The_Major Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Alrighty, i thought this the best place to ask this so here it goes. Currently in development, as alot of you may or may not know, there is a total conversion to the Macross universe, more specificly the DYRL? "Version" of the Space War One Era, and rather than calling it the Macross DYRL? TC for Homeworld 2, im looking for a nice catchy name for the project. so if there are any of you out there with some ideas, as i know ya are, give us a suggestion. Quote
bsu legato Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 My suggestions: Do You Remember Homeworld? or Homeworld: Space War One and rejected on grounds of taste: Homeworld 2: The Quickening Quote
buddhafabio Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 bsu legato gave me another idea Homeworld 2:macross, space war I Quote
Impreszive Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Question. Do you have to kill your fleet at the end of each mission so you can have a chance of winning the next? Quote
Chowser Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Question.Do you have to kill your fleet at the end of each mission so you can have a chance of winning the next? not really, the game generates enemies for the next level based on what you have left, just enough to beat you, basically, if you have all one type of ships, the computer will have ships that beat that. if you have a decent well-balanced fleet, you should be able to beat the computer. or you can retire all your ships and the end of each level, and have a bunch in the queue ready to be built. ------ Homeworld 2 Plus or Homeworld 2+2 Lovers again Quote
Impreszive Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 Cool. I really just want to use the Macross' main Gun on Makaan. I really hate that guy. "Makaaaaaaan!!! aaaaan aaaan aaan Quote
Lightning Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 as long as the VF-4's are represented well is all i care about.... Quote
one_klump Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Major! nice to hear from you! The site hasn't been updated in a while (I'm on to talk, check out the HW DYRL site ) How are things progressing? any new models besides Lestat's revamped (pun intended) Gun Destroyer? Quote
The_Major Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 Yeah there's been lots of progress, Lestat has Revamped the Gundestroyer, modeld the Calliara destroyer, ARMD, 3 melt ships, and The Nupetiet-Vernitzs has been overhauled as well. and he updated the textures on my QF-3000. Also Rauk has compleated the VF-1A model and is working on the texture. And Alfie is working on the Qf-9iE and its lookin pretty nice. and as for me, im working on the spiderbug recovery craft, the Oberth, and random things like missiles and the like. On some side notes, the original VF-X-4 will be represented acurately, as well as the "Newer" VF-X-4 design as featured on hikarus desk in DYRL? "Makaaaaaaan!!! Oh dear the man has been taken over by captain Kirk :-p and youll be able to use the main cannon on just about anything you like, and as soon as we figure out how to implement custom animations, youll be able to transform her from Crusier to Storm Attacker at your wim. Just try not to piss off the citizens in the city by transforming too much. and rejected on grounds of taste:Homeworld 2: The Quickening I am wondering, how much pot would i have to smoke, to concider this name Quote
Lightning Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 so once this mod's "done" we might have a mod for Macross 7? Quote
Akilae Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Question.Do you have to kill your fleet at the end of each mission so you can have a chance of winning the next? Â not really, the game generates enemies for the next level based on what you have left, just enough to beat you, basically, if you have all one type of ships, the computer will have ships that beat that. if you have a decent well-balanced fleet, you should be able to beat the computer. or you can retire all your ships and the end of each level, and have a bunch in the queue ready to be built. ------ Homeworld 2 Plus or Homeworld 2+2 Lovers again Well.. it's still largely based on numbers... go in with 2 HCs and 4 Destroyers, and you'll be up against 6 HCs, 20+ Destroyers, hundreds of bombers, fighters, frigates, etc.... Go in with 1 HC... or god forgid, no cap ships, and at most you'll see 1 HC, and MAYBE 1 or 2 Destroyers. I dunno, but I had a hell of a better time against 1 HC compared to 6 HC + 20 Destroyers.... oh, my two cents: HW2: DYRL (keep it simple, leaves space for future additions... like... HW2: Mac Plus, HW2: Mac 7..... maybe even HW2: Flashback :-p) Quote
The_Major Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 Alright my full intention with this mod, is once DYRL? is done to go on to the next increment of importance in the macross universe wich would indeed be Flashback 2012 we even have a partial Megaroad done already (was started before project came together, we are now focusing on just DYRL? as not to become overwhelmed) and once the ships are done ofcourse we will do a campaign for each era wich will give us a chance to ease some minds by providing our own answer to "What happend to the SDF-2". Sooooooo in short here is a production list. in order of how we are going to do things. DYRL? Ships and mecha When ships are done a campaign will be done Macross: Flashback 2012 ships and mecha When ships are done a campaign will be done Macross + era Ships and mecha (with cameo's from Isamu and Guld and possibly sharon. When ships are done a campaign will be done (Duno how this will work out) Macross 7 Era ships soundforce is a maybe...... When ships are done a campaign will be done Then just so you dont think im forgeting you. and you know who you are after all of the above is compleated i will try and do a Macross II addition too. And ofcourse the best part about all this is multi player where it will be possible to choose from each Era's "Goodies and Baddies" and pit them against each other for example.. the Space war one era UNS fleet against Mac 7 era UNS fleet, or Meltrandi vs Varuta (sp?) and so on.

wolfx Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Macross: Space War 3000A.D (or whatever year depending on the units) Macross: Fleet Command (sounds like star trek) Quote
Impreszive Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 How about "Macross: Happy Happy love Joyful Songs of the Future!" Makaaaaaaaaan!!!!!! gosh dern it. That just keep slipping out! Quote
Boxer Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 For this reason I wish this computer could play HW2. Sadly, it can't From what you had of the MSDF-1 in the origional HW, I can't wait to see the Megaroad. Is 2012 strictly 2012 or the era in between M7 and FB2012? Also, will we see the VA-14/VF-14 in addition to the all-so-loveable VF-4? And will VF-1s still be there in a support role or will you make all new fighters for these roles? If this mod comes out before the end of the year (When I get a working computer I can't decide weather I should ignore HW and play this mod or not. Quote
Akilae Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I was just looking up at the title on my browser window... and it struck me... assuming Shawn and Graham don't object....... MacrossWorld!! yeah baby!!! err.. you know, Macross.. + Homeworld...? From there, we can do: MW: DYRL, MW: Flashback 2012, MW: Plus... Alright, it's getting late... signs of sleep depreviation are beginning to show... Quote
ZorClone Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Macrossworld, a Homeworld 2 TC would Shawn and Graham mind the game being named after their site? ya know.. imitation is the finest form of flattery also, you don't need Homeworld2 or HW2 infront of the title.. many other mods don't follow that trend. (Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, etc) Quote
ZorClone Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 omg Akilae you h4x! we had the same idea at the same time, but you finished your post first haha Quote
one_klump Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 lol I still like the first title, Homeworld 2: Macross - Do You Remember Love? Quote

DestroidDefender Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 What's Wrong with MACROSS: SPACE WAR ONE Quote
Cdr Fokker Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) What's Wrong with MACROSS: SPACE WAR ONE Hmm, you know what I like about this one? It doesn't have the *&$! word homeworld in it! ... Just because you're modding a game doesn't mean you're obligated to put the original title in the mod's title... Edited April 23, 2004 by Cdr Fokker Quote
one_klump Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 hehe, looks like someone touched a nerve... Quote
The_Major Posted April 24, 2004 Author Posted April 24, 2004 well lol, i guess the dev has spoken, :-p we will go with Macross: Space War One people need to lay off the caffiene Quote
Akilae Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 well lol, i guess the dev has spoken, :-p we will go with Macross: Space War Onepeople need to lay off the caffiene In hopes of throwing a monkey wrench into this whole naming scheme... How does that differentiate between the DYRL version and the TV version? Quote
DestroidDefender Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Well. I'm flattered. I expect a small percentage. What do you mean it's not for profit? *^%#@!!! Quote
akt_m Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 is there any chance of having battle 7 in the mod??? just for fun. "Homeworld 2 Macross Total Converstion: The Mod Without End" Quote
The_Major Posted April 29, 2004 Author Posted April 29, 2004 we're gonna work towards having a new macross class colony fleet at some point. Quote
Hurin Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 (edited) It doesn't have the *&$! word homeworld in it!... Just because you're modding a game doesn't mean you're obligated to put the original title in the mod's title... Hehe. . . true enough. But I wrote a scenario for Civilization II based on Tolkien's The Silmarillion. . . Even though I state it clearly in several places (even in the logo). . . I still get a few emails per month asking: "Hey, what's this? How do I play it? Do I need some other game?" Maybe putting Homeworld somewhere in the title (like a subtitle) would help cut down on such questions. Personally, I love: "Macross: Space War One" H Edited April 29, 2004 by Hurin Quote
one_klump Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 M:SWO is nice for a title, but if we are going to have a logo, I suggest doing what we have been doing, having the title put across the HW / HW2 title, just to make things clear. Quote
The_Major Posted April 30, 2004 Author Posted April 30, 2004 I would have to agree with Klump, the Title will be Macross DYRL? Space War One. and the logo will be simmiler to how he described it. Quote
