What are those yellow glowing rings that are seen in every screenshot you post data? (First post maybe)
Hurry up already!
Wow looks good cant wait ![]()
I look forward to this greatly.
Fujima.. it’s a cursor for when you want to select a different body. It appears if you hold down either switch button for half a second. When you let go, control switches to the meat puppet nearest to the cursor.
HOLY AWESOME
Dinosaur bones, awesome. ![]()
Now hurry up soldier.
ahhhh thank you data :):):)
an update and hopefull release date has now eased mine and many other peoples devlog checking addictions ![]()
Fossil?
FOSSSSSSSSIL!!!
Looking good. I like the dinosaur sprites, but the new brain sprite isn’t that amazing.
Did you play all night, or is that all AI?
purple i dont think thats a new sprite but a screenshot in the process of the pie menu being opened over the brain?
MRX, all AI on both sides. I was sleeping. Those red lines are debug graphics for the pathfinding.
Want. So badly. So much want. One week. Arg. Brain melting.
But Purple’s right, the new brain is…..meh. I like the old one more.
lol… 4 hours l8r.. and no new build…__- XMas i came… “hohohoh”….
God that’s insane, I just can’t wait!!!
Wait….Did you jsut say AI WERE CONTROLING BOTH SIDES? This could be great news…

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON THERE?
nice, finaly a defensive bunker is actualy usefull..
btw is that defender one of those green clone cybor thingys you put in the hyping tread?
Lol madness. Keep going, it’s gonna be great ![]()
Please hurry and release this!
niiiiice. Cannot wait!
OMG OMG OMG!!! I Can’t wait for this one! I am about to explode with excitement!!
Damn, I’d like to see an epic AI-only battle!
@Data’s first post
Meat puppets? Psi-Ops, anyone?
Omggg lol. I see Dropship gibs!
I… Love… YOU! so about a weeks? sweet and what sorta payment system you using?
mate this is truly awesome
this move will be revolutionary for data realms future, good luck and great work
and by the way it looks fantastic
I’d hate to wait a week, but it’s probably worth it. nice job data! for anyone that didn’t see it right away, the dino bones have background to.XD
I came.
(pee) ![]()
My day and your money are made.
I third the motion to not like the new brain, tho. No matter; it’ll be easy enough to mod back if desired.
What’s different about the brain? It looks pretty much the same to me.
It’s round and not cylindrical, BreenedandScrooned.
I see dropship gibs.
Wow. This build looks incredible.
First of all, props to Data.
Second, I am going to explode in anticipation of the new build.
Well, very nice progress, Data!
I’m glad game will still bring more stabiliy and functionality every new version instead of degraduating. And after all, i will surely will buy game to support your work. As developer too, i know what is spending lots of time on project, and your work should be payed well. Btw, that would be very good if there will be webmoney-pay way because i do not want use cc’s or other payment method.
Are there now varying levels of cyborg clone?
And the brain looks like a metroid.
Oyeah, the dropship gibs look nice too, so do the fossils.
Sweet, i have been playing cortex since the 4th test build and modding it ever since but i won’t mod this version you rocked my socks off ![]()
I don’t care how much they charge or how I want it now!
lol.. lock @ the kill counter…
Awesome! Christmas presents can wait…. my money’s on this!
I think the new brain is cool; it looks far more…”glassy” than the other one. But it should be bigger; after all, since were in the future, why not make ourselves smarter?
we only use 5% of our brains as it is.
that dino fossil is looking good.
Not true, Brinlarden(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_brain#Common_misconceptions).
You’re right about the fossil, though. ![]()
Data, just freaking release it already. You can update it if there are any bugs, and there IS ENOUGH NEW CONTENT ALREADY! You dont need to add any more before the release, you know. This isnt Halo 3 Half-Life 2, or Crysis, you can update it regularly.
dude this is the 2nd most epic thing ever.
the first was when i discovered cortex command.
i cant wait for this… and the new clones look EPIC!!!!
Oh My God! I can’t wait, i’ll pay $1,000 dollars right now for it. I can’t wait!!!11!!111!!!
Ugh, data, I am truly about to cry here. I dont care if it is as buggy as Big Rig Truckers: Over the Road Racing. Even though that is not possible. Just release it and listen to us sing from all over the globe.
ok ok guys give data a break gosh man lol you whouldnt be so happy if they listened to you guys after all ! If they said alright when you guys weeks ago said i wnat it or like tendrop now saying we dont care if its buggy release it. THATS NOT TRUE. If it came back all buggy and no offence data i doubt this but kindaa craped up you guys be like wat the hell. So just stfu and let dta do there god dame job as long as it takes. Kepp up the good work data you relly deserve it.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMNNNNN!!!!!!!!
And what will be the payment method?
lol, I disagree with sacane111. it couldn’t be any glitchier than our build now, so if there isn’t much complaints now than there won’t be for the next build. heck there would be more happy people than people saying “OMG ROBOTZ R BUGED” and if there are people like that, then they really need to learn what data went through. putting all of that to the side, I think data should go with the new brain. I don’t like it, but I could just switch it and the I’d have a choice.
GO DATA!!!
I suddenly want to play dwarf fortress… C_C
Oh man, I can’t wait.
Data needs to make some gameplay videos, plus one showing an AI vs AI in time lapse video.
MY EPIC GAUGE EXPLODED. FUCK YEAH.
Lol, hey sacane. I am gonna buy this when it comes out, and we can coop the campaign.
alalalalalala
o noez, ai are using heavy diggers.
Wow, red really pwned green there. Did they each have their own bases, or was it like the human vs. ai we play now, where green just attacks, but has no base? That’s probably some secret feature we’ll find out about later.
Anyway, I really hope your realease date prediction is correct. One week would be amazing.
DAta, I say keep it as long as you can to iron out the bugs. This is going to be the first commercial release, right? We don’t want you rushing this out and putting off newbies ’cause it’s buggy.
The old brain’s better. But at least the AI looks intelligent!
This looks pretty fucking awesome, it’s going to be twice as satisfying to gib a clone with an assault rifle now with the more awesome models. And the ai making its own tunnels too, when digging tunnels, will the AI dig under enemy troops for the path of least resistance? and does it allocate some of its troops to defense of the AI brain?
data, did you put anything like secondary functions on guns or crouching with clones in? if not do you plan on doing so?
Crouching and crawling are both in. The AI will also know when to crawl when the headroom is too low. That’s how they managed to fill up the tunnels so completely with their own bodies…
Data, i love you, i just, i want you to bear my children…
FINALLY A CROUCHING SYSTEM!!!! I always wanted to duck behind a rocket and wait till the ai reload, then jump up and kill ‘em. I love tactical warfare ![]()
I cannot wait to buy and play this.
I have several questions though…
Are you planning on ever implementing any sort of melee attacks or weapons?
Are you planning on adding a prone position in addition to crouching/crawling? Now or ever?
Does crouching/crawling effect anything with HDFirearms, TDExplosives, or HeldDevices, such as accuracy or new stance offsets?
How much will it cost at first? I know this question must be getting annoying, but a general estimate would be highly appreciated. 5$? 10$? 15$
What I really want to know is HOW ARE WE GONNA PAY FOR THIS BAMF GAME!
Yeah HOW? Oh, i know,send a message from your cellphone:5$ one mission, 10$ three missions, 15$ half of game!(some times wishes comes true^^)
resolut:
What happens is if we buy it now, we get the full game, and as data releases later and later versions, the price increases.(So if we buy this version, we have a discount. (P .S.you dont need to buy every new version)
At the end when we have a full game, which we bought for a vastly discounted price. We then can buy mod packs to add on to the base game. Or mod it ourselves of course.
Also, is there anything new with TDExplosives?
Because in the current build, there is no way to give an actor that is already in the game a TDExplosive that he can pick up and throw; he has to have them in his order.
And, there’s no control of the speed the MOPixels/MOSparticles/MOSRotating explosion effects. The exploded parts should work the same as gibbing does, with MinVelocity & MaxVelocity. Or, for simplicities sake, make TDExplosives simply gib when the TriggerDelay is done.
Few questions for you:
1. Can we let the computer do all AI battles too?
2. Can we make it show the path lines for us?
3. If you look to the skeleton on the left whos halfway down the screen digging, you can see to the diagonal left-down of him something that looks like bones…. you adding fossils data?
Whoa, this looks good :OOOOO
And look the right down corner, you can see that the clone has been working alot over the night
This new build will be fantastic
lol, kill death ratio 1:177 kills
if we got 2 cpu fighting against eachather, does that mean, we can fight against multiple enemy’s at once?
wait a moment… ic one enemy is only using Skeletons, does this mean we can choose witch spiecies where fighting against?
And when i see everyones fossils comments, they are just maybe something to make the ground look just different
My wallet is ready for anything ![]()
Awesome.
Losses:
Red: 13
Green: 2311
LMAO
The fossils are probably like the rocks, but with a material of bone. Doesn’t exactly look like an archaeological dig; they probably don’t have anything too special about them other than adding something new to the underground.
Although… an archaeological dig could make for an interesting mission.
hmmm… I don’t know witch game I must buy first…CC or Gomd…
CC =D,because I don’t have no source engine lol
W00t, I love you now! (As I did already, but now I love you moar!)
Are there any Performance increases this version?
Becuase that pathfinding looks like it could slow the game down somewhat when you’ve got like 20 enemy clones running all over the map.
I like the new brain case 0:
@Jox: You don’t have no source engine? What’s the problem then?
Data, you say that game was up for 9 hours…
How did you get reinforcements all that time?
In 9 hours even the tightest base with top-class defence couldnt survive an onslaught like that. Especially not 9 hours.
did you have any auto-delivery to drop extra troops after time to time?
BTW, DROPSHIP GIBS YEAH!
It was AI vs AI.
The enemies may have just had diggers, while his guys had weapons.
yagh tendrop i hopefuly can buy it to and we can play it over here to it rellys looks great its going to be scrumptious lol. Loook i wasnt tryin to make people mad its just data not so fucked up company they want you to get your moneys worth. And inside you might think yes we want it out now (who dosent) but you relly want it to be good with that. If you waited that long and like pieman280 said the robots were glicted you probly whould be kinda disapointed you waited this long you want it to be great. ITS ALL DIFFERENT WHEN YOUR PAYING FOR SOMTHING TRUST ME. BUT ANY WAY IT WILL BE GREAT AND ALMOST ONE WEEK LEFT CANT WAIT
numgun, good question, he probably just mad it to where the game was completely ai vs ai with no pple so then if theres an error he can take the ai vs ai out and look @ problem (also this might be incoherent cuz i just woke up so…) btw good job Data keep up the fantastic work!
I love you.
Also Data: any news on doors or elevators?
Have you made them useable?
THIS
IS
AWESOME!
Srsly, i can’t wait to give you my money :3
Crouching and crawling AI…
This new AI is gonna be one hell of a challenge.
Thank god for double barreled shotguns.
“Get orf ma propetee!” *blam blam*
DAMN!!! LOCK @ THE KILL-COUNTER!!!! XDDDD
Don’t post the same thing twice just because you didn’t get noticed.
You’re also looking for the word LOOK. And yes, we know.
Someone make epic a banword
Why does everybody think the fossils are dino bones? That impossible, dinos only walked the earth, not some planet in a far away galaxy. Giant atomic moles though…
…because they look like dino bones…
woah, we may be closer to cortex command than we think (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-computer_interface)
DATA!!! I was hoping you could clear some stuff up for us. Are there dropship gibs or are those just dead dropships that the AI had to tunnel through? (remember everyone dead thing become part of the terrain)
MRX, Doors are in.. there were three door modules in the bunker above, but they’re pretty much obliterated.
Elevators are probably possible with the door code, haven’t experimented with them yet.
Elevators could get tricky…like, if something died on top of one it’d get stopped by the new terrain following the current physics. It could be done, but then imagine the slowdown from those piles of dead bodies…ick.
just make deadies fall through.
So like… Transforming bunkers with door code.
I called it.
@Neo: Yes, but then what about the pile at the bottom?
Just make the elevator crush the deadies.
O.O
I cannot wait for this!!!
ARGH! DONT SPAM… lol-_-
manuel ist schwanger!
What about artillery? slow to aim, slow to fire, expensive, but devastating.
this crouching and crawling will be cool ![]()
When enemy starts to shoot just crawl/courch and wait him to empty the clip ![]()
“Data, i love you, i just, i want you to bear my children…”
–neoseeker
As I’ve had to say once before. You’re too late. Even assuming this was possible, he’s married.
I think Data would appreciate it more if you buy the game, anyway.
More on-topic, this looks great! And only a week or two more to wait? That’s insane. To tell the truth I expected more time before the first beta build. I just hope I can convince… a certain someone… to help me get this game.
im so excited for this new version!!
im going to get it right as it comes out, hope it doesnt cost more than $20 though, cause then i cant
I’m having constant orgasms.
No need to test it! Let us test it for you!
![]()
Doors will be awesome, close them while a skeleton is coming through and hear the satasfying head pop.
Data: how will missions work. Are they affected by user mods, are they played like skirmish maps, ect. ect.
And if you can’t use mods, can we return to the mission later in skirmish mode and use mods on them?
@Neo102:
Heheh, crunch crunch crunch. That’d be classic.
“Crush your enemies /harder/ in build 19!”
I imagine it will be possible to replay already finished mission with any mods…this will increase fun&longevity
Awsome! now we have official doors. As for the elevator idea, it should stop when people die on it, that would be better than twisted physics. I can imagine it now: a small brain module with an elevator leading up and then when it’s going up 4 dead guys fall on it and it stops moving. you’d have to dig around if you wanted to get to your base. ![]()
Dang, first Aquaria, and now this! It’s like Christmas time!
…….wait……
“Twisted” in this case meaning realistic. If someone dying on an elevator is enough to stop it, it won’t remain useful for long at all. If there’re gonna be elevators, they need to be more resilient than that.
Is the problem with character collisions fixed yet? The problem where if two actors touch, they will probably both loose some limbs.
@ carp: when I was saying the twisted physics thing I was comparing both ideas of the elevator stopping and the people falling through idea I’ve never in my life seen somone fall thorugh a floor when they die so I don’t mean realistic when I said twisted. I think after, lets say, ten dead bodies die on the elevator it would stop. the challenge would be keeping the elevator clean. oh, and if it does stop working you should be able to fix that by bringing in a guy with a digger. he’ll be able to clean the elevator off and it will start running again.
@ Foogooman: I think that has something to do with their jetpacks. correct me if I’m wrong.
You mean like a limit on its strength? Makes sense. It’d also set a neat limit on capacity(besides area).
Hm…it’d probably be advisable to set up parallel elevator shafts for cleaning purposes.
Data: Are there horizontally oriented doors(hatches? I’m thinking of something one could open to deliver troops, and close afterwards. If those were implemented along with elevators, I think it’d expand the game groundward.
Shit data, when I read this I ejaculated 12 times in a row.
Seriously, if I were a girl I would want to have your babys.
And now my mind is well and truly blown away.
To my thinking, Cortex Command is approaching Dwarf Fortress levels of awesomeness (and that’s pretty damn awesome, I can tell you).
Data, do you plan sell CC on CD’s(DVD’s? 0_o) And will you send it to Ukraine?
Blob: no we are only planning electronic distribution at this point - but you should be able to buy it nonetheless over the internet. We’ll have more deatails on how to pay very soon.
Very soon isn’t very soon enough!
My brain is about to explode, whether I cause the cortex explosion (see what I did there?) or not is another matter.
Doors, new AI, crawling and crouching, new soldiers, possibly new weapons, new ships, ship gibbing, crab bombs, who knows what else.
Just sell it already!
So what about the multiple teams? I just wanted to know…
Hmm.. Must wait for “more details”
:O
Data: how will missions work. Are they affected by user mods, are they played like skirmish maps, ect. ect.
And if you can’t use mods, can we return to the mission later in skirmish mode and use mods on them?
Direct Debit for paying?(Netherlands) would be awesome. since msot games i want to buy online require a creditcard and i don’t have one.
Data: how will missions work. Are they affected by user mods, are they played like skirmish maps, ect. ect.
And if you can’t use mods, can we return to the mission later in skirmish mode and use mods on them?
Everyone! just stop asking freaking questions they all will be awncerd in 1-4 days so just shut your gobs and let the man get back to work!
Can’t wait for this masterpiece.
@MRX
Be patient you can’t expect from Data that he wil answer all of the questions.
wow, i am so pumped to throw my money at you lets DO THIS.
actually DATA, i had a question about the music…
where do you get your music? Do you compose your own or something? Would you be interested in adopting some licensed music?
Data, two brief if you’ve the time..
During that battle, did the AI have the intelligence to dig through their own massed corpses, or were they trapped after the first hour? And do they spawn with intelligent loadouts, for example diggers when needed, minimal weapons when not?
I guess I’ll be lucky enough to find out in a week, but curiosity is hard to deny =)
Will there be a way for a human player to side with a.i. perhaps?
L7D.. look in the credits.
just let us spent our money!!!!!!!
oh happy time is almost upon us. ^^
What do you mean, flame?
Since Cortex Command should be released in 4-5 days maximum, he is wetting himself with delight.
I, however, am much more mature. I wear adult diapers, just so when build 19 is released I don’t have to go to the bathroom.
I can play all day!
my views of the last few events in cortex command developmant.
THE EPIC METER:
–1000%
*orgasm*
![]()
i LOVE pathfinding!
OH YEAH!
AGENT15 is CORRECT Well close enough, i just mean that im happyer than BlockHead (http://www.theswain.com) AND guess what im the new #1 guy in this town.
i just got titan quest, hopefully it will keep me busy for the next week or so so when i get done i can play cortex command non-stop!. without diapers!
@ FOOGMAN: WTF
CB1 = WANT
1 Do actors still have the ol’ Mo-Mo glitch
2 Door/Elvators = FTFW
3 MISSILES?
4 Is there an option for more than two teams to fight?
5 Fancy stuff? (Power-ups, multi-function weapons, transforming things)
Things that I want most:
Dropships can be stood upon without stuff dying.
Dropships can be removed from the buy menu but not from the base editor.
Crabships can be stood upon without stuff dying.
Also, your A.I. is really awesome. I just made this thing, and the A.I. reacts perfectly.
in test build 18 it said propose cease fire for an option will that be in the commercial version coming out?
themodanator, good luck
Marry Ghostmas NON-believer!
@ Comment 149 : Want also
@ Comment 150 : WTF
This is the awesomeness
@ Flame : Blockhead FTW
Roflmao at kill counter.
Blockhead FTW indeed.
Also-
WANT!
WAANT!
STOP TEASING US!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i neeed
i keep refreshing every 5 mins
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
my compooper asplodes on titan quests lowest settings!
dis sucks, alot
I like waiting to throw my money at you, it is extremely enjoyable.
Please do take your time.
Wait a second, are those dropshipdoors on ground? GIBBABLE DROPSHIPS?!
Maybe seeing as there is TWO A.I.’s fighting each other you can include up to 3 A.I.’s and play yourself, [basically 4 player] so you could have them fill in the gaps that would [or could be] be taken up by human players
A week has passed
.
cmon release it!!
u promised!!!
If you’d read the comments in igf finals you would’ve known that the game is gonna be released next week, not this weekend.
This is because another indiegame release(Aquaria).
Release! i cant wait to play it
“Shouldn’t be more than a week now.” doesn’t sound like a promise, get back to rocking back and forth in the fetal position until it’s done like the rest of us.
Just chiming in to say that I have no qualms about paying for this ![]()
I want that link to the closed beta so badly…
pity my last comment didn’t show…
anyways it was just going to say this release will own (maybe even own World Of Warcraft)!
Oh god data
First you delay it and THEN YOU GIVE IT TO IRCERS
GOD DAMNIT I WOULD OF BEEN THERE
IF THERE WAS A LINK
BUT THERE IS NO IRC LINK THAT I CAN FIND
D:
Its been a week Data…
