in 2003, inferno came out. it was the first big freespace mod. the gtva builds a portal to sol, and war breaks out between the earthers and the colonists. then the shivans come back, and things get even worse.
after over two decades, and a reboot in 2018, we're giving inferno a proper sequel, and we're getting ready for release.
things we have:
- 33 missions, fully voice acted by a semi-pro cast. (we've also given a refresh to the inferno 1 missions from the 2018 reboot!)
- 100+ new ships, including the earth alliance superdestroyer we all know and love.
- all-new command briefing and intel animations.
- the delightful SPELLS system for bombers, which is rather like playing Freespace as a mage using AoE spells.
- and, of, course, plenty of Shivan-blasting.
inferno 2 covers the war between the GTVA and the Earthers, as well as the first half of the third shivan incursion. (we currently also have inferno 3 in the works, covering the end of the 3rd shivan incursion, involving a superjuggernaut 11 kilometers long, but, you know, one thing at a time.)
