EDIT: Nevermind. Misread.

hey guys, bit of a status update - nothing to report, unfortunately. My art/helper guy dropped out of the project due to legality concerns (which is fair enough IMO) since last post so it's kinda stalled a little. We spent a while considering the best way to go about it and release the game - as a generic standalone with a mysterious mod, as a specific game, etc. Eventually the conversation came round to legality and it just sort of fell apart.

So the marine editor is my current latest version still, and will probably continue to be for a short while until I find someone(s) else to work with on the project and/or my other workload decreases. Currently struggling to find time to work on it between my other gamedev commitments and other programming contracts.

I still intend to work on this and have some pretty nifty ideas for getting it going, it's just slow going and I figured you guys deserved an update. I tried hanging out in the IRC for a while to hopefully chat to some players and get motivated that way, but the channels were basically dead. If anyone's interested in being a sounding board/tester/helper feel free to PM me. I am a bit of a 40k casual so it'd help to have someone to chat to about the game that knows more lore than I do.

That is likely the best way for you to avoid legality issues.  Just make the best intergalactic space infantry game.  Most "cool" ideas could be modified to fit the 40k universe.

That was our original intent actually. The marine editor I released is highly modular and was originally named "Superhuman Space Soldiers" as a tongue-in-cheek generic title with the intention of having it be a purely mod-dependent base game that people could plug their favourite sci-fi or whatever into. With a rekin and a good modder it could easily be pirate islands in the ocean with sea ships rather than stars in a galaxy, etc. But ultimately that involves a hell of a lot more work than just releasing a Chapter Master game. Provided it's distributed for free we didn't really anticipate very many legal issues, but that doesi nvolve putting in a lot of time and work for free which was unappealing at the time.

Regardless, I'm personally not as concerned about legal issues, the minute I receive a C&D or similar I'll just stop, that's kind of fine. The main issue at this point is lack of time/drive, which can certainly be overcome in time, but is exacerbated by the fact i'm now working alone on the project.

Yeah, true. Well, I'm rooting for you, if it's any motivation.
And J-Thy, 'course.

Marine editor download link doesn't work anymore. I already have it, but others are looking for it in vain. Just a heads up.

Journier still alive?

[Gorim]

We all hope so :/  Btw, has anybody here preordered Battlefleet Gothic: Armada? The Beta starts in a few hours

[nenjin]

It's too dank for me to dive into right now. It's the kind of game I need to clear my gaming schedule to get into.

I can't. My country current economic policies guarantee I can't effectively acquire anything in dirty capitalistic imperial dollars.... fucking communists idiots, I loath them with all my fibbers, and my hate for this government burns white hot, with the sheer intensity of a billion Astronomicans.

So no, despite being a grown up with a decent job, I would not be in the beta testing. Perhaps one day I might be able to buy after all this crap ends.

I sense you're a fellow countrymen who is a WH40K fan, a rare find on the internet.

Tell me does the phrases, "There is no such thing as plata, only degrees of patria" and "Patria is Chavez's greatest gift to humanity", have any meaning to you?

The only meaning those phrases have in my house hold are either a punchline for a joke or the speaker pleading for an actual punch in the face.

You are the second countrymen I find over the inernet that is fan of warhammer.
