Update!

100th posts on this thread.
Anyway, I would really like to say that despite has happened for the past week/s; I'm glad to say that sonofjay and a lot of our friends will be staying in the Hive.

For EchoStorm announcements. There have plenty of changes for the first upcoming map, ES_Excavation. The tileset has been customized and added plenty of futuristic doodads, hopefully, this is the last time I'm going to change the tileset, also there are plenty of gameplay changes, the hireable Jupiner Elephant has been scrapped, for I took clockwork2 advise that it would be far too awkward, the new ammo dump model by eubz for the supply points, and a lot of tweaked ability thanks to NFWar's spellpack, Valkers are capable tossing enemy like a ragdoll, except for Tier 3 special units, and Specter will be having a new Stealth Run; the ability to set explosives on target's while invisible.

I really want to get some opinion about to new look for Excavation though.

In other news, Chapter 3 for Liberation is out now! There will be still plenty of tweaking and proofreading may occur though, but please do enjoy it!

Already, planning up for Chapter 4! Also, I'm thinking of writing a Warpedia; something that tells more about the world of Juno, codex probably.

Have a nice day to everyone! ^^

The map is still on development and I already have plenty of new screenshots and took a massive change from the alpha versions that was previously released.

The story taking some tweaking but will not change the majority of the plot itself, so its safe to say you won't have to read the previous ones.

I'm planning to release some screenshots, an updated thread, a brand new line of chapter and an EchoStorm Timeline werein you could view the history of Juno, I may also throw in some codex about the world information itself, I want to release them all of them at the same time and don't worry, I think everybody's going to love the new changes for EchoStorm.

Thanks for the new comments though, really appreciated bumping the thread.

I am mainly intrested in the gameplay. I suggest you make the cog system a little more advanced as it looks too simple.

If you need beta testers, I would like to apply.

I'm proud to introduced a newly recreated EchoStorm, I have new screenshots and the entire thread has been recreated!

Although the story was tweaked but no new chapters or whatsoever, the next release would be the EchoStorm Timeline and a new chapter. Futhermore, Chapter 3 Aftermath was scrapped and was put into the deleted scenes if anyone would wish to view then but otherwise they're remove from the story as it weakens the plot with several flashback points.
Check out EchoStorm: Liberation - http://www.wattpad.com/story/1026374-echostorm-liberation

As for the map, this screenshots are currently taken from the latest creation, featuring a Promotion system for each unit as it unlocks more Action Skills and so on, Private, Corporal, and Sergeant. It also increases the max health for current units.

The specialist units like the Destroyer (Formerly Battlemaster) will be unlock through the Firebase but not by building specialization, specialist unit production will be available by unlocking Alpha and Beta components of the unit.

In other news, I've conducted several experimental signatures available for usage and are currently limited. If anyone would wish to support the project, I am happy to accept any personalized request title for the signature, right now the default title would be 'War Supporter', although this can be change if request is submitted.

Well I'd say its more like a missionized skirmish, you play it like a standard melee but taking several cosmetic changes like at the very start there would be popping text like as seen on the screenshot. Also, the maps are being carefully planned to conjoined itself as a part of the novel or simply the lore.
@sonofjay
Really appreciate you're support, I'm really enjoying making this project and believe it or not, having popularity for my project is not my major concern, rather I want it to be enjoyable for me and my friends. ^^
@H0ooDy
I really appreciate the thought, but right now I want to pioneer my terrain on this project. You could however make templates for EchoStorm that I may use for future maps, any help would be grateful! :D


More personalized signatures:

If this get released, I'll put my melee map terrains on it so I can play it there, hahaha. Well I really know that you're doing this for yourself and your friends, but a little support from the community will actually help you emotionally.

Well, this map isn't going to be protected at anyway since I've been always a victim of protected maps, trying to learn from it but never could.

Anyway, your participation and support are already helping me emotionally. ^^

I really-really appreciate everything moyackx is doing, supporting my project and showing me these new stuffs, I could really use these new things especially the terrains. ^^

In addition, I'm really glad moyackx and I were able to create a great partnership.
As part of it, PoC (Power of Corruption, a kick ass project by moyackx) is back on its feet and currently making various new map terrains. I am really glad I could lend a hand for a terrain template:

Update!

Just here to bump the thread and to drop new info and screenshots.
While, not many would really give a damn, EchoStorm: Liberation will be releasing new chapter very soon! ^^

As for new info for the game, I would like to introduce the new Savant, thanks to moyackx for showing me the source model from abriko's Starcraft Medic.

While we wanted to make a similar feel to the SC Medic, the Savant is able to heal an area of infantry and has a Neural Plague; were in a toxic cloud infects a group of enemy infantry units, dealing damage and of course it stains a bit longer. Its like an alternate skill for the healing.

Also, the camp you see on the screenshot is a stationary med camp. It's neutral until an Engineer captures it. Unlike on Command and Conquer games, you can only capture neutral-based buildings, not enemy or faction-based buildings. If you've unlock the building, your infantry units will receive bonus health regeneration for as long you own the structure.

Update!

Hello to everyone!
As I have said, I would be releasing a new chapter for EchoStorm: Liberation very soon. Well, here it is!
Chapter 4 - Tyrant
http://www.wattpad.com/8486164-echostorm-liberation-chapter-4-tyrant
Also, I'm planning to make its unit appearance for the map!

In addition, I was really brainstorming about the title 'EchoStorm' as not many would see its relevance. Introducing the EchoStorm Timeline!
http://www.wattpad.com/8486319-echostorm-liberation-echostorm-timeline-incomplete
It's a vast reference that shows chronological events on Juno. While its currently in the making, I want people to have an idea and relevance to the title and everything.

I'm already working on a Chapter 5 to be released this November.
Though, I'm not sure if I would be able to release new gameplay previews as if I'd be busy playing tons of games like Borderlands 2, XCOM and whatever games out there.

Have a nice day to everyone!
