I love LOTR, Dr who, Harry potter, Star wars, Stargate... the list goes on and on I'm a bit of a mapper but I am mainly a modeler and Designer. If there are things I don't know I learn them. I love learning new interesting stuff. I love wolves and I think that sanity is completely overrated. Oh and I love to have a good laugh Also please guys, since most of my work is either 3D models, written planning and written novelizations, comments and feedback are extremely welcome and openly encouraged. Any comments are good and as long as you keep the language mild and within reason, feel free to give feedback on any of my work, particularly the novelizations. So please comment and enjoy your stay!

The title says it all…
I just discovered the features button and realized that the stuff that I have been posting on my blog about the Rift Mod… well it probaly should have been a feature in the features section of my profile/page.
So… I'm gonna move it all to the features section and keep using this blogging section like it should be used… to post my annoying, useless, confusing, insane ramblings and rages!
I will still be posting updates on the mod here on my blog… but the Story itself will be in the features section and all updates to it will just be edits to it.

Also Just letting the extremely small amount of you guys who are looking forward to this mod being released, the mod is actualy getting it's own page now, as we now have enough model renders to post the page!
However the leader of SageModers: 'Jagreaper' currently has issues with his computer, the main one being the fact that it just happens to be dead.

So hold on tight for a few more days or a week or so untill Jagreaper's computer can be resurected and then the Mods page will be created! *que evil laugh*
Anyway, till later

The Rift: Campain Story

Winter-Wolf Blog

Prologue:

Now let me set the scene: when all the factions and the planets appeared in the rift galaxy, by a stroke of luck the majority of the planets were occupied by the republic, therefore only hours after appearing in the rift galaxy the enraged empire launched a massive assault to "re-claim" the planets that the empire believed should be under their rule, starting with the galactic capital: Coruscant.
However the republic was able to hold off the imperials until reinforcements came and the imperial forces orbiting the planet were defeated. However before that happened the imperials landed thousands of ground troops and many Jedi and republic troops were killed, Including Anakin Skywalker. Many buildings including the senate were destroyed by imperial bombing runs and turbolaser strikes. This inadvertently killed the supreme chancelor and all the senators except bail organa and a few others. Eventually the republic was able to hold coruscant. Then striking quickly before the empire had a chance to regroup, the republic forced back the empire into the northeastern and north parts of the galaxy. They also regained most of the galactic shipyards. The Empire overcame this by finding and utilising the Star Forge a massive automated shipyard fed upon dark side energy, capable of producing hundreds of spacecraft a day.
But now months latter after a long and bitter war both the republic and the empire are evenly matched and have been thrust into an uneasy alliance, established in the heat of battle between only rank commanders with no permission from their higher echelons. A alliance established only to keep both sides from being annihilated by an even greater force of Necron battleships that appeared seemingly out of nowhere, threatening to destroy both sides.
Together the massed battlefleets of both the empire and the republic were able to just conquer the enemy but not without sustaining a great many losses, alongside those already suffered from before the enemy arrived. For before the enemy arrived the opposing fleets had been tearing each other apart.
But that was over.
Now there was peace.
For now.


Chapter 1: The Rule Of Two

This is part one of my short-stories based on the mod I am designing at the moment. It is based on only ONE Aspect of the multi-choice campain and will eventualy be used for the cinematic animations: The mod it self involves a giant rift in time and space that mashes hundreds of galaxies together from all over space and time, even from different dimensions. This forms the rift galaxy, named so because of the gigantic rift in the middle of it. Four main factions emerge in this disarray: The Galactic Republic and The Galactic Empire from "Star Wars" The Necrons from "Warhammer 40K" and The Flood from "Halo." The republic was taken in its golden age just after the deployment of the Grand Army of The Republic, but before the start of the clone wars. The empire similarly is taken in its golden age just before the establishment of the rebel alliance.

Latter when both fleets have gone their seperate ways and the comanders involved have debrifed their superiors, a ship silently wings it's way from the empire's secret fortress world of "Bastion" to the Republic capital: Coruscant. The ship glided through the patrols with ease but it seemed to hesitate when facing the sealed opening in the planetary shield, however after a moment it opened, it seems they were expected. It's unusual shape was hidden from vision and all but the most advanced scanners by an experimental cloaking field. The Rogue Shadow (for that was the name of the ship) headed towards the temple district of Coruscant past the burnt out remnants of the senate building and it's ruined surroundings. A trail of destruction lead to the Rouge Shadows destination: the Jedi Temple. The ruins that pass below are pockmarked with craters unique to the proton bombs used by imperial TIE bombers.
The Rouge Shadow headed towards the Eastern spire of the Jedi temple. As it approached it a landing platform slid out of hangar area allowing the rouge shadow to land. After it had landed a ramp slowly lowered down from the bely of the ship and a hooded figure emerged. He stopped a moment at the base of the ramp and looked around, observing his surroundings. Then he started towards the door leading away from the hangar to the temple proper, however he found his way blocked by a Jedi guardian- a heavily armed and armored Jedi. Another guardian emerged from the shadows behind him igniting his green lightsaber to point menacingly at the small of the figure's back. The figure fingered his own crimson bladed lightsaber before deciding against such action following the first guardian, who led him through the temple. As the figure emerged into the council chambers, the council wasn't in sesion and there were only a few Jedi masters sitting down and 4 temple guard standing around the circumference of the room. The guardians bowed to the council and left, two more temple guard entering to stand near the entrance.
The figure moved into the center of the room, ironically the same spot on which young padawans stood to be tested. The figure didn't bow to the council, but immediately began speaking. "My master wishes to offer you a proposal both generous and wise, I recommend you listen to what he has to say." His voice was fresh and young, but at the same time it was also silken and filled with evil. "We do not want to listen any proposal your false emperor has to say" Mace Windu spoke loudly the distain evident in his voice. "We were told you were here to barter on behalf of your empire not deliver a lecture from the lips of your evil emperor "But I do not come on behalf of the emperor!" said said the figure calmly, pulling his hood back to reveal his face. "I serve Darth Vader and I come on his behalf and on behalf of *his* empire" Eyebrows were raised around the room "Darth Vader's secret apprentice you are? Serve the Emperor you do not" said Master Yoda his mind as sharp and as insightful as ever. The apprentice flinched visibly, his actions speaking for him. He gulped regaining his composure ignoring the comment "My master, Darth Vader proposes an alliance: between Imperial and Republic forces, between himself and the Jedi council." At this the assembled Jedi went into a shocked silence. Obi-wan broke the silence saying: "An alliance for what purpose, exactly?" The apprentice leaned forward leering at the Jedi. "An alliance to dethrone the emperor." Mace Windu stood up and walked towards the apprentice "And why would Darth Vader wish to kill your master, boy?" "The emperor is not my master!" shouted the apprentice "I owe my alligence to Darth Vader!" his voice straining with both anger and pride "Always, betrayal there is, always treachery, the way of the sith this is." said Master Yoda quietly "Why should we help you?" mused Obi-wan as the room fell silent.
Suddenly a voice emanated from the shadows, sinister, metallic and twisted, accompanied by the sound of mechanical breathing. "Because Obi-wan, you and your republic would be utterly destroyed by your enemies without the help of the empire. But together our combined might would crush any opposition that dare oppose us." Darth Vader stepped forward as he igniged his lightsaber and pointed at the Jedi with it. The Temple Guard stepped forward to intercept and cut him down their Golden saber staffs whirling. "Wait!" Mace Windu's voice rang through the chamber, "let him speak!" The temple guard pulled back, taking up guard positions around Darth Vader. Although they didn't wish to admit it, the Jedi saw the truth in Darth Vader's words. "You know I speak the truth, Jedi." Darth Vader addressed the Jedi as if he had read their minds. "An alliance would be beneficial to both sides, The Empire and the republic are both struggling against enemies not even from our galaxy, who both have immeasurable power and ruthlessness." He paused waiting for his words to sink in and take effect. "If you decide to accept my offer, which you will, meet my fleet at the sixth planet of the system in one week, with the largest fleet and as many Jedi as you can muster. From there we will crush the Emperor," "How do we know that it's not a trap, Darth?" asked Plo Kloon Darth Vader turned towards the Jedi master and spoke "You don't"- and his image dissolved into the shape of the droid, PROXY The apprentice caught the droid as he fell then headed towards door to leave. "Boy!"- Obi-wan's voice was quiet but strong bringing the apprentice to a halt. "Do you have a name?" he said to the the back of the apprentices head. The apprentice hesitated before saying: "Galen Marek" Then he started walking away again as Obi-wan called out to him: "Galen, don't fall to the dark side." He kept walking


Chapter 3: Assault on Yinnchor

There was a slight woosh as the massive amount of energy required to power an interstellar hyperdrive was suddenly dispersed into on small area no more than a few hundred kilometers across. A few milliseconds after the energy had been dispersed there appeared, as if from nowhere, a medium sized scouting fleet of republic warships. (The thing that defined it as a scouting fleet was not the size of the fleet, nor the number of ships in it, but the type of ships, specifically for this fleet well armored and yet fast ships)
They had come out of hyperspace on the outer edge of the yinnichor system, just out of range of geosynchronous orbit around the third moon of the furthest planet
On the command bridge of "salvation" (Obi-wan Kenobi's personal procurator class star Battlecruiser and the command ship leading the scouting mission) Admiral Yularen questioned the wisdom of such a daring mission.
"You're quite sure Darth Vader won't betray us to the empire, or that he hasn't already?" spoke the admiral "This could all just be one elaborate trap and we would be walking right into it, with open arms." as he spoke gestured towards the circular holoprojector that was the main feature of the command bridge. Upon the holoprojector there floated the blue-tinged, flickering holograms of Master Windu and Master Yoda.
Yoda spoke to admiral Yularen "A trap it is not, worry about whaill come to pass not what should"
"I agree with Yoda" said Mace Windu "Vader uttered no lie"
"Strong with the dark side of the force this place is, but not that strong" said master Yoda asthenosphere hologram flickered slightly.
"I too believe that it is not a trap" spoke master Kenobi as he stood next to the grim-faced admiral Yularen "But I agree that we must be alert, Vader may have been a little 'economical with the truth'"
Admiral Yualren noticed the pause in the discussion and began to speak "well then since we all agree on the battle-plan and the Main fleet is ready to be deployed under General Windu and General Yoda, we just need to wait for the imperials and Darth Vader to arrive"
Mace Windu frowned "I don't like it, working with that Sith scum"
Obi-wan nodded "I know what you mean master, but we need the imperials in this war, the republic can't fight both the necrons and the flood off at the same time, on own own"
Mace gave a weak smile "don't forget, they need us for the exact same reasons"
I know master and that's what makes me think that this alliance might just work
"Admiral we have a large fleet of ships emerging from hyperspace!" reported a clone technician as chaos broke out on the bridge of the salvation. A clone naval officer began to talk over the PA "All units report to stations! Ready for rendezvous with imperial fleet repeat, All units report to stations...
"Very well master Kenobi, we will arrive Momentarily when you give the all clear signal. May the force be with you" spoke master Windu and a second later his and master Yoda's holograms faded into nothingness.

This Is LEGEND.. Wait For It... DARY

The Republic And The Empire, Rival Siblings or Battle Brothers

Winter-Wolf Blog

Now we all know that the empire was created from the ashen remains of the republic.
We also Know that while the empire was built on the rule of the sith, the republic was championed by the Jedi.
With these two Mortal enemies leading them was it ever possible for these two galactic powers to be allies?
It happened before in the Yuuzhan Vong War an alliance between the New republic and the imperial remnant, but by then the sith no longer controlled the empire and the new republic was a separate entity from the New Jedi order (even though they often were allied together)
But that is different from what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Grand army of the Republic led by their Jedi generals and the empire led by Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine.
Could these two put aside their differences to fight together against a common enemy? Or perhaps against two common enemies?
Id like your opinion on this one because I'm of the opinion that they could ally together but it would only take but a nudge for the whole thing to fall apart. But how would that happen? If one betrayed the other what do they do? Maybe they didn't ally at first but were slowly pushed together by the amount of losses they were sustaining?
This should be interesting...

LOTR Online goes FREE!!!

Winter-Wolf Blog

smegol is free prescious smegol is free!
turbine is making Lord of the rings online free to play!
this is great as the "pay for a month that you might not even use the pc in" feature was what stoped me from buying this otherwise fantastic game.
I hope that this includes the expantion pack "the mines of moria" as this was an equaly comended game (if not better than it's predecesor)
so this anouncement is making me a very happy person.

Smegol is happy!
frodo is happy!
sam is happy!

CNC Tiberium

Winter-Wolf Blog

I was just looking through a few old magazines from 2008 and I found myself looking at a article about the "egerly awaited" Tiberium notice the name the article said "Its only TIBERIUM not CNC tiberium. I soon was salvating over the idear of a "new" CNC FPS game untill I looked at the cover and realised the headline began with"The best ever games of 2008..." a quick google search told me that Tiberium had been cancled due to the efects of the GFC (Global Finacial Cricis) and "everything" (please just tell me What IS EVERYTHING supost to Mean?)
So there goes a realy good idear for a realy good game... (sigh)
