NetStorm is an RTS that was released in '97 around the same time as SC. The campaign is pretty lame and it's based around the multiplayer (hence the name). This is a remake project of the game.

I made a pretty big blog post about NetStorm if you want to check it out.

That's very cool. You still have a lot of work to do but I am happy a NS remake actually released. I also approve of having bulfs the default collector: best unit in the game.

Feng our texture artist has finished up the inside of the gig base and got it fully animated and has sent in the textured and animated mesh, next alpha release will have working and finished animated whirligig base in-game.. Feng Has also got animations finished on Sun cannons for deployment and change of directions animations so Sun cannons will now have proper animations in game.

Now with no more delay here are some pictures of the finished and animated whirligig base, Feng added a little more details to the inside texture and added a few oil patches to make it look less dull

Also I have been busy working on concept for the single player achievement medals that players can win in single and multi-player games and have just about finished up the concept for the Mastery Of Whirligigs achievement medal, I have done up a quick render of the almost finished medal below..

The feedback so far from the release of first alpha of Rising Storm has been really good and we are busy fixing the current list of know bugs and getting things ready for the release of Alpha 2 in coming weeks... the next release will have the fully animated Whirligig bases and Sun cannons in-game a long with a number of the bug fixes and further game player implementation..

That's great! Netstorm is an awesome game.

It will be fully 3D, right? But will the POV fixed (isometric view) or we will be able to rotate, pan and zoom freely?
Keep up the good work!

Well we are very pleased to announce that Alpha 2 of Rising Storm is now ready for download and testing by the public.. I have put together a list of current fixes in this build! we fixed a number of issues people have with Alpha 1 so Alpha 2 should be more stable...

http://tosos.com/RisingStorm

Alpha 2 Change List

Priest Selection fixed: Player can now click and select a priest when he
is standing next a building and it will select priest and not building.

Mouse Edge scrolling: Moving mouse cursor to edge of screen will now
scroll the view in that direction.

Made it possible to select a priest right next to a building

Ownership on a geyser only happens once

No more mysterious blue thing on the AI's land

Smartened up some of the resource gathering behavior (especially regarding
empties)

Bridges and other draggable items don't disappear when you go past the
edge of the map (still you can't place them of course)

Static units fixed won't be permanently grey when placed off bridges

Fixed some of the firing issues. Thunder cannon should be useful

Sun Disc Throwers should be able to hit passing gigs.

The whirli dies properly and the gigbase should die too

Fixed some more targeting

Fixed the top menu (may get stuck after a while... need to test further)

HARDWARE Cursors:

Only can build one altar at a time now

Darkened those icons for temple and altar once built

Meltdown/Salvage: mostly works. "The aftermath doesn't work yet"

Fixed the outpost cost

Fixed the starting resources in a geyser

Added the mouse cursor to the level editor

Tweaked the top menu

Updated the resolution so it stays either always full-screen or always
windowed (I don't recommend full-screen anytime soon... it can be hard to
get out of it)

Added some basic logging features.

Fixed WindSkate mesh so that sail is now correctly placed on mast, also
adjusted mesh so it now uses one texture instead of two separate textures
and combined the skate and the sail mesh into one object to reduce draw
calls.

Whirligig Base Deploy Animation: building now plays the build deploy
animation for gigs

Big update today guys

Feng_Long has posted the two new renders showing off the new texture work done on the outpost building and sun stone tower

warning images may cause drooling :D

If you click on image it will take you to Feng_Longs Dev account where a much larger version for wall papers can be downloaded

And here is a promo render showing some of the detailing work on the outpost! still some tweaks to be done on the roof still but pretty much the outpost now looks way better then before when it had a temp texture slapped on it
