Comment on First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games
ysjet@lemmy.world 7 months agoYou do, in fact, actually redo character models and other stuff for a beta release. This is early alpha, they’re using placeholder models and textures, probably from previous Tribes games, nailing the core gameplay loop before working on graphics.
This is standard practice.

They also have Starseige Deadzone and Starseige Raiders (Raiders isn’t available yet, but has been playable for a while). They all share some weapons, but Tribes has been a different time period in the past, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the models change to fit Tribes better.
That said, yeah. All of it is possible to change. Graphics, particularly terrain, are pretty likely to be cleaned up. The first goal is to make it playable, then to make it as good as possible.
