Testing the waters - Legend Of Galactic Heroes

Testing the waters - Legend Of Galactic Heroes

A mod for a series most of you will never have heard of.

As with many other people I saw Sins and thought that it would make a great game to mod, however being slightly stranger than many of you, the first series that sprung to my mind was Legend of Galactic Heroes, now im not even going to attempt to explain the series, but will atleast say that anyone who likes real sci-fi (The Foundation series, Dune etc) owes it to themselves to investigate it.

I had been resisting doing this until the mod tools came out and I could see just how modifiable the game was, but from what I can determine from "poking around" most of what I envision can be done with what we have now, even if it might take a little bit (ok maybe a lot) of creativity. The only obvious discrepancy between the mod and the series is that fleets will have to be somewhat smaller, but still as big as can be managed, but 10,000+ ships is somewhat unlikely.

So this is a general, anyone feel like helping out? as it stands I only really need a modeler\texturer.

And don't take this as a Mod announcement, just like it says testing the waters.

I have to give you guys “huge mad props yo” for actually doing more than simply replacing the ship models and actually editing gameplay. The system you have for planet upgrades is awesome, and I loved the particle effects you used around the various planets. The neutral trading system is a great addition and adds a lot of atmosphere to the mod.

But you guys get serious bonus parts for doing stuff a lot of other mods I’ve played couldn’t be bothered with, things like replacing various buttons and screens adds a lot of professionalism to the project.

Keep up the good work folks.

I went to download it off of moddb, but for some reason every time I hit the download button, the little pop-up add that comes up telling me to click a link of the download doesn't start right away flashes for a second, then goes black. When I tried highlighting the text, all I saw was a 404 error message. Would you be willing to e-mail me what I need? Or is there some other alternative you would prefer, because....well...after seeing that trailer and those images you had posted, I'm feeling like I need this mod. lol.
