Apparently if i understand well, Kickstarter opened to UK too , not only US, so hopefully it's only a matter of time they allow more countries.

There are other crowd founding that are not doing segregation regarding the country, but unfortunately they do not have the same kind of visitor traffic Kickstarter have, meaning then much less chance to obtain the required founds you need for your project.

Indiegogo while unfortunately not having anywhere near Kickstarter visitor popularity does not seem bad at all as an alternative as it does not limit to a country or two, and unlike Kickstarter you're not forced in an "all or nothing" type of founding (oh the pain of those kickstarters that nearly reached their target but in the end got nothing due to the time limit hitting before)

Ya, I've done a lot of research and found that while IndieGoGo's pretty much the second best option out there, it's generally not worth it. It took KS years to add just the UK... One can only hope they speed up their expansion.

[CognitiveDissonance]

Bump for progress!

[Kyzrati]

As in a request for a progress update?

Just recently back from a long vacation. And now... life is getting in the way. Progress is likely to be very slow for the foreseeable future

[Kyzrati]

Small release including some new on-map information, and a new mod, the mech warfare-based Union (a total conversion).

Just posting to say I love your game and I love the direction you're going with, keep up the good work.

Seeing as this thread has been dead for a month, I figure I'll post this here as an excuse to bump it.

Rectification v0.6 has just been released. It's a total conversion mod that aims to completely redesign XCom; you can read more about it on the thread. Right now, I need playtesters more than anything else; if you're even slightly interested, please play it and tell me what you think!

[Kyzrati]

"Dead" is such a harsh word. I'd prefer "quiet" ;p That usually happens during development lulls, though I suspect this one will be especially long...

To everyone: Crazy Cow wants you to check out his ambitious X-COM mod, but you may not want to sign up on another forum to download the attachment so I've mirrored the latest version here for public downloading. Note that as this mod is still in development it's not provided as a stand-alone version, so you'll need to unzip it in an existing X@COM R9.4 download, which you can get from the site if you don't have it already. (The new mod will eventually show up on the blog for general downloading as a stand-alone game, but that will wait until playtesting is complete.)

Just posting to say I love your game and I love the direction you're going with, keep up the good work.

Thanks, I'd really love to "keep up the good work" but development on the main game will be on hiatus for a while. See most recent post. For now the occasional mod will hopefully whet everyone's appetite for tactical alien-annihilating action.

[Crazy Cow]

Ah, completely forgot that you needed to be signed in for attachments. Thanks for that, Kyzrati ;p

[Kyzrati]

No problem, I see you've uploaded a new version already, I changed the file on the FTP, too.

To everyone: By the way, this thing has psionic powers and all sorts of cool things (so you are now obligated to try it ;p).

[Kyzrati]

Roguelike of the Year poll is up.
X@COM's on the list.
Please vote.

As usual you can vote for more than one game, so support all your favorite roguelikes! Dwarf Fortress is... not on the list this year :/

Read about X@COM 2013 in a new post here.

Yeah, no release this year, heh. Think that's what kept me from throwing a vote at Cogmind and a few other things, as well. X@COM got a vote, along with the customary dozen and some change others. Already looking like T4's going to take it (again), but Cataclysm and ADOM's both giving a good show of things... not bad, really, especially for the relative newcomer.

[Kyzrati]

Yep, no Cogmind release until next year, but it should be well into the release schedule and have a good following come December 2014! Thanks for the vote

Really surprised by the explosion for Cataclysm. I voted for them, too--great job they're doing.

Aside from destructible environments, what will this have over open xcom? http://openxcom.org/

[sambojin]

Particle based ASCII engine, heaps of modability, better (customizable) sound assets, user made map tiles/weapons/etc, swings, slides and possibly merry-go rounds. Plus, not having destructable terrain is a huge negative for xcom style games, but x@com has it in boatloads.

Anything that makes it through Cogmind's development really, plus all the unrealisticly time-consuming things we can manage to convince Kyzrati to spend his time coding into it.

My vote goes for an optional stim-pack style system so we can make a Syndicate style roguelike. You know, after x@com is done (or possibly before).
