It's been a while since our last update, but some very exciting developments have been happening behind the scenes over at Renegade X. Some secrets will be unveiled today in this update, and others will be left aside for another time, soon.

Renegade X: Operation Black Dawn

Over the past few months, the team has been busy with several things. In relation to Renegade X, we've been working on porting Renegade X over to the Unreal Development Kit (UDK), which would successfully make Renegade X into a free, standalone indie game. This process has required us to recode some basic elements, and create some new static meshes for the UDK versions. The UDK really is a new beginning in many ways.

On May 4th 2010, the team released ( http://www.renegade-x.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4092 ) a new image and mysterious riddle. After many elaborate guesses and some pretty close dissections of the riddle, some figured it out: Black Dawn.

Renegade X: Operation Black Dawn is a standalone singleplayer demo, featuring the UDK. Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker is back, and in a new original level designed from scratch by Totem Arts. The Brotherhood of Nod has captured the renowned GDI scientist Dr. Ignatio Mobius, and have taken him to an island stronghold. GDI's only hope in getting back Mobius is through the use of force!

*Capture the enemy beachhead under the covering fire of Gunboats!
*Fight in large scale and covert battles!
*Witness cinematics, A-10 strikes, cruise missiles, Ion Cannons, hovercrafts, and much more!
*See the new, improved, and standalone Renegade X visual and audio experience!

It will act as a preliminary demonstration and a first-hand experience of the new face of Renegade X on the UDK, and what it has to offer. Most of what is being made for Black Dawn will be incorporated in the later multiplayer release of Renegade X - this will act as a step-up towards that final goal.

A lot of cool, top secret things are happening behind the scenes - no we haven't been hired by a developer (some members of the team however have), yes we will finish the job. That goes for both this demonstration mission, which will be fully standalone and available for everyone, and the final multiplayer release. You'll be hearing news about the latter soon.

While I prefer to play stock ren, because renX does not "feel" like I am playing the original, I think you guys always release jaw-droppingly amazing work, of an excellent standard.

Epic!

Im not too sure whether I just dont enjoy Anime anymore or whether its just I dont have time really to shit and watch it.

Now it's free without requiring a separate game, and will have a, even if one, single player mission!?

You guys are doing the impossible, the pipe dream, the fans vision of a perfect C&C FPS without it being total fan service.

Every...

Single...

Damn...

Update...

Is a new shock as big as the last. We've all seen this grow to what it is today. Shame the series came to this, but this might even be better than what EA would have done if they did it "right".

You guys should work on marketing and advertising. That's over half the battle. You DEFINITELY have the product. Now get it known! Stuff like this deserves to get big if mediocre stuff like Modern Warfare 2 and such are breaking records. This deserves to be the biggest and most hyped free game ever. Only problem is it still needs a "decent" PC to run, but anyone gaming on the PC will already have that, and this is free, so why not.

Chuck Norris gives you his seal of approval.

http://imgur.com/2pygv.png

Edit: Would like to have seen the logo more "Command & Conquer-esque", but that's a small gripe grabbing at straws. I'm not sure how you'd do it with the "X" there, so I can sort of see why it was done that way.


When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

Not sure if EA would allow that though, despite what they've allowed them so far. Even if they could, the current logo, at least the "Black Dawn" one, looks too long to fit under it and look right. The logo looks good. I was just grabbing at straws, which shows how little is wrong with everything else.

The singleplayer mission will be coming out first, and soon, before we start sharing news on the multiplayer. It'll act as a demonstration of the standalone version, and cool things like morph targets, dynamic audio, new visuals, new HUD, etc.

For the team, it's a step towards the multiplayer release, which is the core of Renegade X. Since many important things needed to be recoded anyway (example: weapon reloading), we thought, why not throw out a mission when we've got the basic things coded? This is also an important step towards the implementation of AI into Renegade X, and later, a C&C Assault game mode. On top of that, it will give us a good idea of how many downloads the multiplayer release will get, how to improve our PR, performance, etc.

Now that Operation Black Dawn has been announced, the popular Command & Conquer news site CNCNZ has posted an interview today with Renegade X founder Fobby. The interview shares some exclusive details about Black Dawn, and further discusses Renegade X's standalone multiplayer release, the UDK, the mod in the public eye, new features and more.

Quote:

CNCNZ: How are the technical aspects of incorporating the Unreal UDK going?

Fobby: Porting Renegade X to the UDK is, in some ways, like starting anew. A few aspects of the mod are being redone completely for the next version, while other aspects simply require a smooth transition.

For example, many static meshes (props, textures, etc.) were used from UT3 are nonexistent in the UDK, which requires us to recreate them. Part of what must also be redone is the code - we've created a much more organized coding structure this time around for the coming multiplayer release, and have concluded that it would be easier to redo parts of the code instead of transferring, fixing, and reorganizing old code. Both basic and complex features are being recoded.

All in all, I believe we are on track, and now that some of our core members are done with university and college for the year (or finishing up school soon), I expect the team to power through the summer with fascinating results. Just you wait.
