Tyrant v2

[thirdstreettito]

Werewulf I like it.

[Thisguy]

Wait, what?
What are you on about???

it might help you if my spacebar actually worked.

the idea was the rant could become a sort of hiveish thing that tuned any alien (exept rant) into a brand new rant (taking longer the lower level you are e.g goon= 2 min dretch = 6 for balance of course) it takes a while and the hive is weak and if its destroyed theres is wreckage that stayes there for ages. any alien that were in the hive are trapped in the wreckage until it explodes (some 3 min l8er) then they die.

Or a screenshaking roar like the advance basi acid gas (exept weaker)

I understood the last sentence. Everything else might as well be ancient Greek.

About that...

What have you been taking?

One thing that I have noticed that I dislike about the tyrant is it's "charge" animation makes it look way to much like a spider. It should be some big beast, not a spider thing like from Spy kids 2 (I know that is such a little kid movie, but I saw it with some friends for the hell of it and it was the best reference I could think of. ((Also I'm 28.)) ) If you don't know what I'm talking about, go devmap a large map such as Transit, g_alienstage 2, give funds 9, g_thirdperson 1, and than that one something like g_thirpersonrange (I forget the cvar.) and set that to 100 and "charge" and you'll see what I mean. I am no modeler or animator, though I am thinking about trying to pick up the skills as a hobby if I have the time, so I have no idea how hard this would be, but that is just my problem with the current Tyrant.

Oh and Werewulf/Samantha, GREAT work!

In case you hadn't noticed, the aliens are very arachnid/bug-like.

I know, it shocked me too.

The 'Aliens' actually were 'Spiders' in the past.

[4RT1LL3RY]

For an advanced Tyrant I think that when it charges and roars the roar should shake the screens of humans around them or blur it a bit.  Think the big baddies scream in Bioshock.

[mooseberry]

I kind of think the tyrant doesn't really look like it should be a spider at all. Obviously the dretch etc look like spiders, but the goon and rant don't. They do seem more "alien" which I think is a good thing.

(a) Amore-- Spy Kids huh?

if there is a kind of concept like that (like background story), there could be at least a short intro for 1.2 :-) if a kind of slideshow is enough (6-7 pics with short animations maybe but just like in disciples2), i would like to draw for them, so it will be ready till autumn :-)
srsly. who should i ask about it?

[techhead]

Personally, I never really liked how the Tyrant's upper body looked Human-like.
I mean, it does pretty much look like a chest, arms, and head, unlike its more spidery comrades.
My version of tyrant would be a little more crab-like than the current version, to reflect upon its toughness and health.

[Thisguy]

What have you been taking? 

take a walk around in britan without a gas mask you'll c

[HamStar]

Thisguy, when you talk of a hive-ish mess before the actual evolution, do you mean something like in StarCraft where you have a zerg drone surrounded by a gooey mess before turning into the desired building?

liek dis ? : http://www.carlsguides.com/pictures/starcraft/zerg2sunkencolony.jpg

Here is what a tyrant really looks like:

[pharo212]

No, thats a dictater. Also known as overmind.

"War. War never changes." sound familiar?
I bet the aliens story is similar to next:
Radioactive waste mutated a random mushroom that developed it self a mouth. Then it ate random spider passing by and evolved into Overmind. Overtime  it started to reproduce by producing eggs in similar way mushrooms reproduce. etc.

Shrooms!

i tookaclose look at a dretch the other day and if you look close up it has four vestigial arms underneth its head. thy're alllittle tyrant wannabies.

[techhead]

All the aliens have 6 legs, and a pair of arms/pincers, depending on the class.

[+ OPTIMUS +]

I demand the background story -.-

[whitebear]

Why don't you ask for it in irc. I am sure the devs make up one just for you. "One Thursday night drunk trem devs attempted to shoot miruru-beam out of their eyes at passing by cat. They missed it and hit spider instead. But it was radioactive spider that had hour ago bit an annoying news paper photographer. Now it mutated due too many random events and started to wreck havoc in world."

[X-20]

Just for hee-haws and laughs il try and make a skin for the tyrant model (if its ok with you? im working with it in blender)

[Kaleo]

Not entirely sure, but I have a feeling that it's blood whose behind all these necros in the past week or two.

[Taiyo.uk]

I demand the background story -.-

Once upon a time... Eight legged aliens had excessive polycounts.

[whitebear]

Once upon a time the concepts artist of tremulous had momentary memory lapse.

[Thisguy]

I demand the background story -.-

once apon a time somebody modded quake. the mod then became a stand alone game in itself.

[Critters]

im not sure.. o.0

just export the model you have open in milkshape into .3ds or something, i really doubt it will have animations.. im not..too sure at all.

anyway, here is some samples of my past 3d work:
