Don't worry sigma, the candy has now become a nice juicy steak. More on that after the map has been reviewed.

Well, since they're going to be on the surface, I would think that an underground facility would provide the most protection against the elements...unless the composition of the moon is not strong enough to support such structures. A polar base would probably be better so the facility could utilize ...

Well that took a turn o.o lol

And all I could think of was

I'm curious to know if this happened. I'm a huge fan of Freespace and I would love to pilot a Pyro-GX

New map under way. I'm not gonna give anymore details since its for PG, but be prepared for some good game flow XD keep an eye out for it!

Ok sounds good. I'm keeping an eye on both forums either way. I'm actually writing a quick tut describing my experiences and lessons learned from my maps. I'll let you know when that's done.

I'm gonna make a tutorial to help out evolving basic workflow using my experience from my maps. Keep an eye out for it XD

Hahaha well don't blow an aneurysm by then ok? We need people who are alive too! Lol

No you won't. I promise! You have me and Hawk to ask for help! I never tried the D3 editor, but I was much younger and less determined to map. To be honest, KISMET seems a lot harder than it is, but then again, I only used KISMET to make doors move an such. On top of that, there are a lot more resou...

Sol Contingency still needs more mappers! Seriously, try your hand and try the UDK out. I would say that your first couple of maps will be rough, but after awhile and with enough support, you can make it too! I only started mapping in UDK around March and I made it in just yesterday. I might have ma...

I'm just gonna drop out of this conversation. I don't want to say anything else on the matter.

At first, I wasn't going to let it bother me and rise above, but I realized that I'm actually going to be on the developing team. I'm gonna put my time and stiff backs and headaches and sore eyes working on this game. I plan on giving it my all, and saying you want me to do all that for free is a di...

I believe somewhere it was stated that it will not be a Steam exclusive. Don't quote me on that. I understand that a lot of people don't like steam. This is what I found on the forum: The game will use Steam to advertise and find servers. You will require a Steam account and have the service running...

Thanks Krom!

Naturally, but they won't know that that's what's on your mind unless you tell them! n.n

I believe that Max stated somewhere that it is going to have the same feel as D1/2. Idk about customizable speeds, but that's definitely something you can ask about in the Developer forum on the Sol Contingency forums XD

Will do! I'm currently starting up a tougher project which will require even more thinking outside of the box. Right now, I'm mostly using stock Static meshes and materials and manipulating them the best I can to get the effect I want. Triaxiality was made WITHOUT tailored meshes or materials. I thi...

So, my map, Triaxiality was good enough to warrant a video fly-through on Sol Contingency's Youtube channel. I did this with mostly stock meshes and materials. Trust me, if I can do it, you guys can. Enjoy the video here! Sol Contingency is NOT going to die!

Unfortunately it's not made in UE4 yet. Just UDK. I don't have UE4 yet, but when I do, I'll tear it up there too. The release date for PG is the same as always: it'll be ready when it's ready. Should be soon from what I hear though. The C&D took its toll, explaining the delay.

I actually just finished another map yesterday. It's awaiting review, but when it is, I'll post screen shots

I don't have the playable version of SolC since I'm not a developer for the team yet. Even if I did have access, It wouldn't be right to share assets like that until PG is out. Ask Max if you want access to the game. For now, pictures will have to do when it comes to my map, unless you download UDK ...

Just finished another map. Will post pictures as soon as the map is reviewed by the Sol Contingency project lead! Look forward to it because it's pretty sweet I think.

Awesome. Thank you! It's no rush, but I would like somewhere for SolC to announce some stuff, like my (currently) fan maps.

It's not just to let people know when the game is playable. I'm sure some players will want to discuss SolC here on Descentbb instead of going to the SolC forums, similar to the way Miner Wars has its own subforum for discussions. I'm sure that when PG is out, a forum will be made, but I'm thinking ...

Sol Contingency is a new 6dof game that will soon release its Proving Grounds demo. I would like to request that Sol Contingency gets its own forum or at least its own sub-forum in the 6dof game development. Until now, a lot of the development of SolC has been kept under wraps with the exception of ...

Who do I make the request to?

Let me rephrase something: currently, Sol Contingency is being built with UDK. The full game will be built with UE4. Many skills learned in the UDK can be applied to using UE4. You can download the UDK for free and if you're interested in mapping, try it out. I just wanted to reiterate that the game...

I know this is a forum for D1, 2, and 3 maps, but since SolC will try to be the definitive spiritual successor of Descent (in addition to the lack of a Sol Contingency forum) I will post this here. I'm a fairly rookie mapper who grew up with Descent as many of us here have. I decided a year ago that...

Just wanted to bring this back up. Sol Contingency has already released a gameplay video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avPeGfIQnw0). From my understanding, the multiplayer demo is due for late March/early April.
