Anyone remember me? I worked on Renegade and SS at Westwood... [message #325506]

Hi!

I was the online lead for Renegade, and prior to that Sole Survivor. Those were great times. Working with the beta community was the most enjoyment I had in my mainstream gamedev career.

Let me cut to the chase. I have created an indie game called "Army of Earth" and I have just announced Open Beta for it. It is crucial that I develop a Beta testing community. If you are interested to be involved, please contact me! Please note that it is an INDIE game; no manpower to create beautiful graphics. My focus is on online gameplay and I need your help to develop it...

I wasn't sure whether it would be acceptable to post here or not. If this is the wrong place or is inappropriate, I apologize, please delete this post... Of course I would not want anyone to quit the Renegade community.

Take care!
Tom Spencer-Smith

How can anyone remember you when this is your first post?

I googled the name and Tom Spencer-Smith did work for WW on Renegade however I find it hard to believe he did from Sinapore. Also, assuming your are the real deal. You didn't provide a link.

Yep my site is armyofearth.com.

I just rejoined the forum today. LordMot was my dev nickname at Westwood. If there are any members who were in the Renegade beta test (or SS) they might remember me.

I lived in Vegas during Westwood days. But I'm not a US citizen and now find myself in Singapore. Actually I was originally hired into Westwood out of Singapore too.

Anyway the offer is out there, I would be honored to have any of you help me with Army of Earth...

Cheers,

Tom

It sounds like you're going in a sort of PlanetSide-like direction with this?

Sounds interesting, and for a 7MB download there's not much I could lose out on by trying it.

Hooray for free shit!

I never played PlanetSide but it might be similar.

The combat arena in Army of Earth is relatively small so you will interact with hundreds of players. It is supposed to be more strategic than action.

Just played with a couple of you including TryLee... got some gameplay tasks to work on already!

If you did really did work on Renegade, do you know what happened to the old assets? Pre-release models, etc.

Oh No...Threatfire does not like this game, it says the game tried to change what my firewall will allow in. I moved it to quarentine, anyone else having problems?

Sorry Westwood shut its Vegas doors in 2003. Chances of tracking down anything related to Renegade are slim; only possibility is if you have an EA contact who is prepared and able to help.

Renohol: I would recommend you use respected, trusted, reliable protection software... Norton, etc. Turn on windows firewall too.
I usually go read the comments for a product on download.com to see what people's experience is. You'll probably find a lot of negative discussion about the one you mention...

Cheers,

Tom

Yeah, I kind of expected that was the case. At least we still have quite a lot of pre-release models already.

Personally, I find that a firewall on the PC is not needed if you have a router with a firewall and NAT built into it plus a good anti-virus and anti-spyware to catch nasties.

The router stops attacks from the outside and the anti-virus and anti-spyware ensures nothing nasty gets installed that will try to send unwanted network traffic out.

Then you should play it asap. You can download it for free and activate a 14-day trial. It's an FPS that almost requires the strategy of an RTS, or at least it used to when there was a larger player base. Looking at the concept for the game may give you inspiration though.

Canadacdn, Aircraftkiller released all of the old assest he got from WS a couple years ago.

I've now made my first Beta bugfix - in response to something abombm1 found and posted to my forums (www.armyofearth.com/forums)

I also want to hear everybody's thoughts in particular about the top few most glaringly obvious things that urgently need improving, in your opinion.

BTW ingame and in forums I call myself CodeMonkey.

Cheers,

Tom

Just played it, it's great fun, I love that you can build stuff anywhere and keep making the base bigger and bigger. Smile

Need to get more people playing this. Very Happy

That means we're in the same country... cool! Maybe you could tell me which part of SG you live in...
I'll try it this weekend ASAP.

Thanks IronWarrior Smile

The bots are not very stimulating opponents, they are really just filler at the moment. But I suspect the game could be very fun with scores (or hundreds) of human players. With balancing and other improvements.

Nopol: yep. Living in Toa Payoh, and looking for an HDB to buy in this overheated market Sad

Where are you?

It's reliable in the sense that only formatting your computer removes it...

AVG is always a good bet for anti-viruses, can't go wrong with macaffe really either, Norton is just useless bloatware.
