Well John I'm up way past my bedtime thanks to you, utterly awesome! You sir are full of win.

To CCP, give the man his Tribal Tempest.

Heard about it in corp chat and downloaded it. Watched it once and then again and yet again. It is superb. About the only minor thing is that at one point when talking money 'quid' is used instead of ISK but its a very minor point compared to the fact that the whole video IS a TV show and one that leaves you waiting in anticipation for the next episode. Can't add anything more to the accolades you've already garnered from others other than apart from a Tribal Tempest you've earned yourself a place in EVE history.

I'm still gobsmacked by all this. I'm stupendously chuffed as well. Yes, CS2 is now on the drawing board, now I know exactly what "by popular demand" means lol

I hope other video teams are looking at this now and rubbing their hands going "we can do that" or "we can do *better* than that", because I personally want to see this Machinema 2.0 revolution happen with all the crazy talented people out there

I have the original script with all its annotations pinned to my study corkboard for posterity, I'll take it down and rewrite the electronic copy ASAP so it is as word for word as I can get it, then I'll put the DOC file up on Eve files for people to do translations. It's the least I can do for such an awesome community!

I'll provide the generic template maps when I can (the website is taking longer than I thought because generating the content got sidetracked by all the ideas for pt2 busting out my head!). They are rough and ready because they were just used for filming purposes - there are "too many light styles" errors all over the place and some of them might even leak, but hey, it's a start.

Regarding the bridge design screenies I saw, here's a quick thought on it:
1) I will be re-using the sets I already have for continuity purposes
2) That bridge is a great looking early design in general though
3) It's (way) too big, too clean, and too un-lived in
4) the floor and railing textures will cause horrendous moire patterning when filmed
5) you can't have glass in the windows, it destroys the bluescreening process
6) it's also too big because I had to match the dimensions up as close as possible to the in-game Tempest to do the transition zoomer shots between EVE and HL2 (those were done frame by frame ugh)

But I do like your style, and pt2 will need a couple more sets knocking up... More news as and when, I'll be tapping up some of the offers in here for:
Set design
Model reskinning (not the main cast but the Breen character as I like his gesture set, and some of the basic human models)
Sound effects sourcing
Stunt pilots. Lots of stunt pilots

Please don't deluge me with offers just yet, the need for this stuff is several weeks away at best, but if anyone good at reskinning wants to kick off their work I'm interested in seeing samples! I reserve the right to say "no thanks" and not get flamed to death If that will upset you, don't send it

Woo, big wall of text for this time of the night , sorry

Totally. Bloody. Awesome! Great job guys! \o/

Yes there are limitations, yes it's a bit clunky in places -but that's the charm of it (reminds me in a way of the pilot episode of red dwarf).

As has already been borne witness by 99.99999% of the eve community and the absolutely mental download figures from the mirror sites -this vid is total win!

CCP give the whole team involved a budget -they deserve it, and we want more episodes!

-oh and give john rourke the tribal pest w/full officer fit

But seriously though, has anyone heard any response from CCP on this matter? This guy truly deserves something for his efforts.
