Here is part of the movie project that I have been working on. Please not that it is still only a preview and has several place holders for key elements to be added later.

The final product will either be several 15 minute episodes or one large 90 minute film. I have yet to decide which to do.

The title is also up for debate. It will either be "The Clans" or "31st Century Combat."

I'm leaning more towards The Clans, but it is a group decision.





If you are interested in helping out in any way, please shoot me a PM.

Certainly! I wasn't sure at first if I should include it since the original MW2 intro did not have them, but since this is a remake I guess I can do things like that without upsetting any hard core fans.

Looks pretty good so far! As this game--and that intro cinematic--was my introduction to the BattleTech/MechWarrior franchise, this one has a special place in my heart (though the MW2: Mercs intro might be the best). Always love seeing someone recreate it.

So, what are the other episodes, or the rest of the film, going to be about? That is If you've decided on that yet. Will it be more about the infamous Alpha Assault or Bravo Cadet we see here? Or is it just going to be a smattering of new scenarios put together by you or whoever else is working on this with you?

The story will be the plot of the game. It will open with something similar to the dialogue at the beginning of Mechwarrior 3's intro and then move into this. This will shift into the view of the Summoner/Thor pilot and give a remixed Jade Falcon intro. After that it will be a mix of 3-4 missions from the game from various perspectives and finishing with the game's ending. I will be including fully animated pilot as well, but I don't have any renders clips for them yet.

Oh wow. So, in effect, MechWarrior 2: The Movie. Excellent. Will be watching your progress on this.

Looks amazing! Can't wait to see more! ;)
By the way, how was this made? Has a slight cel element to it which looks pretty cool.

Rendering back then took forever so they probably went light in that area. With your vid seeing it full blown would be bad ***.

I'm working on the HUD now.

If anyone wants to see a particular mission over the others now is the time to say it before I start work on them.

I was surprised when I noticed that the graphics used here were cell shaded. I hadn't expect that, and it worked out pretty well.

3 months since the last post... Necromancy at its finest.

I am curious if Kilroy ever finished this.


Life hit me a lot of stuff. It's still going, but I'm the only artist left on the project and I now am running my own studio between things.

Currently I'm focusing on making the assets for this. (Mechs, vehicles, pilots, environments, etc.)

The movie will probably be chopped up into 5-10 minute episodes in a series now, just so the workload doesn't kill me.

If anyone would like that help it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a Kell Hound Battlemaster that will be featured at one point. (No cel shading yet.)
