Upcoming 2024 MOD! | Tiberian Sun Ion Shock - New Version

[@niiranen]

I like the fire, smoke, explosions A LOT. And there is a lot of frames in the animations and the animations have high fps. Very nice!

[@City-Hunter]

the Tiberium glow and lightning storms really make the atmosphere of this universe unique!

[@Naz_LVII]

This is incredible! The developer does excellent work. The move to the new engine type makes so much sense now. Having different tab slots for building ques alone is an excellent upgrade, and the engine used still achieves the look and feel Tiberian Sun has. Being able to have different unit commands is also a much needed improvement, and we can see in the bottom left corner of the screen we will now have those options. You definitely deserve some patronage! I also love the SFX improvements and how the new smoke, explosion, and death animations look. Like how the explosion around a tiberium field has green smoke instead of brown from the dirt. Very impressive and important for the immersion. That attention to detail adds to the awe factor RTS games can offer and a big reason why I love this developer! The music added is quite enjoyable and feels accurate for the Tiberian universe's mood as well. It looks like the Tiberian Sun Remake we've all been waiting for!

[@perahoky]

tiberian sun has simply the most C&C like sc-ifi mystical feeling for me. especially the sounds are great

[@28-r8b]

nothing can top it.

I'm sceptical about how mods these days are being hidden behind patreon paywalls, and public releases lagging behind a lot. There's a fave RA3 mod I liked called "Remix", and that hasn't had a public release for 2-3 years now, and every other public pages listed for that mod has been radio silent since. This Ion Shock mod's last public release was 2 years ago, yet all I ever keep hearing is "latest updates are on their patreon, and there's been no updated public release... I feel that modders are taking the mickey a bit, by taking hold of old/dead IP's and trying to make passive money from them, since EA won't really budge or notice as much. This is why Microsoft sprung into action when people tried implementing MT's into their Minecraft servers, trying to get a cut of money from MS's game, which imo should never be allowed. I'm all for supporting a modder, but tip jars only, no walls, no excuses please. It's worked before in the past, it still works today.

[@LordInsane100]

Honestly, I think the main issue is simply the sheer extent of the lag. It'd be one thing if it was, as in some other gaming communities, standardised around patreon paywalls getting you two weeks to a month headstart or one version ahead, but when you are at multiple years behind, no indication of when another public release might come, and quite a few patreon-only updates behind you...

[@dirge7459]

@@LordInsane100 Like I'm already at least 2yrs behind on Remix's updates, because either the modders vanished into thin air, or their latest are locked behind their pateon, and they barely seem to talk publicly much these days, besides an "update" youtube vid, and then it's back to plugging their patreon. I'll always see modding as a pure past-time hobby though, and I kinda wish modders of today would still respect it in that way, rather than as a new grift/forced "career" (it really isn't one, no matter what anyone says, because there's no school or degree for modding, and general society does not recognise it as a valid path).

[@nbafsdvg]

The community is getting so much smaller nowadays and with how much time something like this could take I really doubt a tip jar would make it worth it

[@dirge7459]

@@nbafsdvg The modding communities are larger than ever, that's why some modders have decided to just paywall mods now to turn modding into a "job career" (which still doesn't justify doing so, not in general society's way of things anyway).

[@justjoking5841]

People lose interest in their projects. Life situations and money are typically the key factors.

[@garfyhe1727]

Wow,the animation of units and constructions are so cool

[@LexieAssassin]

Interesting! It's using the RA2 engine for sure, but it seems like there's a bit of restoration of things cut from the change over from the TS engine. Which is interesting, b/c IIRC, there was a version of this mod from a few years ago that was in the TS engine. That moment when you accidentally EMPed two of your own Orca Bombers... "Whoops..."

[@davidhenson1316]

Another thing about tiberian that irritates me: escalation of combat is too immediate. Game needs to slow down so you can fully experience tiers.

[@xIcyStarzz-yz7my]

Huge agree. I want a cinematic mod where the combat is kind of slowed..

[@GarretTheGussy]

You can always lower the tech ceiling

[@midorifox]

​@@GarretTheGussythat's not a fix. Not even temporary.

[@justjoking5841]

Increasing the combat range and adding some unit utilities??? How do? Like keeping the sprites and voxels but adding a personal unit UI box of sorts where units can be upgraded and use skills or something. 🤔

[@Naz_LVII]

Great feedback. How would you suggest doing that though. The only thing I can think of is to have a sort of timer on when upgrades can become available.

[@edmundwoolliams1240]

This is awesome! Brings TS to life so much more without straying from the original

[@morallygray3405]

Its interesting to see Tibsun in RA2 engine.

[@xniperianz5910]

@@Devanite13 i'm one of ank dev team there''s something that TS engine could not achieve due to some limitation engine so the sequel need to have better engine, thats why scrin faction pulled out from warzone mod, its looks like ts but still it use ra2 engine with additional ext engine such ares & phobos, until vinifera not yet complete, ra2 engine its more superior.

[@IDontNeedThisOK]

The projectiles' speed and the sparks they created on impact looks a lot more realistic than what most RTS games had.

[@spasjt]

I do believe that your skills will be useful when they remaster these games. Especially now that they have released them on Steam!!! I can't wait.

Looks nice, will wait for public release.

shame it doesn't work anymore

Unfortunately, despite how cool this is i cant deal with resolution. Modern resolutions on this game make everything SO TINY

Isn't it something you can change in settings?

[@davidhenson1316]

@@simpletube11 yes but the og game was meant to be played on very small resolutions. so when we use our modern 1600 x 1200- etc resolutions the game is tiny. like you can see a ton of the playable map

I may agree with you, and thats why i played on 1280x720. Think if the game will run on something like full hd lol

Why the Mastodon? 😰 MMK2 looks way better /e: or MARV would be crazy awesome

[@Jaddico]

Huge moral gray area, with the patron thing NGL, what am i actually paying for? someone could challenge me on this openly and i am happy for an opposing opinion but i'm a little uneasy paying 8.50 a MONTH for a game that came out in 2000 for a MOD. I understand people put time and effort into a MOD, but its still essentially a MOD at the end of the day, its not a game made from the ground up with a budget and studio team etc. this is a passion project essentially, hell if it was a total conversion it would be more enticing, but its a bit SUS if you ask me..

Господи, кому этот тибериан сан нужен, люди играюшие когда то в жто еще живы? Лучше б сделали мод на красную тревогу 2, на движке тибериум варс

[@Sciffyan]

Tiberian Sun вышел в 1999-м году. Мне, к примеру, тогда было 10 лет. Сейчас 35. Как-то ты загнул по поводу "ещё живы". Понимаю ещё, если бы речь шла об игре с какой-нибудь из совсем старых приставок из 80-х.... И то, даже 50-летних мужиков я бы не стал называть стариками, им ещё жить и жить

[@Sciffyan]

Более того, RA2 был и остаётся более популярен, и соответственно с модами к нему ситуация получше чем с TS. Разве не так? Грех жаловаться, короче

[@imperium_vox]

@@Sciffyan Мне 36, и я не понимаю, кто и зачем ещё играет в это старьё. Я в детстве в вар1 и вар2 играл, в дюну2 на сеге, все C&C старые играл, но это не значит, что я должен сегодня в это играть. Тот же CC3 Tiberium Wars на голову выше технически и с точки зрения комфорта игры, нет же люди упарываются.

[@bigbadwolf2220]

Well, everything was fine until that abomination from C&C 4 walk out of war factory, you are using models from Tiberium Wars and even Tiberium Essence mod for wolverines and APC's and you can't use model of Mammoth mk 2 from it aswell, why it has to be that Mastodont

[@rohenthar8449]

And he uses also different models like A-10 Warthog and Flying artillery, both are not fit for that universe. Its futuristic one, not modern one. And of-course Mastodon aberration... but, all this models are also in Warzone, and Warzone is not behind paywall as Ion Shock is!
