Continuum: Next Level

[Ewan]

I was having a little poke-around ssforum.net and I came across a forum relating to "Continuum: Next Level".

I'm not sure how many of you have heard of this but to put it simple, it's 3D subspace. I managed to find a link to the CNL Website and had a little look around.

From what I can see the project has been around for a few years and has recently been "revived". From the site I downloaded the 0.8 BETA version (You can host your own game, so you can play around).

It's very buggy but gives you a basic idea of what it is going to be like.

I took a screenshot of the in-game graphics (sorry about the size):


Discuss.

PS - DaiShiva, this may interest you as you were after the 3D models this game uses.

I played it a couple of months ago, and I think it sucks. Somehow subspace feels better in 2d than 3d.

Do you know how bad a 3d subspace would be? Subspace is good because it's on a 2d plane, making it 3 demensional would change the game dynamic completely. Subspace in 3d wouldn't be subspace.

good idea, take away the only reason people play this game over RETAIL 3D spaceship game equivalents

that project needs to go back to its rightful grave

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Also, with 3d hows this gonna work, you can go forwards, backwards, left and right but not up and down so how do people intend to dodge upwards etc?

[arwen_7]

keep it simple! thats why poeple play 3-d subspace would just be strange

My computer wouldnt be able to handle that :P jk jk

If I want 3D spaceship action, I'll stick to Descent.

[DaiShiva]

Just gota figure out how to get those models =)

I played that a few months back it was boring and crashed every 5 mins. From what I've heard over at SSforums and from people I've talked to the project didn't get off the ground because a few people broke off from dev team and tried to create their own 3d continuum, I think one of them was a radio host and actually asked DoCk> to replace TW with this. I can't believe people would consider replacing continuum with it or waste their time on it, sry if I offend anyone but it looked like total crap.

[Krazie _ Killer]

Me neither, thats terrible -

[Swift]

In my opinion I would play it. Only reason, greens would be awesome some swift fuckin' moves could be played out up down/left/right... that'd be some badass shit just imagine a portal lay one down and then bam kilem from behind.. itd rock

wulfram was a damn good game, but it was a 2d style game in 3d... as in you could only move left right up down... i think that would suck ass bigtime..

with subspace now you can see EVERYTHING with 1 quick pass over.. this COULD suck.

Naw, this would be badass, its 2D continuum + the game crashing every 5 seconds - the fun = TOTAL BADASSNESS!! OMGF
