There a kickstarter going a new Tribes-like. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/archetypestudios/midair It looks promising. One of the main programmers and devs is Mabel who was one of the top ascend players. Its not Vapor ware either, they have a solidly playable game at the moment, it just needs some finishing touches. Heres some footgae from a few pugs they did when they launched the kickstarter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVJ6AR1vmWQ I have 0 willpower, so I gave too much money to this.

That looks surprisingly good, actually. I feel like there have already been similar attempts closer to TA's death, but this one looks a lot smoother and seems to have more momentum. I'll be watching this, thanks.

 I hope Midair really takes off. It seems like nobody wants Tribes around again. I'll buy in on it since they plan on having vehicles and screwing around in shrikes in bonesmod and vanilla was fun!

I hope this turns out well. It totally looks like they are just making a new tribes game without the franchise rights, which I am pretty okay with.

Kickstarter had reached its goal. Core of the game is solid, certainly better than Ascend when they went into Beta. I think we have a genuine shot at Tribes on our hands.

So I got drunk one night and twtich chat convinced me to open my wallet. First impressions of Midair are very positive. The jetting feels very good, its got nice and strong horizontal jetting like T1 and T2. The terrain is also really chunky instead of smooth rolling hills like Vengeance or Ascend. Its got that same sort of feel to T1 where you can catch a little nook or cranny to change directions, it also means that when just skiing around there is almost always some hill to land on. The weapons feel solid, chaingun has a nice spin up time going on, and it means people actually go for MAs instead of just doing chain spam. Horizontal jetting is also much faster than walking, so no dumb ADADADAD chain duels. Game is super solid for an alpha, fully playable. Its really just lacking some polish, UI stuff and quality of life features. Other than UI stuff and untextured maps, I'd say its in a more finished/balanced state than ascend beta. I'll probably make a new thread for it when the next beta wave starts. I will also stream it occasionally at https://www.twitch.tv/esporks

Were we supposed to get an email or something for the alpha because I never got anything. I'll have to check up on that. Good to hear it's an actual game already.

There's multiple different levels you can buy in to; instant access, alpha, beta, or full release. He probably bought into the instant access. Hyped as hell to get into the alpha when that's available.

Yea, I bought in for Instant Access. If you bought it at the $70 tier for Alpha, that hasn't started yet. There is no NDA, so if anyone has questions about the game or wants me to forward anything to devs let me know. Although there isn't much to talk about at this point.

Oh yeah i shelled out for Alpha, not instant access. Is there some variation in level design or is it just base across from base?

Base across from base. I'm not really sure what else there is really. They are focusing on CTF as the main game type and have no current plans for anything else, but they aren't ruled out either. There is a lot of variance with flag stands and terrain, but most of the flag stands are fairly open at the moment. It definitely seems like their vision of the game is the classic competitive style tribes. Cappers running ski routes, HoF, disruption. They do have naked spawning though, so you have to hit an inventory station to get your load out. This means gen play is a lot more important. Heavies are maybe a bit OP at the moment, a single heavy can do a decent job of keeping a gen down and fighting off all the naked lights trying to retake it. I guess if you are looking for indoor flags and big defensive forts, the game probably won't be that.

Jehde posted:I really hope we see a return of Team Rabbit 2 down the line. Jackpot - which is basically Team Rabbit 2 - is one of the gametypes available for the first stretch goal, which was reached. Hopefully it's the one that the backers end up voting for, given the other popular choice of Duel could be implemented very cheaply. And to echo eSporks comments, it is amazing how good the game feels despite being very unpolished. They have nailed the basic movement and have sensible concepts behind the weapon balance. ie the chaingun is powerful but there is an opportunity cost to switch to it, plus you need to get it spooled up which basically means you'll decide to go for another MA in most situations. They could probably tidy up the obvious UI glitches and add in the missing textures and the game would be almost ready for a beta of LT only gameplay. So although the alpha release is a long way away it's looking very positive so far.

Most people in the teamspeak seem to want Jackpot, hopefully that is representative of all backers. Just going to echo what tacit said. The game lacks a lot of quality of life and UI stuff at the moment. For example, your loadout doesn't save between maps, and lots of a keybinds are missing, like zoom being toggle only, no zoom while held bind. The core gameplay is solid and fully functional though. Its in a great state for an alpha. Devs seem responsive and are often hanging out in teamspeak. The devs aren't bad at their own game either. I will probably be playing it a lot this week, can't stream as much as I wanted to because my FPS takes a bit of a hit, but if anyone wanted to watch or has things they want to see, hit me up on steam and I can fire it up. http://steamcommunity.com/id/eSporks I am very happy with the current state and future of this game.

they seemed to be pretty up-front about their intentions from the beginning, and the game is probably a fair bit better off now than it was. they kind of screwed it up in the first place, though, and there was probably no way they'd get the playerbase back.

WTF scy, don't follow me here. Its kinda funny that they pretended to care about tribes again when Paladins went open beta and now we get this right when paladins goes live. I think they are just trying to avoid a bad rep.
