Default Alien Assault - the end of the project...?

As the release of V1.02 is getting closer we feel it might be the end of the project at least for the developers, therefore I made a small movie just for fun and I hope you enjoy.

PS: Watch it now since I don't know for how long YouTube will allow it due to music laws...

...and THANK YOU!

And one evening a few weeks later, Niklas is going to feel bored out of his freaking mind, dig out the Alien Assault source code...

I had to happen ... life goes on. Kids grow up, and someday they leave home for a life of their own ...

Can we beg once more for an open source release?

This is a fairly active community, and it would be a pity that only new contents can be created, not new features.

Once more: thanks, thanks, thanks. I can only think of a handful of games that have provided more enjoyment, and I'm not done with yours yet!

Well, we will not totally ignore the game so if there are some good ideas which are (fairly) isolated in code we could most likey make a new release now and then. Also if serious bugs are found we will address them.

Very funny!!

But a bit sad, as like a goodbye...

No, please, you can't let it die... I mean, I'll be playing this game all my life!

Do you have any idea of how many people you have made happy? Thank you, Teardown.

By the way... Could you make this video available as a download, as well as the "AlienAssault V1.0 combat teaser"?
Don't worry if it isn't possible. Thank you.

Use a Youtube downloader, and install an .flv plugin for your media player.

Nope.

Niklas and Jorgen have been developing the game for nearly three years now. Myself and Curtis have been in it for year and a half.

Truth is, we're just tired with this title and want to try our hand at producing another, different game for a change of pace.

With V1.02 it feels like the game is done. Next would be to start adding more stuff but then maybe a V2.0 would be better - to start from scratch. But I really can't see myself doing that...right now. I need something else first at least.

How about Alien Assault 40.000?

Like, a game that lets you compose an army of alien hunters an pit them against an army of, lets say, Aliens?

Nah, wouldnt work.
Youd have to paint a shitload of miniature soldiers, how would do that?

Better make it a turnbased computer game, make everything cost ressource points and oh, make some terrain so they can hide or cover and stuff...

Or tanks. Make some tanks too!

Edit: Epic idea, ey? like, just smaller soldiers but 10x as many? Yeah, i could totally see how this could work...

Cannon Fodder 3? But we will call it Hammer Cannon 30k...

Seriously there are so many good games for inspiration...

It's not the end, it's just the beginning! I already downloaded enough campaigns to keep me busy for years. You guys need to take a vacation then come back and start hammering out new ideas.

And now that you're free from all that 40k fluff, you can take AA in any direction you want! Add all sorts of cool crap for AA2!

I actually have some cool ideas for AA2...but I feel like when thinking about starting all over. However I really doubt AA2 would take 3 years to make. The AI could more or less be moved over with some minor additions. I think the visual representation ingame along with some limitations like 10 soldiers are those that would be changed on day one. Then I have an idea about adding a feature/mode/section so you feel the "need" to play the game almost daily...but we'll see what happens.
