lookie lookie, it's another update.

first of all, i bring you a quick overview of the story behind the entire game.

Story Overview

500 years ago, a large terrorist organization forced the free countries of the world to band together into a large military government. It was known as the UTF. The UTF was lead by a council and a high general. General Sheldon was the high general at this time and was fighting a bitter war for the UTF. Earth was subsequently destroyed in the war, the terrorists having used somesort of weapon on it.


This started a huge migration of all the survivors to the colony of Neo Terra, now the UTF homeworld. A lot of culture and biodiversity was lost with Earth. The UTF formed a government based on the military structure. It's a very roman view of the world. It became a large empire where military service was expected of everyone and discipline and authority were valued.


50 years ago the UTF made the discovery of the Surrogate, a giant space station mysteriously containing all the DNA and history that was lost with Earth. This spawned a renaissance as many people took to the ideas of the past. Many independent nations were founded near the Surrogate (found on Planet Vehera). The culture and DNA gained from the surrogate led to a simple way of life similar to the old life on earth. The Surrogate had automatically terraformed the planet Vehera into a garden of Eden. The Surrogate housed many scientists and scholars which used it for research and a small NGM division which protected the heritage site.


The UTF declared war on the planet Aethra after 50 years of peace. The assault was much like Pearl Harbor and Aethra was caught entirely by surprise. In response to the UTF hostility, the independent nations of the Surrogate formed the NGM. All the nations remain independent in government but share the military structure in order to fight the much larger UTF.


The war has started.

also added today, were 2 new sections to the site, the Manual to the entire game, and the Custom maps section.

the manual ofcourse explain the basic gameplay elements, how to get started, and what a typical game could look like.

the custom maps section has information posted, for how to set up your source SDK to work for Eternal Silence, in order to create your own maps for ES. (note that this is quite a bit more complicated than making a regular HL2 map)

And ofcourse there's a few pix to go along with it. also release end this month
