TNM is good.

[Nemo]

Hey OTP - apologies for repeating what is by now a familiar theme here, but that's what you get for producing such excellence.

Grand slam. I just finished my first play through. You guys have done a brilliant job. A fully voiced game of this scale is incredible, the music is top notch, and the writing/design is superb.

Especial compliments on the level of polish you've managed; I'm the lead designer for an open source RTS game, and the #1 biggest challenge we've faced (in our 'mere' 3 years of development) has been achieving the attention to detail and level of gloss that makes for a smooth and (in the case of TNM) highly enjoyable experience. This work stands out in that not once did I think "well, it is a hobbyist game, after all" - it was pro quality, minus the same-y and risk-adverse writing and design that plagues so many pro games.

Thank you for a game that is an inspiration and a success on many levels.

I very much plan on buying OTP's first commercial outing, and I eagerly await its release.

On behalf of OTP: you are very welcome

Good luck with your RTS! Do you have a link?

[Trestkon]

Thanks Nemo! It's always an ego boost to hear such nice things from someone who's also a developer

And I'll second Jonas in asking for a link to your RTS!

[Kee715]

Welcome to the forums! I see Jonas and Treadnought have already greeted you, I am Templar Kee715 and you can go ahead and ignore me.

And I too am interested in this RTS, if it plays like classic C&C or Empire Earth I am even more interested.

Well, hopefully you all won't be put off by our project; we're (as of now) still a purely multiplayer game, and we reside in a genre perhaps even more reviled than forum fan fiction - the WWII RTS. The basic goal is to make a fun/deep RTS suitable for highly competitive play in the general vein of Total Annihilation using a WWII setting.

Also, I've just started listening to the developer commentaries on moddb - very cool, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to do that.

[Mr_Cyberpunk]

looks pretty good, I'm impressed.

At least its not another generic Stargate Mod of CnC3 or generic Stargate Mod for Empire at War.. or Another generic StarGate mod for Source.. Or.. well you know what I mean lol

Also Zombies..

[Kee715]

Oh, I saw that game at Mod DB. I was uninterested because it is another WWII game. I do not mean to be offensive, but after seeing WWII game #9001 I just lost interest.

And what is Total Annihilation? I have never known more than the title before.

And what is Total Annihilation? I have never known more than the title before.

Total Annihilation is considered by many to be one of the best RTS games ever made. It has just as much popularity as StarCraft.

Like C&C?

Fixed**

I hate StarCrap. C&C is much better IMO.

Looks pretty good for an indie game. I like your grass. Sorry if that's a weird thing to single out

[Jaedar]

StarCraft is the national sport of a country... C&C is published by EA, and therefore will never get the support it needs to be big.

[Kee715]

I should correct myself here, Classic C&C is much better, I hate the new crap EA pushes out.

Awesome! I downloaded it last night and will be trying it out asap. I've been in need of a good, new RTS for a while, now. The big question is: how badly will I get destroyed when I attempt to play? :p
