 we will soon have the island below ground home finished so that the islands will be looking more like the original islands and will also be getting the finished island edge farms detail meshes in.We are just about finished with getting a playable alpha and already the current build feel like the original NS. One thing I should mention is yes bridge are built in segments as original netstorm but they also erode bit by bit over time when damaged or not attached to units or other islands, in the one screenshot you can see bridge is starting to crack. | ||

The stone used for the water temple and geysers look porous so I'm not a huge fan but it's still okay. P.S. You should just have one thread for RisingStorm and update it. | ||

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.

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 .![[image loading]](http://risingstormhq.com/e107_files/public/1326314787_11_FT157_01.png) ![[image loading]](http://risingstormhq.com/e107_files/public/1326314789_11_FT157_02.png) ![[image loading]](http://risingstormhq.com/e107_files/public/1326314789_11_FT157_04.png) 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.. ![[image loading]](http://risingstormhq.com/e107_files/public/1326319977_3_FT3331_masterofgigs2_.jpg) 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.. | ||

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! | ||

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 | ||

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![[image loading]](http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/079/2/b/stand_your_ground_by_fenglong-d4tdtay.png) 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 ![[image loading]](http://www.uskaarj.com/RisingStorms/Outpost02.png) Enjoy Guys | ||

Today I am very pleased to announce we have some brand new content updates from the Rising Storm fan tribute project to showcase!These following pictures where first posted on the Colony of gamers forum this morning the COG site got first look and are now being posted here.. To start off we have a brand new rain player unit ready to showcase that is the ever handy Acid barricade! ![[image loading]](http://www.uskaarj.com/RisingStorms/COGPromoShots/01-ABarricade-Solo.png) ![[image loading]](http://www.uskaarj.com/RisingStorms/COGPromoShots/02-AcidBarricade-Dissolve.png) So as droplets of the rains of life can bring life to parched soils and land so can the elements of rain erode and dissolve! Unknown Rain Priest Feng has also finalized the ice cannon along with its ice shard projectile! ![[image loading]](http://www.uskaarj.com/RisingStorms/COGPromoShots/03-IceCannon-Solo.png) Feng our head texture artist and modeler has also done new island textures to allow for unit platforms for rain player to now have an icy snow cover and main islands owned by rain to also have snow these updates will be implemented soon! Lastly here is a group shot showing the new platforms and rain units all together! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Bap1f.jpg) Not that very visible but in background of the group shot is the rain temple! Feng has started re-skinning the temple and bring it up to quality to match all other rain units and also fix errors that were with the temple! Once the rain temple is re-textured it will look much better in-game and also be more optimized. | ||

all these new rain units will be showing up in the next set of public alpha's so users will soon have a reason to play rain faction and not just the sun and wind faction that has been the most implemented so far! also it should be noted that the man o war pool is already finished and the only other rain unit left todo is the ice tower that blocks incoming fire and we already have the basic model finished for that one.. | ||

Glad you like the new progress update and we should soon have a new playable build with more units and features implmented for the public to play test Our end goal is to have the game fully finished with a complete online lobby system like first Netstorm had with battle rings and ability for player to make account and compete in game events.. we have a number of game play modes planned for MP games, also once finished players will also have ability to add AI players to battle rings so players will also be able to play humans vs AI if there are not enough players in the lobby... | ||

Feng our head texture artist has been busy working out of sight finishing up the latest rain faction units and today we are pleased to present a showcase promo render he has submitted of the newly finished Rains Man O War and the Ice tower units! These newly finished units should make it in-game soon but I cant say which exact release they will be in but having these rain units finished has helped shrink the to do list of units for factions that need to be done! Superb work as always Feng! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ay11H.png) Jharger and Duphrey have also not been idle and have been "Very Busy" with the coding side of the project! Jharger has been working on the much requested "Tool Tip" feature for in-game for making it easier to tell what everything on the interface does and Duhprey has been busy working on dedicated server hosting for connection issues and some coding tweaks and improvements to reduce some of the many lines of code that he has done along with squashing some of the currently reported bugs from previous Alpha release and readying things for the upcoming release. Once the upcoming Alpha is ready a full separate news post that lists in more depth all changes that our two high priest coders Duhprey and Jharger have done and what brand new features have been implemented by both will be posted! | ||

How did I not see this thread before? Netstorm was my first RTS. In fact it was the first game I ever played online - on a 56k dialup modem and a Pentium 166. It's also the first game where I saw competitive players and attempted to imitate them (without much success). Nostalgia bomb. :3 | ||

The player base is pretty small now but the game is still excellent (probably better than you remember thanks to the community patches). | ||

Feng has also put together a short video to showcase the newly finished model! And besides the new model our two very very hard working coders Duhprey and Jharger have been hard at work in the depths of the RS code on implementing further of the lobby system features and new gui's a long with ensuring stability, work is also slowly getting done on new tools being added into the map editor to allow for smoother map creation along with campaign creation once that is ready to roll out! so stay posted and we hope to have a new playable release for the public to play test soon! | ||

Currently MP is getting very stable with the team and testers with few crashes still some but its way more stable also the coder is going to be working on spending a little time adding in more to the single player AI for single player games soon. here are three pics showing how the new buildings and units look ingame ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/sRmR33q.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/U64pQyj.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/DKnpU38.jpg) | ||

I loved Netstorm:Islands at War as a child and I think that along with Brood War it's the most hardcore RTS in existence. Really looking forward to seeing how this unfolds... | ||

I've been watching the progress over at NSHQ for some time. I have been working on a game of my own with a Netstorm style theme too, but it's more of an MMO. I was debating on making something entirely different to Netstorm apart from the island based world however: Would you be interested in sharing your models and textures? I ask because I understand there is no money to be made here but despite my reasonable programming skills I have no knowledge of models / texture art and to get the level of quality you guys have put in to your models would take me years I suspect. Also, What engine / languages are you using (just curious as my project is running in unity with C#)? I am happy to share anything of value from my project with you guys too should you want it or even help out if you think there's any way I can be of use. Like many have said before me, Netstorm is legendary and should be brought back to life with such projects, true face lift!!! So far: I've been focusing on the environment and dynamically generating truely 3D islands using "noise", I'm currently looking at rendering clouds that the players can walk through to add another level of depth to the game environment. I've been considering the idea of using the weather to depict areas of peace / combat with the weather being typically netstorm in combat areas and more white cloud and sunny / bright in non combat zones, which isn't true to the original in any way but might be cool to add a level of depth to an MMO game where the world is considerably bigger than just the current conflict. Keep in touch, Paul | ||
