Yeah, Kate, there's a large Wolf ET crew already in place over at Days of War .

547 backers
$31,399 pledged of $20,000 goal
12 days to go

Another video now from "Days of War", this time highlighting the "kill cam" view :

Two more videos this time. The first is a "Dev update" presentation, highlighting the abilty of being able to pick up nades and throw them. There's also a nice demo of the British Sten Gun in action :





A new video from Westi that will interest all Wolf ET players, modders and map-makers. Westi discusses player classes, the weapons they will use, adding vehicles to maps and helping the "Days of War" mapping and modding community in the creation of new custom-made content :

"Days of War" has now reached the $60.000 stretch goal, which means Soviets will now be added to the game. The kickstarter is over and we head towards the alpha testing, to take place later this month .

Here's another video from Westie, this time displaying the different weapons that we'll be able to use in combat, playing as different classes :





Here's a "sneak peek" of something lurking in the shadows...... ......... .......

CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFUL!
We are charging toward early access with a functional alpha prototype, over $100k in budget, and a whole boatload of energy thanks to all of your support and enthusiasm.

We couldn't ask for a better group of backers. We will continue to thank you throughout our development process, but at this critical juncture we want to make sure you know how grateful we are for your support. Thank you.

If you know anyone who missed the Kickstarter deadline, or can only pay by paypal, send them over to www.playdaysofwar.com All exclusive kickstarter rewards will be available there until April 8th.

After beating two stretch goals we will have both the British and Russians joining the Americans and Germans. Opening up the possibility for the eastern front and other great historical battles. Get ready for the Lee-Enfield (my personal favorite) and Mosin-Nagant rifles!

We know you are all itching to get in the game, demonstrated by the many messages in our inboxes this morning asking when keys will ship out. So here's our official announcement:

Friday, April 29th. Alpha begins!
However! A few things need to happen before that.

First, If you received an email from Kickstarter saying your card was declined, you have 7 days to try again. You will not receive any rewards if you don't pay up!

Next thing - as of now we have none of your information. We will create a survey that you will receive from Kickstarter. This survey will ask you all the information we require to give you your rewards. MAKE SURE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS CORRECT as that is the primary method for delivery and communication! This survey will go out the week of April 11th, so check your inboxes.

If you haven't made an account yet, head over to our forums. You will need to provide your forum name in the survey so we know who our backers are and which forums to give you access to.

Before gaining access, all Alpha/Beta testers will be required to agree to an Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). If you choose to violate this NDA you will be banned from Days of War. We are not joking around here. We want to ensure Days of War is as successful as possible so it will be more fun for all of us. This requires that we are able to control how and whenpeople see Days of War while it is still in development. Understand that as testers, you are a vital part of this game's development. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, and it will shape our game over the next few months.

For those of you not in the testing stages, we will continue to post Development Updates here and on the forums, so you can see the progress we are making. We also want to hear your feedback as well (preferably through the backers only section on the forum).

If you have any questions or concerns contact us here: Contact@drivenarts.com

See you in game soon.

-Lee

There's now only 4 days left to obtain the chance of becoming an "alpha-test" backer for Days of War. The "alpha" tests begin later this month.

If you're German, or some other type of sensible person who won't user credit cards either, there's now a "Paypal" option that you can use. Here's a link :

Another new video from Westi talking about everything from the "closed alpha" tests for "Days of War", which begin on Friday the 29th of this month, to the inclusion of the British "red devil" Paratroopers with their famous bren guns .

Enjoy the video :

I know this is more about mapping....but modding is something we know will happen a lad at DOW has proposed this!! I wasn't keen on it but after I saw him being attacked by idiots for even suggesting the idea i decided i wanted to help him if I could this was his original post:



I decided to start a mod that will be based in the pacific theater. I would like to gather a team to begin the process of cranking out assets and getting them into UE4. We should have room for people of all skill level but would prefer if you were familiar with standard workflow such as: Subdivision Modeling, PBR texturing, and importing assets into Unreal. I'm also going to create a thread on Polycount in a few days depending on the response we get here.

This mod will be a nice change of pace for anyone who is used to working on games from the ground up. We have the fortune of piggy backing Days of War for American assets, so all we really have to create are Japanese weapons, vehicles, buildings, ect. I've actually worked on a project like this for company of heroes back in the day. Anyways, we will hold any artwork to a high standard and will be creating a lot of work that can serve as portfolio pieces if you're an artist looking to get into the industry.


Please PM me if you're interested!

Unsurprisingly if any of you have visited that forum he has been hammered by trolls for daring to suggest the idea or even asking for help... I post this here simply because if there are any of you interested in helping him jump over to the DOW forum and give him a hand!

Days of War FAQ
04-05-2016, 06:11 PM

Since we don't have an official FAQ's page I decided to put together a small unofficial FAQ's page. If you think of something that I haven't added, leave a reply and I'll add it to the list.

I purchased Days of War and haven't received my key yet:
DrivenArts will be sending out a survey the week of the 11th to get information from all the people who backed the Kickstarter and Paypal option. Survey emails have gone out to everyone who backed the project in the kickstarter or with paypal.
Game keys will be sent out sometime prior to release (They will most likely be sent on the 28th or 29th). Game keys were NOT sent out with the email that went out the week of the 11th.

What are the System Requirements for Days of War:
There are no minimal specs yet but here is a quote from one of the developers.

I hate giving non-answers. But we are still optimizing, so its hard to draw the line on a minimum spec yet. I'd look to similar shooters in UE4 like Squad as a benchmark. We will release some performance metrics in a few weeks once we've done some more extensive testing.

Nice post, Kate, some very handy info there. Take some advice, though, folks in general, do NOT join that "Discord" channel that's advertised there, it's NOT an official "Days of War" channel. It's populated by trolls and morons and should be avoided at all costs .

always buffons around for any game.... see for ET ..........

4 days to wait and hello DoW

The FAQ was created originally by one of the cool guys over there and there are a good few. Turner made the FAQ as driven arts since the initial posts have been conspicuous by there absence . Posts by Switz shotgunrcaf turner mosher ninjak and reiser are always worth a look as they seem to genuinely want the best for the game. SWITZ has done an a amazing job knocking up a list of clans, playing styles and websites which will in the future be a great help identifying servers you would want to play on.
Anyhow it's a few days before we get to test I suggest we report back here so the ET community can get a picture of what this new fame is going to be like. Sadly because of a very strict NDA we will not be able to post screenshots or videos during the alpha.



Ps hope you don't mind Herr G but I have edited your original post and renamed the thread as this now seems to be the DOW UPDATES rather than just mapping......
