Netstorm: Islands at War
If you want to play the map join the NetStorm channel on bnet, we might get a few games together
Edit: Beta version released on EU and US b.net (thanks to deathnight) Big thanks to Phaos for making me the bridge models and helping with modeling.
Here's my progress so far
This is an attempt to remake a great game with the same title released in 1997. While the gameplay was fun it didn't get enough attention so it's time to change that.
It's basically an RTS taking place on islands in the sky. You have to build bridges to approach resources and enemies while building different kind of cannons to secure your position. The core gameplay is relatively simple but the strategies available are really complex.
Here's how the game looks like
You can also download the original game here for free: http:www.netstormhq.com/download.php?list.10
The bridge system is pretty much done and I've got everything in my head about how to continue it so all I need is free time now but I could use anyone's help with making the different cannons in data editor and who I would need the most is a modeller to create the different type of bridges.

Posted Dec 26, 2010OMFG!!! it was one of my favourite games of all time, being one of the most excessively strategic game which forced you to think 10 things at once, alas the number of ppl playing let it down, there was always a sense of loneliness because you'd have to wait 15 minutes or 20 minutes to get 1 game nearing 2009. Being mediocre really at the game I wasn't as patient either to wait 20 minutes, you'd need constant game practice to improve. anyway this upgraded version looks dam good, hopefully the new look will encourage people to have a go at this amazing idea of a game. after reading this i just want to play again :).

Posted Sep 19, 2010Hello
Im amazed to see this. I play NetStorm myself. The game is still alive after 13 years, even though we are not that many people left.
If you want people to try out your Beta version you should go and ask some of us who still plays NetStorm.
We are still active on www.netstormhq.com - Just post a forum post - im sure people will be interested.
My name on NS is zazu, so if you find me there just contact me.

Posted Aug 1, 2010Very good from what I can tell. Trying to play this however has really shown me how terrible the popularity system actually is... I've been in a lobby for 30 mins, and not a single person has joined!

Posted Jul 21, 2010Lemme tell you, I'm so excited for this to happen! This game remains in my top 5. I just kinda suck at it compared to everyone who still plays.

Posted Jun 26, 2010Thanks. Well only published as always :o But they won't bother with copyright issues for a custom map people would laugh at them.
