Developer Radio Interview - Ostheer Teasers

I feel unappreciated now...overshadowed by youngsters  :'(

Great work Dragon. And haha I knew you couldn't go a whole hour without mentioning me  ;)

OMG i love "Open Your Heart". I've been listening to it since i first got Sonic Adventure on the Sega Dreamcast. Awesome that it would end up on my favorite mod.

that was an awesome interview hope to see some teasers for the ostheer soon.

Note: Coding mods in Company of Heroes boils down to spreadsheet editing. ;)

The link doesn't work ! can u please upload another :d i really need to see it ! THANK YOU ^^

Cool :) what I understood from the interview, Ostheer seems to be very likely close to the Lord Rommel's concept - switching between offensive and defensive building pools. Keep up the good work boys!

That´s exactly what i thought  ;D

As i heard the hard coding is nearly complete. Only vet system and doctrines aren´t finished yet. Hope there will be a teaser soon

Argh sadly link dosent work :-\

Yeah doesn't work for me.

Way too go guys, you used all their bandwidth.

Couldn't it be uploaded on YouTube ? I am very eager to see it !

You guys can twitt to "AdamBlue" and ask for a second upload.

edit:


"So 'bandwidth limit exceeded' at BlueGamer.net. Good and bad at the same time. Hopefully it'll be back up soon. 9 minutes ago via TweetDeck "

So true. xD
Although technically he started it ;)





Link is back up.
Downloading...

it was clear from the start that they would use LordRommels defensive offensive switch idea....

why was it clear?

Because he is developer Spike, our Ost ideas are just to provide extra ideas. (Doctrines, units, things of that variety)

Vice versa actually.

It's his idea that led him to the Dev team, not him in the dev team that led us to his ideas.

i don´t think so that this is the reason
but his concept is still one of the best for the ostheer
and his knowlege of the ww2 is gigantic^^

which could lead to the nasty coclusion that he has as much RL as i have (NONE!!!)
no i am kidding... ;)

Well. A student for history and military history should know a bit about his stuff, right ;)

Good interview Dragon!

Does anyone have a no bull answer to how far out the ost heer is from release or beta? I've heard lots from patroling the forums here and it sounds like its close but then there are those saying its a long ways out.....anyone have a no b.s. answer?

Faaarrrrr out dude! Not so far out as to not be able to see it though....I guess that makes it relatively close...

I favor the reply...WHEN ITS DONE  ;D

Like when Germany invaded Soviet Union, you got information that is comming ::)... and later they'll arrive surprising us, since we never seen it coming... at that date at least ;D.

For me Ostheer can wait :P, I'm eager to see what changes will have 1.20 besides veterancy and retreat 8).

I wrote a blog article in German with Lord Rommels concept for the Ostheer, if some other Germans are interested... Link.

I think the reward units will come in too

nazdar chlape ;)

: \
Wish there would be an update on this site.

i was just wondering about the release date as well. a guesstimate as to how long until you think it will be until we can play as ostheer would be nice. i hate to ask it but im curious.

We currently have : No Idea

Well at least he didnt say "when its done" ::)

yeah i understand "done" is a grey area and thats why i didn't say it. from what i read comming from most game developers a game is never "done". on the other hand i wish other games would have spent more time in development to polish them more *cough* buggy messes you just paid good money for that never get patched.

I think they are afraid of the reactions of the soviet release. v1.0 was far from balanced and many people turned away from the mod. These people still think the current version hasn´t  changed at all.
So devs won´t do the same mistakes again. I personally think it will be released next year.
