I paid for my league name and boost

hey dodge, Mike, you in jail?

Id like to join the beta testing at least im no coder or anything of that nature.

You need to bring JohnnyRico to play it without him there is no point of playing Infantry!

I'll be organizing something soon for a play test, anyone from the community is welcome to tag along so long as your willing to agree to an NDA. I'll try my best to see if we can't recreate a skirmish ;) a beta where you could just freely hop on is probably a ways off.

Also yes, it can be interesting balancing my time between work, life and working on the game. There are some parts of development I enjoy, other where I hate it and want to say fuck this. Honestly if it wasn't for the support I've got already, I probably would have given up.

I posted screenshots of myself hacking on infantry and will never shut the fuck on mumble no matter what squad I'm on.

I dont know how you are going to do the custom scripting we have going on here or how old infantry had as well but I can help. I am the only programmer working on this version of infantry on my free time, with jovan there as moral support lol. Anyways I have 4.5 gigs of infantry files but no way to really transfer it, like I told dodge, easiest way to get data is download the launcher, run the game and have it download whats up.

I've never squadded with manu but that made lol Mark

If you try to re-create Infantry, you could get sued.
Instead, it might be in your best interest to not use any of the same words for zones/classes/weapons. Don't call it Infantry. Its legal to make a near clone game with different words and images/(art).

Game is being built in unreal engine 4. I'll be doing something similar to what ark did, and releasing my own version of the engine you can extend off of. Basically you won't be able to touch the c++ code, but you can extend off the base c++ classes with blueprint scripts. The blueprint is very noob friendly and will allow more than just coders to make their own maps and mechanics.

I think I got most of what I need from Jovan. But, I will take anything I can get, any extras are awesome. I've been making a repository of the old files to ensure I have anything and everything I need to recreate some of the classics. If you have time to toss what you have into Google drive, Dropbox, one note, whatever works best for you, that would be awesome. I think they all allow for about 10gb for free.

Also I've looked into naming. Unless its trademarked it's not protected (ie: Mario). Infantry should be fine, again, if they sue Lattasoft they wouldn't get anything from it.

Suing a corporation that doesn't have any assets doesn't mean you're out of trouble. They can issue cease and desist letters like they did to the old fi.

I don't trust this dude already seems to be selfish and is gonna be the one that takes all the credit even though dozens will end up helping him

They sent cease and desist's to free infantry because it's a literal copy of the game. You're using their client. I've spent quite a bit of time researching the legality of this entire situation, and while it's a grey area, I'm not too concerned.

I'm sorry you feel that way Wolf. Credit will be given where credit is due. Kiel himself request for his buddies gravesite to be left in CM, and I have every intention of leaving it in there in his memory. I've been leaning lately towards making the game free to play, just because I'm not sure how well the game would do if it wasn't. I can't quite understand how you can think that's selfish. I've poured a lot of time into creating what I have so far, so in that regard yes I will be taking credit for the work I've put into the game. I can't help but feel that's fair. All I've asked from the community is support for a game that you love and want to see do well, plus, of course the maps :)

You should try to get it up on Steam greenlight soon as Valve has already said they will be replacing it with some sort of explorer system, it will be a lot harder to get the game on Steam at that point and even harder to get any exposure once/if it's added to the store.

Dude, I think you're doing a good job and took a leap towards achieving something a lot of people on here won't or can't do (except 1 or 2 ppl). Any hate is purely the trolling try hards that can't fathom a new infantry game where they are not respected by the 25 people that log on regularly. Keep doing what you're doing, stay humble, and the sky is the limit for you.

cool thing you re doin man but like chris said, pipe dream, dont spend time on these guys, false hope, i know you love inf and all, they only love this cuz its all they have, the last ones left at a dead game where they can still not get rolled. by all means do it and i will donate some to ya, but they are what they are man, they always have and always will be, you would think people would move on right, better graphics n such, nah cuz here they can win=) admirable but futile, rotten pop to bet your hand on.

this has been yrs in the hopes, pipe dream

It was a pipe dream a year ago, now it's more or less happening.

In regards to steam greenlight - actually what they're replacing it with is called steam direct. It actually makes it easier to publish games, any game who submits a fee will be getting accepted. The big talks right is how much that fee will be. My larger concern is the marketing I get from steam greenlight. Most indie devs will launch their greenlight and their kickstarter at the same time to boost their numbers on both sides. That being said, I'll be taking a week off after easter monday and I'm hoping to launch the greenlight and kickstarter at that point.

I wouldn't do greenlight, I've been through all of this.. I've done the whole making a game as well till kon and I had a falling out and quit. From launcher to gameplay is where we got with no graphics though. Anyways, with the assist of palm, we had a greenlight ready once we finished ours, after watching subspace/continnium bomb on it, I wouldn't do greenlight. They actually lost players after the first month of being on there because it wasn't the same.. went from 700 by themselves to 300 and less.

But he's starting with 0.

yeah yeah great post all
