System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition - Community Contributor Test Signup!

[679e6cf75259eeldrone]

Hi!

Eldrone / Jonatan here, Art Director at Nightdive Studios!



A closed test for community contributors will be coming up at some point, so if you're one of the people who had their work listed in the other EE thread at (https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=11449) then you're one of the chosen for this test!

Contact me in a private message and I'll give more information on requirements related to NDA and such.

If you're not one of the people listed but still feel like you've made considerable contributions or have strong experience in the technical side of dark engine and systemshock 2, feel free to contact me as well.

Also: if you know anyone who might not be aware of this, please let them know!

And don't worry about missing out, there'll be time for everyone involved getting set up before it starts.




We're very much looking forward to the feedback and input on this project, and to really make sure mods work properly!

// We here at Nightdive Studios / Atari, and the whole SS2EE team!

Thanks everyone for reaching out, I will get back to you shortly!

eldronewith SS2 being ported to KEX, does that mean meshes like first person viewmodels can have bones and animation systems? thx.

I'm not a seasoned modder or anything, but if all the 3d assets were easily convertible to something Blender in .fbx format it would be awesome. the original gold source games are great in that regard.

Will it work with ShockED / come with a ShockED equivalent level editor?

[679e6cf752cc8ZylonBane]

It's already been stated that there will be no ShockEdEE.

[679e6cf752dc8eldrone]

Yes to new exporters for both obj and mesh, and no custom shockEd but ShockEd made things will still work in ss2ee

[679e6cf752f11voodoo47]

that actually is a good thing, probably - zero chance two editors would be 100% compatible.

Is there an ETA for release yet?

And also, I am curious as to why there is a GOG page but not a Steam one.

[679e6cf75323dvoodoo47]

no eta ever afaik, but I'll quote myself - once this closed beta starts, a release 6 months later isn't impossible.

but you know, what do I know.

[679e6cf7534b1sarge945]

it'll be finished the same time as System Shock EE is fixed after years of being broken, which will also be the same time hell freezes over, Disney releases a competent Star Wars movie, and EA values customers over profits.

Have the NDA's been sent out yet? I haven't received anything
