Update from the Clear Skies creator.

Seriously, you all still here? :wink:

You know, every time I get swamped by how much of my life this series has taken up, I just have to read a page or two in this monster thread and suddenly it’s all worth it.

I’m working flat out on CS3 - my job is now shift work so I’m doing what I can during downtime at work, and doing 7 to 12 hour days on CS3 during my off-shift time. I’m balancing that with spending quality time with my lovely new girlfriend, although sometimes I do rope her into assisting with the motion capture process - I think she finds my prancing about in front of cameras quite amusing :cool:

I wish it could go even faster but I’m wholly limited by the sheer size of the episode 3 project. It’s a monster. I also wish I could share with you the results so far because I hate making you wait, but you’re going to have to wait for the official trailer The list of improvements is myriad, though - Motion capture is only one of the new things - I’ve got a director of photography who’s taught me proper lighting techniques, more sets/locations, something special on the external shots front, two professional hollywood actors involved thanks to an amazing coincidence, better sound, oh and it’s all in high def at last. Also, I think the script is pretty damn good, but most of the voice acting is still fairly dodgy :wink:

I’ve damn near half an hour of produced footage now. I’m working on some action scenes so that I can knock up that trailer you all deserve. I know it’s been about 18 months since CS2 came out but bear with me just a bit longer, my MWD is on :smiley:

-JR

Also, the next mass test is Thursday.

Edit: Plus, I’m back in EVE after LotRO.

Character Creation

We figured that with the attention our character creation system has been getting lately, that it was time to write a devblog about it. There´s lots to cover, so let´s get to it!

EVE Online Incursion 1.1.0 will be released on Tuesday, January 18. This latest release includes updates to the EVE Contracts system, the much anticipated Sansha Incursions and the new Character Creator which will allow players to completely revamp their characters. Full patch notes of Incursion 1.1 will be published during this downtime. The deployment process will begin at 06:00 UTC and is expected to be completed by 13:00 UTC. A deployment thread is available here for comments and feedback.

Set a long skill queue!!

#370

Well, I was thinking about giving the game another go, but I suppose at this point, I might as well wait until after that.

#371

I think we’ll only be able to update our avatars for 30 days after 1.1.0 is released. So there is time, but it’s a window.

#372

So I reactivated my account today, and first thing I find out when I log in is that someone declared war on the alliance I’m in. Right now, my only PVP experience is getting blown up by a gatecamp when I went into low-sec to try finishing a site escalation chain.

#373

Buy Rifters. Lots of Rifters.

#374

Well, I’ve got GWC Redshirt (Kestrel) from the GWC Frig Night that I don’t think ever happened.

EDIT: Oh, and my 2.2 mil skillpoints from learning going away got me Cybernetics 5, Leadership 5, and most of the way to Caldari Cruiser 5 and Gunnery 5.

EDIT 2: I wish I’d thought to put +2 or +3 implants into my jump clone. Can’t really shop around at the moment.

#375

You still have time before the actual war or no?

Do you have a character you can shop with outside the alliance?

#376

The war could have been declared days/weeks ago. There’s no buffer for reactivation or joining a new corp.

#377

The war’s been going on for a bit over a week based on the notification.

Now that I think of it, I have the original character I made during my free demo. Toward the end, I created the character I have now to use as my main character, but I could transfer back enough money to buy a ship and a set of +3s. Thanks for the idea.

#378

I was asking whether Starsaber had time before fighting could actually start.

No problem. If possible, use a fast ship in case the war targets figure out you’re on an alt and decide concordoken is worthwhile to blow up your stuff.

Good luck.

#379

All that account had was a Gallente noob ship and .33 isk. :stuck_out_tongue: I contracted over enough isk to cover the implants I couldn’t get for a reasonable price locally and got it over without any problem.

And based on their corp page, I’m guessing the corp is in an Eastern European timezone. I didn’t go through their base system, but I didn’t see any of them.

#380

Besides being relatively cheap, how is that going to help?

I always get blown up in those.
