anyone can help and if work starts on the
next two episodes the levels will be posted in progress and I will do
design tutorials etc... Basically the idea is have a diary of TC
creation, and maybe a good source to learn from.
is there a demo or a video for
people to see how good it is
First episode is released. Might be the only one, might not...
How well would it compare to "ages
of time" and the other great TC's?
I still play it... so it must be good :) I'm fickle you see...
