Since I do not know much about this upcoming release (only played the 3 levels that were released as a demo) I wonder when it will be released and what's in progress. Someone with info over here?

These things take time. There's no idea how long it could take. Don't try going on the website, it's down.

I asked Horus what was going on and he said:

Hopefully at somepoint soon we'll be able move to a new domain name, and expand/update the site then it should be back up permanently.

It reminds me Duke Nukem Forever.
In 2000 they said "yeah lol no problem it will be over soon".
In 2007, not released yet

Development stated 1999 right?

EDIT: checked, DNF has been worked on since 1997!

Yeah I remember I bought a trailer cd on a holiday, 10 years ago, DNF was on, graphics were great in that time (if that would be released now I wouldn't know if I should whether laugh or cry) and I hoped to buy myself a copy at the end of that year.

And now it's 10 years past...time flies

TFV is still in the swing of things, however we did get set back a little bit with the domain name expiring again. We've switched web-hosts since last year, and the current URL for the site is being 'held' in the old hosts name, and I cant contact him. We just need to get some shit together and register for a new domain name, and the switch will be effortless.

Of the 25 levels we've originally planned for, we've got about 23 of the colourmaps done, and probably about 15-18 of them with solid script on them. The remaining handfull are either in the process of displacement mapping, unique terrain model creation/placement, scenery and unit placement, or in the case of the last 2 maps, colourmapping.

Progress is looking good, however we've still got a massive lack in the continual flow of new unit production, which is basically what's holding things back. Alot of the levels that need scripting now, need unique monsters for those levels..... sure we can make stand-ins, but some units simply dont have sequences for the stuff we want them to do...... so the waiting game is played.

Anybody out there with any desire to see this behemoth ship sooner than later, would toss us some animated unit models

Thanks for showing the interest, it definitely keeps us (Onyx Warlords) motivated to produce good shit for you guys to play.

So, while you're waiting for us to finish, please.... Go Play Myth and Have Fun!

Happy Holidays guys.

The TFV Site has moved to a new domain and is now back-up.

http://www.onyxwarlords.com/

Great to see it back, but some pages have links to thefallensveangeance.com.

Horus · Post by **Horus** » Thu Jan 11, 2007 7:25 pm

I only see one link that still links to the old address and that's the Return to TFV Home Page link in the forums. That'll be fixed at somepoint.

I'm somewhat sorry Horus said the site's back up already, cause there's a bunch of thigns I'd like to do to it over the next couple of weeks that will really update it. For starters, make the current site merely a projects page, and put in a proper placeholder for The Onyx Warlords website.

I know there's problems with the current site. It was put up in a real big hurry. It's going to be fixed over the next little while, don't worry.

Or check out these, which I took awhile ago but haven't made it onto the site yet. They showcase seven of the post-demo levels.

On screenshot 2, there are soulless throwing spears at some warriors, and they all block

Can they block on command?
