Title: Old Shit (img heavy)
Post by: Veda on September 20, 2008, 06:46:39 am: I came across some super old shit about the early development of Tremulous and thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

Fancy render (at the time!) for a website splash page

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/3.jpg)

More readable version if you ask me:

Idea sketch for Dragoon:

Gorillas are scary(although I love them), I used this as some reference for the form of the Dragoon:

Mr. Cuddly, the Granger - name so by Jex:

What could have been, instead of egg sacs, these egg layers would pop players out, model look familiar? :

Some quick sketch of some map object ideas, alien life that wasn't so friendly:

An example of how Timbo and I worked through some early problems, this was the working design of the turret:

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/rotation_spot.gif)

Wow, this just shows how much more talented Jex is at making an engaging interface, this was an early , early mockup of how I thought Tremulous UI should look:

If you can get anything out of this sketch than I can, kudos to you:

Early sketch of the soldier:

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/soldier3.jpg)

Version 1 of the soldier, I like spider eyes, creepy shit:

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/sol_render.jpg)

Version 2 of the soldier, fangs? creepy shit:

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/sol_render2.jpg)

Version 3 of the soldier, female form + alien body * sexual nightmare ^ Freudian fantasy = ultimate monster. I prescribe to the Gieger sexual alien theory of design early on (I can't believe no one has dissected the hivemind yet)

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/sol_shot2.jpg)

Tech Tree v0.1

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/tech_tree.gif)

Alien Tech Tree v0.1

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/tech_tree_aliens.gif)

As far as sketches go, this might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever created to explain a gameplay mechanic. What this female mime was doing in space gear, I have no idea:

(http://mercenariesguild.net/alienleader/trapper.gif)

Let's get this one out of the way:

I have to end on a high note, this is me in my patriotic best on the left, Newport Beach , July 4th parade 2006:

Shout out to Timbo, maverick programmer, Jex, graphic assassin and Khalsa for hosting these images.

Post by: Nux on September 20, 2008, 04:48:47 pm: It took me too damn long to figure out where you were on that photo. I started off trying to find you in one of the cars, possibly wearing a red and white striped hat.

Surely I'm not the only one who is suprised when he sees attractive, female developers.

Post by: Odin on September 20, 2008, 08:03:52 pm: Wow, the old alien concepts are definitely much more terrifying than the new ones. I got nostalgic when I looked at them though, they remind me of Quake I monsters.

Subtle...

I like the upright-spider-thing alien, that could have been interesting.

Post by: Bissig on September 21, 2008, 01:09:32 am: The potential "egg sacks" remind me of the booster. I always felt it looked much to alive for its sole poisoning purpose. !bank, one server out there in the wild has it.

The font used in the second image looks like the war§ow font :-) Also, the spaceships remind me of some scenes of an anime I think. Hmm, can't remember really. Very familiar though.

Hot babes and hot gfx. What else you need? Wait, where's the beer ;-P

Post by: mooseberry on September 21, 2008, 05:13:02 am: Just pointing out it was a tad obvious. I don't go around saying you need to breathe to survive. Or whatever.

Whatever.

Got a real kick out of that, and it reminds me a bit of Rocket Girl in Quake 2. I love when you guys post this dev stuff.

I want to believe that that's you but I can't help but noticing the credits page for Tremulous....Mike "Veda" McInerney. In all my life I have never met a female named Mike, I've met a Mikey (short for Michelle) and a Mickey but no Mike's.

Post by: + OPTIMUS + on September 22, 2008, 06:37:05 am: that headless goon would've been a nice marauder.

I believe they were used on some version of the website at some point. I made them in LW strictly to render into an image for Tremulous, not to use for assets.

Glad you guys got a kick out of some of these.

Also, thank you for the flashback, love to see more of the development "Deleted Scenes."

Post by: Colkadome on September 28, 2008, 01:55:04 pm: Whoa the 'early sketch of a soldier' looks so much like one of the monsters, the 'needler', from 'Silent Hill: Homecoming'. Maybe they stole the idea...
Title: Re: Old Shit (img heavy)
Post by: Unanimated on October 26, 2008, 01:42:39 am: It would be cool if there was a screenshot of the first working form of Tremulous.

These are cool though, I love comparing the current to the development.

Unanimated, www.tremulous.net/screenshots (http://www.tremulous.net/screenshots) has some really old in-game shots if you look at pages 6-13. Here are a couple examples:
A brighter side of karith (http://tremulous.net/media/screenshots/79_full.jpg) Not very atmospheric...
Old Niveus. (http://tremulous.net/media/screenshots/36_full.jpg) I like the new one.
Lame-thrower (http://tremulous.net/media/screenshots/10_full.jpg) Ugly guy with an ugly gun.
