Can you give me some links to when these come out and what they are. OR can you tell me about them thanks!
2.2 is in development ,moving to the orange box 3.0 will have aircraft and will be released shortly after the second coming. There are no real links about the information, other than "developers blog II" which is stickied under general discussion
"Shortly" I think is a misused word. You make it sound like a few months between updates. Some confirmed updates for 2.2 which are in testing currently: - Update to Orange Box engine (which includes new water and HDR) - Balancing of weapons - No 9 Mines anymore There are lots of other new things, but probably best leave it to a dev to give an official update.
heh "shortly after" yeah right... They've been working on aircraft for over 14 months now... 2.2 is being tested and worked on and the biggest feature will be Empires using the latest Source engine code... *edit* sigh.. too many tabs... need to refresh first before posting in future..
I thought the version after 2.2 would bring big changes to empires (research tree, vehicles, ...), but that the aircraft version would come even later. 2.2 will be a port to the OB engine, with a few extra fixes and balances only probably.
I'm guessing the development will go like this.. 2.2 (port to OB engine, bug fixes, balancing) Sometime this year 2.22 (the inevitable hotfix ) Shortly after sometime this year 3.0 (aircraft, 8x and 16x maps, ect) Coincident with the Rapture.
i can't help but feel people missed the joke about the Jesus' second coming, but i suppose the 2nd coming is just as biblical as getting 3.0 :p
No no.. You guys are so misleading. Empires started out at 4.0 and is now working on 2.002.. Aircraft was in an older version.
On a serious note its not like they have actually been working on it for 14 months.. Krenzo coded them along time ago and then after that they kinda just been on hold.. What it comes down to is.. No ones getting paid to make this game.
I believe, for the most part, the code is done for aircraft and scaling. The art, however, is not. EDIT: I haven't touched any of the scaling or aircraft stuff, so I don't know. I know that alot of the code, however, is here. Mootant is the one to talk to about it.
You empires junkies are going to be pleased with the upcoming changes, especially those of you who love big maps.
