As I said on DA, words are inadequate to expressed how impressed I am with your work. :thumbsup:

I just saw that on DA, fantastic work. Was this model made this for some in-game movies?

Hello:
Those designs look very good, as Majestic said, I also imagine that for in-game movies... but maybe even for comics or stories or extra videos too :D :excited: .

Very nicely done!

I'll be attending a portfolio show on December 12th, 2012 (this Wednesday). I'll have a booth there with my games on display. Sigma, Hyrule: Total War, and Antibody will all be playable. There will be industry representatives there from companies like Blizzard and Obsidian, so if you'd like to show up there to make some connections feel free. The event takes place at the Chuck Jones Gallery in Costa Mesa, Southern California. Non-Industry representatives can show up anytime between 2pm - 5pm (PST). Since most of the people on these forums that follow Sigma seem to be from Europe I doubt some of you will come, but in the off chance someone lives within a 3 mile radius it might give them something to do for a few hours.

For now, here's a new trailer of Sigma that I'll display at the show for those that won't attend:

[video=youtube;PJEiy_ez2Ek]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJEiy_ez2Ek[/video]​

We finally get a good look at some of the power the final faction you can play as wields at the very end.

I'm aiming for a new release this Christmas, so hang tight and it might not be that far off.

I won't be able to attend the exhibition, but that trailer is pretty awesome. :thumbsup: Good luck with the show! Hopefully somebody important likes one of your mods enough to give you a job.

Hello:
I was able to see the video yesterday (I think?), I like the voices that you've chose for the characters... I think i don't need to say how awesome the cinematics are :worship: .

This look less and less like a Full Convertion mod and more like a fully new game or even a new science fiction movie :shock: .

Long time no update. Despite that I've been doing things for Sigma occasionally though not as often as I'd like. Regardless I managed to get something to work today that made me very excited. Using a trick with Borg Holding Beams I've finally been able to make it so that any base built by a player can appear visually connected to another base regardless of where it is placed. This is particularly important for the last race in Sigma that is being worked on since I want all their bases to be interconnected but I don't want them to have the limitations of being research pods. A lot of thanks goes to Dom for helping out with this, a lot of crashes happened before getting it to work.

I'll probably write a tutorial on how to do this trick for anyone interested.

Some screenshots of the new race I've been working on. I'll probably have a detailed PDF with background information and all of their units so the mystery behind them won't last much longer.

Wow, you've put a lot of work into this, I love the backstory of how they were created. The one thing I love more than anything with Sigma is the story so many games nowadays just focus on gameplay when a good story can really bring the experience alive. Sigma has this and no matter where you take the Sigma Universe it will be a success as you have an interesting and original story and universe that pulls you in. :thumbsup:

Really cool! I look forward to playing them! :excited:

Do you already have a batch of mix-tech for these? I could offer you my inspirational services.

A new late game VRA unit called the Kraken Battle Platform. I liked the unit enough to show it before I finished the VRA pdf:

It's built in three states, the first two are a stationary bases, while the final form is a mobile fortress.

Wow, that is really cool TUN! I assume that larger ship is set below the others to reduce pathing issues?

Indeed, though it is able to rise to the same level as other objects if you force it to. The bottom "floor" is just set to a value slightly higher then the "top" though, so when there are a large volume of objects it naturally descends under them.

Why must you be so awesome :cry: Giant ships of awesome! My weakest point, you have found it! (Well, second weakest, after humongous mecha.)

Right now they're showing old TNG episodes over here. It's great, but you know what would be better? Sigma episodes. Heck, I would even buy those on DVD. Get going, ja? :p

That's pretty awesome! I keep wanting to give you rep every time you post, but it keeps telling me that you're the last person I gave rep to. :oops:

They're going to be showing The Best of Both Worlds over here at the theater, remastered and edited together as a feature length movie.
