Welcome to the forums mate!

Cool stuff you've done so far, love your designs and animations.
I am not really good with coding and tbh I don't have time to help anybody out because I am busy with my own mod but I simply wanted to give a warm welcome to a new modder!

If you like give me a PM and I'll invite you to the modder's skype chat, it's very useful if you need help or want to share your ideas and thoughts.

I am very impressed by your animations, I've been animating stuff as well for my bioships to make them look alive, if you've got any spare time I might actually need some help with an animation I wanted to do for weeks now but it's so hard.

Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to see those ships of yours ingame!

Such a stupid thing to quote myself, oh well

Hi, well I have to say I thought to ask you directly before, given your liking for animated stuff. But you wrote somewhere that your are not comfortable with code so I didn't wanted to distract your from your script heavy mod. If you have some straight tentacle ready, I can give it a try, since I'd like to take a break from my stuff and I don't have any work today.

You are an amazing artist. I hope someone will help you out, because I'd like to see your fine ships out there. :)
Unfortunately I can't help you either, but for the reason that I wouldn't be able to java my way out of a paper bag.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, where did this come from? Absolutely amazing. I'm going to have some more valuable feedback later on, I except, but so far I'm really impressed. As far as I know, nobody's taken quite this effort to immerse the audience from the get-go before.

 :D Thanks everyone for the positive replies. I know I went for the overkill lore-wise, but that's the part I prefer by far. And for once It will be something that other people could enjoy too, instead of taking virtual dust in my hard drive.
First, I'll try to get a precise idea of what need to be done in the coding side, and what I can take care of, before starting PMing for help.

Bonus track: some other animations, but with older sprites.

Amazing work! I really like the animations and the well-defined and detailed ship sprites.

Looks incredible! :)

I am too really happy to see someone go overboard on the lore aspect (and especially the presentation of the lore) - and then to do so without even having a playable mod!

... and the animation teaser so far looks fantastic - could really take your sprites from great (which they are) to something else indeed.

Good luck and godspeed! Can't wait to play with them!

Well since I went for the whole Ancient Greece/Sparta resurrection, I thought an Owl would be a good emblem: Athens symbol, a bird of prey that also symbolize knowledge and wisdom... A stealthy hunter that strike in the dark! Quite fitting both the Scy social and military philosophy.

The animations are amazing. Do you have them broken up into layers so you can easily turn them into decorative weapons for implementation? Animating the entire ship sprite will probably be fairly effective for some things, but when you have glowy elements like electric arcs, they should probably be implemented on a separate deco weapon with additive blending set.

Dat lore tho.

But seriously, you have an *amazing* mod here, and I think I can say that it far outclasses the lore of any mod on the forum right now. It also has some beastly animations, all of which are incredibly cool! Man, I am humbled by your presence!
