PRE RELEASE Build 19 is here

Projects: Art (2)
Cortex Command (143)
General DRL (10)

Posted by Data in Cortex Command - December 8th, 2007

After doing a first test of the payment system yesterday, rumors leaked out and I don’t think we can hold back the pre-release of the game any longer. So, here it is, for anyone to try. I want to emphasize that it is a pre-release of what we intended to be the commercial version! Next week we’ll try to have a more polished one up and call it the real deal.

Without further ado, the rightmost button below leads to the purchasing page for buying licenses. Since we ironed out the bugs yesterday, things should work smoothly. If there is any trouble though, don’t hesitate to contact us at support@datarealms.com!

Data this is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played, And I’m posting this from another computer but as soon as I can I’m going to buy 3. No joke.

I can’t wait to try this, keepup the great work!
TrouserDemon - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I wish I could afford this, so much…
Nogfish - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
Does the buyable version work on Macs?
Dirk - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:14 pm
I’m a bit confused. The lesser version lets you get all of the versions released up to AND INCLUDING the full release?

And what about the more expensive version? Does that get you the stuff released after the first full release?
AGENT15 - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
Thank you, Data.

I was angry before because I thought you were releasing this build to a few people, then making the rest of us wait until next weekend.

My apologies.
Raintail99 - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
MUST…..BUY…..NOAW!
Seriously, I am sooooooooo buying this when i can.
Foogooman - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Wow, awesome! The new intro blew me away! The gameplay is like OMG! Anyways, I bought it but I haven’t received a key yet, how long does it usually take? It said it may take up to 24 hours…
Pelle - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:23 pm
Nice news! In preparation for the final release I hope you’ll make a digg.com-submission for us to show our support and share the wonderful news with the world
Data - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
fooogoo: send me an email to support@datarealms.com if it hasn’t dropped soon. Also, you should have seen the key on the last confirmmation page??

Also, if someone wants to make a digg submission, go ahead.
Kokits - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:31 pm
There was a conformation key the final page? I didn’t see it. Oops.

I guess I’ll email in… unles the key will be sent through the e-mail.

Data?
Kokits - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Oh! Sorry!

I just got it via e-mail!

Can’t wait Data!

A jorb well done!
Foogooman - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
Alright, I got my key. There was a little bit of an E-mail conflict and I was like “WTF” but it’s okay now.
GABE NEWELL - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:36 pm
This is a excellent piece of work from what I’ve seen. Been following this around for quite a bit.

Although from what I’ve seen, the harsh demo restrictions might keep this game from getting more publicity. Maybe remove the time limit in the game, or allow it to load mods.
Dualies - # December 8th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
I LOVE YOU DATA!!!

Good, i got so excited i screamed like a girl xD

I seriously think you should forward this more and even sell it in stores !!!

oh god i love you

I’m guessing that there is no level after but I saw people on the forum talking about coalition and crap and made me wonder if I missed a level.

All in all, greeeeeeeaaaaaaat game!!!

Best 38 dollars I ever spent!

What’s the difference between the “Normal” version and the “Support Data” version? Other than the price, of course.

Nice! The pricing seems pretty good to me. I love that feeling when you see a new download button on the dev log. Now to find some cash…
KamikazeDuck - # December 8th, 2007 at 5:08 pm
Turkey, I think the support Data one is the same. It’s just an option so you can give Data more money to support him (as the name suggests).
KeroroCanti - # December 8th, 2007 at 5:26 pm
This is great! I’m going to get the more expensive version for Christmas! And what happened to the green and blue clones? I miss them… Are they in the pay versions? And also, I love the new intro! It’s awesome…

That’s amazing. You’ll get my purchase as soon as I am able to provide it. If we weren’t in such an economic slump I’d buy the support version.
Predator King (GMI) - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:19 pm
Sorry for the double post, but, I miss the days when my green clones didn’t look like they had their asses on their face
What - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
FUCK YES.
Cleebus - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Man, the price is a bit steep for a game that’s this incomplete (even if it means we get all the updates). I was expecting something more like 10 dorras. Fortunately for me, I have some money lying around on paypal from drawing commissioned art for furries. (don’t ask)

Can’t imagine I’d buy the game at the full price though, if this is the steeply discounted price. even 18.00 can buy me some very good big title games. But I won’t have to. Because I just bought it.

a 5 minute time limit on the demo is pretty lame, I must say. The new actors are sweet, but the four legged ones like the dreadnought or crab don’t handle terrain very well. I still lol’d at the dreadnoughts. Their legs are comically tiny. The tutorial is pretty cool, and I appreciate the new crouching and prone abilities of the actors. The new actors seem to have significantly improved capabilities over the old ones, but I do wish the green clone was around, only cheaper. the new actor select is very handy too. The level editor is pretty sweet.

I don’t understand the actor editor though.

I still wish there was an actors section in the bunker building menu, which contained all the actors available, like there is in the buy menu.
Silverfish - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:31 pm
There is no green clone~
Erk - # December 8th, 2007 at 6:44 pm

Because if so, I would gladly accept a key because my parents won’t let me buy anything over the internet, no matter how hard I try.

PS. Nice work Data!

Neoseeker - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:21 pm
So basically the 39 dollar version is the same thing as the 18 dollar one but when the campaign comes out you don’t have to pay for it?
Chippo - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:27 pm
No…………..if you buy the normal 1 you get all future release and campaign levels but if a new campaign or expansion pack comes out you have to buy that 1……that one you said is if you want to help out with future development.
Cevius - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
OH YEAH!!!!!!!
Now to find the $22 AUD i need for it…

The more expensive version i think gives you licences to any of Datarealms future games

” This is for people who want to give extra support for further devlopment of Cortex Command and other Data Realms games by paying the full price of the game today. Your help will not be forgotten!”
TGH - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
NEOSEEKER: No. You get the full game when it comes out regardless of the one you buy. The extra 20 dollars it like a “Donate here!” button. It’s to thanks Data for the awesome work.
Jay - # December 8th, 2007 at 8:54 pm
I love it already. Only issues I’ve found so far:
GIB EDITOR:
-No MOPixel support (grenades, anyone?)
-Cannot create NewData directory that it saves to (You don’t create it first, it crashes, losing all your progress)
ACTOR EDITOR:
-Absolutely no use
GAME:
-Cannot run mods from B18 anymore
-What happened to our M key mat changing and R key resetting?

Cleebus - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:55 am
I must say, I wish that the crab actors were actually capable of handling terrain, and moving at a reasonable rate. They’re far worse than the skeletons in previous builds. Sure the Dreadnought is nigh-invincible compared to the rest of the units, but if it can’t even reach the enemy, it really has no point. A limited jetpack would help. Whenever I try to use one, it gets smashed to bits by dropship gibs falling out of the sky before it can do anything. And then any I buy after that can’t get past the dropship gibs (or even the dreadnought body, sometimes).

I appreciate that the one-key, one-install system prevents piracy, but it’s pretty lame that it means we can’t use it on multiple computers. I myself have three machines capable of running the game to at least some extent, and I have older builds of cortex command on all of them. Now I have to pick one, which means I’m not picking my laptop, which means no CC with friends.

Nice support too, guys.
KarvaBopi - # December 9th, 2007 at 5:25 am
After my post ? of course my leetness made it working
just kidding.
So i just played the tutorial map, its so fucking cool !! the new thing that you can send a unit from point A to B is kinda usefull and i love the new walking “spider” turret
http://img477.imageshack.us/img477/2079/spiderturretcm1.png
but normal walking on the ground with that turre tis kinda hard and you cant make it stay on the wall :S just walk on walls but still its cool and the new crouch and crawl too

Now i want this game even more but i cant buy it because my parents are so “afraid” of using visa or something that hackers/spy softwares would take the numbers and etc etc……………………… -.-
KarvaBopi - # December 9th, 2007 at 5:27 am
Oh and the new loading screen is nice too, everything i see in this new version is cool
And one bug i found, when you are going to place a door it operates and it destroys dirt and stuff :S

Same proplem here, they should make noncredit card payment methods, like PaybyTxM or something other. Because paypal sucks and you need credit to phonepayment tho…
PromoStarr - # December 9th, 2007 at 5:57 am
Ive played and already the 5min demo has fucked me off

So im buying it…

lol

Teh Tutorial map ownz

But i hate how you still have to make your own bunker everytime…

I hope when i buy it i can use the level editor!!

And im playing on paying through phone…hope it works
Skiv - # December 9th, 2007 at 6:01 am
Promostarr: when you own the full version, you will be able to
a) make your own maps(bunker, actor placing etc.)
b) SAVE the maps to sare, play them again etc.
c) you can place the actors even for the second team.

Steam - # December 9th, 2007 at 9:07 am
Having some problems starting the program up now for some reason. It loads the old ones up fine but with the new one it shows the desktray icon (so its there) but no window comes up! Argh! what to do. Also… when i played it seems configuration of controls shows 10/11 or 12. =]
Good game though.
Well done Data
KarvaBopi - # December 9th, 2007 at 9:24 am

eternjc - # December 9th, 2007 at 9:40 am
Data, I tried playing offline today, and my game returned back to unregistered-mode. I’ve payed for it, and registered it, but am I now going to have to get online everytime I want to play in registered-mode? Or is that just for the test build?

Hellfire999 - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:24 am
I’m kinda disappointed with the lack of content of 7 years’ work but I’m loving the AI and gibs, except the dropship gibs and other bugs. I’ll wait till the “real deal” is released to make a decision to buy it or not. Or will the discount be over by then?
Ghost Bear - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:38 am
Now Data will drink for 2-3 week on money he got and then will think about continuation of development
KarvaBopi - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:47 am
This game haves one problem, when a dropship drops from sky with high speed it usually causes lag for me because there come so much gibs :O
Kenny Compton - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:54 am
YES! Cabs are awesome, Dreadnaught uses are endlwss. Armored escorts anyone? Can’t wait til I get the full version.
Magnus - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:56 am
I’m liking the new build. The 4 legged actors are cool, but seem more like a novelty rather than a innovation. Data’s gonna have to do something to make there walking a bit better, otherwise there just gonna become useless as the blue clone, who diden’t even get a re-encarnation in this version. The absence of green clones is interesting. But I know there will be tons of mods putting him back in.
Also, am I the only person who noticed the FSM in the dirt of one of the “test” maps? Data, you are just too cool.
gismo93 - # December 9th, 2007 at 11:07 am

Matt - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Theres a big glitch with the doors. They create invisible walls and destroy lots dirt, when choosing where to place them.
JeCa - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Alright, although half of the community probably will hate me for this and the rest will try to find my home and stab me, I actually have to criticize this build. Or not really the build itself. The new actors (both dreadnought, crabs, and Heavies) and the pathfinding systems are awesome. But the demo restrictions seem a bit… harsh. I figured there’d be some restriction to the skirmish mode, but 5 mins? Seriusly, there’s no way I’d fully be able to see what this game has to offer in five minutes. And there isn’t even a part of the Scene editor in there. We’ve got the tutorial version of the campaign, but I doubt there’ll be much more. Now sure, gameplay’s always been limited this far. But completely preventing the game from loading any mods at all completely destroyed the one element that kept me with you from Build 2!

Yes I know it’s only a pre-release and I don’t know how upcoming versions will be, but as it is now I don’t think you’ll get very many people buying the game except for those who’s played and modded the earlier versions.

Sorry.
TheWolf - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
Whats up with new icon? It looks like mushroom… But thank you data!!!
Grif - # December 9th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
Jeca:
The skirmish time limit is going to be increased for the full B19 release.
JeCa - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
@Grif: Yea, saw that just after I posted. Still I really hope there’ll be more things to do in later demo versions. Cause as it is now I’ll probably stick to B17.

Also, with the one key per game system, is there any way to transfer Key’s from Comp to comp if you get a new one or if the old one crash?
Hiro - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:18 pm
So Data, any word on when this game will be bestowed upon mac users?
Wckdneer - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
I could do the bank payment, but then ill end up with useless money on my paypal D:
i hope i can pay by monday, and if i wont be able to pay when its released then ill have to use bank transaction sadly.
Im installing the test version right now! (got me handy xbox360 controller right here for best playing experience!)
Rag - # December 9th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Well, I’m almost out of air now I’ve cackled maniacally for the last hour or so, thanks guys!
Sjupp - # December 9th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
Well, it was not until recently I discovered this game but I am extremely excited to see how this has turned out(and what it could be)
One thing nobody has mentioned is the controller compatability
and how extremely smooth it works with the game. I prefer the standard xbox 360 wired controller (thats the one ive tested) over the mouse+keyboard control.
So a question/suggestion to Data: Have you ever considered trying to get this to the Xbox Live Arcade? If not. you should really try it. I think it would be a success.
hmmdeblah - # December 9th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
£9.21 for an unfinished game??? And that’s the DISCOUNTED price??? Garry’s Mod is half that and he works his arse off keeping it up to date and the content fresh, I was all for Cortex Command but this is daylight robbery.
demoneyes - # December 9th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
well by paying this price….u can get all the updates up to the ultimate final release of cortex command i think…

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD
Cleebus - # December 9th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
To be fair, paying that price, you get all the updates of garrysmod up until he gives up or dies.

I think that might be the next independent game I buy. I’ve still got $25 USD on my paypal. I didn’t know you could use it on Steam. Never tried.

If anyone could be generous and get me a key, i would be extremely grateful, because my parents will buy nothing over the internet.

Why do these tight fisted moronic scrooges judge the price of games according to the price of Garry’s mod?

GARRY’S MOD IS NOT THE FACTOR THAT DETERMINES THE PRICE OF GAMES.
So quit whining about a $20 game. IT’S $20! MY LITTLE SIX YEAR OLD BROTHER HAS FOUR TIMES THAT MUCH!

mac version news plz data?

Cevius - # December 9th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
HAHA! Awesome fun: Fill a dropship with as many free crabs as you can bother clicking on.

When the dropship has appeared, Scuttle it quickly for a crab based explosion of epic proportions!

SO MANY CRABS

Hell, im getting hours of entertainment outta the demo alone! Once i buy my key, ill be unstopable!!!
Munchkin9 - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
I love the game in every way. The new robots are great and everything is so much smoother (that might be just me), and the beginning cinematic is just…wow.

But why no mods? or did I miss something?
Sixteen - # December 9th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
No mods because you didn’t buy
And he changed instance names, so old mods don’t work.

Oh um… How about WebMoney or something like that?

(that will be my first game, that I want to BUY, not to crack…)
Turkey - # December 9th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Guys, you can pay for CC over mail with a money order. It’s a bit more expensive (postage and money order fee), but its still feasible and shouldn’t be overly difficult. So stop begging for keys, Okay? Before you know it, half the comments here will go “N3eD KEe PL0x?! 1 VV1Ll dY3 w/0uT k3y!”
XAKEPART - # December 9th, 2007 at 11:21 pm
Woah… =) I don’t need a key. I want to BUY this game, and after that – GET IT! =^___^= Just don’t know how to buy it… And… I don’t have money for now. LOL

Anyway… “N3eD KEe PL0x?! 1 VV1Ll dY3 w/0uT k3y!” – sad truth, but not for me.
Skiv - # December 10th, 2007 at 2:15 am
Turkey: same thing i thought It was more expensive to buy the game when you live in Europe (+ 2-3 more) but its worth it.

Data, if this was like 10 dollars I’d be able to pay. But I think I’ll have to use a crack, because 20 dollars is absurd! I really support your work, but this is ridiculous. Sorry, Data, but I’ll have to use a keygen or crack. $20 is the DISCOUNT, imagine what the full price is.
L7D - # December 10th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
Data:

door glitch

I don’t know if this was mentioned or if you know (you probably do) the doors’ movement clears away the dirt so it can open and close and avoid obstruction, but before it is placed, the door animation is previewed and that clears away a path. essentially that can be exploited to dig an underground catacomb or base without the use of lots of time from manually digging.

hopefully that will be fixed. i know it can be because you fixed the glitch where if you moved the characters upon placement really fast that they would shatter or lose their limbs. that was actually fun to do for a while on purpose.

i love the soundtrack! and the art. can’t wait for full release, already bought the key
L7D - # December 10th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
ah yes, Matt had already described the glitch in a very short and elaborate manner. invisible walls and clearing dirt.

can you rotate item placement? I dunno how if there is… there should be a function to flip objects and whatnot.

And I would prefer not having to buy two… Would there be some way if i told you the IP address for both computers? and make it only work with those? Thanks.

P.S. Anyone with more than one key, if i could have one that would be fantastic. I would do/get something for you in the future. (maybe an expansion pack?)

Cleebus - # December 11th, 2007 at 12:21 am
I tried out the AI today on an underground bunker. It is better than it used to be, in that they’ll actually TRY to break into a sealed bunker. Problem is, they’re still incredibly bad at it. They kill each other when entering the bunker, sealing it again with their corpses. This, in effect, probably makes death mode more difficult than normal or easy. they maul each other with their diggers.

Gold dig AI mode is broken; almost never will it do anything but point the digger straight up and wave it about uselessly. Sentry mode is the same, but now, for some reason, switching bodies often causes the actors to fall on their butts.

Also: dropships are the deadliest thing in the game. To anyone. if the dropship dies upside down, it sends it’s doors flying with a vengance. The gibs are deadlier than the spinning, out of control dropship bodies ever were.

It’s a nice touch that shooting the engines sometimes causes the engine to fly off into space, leaving the dropship an engine short. Rockets don’t gib.

Crouching is useful and works pretty well, but it does damage and kill actors more often than it probably should.

I can’t wait for the actual release. If the tutorial mission is any indicator, the real levels are going to rock.

@CLEEBUS

That’s a know problem with the new AI they dig into the air then turn around killing other clones.

Dropships kill themselves on landing too they act like giant frag grenades when all the debris parts fly off.

Should the gold dig mode already work or is it still under development?

yeah, the gold dig AI mode is pretty silly right now. He dug a hole straight through the bunker, almost taking the brain out with it.

AI is a lot better, but they do end up killing each other a lot. i was constantly sending waves of drop ships with guys. then my demo time ran out

Elite Ormen - # December 11th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
Please i beg you!
make a Demo version of Build 19 where we can play the game for more than 5 min.
PLEASE!
gexecuter - # December 11th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
“Please i beg you!
make a Demo version of Build 19 where we can play the game for more than 5 min.
PLEASE!”

they really need to make this happen,remember a demo is supposed to sell a game,with the time limit on is hard to get enjoyment of the skirmish mode because when the fighting gets good the demo ends.

another thing in skirmish mode there is no opposite enemy brain,therefore finishing an actual game is impossible unless you get your own brain destroyed or the time limit runs out, data realms should place a random enemy brain bunker so that skirmish have a sense of objective rather that just plain goofing around.

PS:thx to the people who visited my blog

Great game Data. Played since around build 11 or 12, so I guess I jumped on late. Nonetheless, it’s been great to see this evolve into something as good as this – it really felt like a commercial product this time. The only gripe I have is that five minute limit – I know, I shoujld buy the game, but I’m rather broke and my parents think that the entirety of the internet is out to steal their identity.

The AI needs polish, no doubt. We will be working on it throughout the making of the rest of the campaign.

@Hellfire999: Data has stated that the /only/ difference between them is the price; it’s called “support Data” because you’re paying $20 more as a donation. You miss nothing by buying the $18 copy.

wer wohl(f) - # December 13th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
I can see how this game is becoming better and better. I’d like to suggest some little “improvements”:

1. Steadily increasing Gold: Now what I personally would like to see the most in some future release, would be the possibility not only to set the starting amount of gold, but to set a steady gold flow (like 5 gold per second) which every player would get, even without mining (or maybe some destroyable oil rig with such feature). Well maybe it’s just because of the current AI but ATM the whole digging part is forcing you out of action, and setting the starting amount of gold very high just isn’t the same. Of course I mean to ADD this to the mining, not to replace the mining.

2. Preplaced Bunkers: I’d also like to see an option during the bunker placement to use preset bunkers (set by the map designer), like it used to be in older releases.

3. Quick Weapon Switch: Since the new Pie Menu, you have to reenter the menu everytime you want to switch to the next/previous weapon. I’d recommand: while holding the menu button, you could switch weapons with previous/next actor buttons without the menu closing. Also it should read whitch weapon is currently selected.

I hope these suggestions help you somehow.
Robber - # December 13th, 2007 at 2:03 pm
@DATA: Ok, thanks for your help. But Vista made a copy of the whole CC folder 12 hours ago and I could restore it.

@WER WOHL(F): 2. You can use the scene editor
3.You can press right and still hold the inventar key and fire and it will switch the weapon. So you dont have to reopen the pie menu.

Novodantis - # December 15th, 2007 at 4:53 am
The price is very reasonable, I’ve been enjoying this already for many more hours than most £35 games, so I had no qualms in buying. Besides, I spent about twice as much just going out last night; it’s hardly a crippling blow! Plus I like to see someone other than EA get a little money for a change, haha.

As for the content, looking forward to seeing more. You guys have worked hard and it’s changed a lot since the quite-recent build 13-14 I first found it on. Although the new AI aren’t geniuses, it’s all a long way from skeletons piling on top of each other and tunneling with their spasming walks.

I was wondering, though; will next week’s release be a stand-alone installer, a patch or what? How will this work with regards to registration keys?
Cheers guys, y’all deserve a pint.
Alty - # December 15th, 2007 at 7:29 am
Haha, all the russian activity in here is amuzing to read when you know russian language yourself. : p

Btw, the current build is hot but seems to crash at times and high speed TDExplosives usually dissappear when they hit something instead of gibbing/exploding.

And this goes for Actors that you control that get hit by a heavy object like a dropship gib. They just dissappear from all of sudden instead of gibbing.

AND WE STILL NEED A PROPER CROSSHAIR!

Since the glowing 3 dots are hard to see if you aim with a long range sniper rifle that has sharplenght value over 300.

Long live DRL!

Mooseral - # December 16th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
So, only one copy of the game can be registered per key, at a time?

This is somewhat irksome; one way which I play cortex command is that I install it on a flashdrive as well as my computer, so that I may play while travelling, or at school during breaks.

Of course, with single copy registering, this does not work so well. I suppose that one could buy two copies, but considering that it will be a forty dollar program, this is pretty much unfeasible after it’s completion.

So, just a note out of curiosity, will the system become any more flexible? It may even help to simply up the number of copies that can be registered to one key. Again as I said earlier, one thing I have valued about CC is it’s flexibility, and it seems like a ludicrous thing to take away with pirate protection.

Also, because people who pirate CC would not have such a limitation, it might even encourage pirating. Multiple copy registration with a limit would not mean that you would sell one copy to three people either; One, this would require a large amount of organization to team three people to a copy, and two, once someone has bought a game, they generally do not want to share somthing as important as it’s limited key with anyone.

People are also generally less likely to spend money on a 40$ 2d game with that large a limitation, from what I can see.
Data - # December 17th, 2007 at 12:26 am
Moosereal: Good news! The next build will make it very easy to have a copy on a flash drive that you can move from computer to computer, and still use your one own key to play registered anywhere you want.
Durza - # December 17th, 2007 at 5:36 am
Yay! Now I can play on my computer, which isn’t connected to the intarweb!

FinDude - # December 17th, 2007 at 6:44 am
Great release, tho the 5 min time limit, looping sounds and _lack_ of some AI makes it definetly pre-release.
Just hope you wont use this pre-release as a sneaky way to take off the discount.

Are we really gonna have dummies dropped in crates? Jay!

Robber - # December 17th, 2007 at 8:15 am
@361: Do we still have to unregister the key then?
Data - # December 17th, 2007 at 9:02 am
Robber: yes, but it’ll be a single quick and easy click of a shortcut. No need to start the game, and no need to enter your same key every time. Just remember to click the ‘register’ and ‘unregister’ shortcuts before and after you play on a new machine.
FinDude - # December 17th, 2007 at 9:30 am
Data, is the _next_ version going to have dummy rockets, or those small turrets?

Crates perhaps?

Againg; Jumper, WTF!

In CC, are there other langueges… like german, french, or others???
Dodomaster - # December 17th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
Ah they have changed the buttons for buying, unfortunately I wont be clicking them as I already bought it.
However this probably means the new release is imminent.

Oh god, those new buttons made me think there was a new release.

My anticipation is palpable. Keep up the great work, Data!

Could you plz make a free release, like, an earlier version?

If not, then im gonna keep my free version until it (if ever) gets on the shelves.

I asked DATA if there was any news on the mac version. You are not Data.

So ya any news?
Cighton - # December 17th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Wow, thats all I have to say. Oh, and hello to all because im new to the forums. I played the game from Cortex Command Build 11. Im having lots of fun with the demo and will buy Cortex Command this Christmas! Good Job, DR!
Yerok - # December 17th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
@Foogooman and Omnimmotus:

Exact same thing here…
theannoyed1 - # December 17th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
Hey look, Data’s not ignoring the devlog now! Horray!
Data is ignoring your mac question, possibly because he also relieses MACS ARE JUNK
they’re overpriced, and unupgradable
even their attack adds make them look like the under acheiving younger brother who always needs to borrow money

@SgtLion 372- this thing will never hit the shelves
maybe later DR projects will, if any (which there should be cuz DR owns)

@XDevil- I dont think Data speaks french german russian etc
all he speaks are English (destroyed american style (where are the Us in the US..thats not how you spell colour! …))
and code (Correct me if im wrong)

yo eragon here if u dont need one fine but hey i gotta ask: i wanna be a beta tester i am a really good gamer and i love this game but i cant buy this game because i am poor from christmas and well other problems….. BUT NVM! i will be proud to do it but u may not need me…
Data - # December 17th, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Mac port is still planned, but hasn’t been started yet.
Hiro - # December 17th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
As usual theannoyed1, you regurgitate out the same stereotypes about macs any ignorant dunktard such as yourself thinks are gospel truth.
Overpriced? The mac I’m on now is $500. Yes, that’s overpriced for jobless penniless losers like you I guess.
Not only did you look like a moron before trying to bash macs, but you also look even stupider saying that Data was ignoring me, only to have him respond two posts later. (And yes, their ads are GAY, but that has nothing to do with the computers now does it, smart one?)

And to I eat Stuff:
I tried an emulator, Cortex Command ran at less than 1 frame per second. Can you recommend a better emulator than Virtual PC?

Data:
Any general date on when you’re starting to port it? Because I really need a GAME.
I eat Stuff - # December 17th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
What kind of processor, video card, and memory do you have, and what emulator? Personally, I don’t think (not that i know much about macs and correct me if I’m wrong) are very good for gaming in general. I’ve never seen any very sucsessful fps, rts,…(shooting/action games) games for macs. I use Linux and PC so don’t say I’m sticking up for Microsoft (those bastards). PC has long since been good for games.

Question/sugestion for Data: Is there going to be some online multiplayer(ever)? That would be perfect for this.

theannoyed1: STFU, who cares if you hate macs, I hate both of them for reasons that I know.
I eat Stuff - # December 17th, 2007 at 7:51 pm

Alty - # December 17th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Data, this registration shortcut app, could you make it have an automatic feature so that It would autoreg when you start the game? I might sometimes forget to unregister and then be there like that. ”awshit, now what?”

Neoseeker:
1.42 GHZ and 512 megs of ram
And this is the cheapest first version of the mac mini. If you are super-rich mega bajillionaire you can buy the SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with 1GB of memory. But of course most people can’t afford a computer that costs that much, right?

You should really stop complaining and it’s true Macs are overpriced, I paid a bit more than that and I got a computer about 6 times more powerful.

Yes it is, and it’s also 50% better, but unfortunately it costs a WHOLE $100 more which apparently nobody can afford these days. What’s your point?

anoPone - # December 18th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Hello everyone!
Thank You immensely for this gorgeous game..
( even though I do so in a awfully flawed grammar, coused by my sheer lack of “english” skills.. being one lazy ass with a middle european flavour )

Yeasterday I bought a kye and I was thrilled by oportunity to do so..
Only one thing to whine about (as the – the performance..
On my oldish P4 2.8Ghz /1gb of ram, radeon 2600xt, windows XP/, in any resolution higher than 640×480 with “glare” turned on – the action on the screen turns out to be tearingly slugish.. So.. My concern is – since the game uses only the power of my powerless processor, would that be possible to enable the “hardware support” for a graphic card as well? I guess the rice in performence would be significant (not only for me, but many of CC players out there with outdated processors and somewhat decent graph. cards) – Is it possible to expect this kind of support being implemented in the outcoming builds (or rather to be stucked with 640×480 resolution or face the necessity to buy a new rig). Thank You (in advance) for Your response.

All my accessible thumbs are “up there” reaching to the sky, in support of Your noble endeavour with this fantastic game.

@Hiro: I’m not sure if there is a version of wine for mac. That is what you are going to use it for, right? Or do you have a linux partition?
I eat Stuff - # December 18th, 2007 at 6:16 pm
Hiro: I don’t know completely but there is a link that tells you post installation instructions so thats worth a read. I got the idea of Wine from a friend who said it worked good. Or do you use leopard or whatever the vista equivelent is for macs because that might not be Unix. I would think its the download at the bottom titled Crossover under Commercial Wine Versions. That looks like the version you want for macs. But I think it cost money(I hope your not a kid and if so hopefully your parents will buy it).

Yerok: It says on the homepage:
“allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.”
It says Mac OS X what do you thinks macs run… hmmm… duh!
Thats what Mac runs, Unix.
Mooseral - # December 18th, 2007 at 6:28 pm
Blagh, mac vs. pc discussion.

We had one of these a few devlogs back, I believe we determined that PCs are better value, but macs are more convenient.

Anyhow, the devlog is probably as good a place as any to put this, but I’m wondering about future changes to CC’s gameplay.

Are multiple, selectable races being implemented? I’d assume so (largely due to the intro scene showing all of the races), but we do have coalition and dummies without races as of yet… Any word on when this may show up?

It might be cool to be able to “buy contracts” at the beginning of a skirmish/level as well: As well as your race selection, it shows a list of “secondary races” which you can select and pay to use the units of. It would add an element of customization (and surprise) to the gameplay, and probably generally increase replayability.

Example: I play coalition, but I also select a contract with the Crobo corporation and Blargh Corp. Guns. I then buy some Crobos in game to support my forces, and a couple of random large guns/useful guns/heavier diggers from Blargh Corp. These units would be more expensive than the race units due to being mercenaries, but would be able to in part make up in areas in which the races lacked.

This would also be a convinient way to include mods, as if the “race” system were implemented, all mods would need to be full race mods, killing most of what is outputted by the community (while adding potential for other things, but hey, why not have the cake and eat it too?).

Anyhow, random thoughts and questions.

Max - # December 21st, 2007 at 4:20 pm
Hey, I want to address some people’s complaints.

“The time limit is too short!”–Buy the game. that also solves the lack of modding ability.

“The game costs too much!”–Get a job. It’s only twenty bucks. If you can’t get your parents to buy it for you, tough luck.

“The game is too glitchy! It sucks!”–Remember that the game is a work in progress. If you want these problems fixed, buy the game and help fund Data Realms!

“The AI is breaked!”–Yep…it may be, but as stated before, this game is still being developed. If you buy the game, Data will be able to make the game better.

Just a side note, I put a copy of CC on a flash drive and then used my key on it. This lets me bring the full version wherever. Just to let you guys know that it works.
Baii! XD

Argghh!!!!! I lent my friend my key, so he could try it, and think about buying it. I decided i wanted to play, so i called him up and asked him to unregister in half and hour. He did, and i went to play. I couldn’t register, so i called him back. Turns out he had found the loop hole that he only promised to UNregister it, nothing about not registering it again. Now he has another friend over and won’t unregister until he’s done his game of Halo 3, probably set to a 2 hour time limit or somethin’. He’s Selfish. Would i email or PM data to have him reset the key? and what would i put in the email? just the key?

@Davidos: no you don’t have to pay for each build you just have to pay for the key once. also i think these people deserve to be payed for their game plus if what i’ve heard is correct than this game has been in development for 7 YEARS which is twice as long as most commercial games development time so when you say they should work then maybe you should think of how long this game has been in the making i mean DATA is even married. so give him some slack, save up if you want it, or just ask your parents to buy it as a gift or something

o sry my english is bad . if i want the ((full games)) wich one i must take or the two give the full games ?? do the 39.86 have the full games or is it just a special thx

Full Version for 18.88 CAD
This is the normal deal which will get you all updates of Cortex Command up to and including the full campaign if and when it is completed. This option is discounted from the full final price because the whole campaign and content are currently NOT in the game yet.

Support Data Realms Edition for 39.86 CAD
This is for people who want to give extra support for further devlopment of Cortex Command and other Data Realms games by paying the full price of the game today. Your help will not be forgotten
Joel - # March 20th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Magnus,

Both options come with updates to the finished game. The first option is cheap because the game isn’t finished, so Data isn’t charging full price. The Support Data Realms Edition costs more because the extra $20 is like a tip. I hope you understand now.
