Hi there

Just  to let you guys know that the small but extremely talented team of Above and Beyond Technologies, have released a 2nd pre Alpha teaser that show cases what a talented team and a working relationship with the devs at Hero Engine can achieve with the engine.

No doubt many have yearned for an open world sandbox,with the sophistication of  SWG-PRE NGE and many other old school free form Mo's,there are to many features to mention but if  You have questions the devs are always ready to answer any question and Trixie the community manager and the dedicated forum staff are always on hand.

So check out The Repopulation safe to say this game when released will bring a tear to the eye of many an older gamer !!

    nice! cant wait til June! thanks for the heads up :)

    I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back.

    Ive been watching this one for almost a year now. It really does look the like spiritual successor to Star Wars Galaxies before the NGE. Is this a true indie project? I wonder if they take in volunteers hehe

    That is not precisely the case. Its not DF like PvP really. You could pretty easily avoid any PvP.

    No it's not ffa pvp, it's factional pvp.Members of my faction can't attack me however members of the opposing faction can.It's still forced pvp.

    So wait??????

    Is The Repopulation supposed to succeed SWG like how Dominus is supposed to succeed DAoC??????

    I guess.

    The game does sound promising but that means nothing in today's market. Even Dominus isn't going to be the level of gameplay as DAoC.

    I will keep an eye on it however.

    Man, I miss SWG as it was back in 04-05. 

    Even that EMUlator is not really coming along at any noticable rate. I hope this one delivers..........something, anything.

    I am one of the developers of Repop, and we are about as Indie as you can get. The team consists of two programmers, two artists who have been with team for years, as well as a couple of new artists who recently came on board. It also has the aforementioned Trixie (community manager/backstory), a 2d artist and a few people who have been contracted from time to time for art.

    To this point though the entire project has been funded out of our own pockets. The majority of the team takes contract work to make ends meet and moonlights on Repop.

    Hmm, ithink you would get a ton of supporters if you started a Kickstarter project. I know its kind of the in thing since schaffer started it all but it really is a good way to help fund a project like this one.

    Could really help with those pesky bills.

    Heh, you guys looking for any Writers ? 

    Lolipops !

    Anyone interested in working on the project can send an email to team@therepopulation.com with experience, etc. It should be noted, we are somewhat selective here. We've tried to keep the team size small but productive. Now that we are getting primarily into the content building phase though we beginning to add some team members. Drop us an email and we can discuss it some more.

    Very cool!  My eyes have passed over previous links to threads about this, but I'm glad I finally checked one out.  I'll keep an eye on this as it develops. 

    I've only ever HEARD about SWG pre-NGE, and at the time my time was invested elsewhere so I never played it.  If this is in that same vein, I'd be interested in trying it out.

    Keep up the great work!

    Yeah my time was invested in Eve Online(3 years) had 2 accounts and co-ran a  corp,so i missed all the SWG fun which i really regret,so i'm really stoked about this game and when JC posts in this thread it gives credance to my almost but not quite fanboi 'sh nature and support for the project image

    Just a word of advice but if you guys are looking to get a healthy return on this investment it needs to be as much like WoW as possible. WoW is the most popular MMO of all time. If you want the Repopulation to be the most popular mmo of all time then it needs to be more like WoW.

     

    Just my 2 cents

     

    Edit- Sarcasm if you couldnt tell. DO NOT MAKE THIS GAME LIKE WoW!

    Looking forward to this game being as sandboxish and unWowlike as possible.
