Hey guys! While I usually post about other peoples mods and indie projects etc that interest me I figured I'd start with a thread about all the retro stuff I'm working on these days... Back in the 90s I used to muck around with Doom 2 and Civilization 2 modding but never finished any of my projects. Well in recent years I've been getting back into it (call it can early midlife crisis lol) and released a GZDoom enhanced version of my old <a href="https://blakessanctum.wordpress

Just when you think you've seen everything lol.. these Russian fellows have been working on a Resident Evil 1 game on the good old SEGA Genesis / Mega drive and it looks pretty awesome! Obviously not 3D but a very cool 2.5D isometric retro conversion of all the rooms, monsters, and characters. I tried out the demo on the Itch page and sadly its waaaaaaay older than the stuff they've been posting over the last few years. I still collect games for my Mega Drive so I hope they get it done before
Yup JMS has been posting about the reboot on his twitter. He's writer and showrunner for the reboot. Considering the toll the original show took on him I hope the reboot doesn't send him to an early grave!
Well here we are 3 years on and unfortunately there hasn't been another attempt at a Starflight 3 game crowdfund or a new demo. However recently the first ever Starflight Anthology book was relea
[quote who="gypsy2299" reply="4" id="3809967"] If you have the Civ2 complete edition then my favorite was the Atlantis scenario. [/quote] Yup I have that one but don't think I ever played it properly sadly. Think I found some enhanced fan remakes of it too that I'll have to upload to the collections. Anyway, time for a big update as it's been a while! I've been busy doing lots of searching and tracking down long lost mo
Oh dear lol... Yeah I can't add you back in either... Presumably you've been speaking directly with a admin there when you retook control of the mod pages so have you messaged that person? Probably much quicker that any official request system or forum thread. If there's any troubles I can try messaging the admin that helped me in the past to help you. While it makes pefect sense not giving me member management access I've recommend that when you get back in you share
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5307" id="3801194"] gave you extensive rights (all except member management for now [e digicons]:sun:[/e] ) had a look at your personal site - nice retro feeling. You really did lots of stuff. also remastered really looks nice [/quote] Cheers mate, nah that makes perfect sense setting my rights that way. I'm new to this project and I didn't volunteer to manage project members anyway so good
Got mine and accepted. Yeah I really need to get my hands on the remastered version too. Looks cool! [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4HS5K3MdMY[/video]
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5293" id="3800912"] OK guys, I've now got access to both of the Babylon 5 Mods on Moddb using our assets. Please send me your handles/usernames or emails for moddb so i can add you. I would like you to keep https://www.moddb.com/mods/sins-of-the-younger-races and use <a href="https://www.moddb.com/mods/babylon-5"
Wow that ship is gorgeous! :) [quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5287" id="3800652"] Thanks, will try to make time to find the email from moddb and get access again. Thanks for the roses, minbari titan is my work, made after the mongoose model, slightly adapted. As for screenshots - we had quite a lot over the years but feel free to make new ones as ours are very old indeed. Yes, the mod is alpha still (because there are still basic features and models miss
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5282" id="3792810"]Thanks for the offer. Somebody once tried to establish a modDB presence using our mod which I shot down with the help of modDB. I then said I would put it on modDB when I feel like it is no longer alpha state. Long time has passed and while I still consider it alpha I will leave it up to Hael-sose to decide if he wants to have the moddb presence or not. The moderators then told me that they would give me access to the moddb pag
[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="9" id="3792021"] Is there a Linux version of these games. They need a Linux version. [/quote] No idea.. probably not though haha! Ooooh just heard about another MOO like project called [b] Alliance of the Sacred Suns [/b] (that seems to have been doing public betas for years under the name Imperia5x) when I saw it's
Now there's one in my city nowhere near you guys lol. Adelaide, South Australia!
Big update as I widened my search to get help from more communities out there and had some AWESOME responses from people so many thanks to everyone who's contacted me publicly and privately! I'm also starting to look more at newer Civilization games (4-6) and finding some good stuff. Someone pointed out that I should include a The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim etc) section and gave me several Civ scenarios for it I'd never hea
Have you guys considered a ModDB page? I notice all the other big Sins Reb mod projects ( Star Wars , Star Trek , Stargate , Mass
[quote who="TobiWahn_Kenobi" reply="5278" id="3792413"]done [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] [/quote] Thanks haha. :) BTW I'm guessing the 1.93+ reference means steam users with the current version 1.95 will be fine too? Guess I'll find out soon enough lol.
woah! thank you so much for releasing the mod again!!! :) Look forward to trying it out with my mates at a LAN party and maybe doing a youtube video if its playable enough. First feedback which you can feel free to ignore is I got confused as hell with your downloads layout haha, but eventually figured out that the main download was in the middle of all those new and old updates lol, maybe it shouldn't be towards the middle of all the updates. I'd also recommend reversing the order. M
[quote who="SchismNavigator" reply="1" id="3790134"] We shall see. I am not expecting anything mind blowing like Deus Ex. But hopefully it will be good. [/quote] Yeah nothing beats the original.. I really hope they remake that one day instead of doing all these prequels. Meanwhile it looks like Night City Wire Episode 4 came out a little while back.. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcWf0pnbfLA[/video] Along with yet ANOTHER delay announcement l
If people are interested in more info I've finally just written a belated steam review with a big list of the game's pros and cons (IMO). https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198058803521/recommended/984680 Also just released some videos covering my thoughts too: Part 1 [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpqP2s6ypys[/video
Thanks, but I think there's been a slight misunderstanding here lol. This thread wasn't about looking for games similar to Civ, it's about looking for mods for actual Civ games. Although I do actually have a separate project where I'm looking for games like Civ and Col and yup I've got those suggested one in my list. :) Yup GalCiv has some great mods under these categories and I already cover a bunch of them on my site. I'm planning a separate Master of Orion legacy website (s
Hey guys :) I’m on the Hunt for big Civilization game series total conversion mods & scenarios with a particular focus on Civ2 & Civ3 (but am now expanding to Civ4, 5, 6 & spinoffs) relating to a whole bunch of my favourite fantasy & scifi movie/TV/gaming franchises. Been posting in a few different Civ forums and getting great feedback, plus whenever someone has told me about an awesome scenario that’s disappeared over the years I’ve managed to track
Sound good mate. I look forward to the next release and trying it with my mates! Are you guys operating out of a new project site these days (eg ModDB)? I noticed the old site's been inactive since 2011.
This guy has done a good review of the Everspace 2 closed beta currently happening. I like how he constantly compares to Freelancer instead of other games haha. He mentioned planet surface stuff but yeah who knows if its gonna be like my beloved Freelancer. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXARTskUbC0[/video]
Holy moly! I tributed your old project on my B5 games retro website years ago and actually thought the project was dead. Am so happy to see you guys still here working away on it and that it's for Rebellion. Especially as I wasn't a Sins player back then but I am now! Been playing lots of Rebellion mods and doing youtube videos, would LOVE to do a video of yours one for fans like I've done with other
Anyone else excited about Cyberpunk 2077s release soon? Being a retro gamer I don't even have a PC good enough to run the thing haha but nevertheless I've been drooling over all the videos CD Projekt Red have been releasing on youtube lately. Eg just look at the amazing views of the huge city in this one! [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNC6MEA4rQk[/video] Over the last few months they’ve been doing a really good behind the scenes series called &lsq
