Nice choice of a mod to spotlight. Wolfshanze is a great mod. Surprised you didn't talk a little bit more about WolfRevolution, 1.1.2 had nearly as many downloads as Wolfshanze 2.85, but hey, just glad it got a mention.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

well phungus, why dont you come onto the show next march, in season 2??

 

[Firestorm94]

Haha, Crikey
great show as usual, what else can I say?

 

[GarretSidzaka]

well thank you!! i can't wait for next season. expect the first episode in mid to late january (after polycast season 3 episode)

 

[The_Coyote]

thanks for pointing to the blender tutorial - hope it is really easy and helps

And another small side note, the black warhammer is not direct a clan skin, more or less it shall be the warhammer from natasha kerensky (Wolfs Dragoon - Black Widow company - but they are warden clan warriors on a scout mission, so it´s not that wrong ). And the Locust is finished.

But great show as ever, even i understood only half of the things said (also as ever)

 

[GarretSidzaka]

LOL im glad you like it (at least the parts you can understand )

 

[Wolfshanze]

Personally, I think it was the best Modcast ever... where do you find such exciting guests? That was a great idea to have me broadcast from inside a giant empty grain silo.

LMAO!!!!

Great episode!

I hope a lot of other modders are listening to these Modcasts, because they're a great resource to have in our community. I've come across a number of good tips by listening.

I'm almost tempted to give animation with blender a try now...

 

[GarretSidzaka]

Good Deal1!!

help us by promoting us to your modder friends to try us out! (unless of course they are already in the know )

Hey Tony,

Do you have some way to find out if Firaxis is coming out with a moddable PC game in the near future? I bet Ken knows. See if you can put the squeeze on him for at least that much. I would hate to find myself in the early stages of a Col mod when the next big thing arrives.

I know it's a bit after the fact, but thanks again for the kind words.

And thanks for the mention of the Fictionalization mod!

you might have heard that ken doesn't work for them anymore. and also ken could be sued if he told me any secrets, so its not bloodly likely that i will find out much sooner than you. i might know a week in advance or two, but even then im not allowed to tell (i want to make sure im nice boy with the corporation)

but we can only hope that they release a nice moddable game. and if civ5 comes out and is not moddable, i hope they know that they will be commining finiancial Sepeku!
