Welcome to Eternal Silence

Prepare yourself for an engaging first person shooter experience unlike any other.

Eternal Silence is a Cinematic Multiplayer Space Mod built on the Source Engine. It has been in development since 2003.

A massive deep space artifact from long-gone Earth was found and spawned a renaissance on the human colonies of the United Terran Forces. A gigantic assault from the UTF on the now independent colonies spawned the Neo Galactic Militia and started a deep space war the likes of which the world has never seen. Your role in Eternal Silence will be within vital strategic battles between massive capital warships. You will need your wits, your precision, your strength, your endurance, and above all your courage to take on the fierce challenges which await you.

Eternal Silence features the following:

  • Cinematic Battles between Capital Ships on battlefields as large as 32768 cubic kilometers
  • Choose between ataining victory on foot by capturing the enemy's subsystems, or be a pilot and bomb vital systems from space.
  • Fast and Furious dogfights between Fighters and other Tactical Craft in deep space. Escort you gunships to deliver a squad of marines to the enemy hangar.
  • A True Space Experience. Cut your ship's engines and drift in the frictionless void of space.
  • Action-Packed ground battles. Seize decks of your enemy’s ship, controlling or disabling their shields, weapons... Fight off the enemy and work as a team, fulfilling the role of one of many classes with an array of unique weapons at your disposal.
  • Achieve Victory by destroying the enemy capital ship inside and out.
  • A Complete Story behind the Eternal Silence universe, released chapter by chapter as a novella is available online

Will you uphold the Valor, Pride, and Regulations of the United Terran Forces, or stake your own claim in the universe alongside the brothers of the Neo Galactic Militia. The decision is yours, what will be the outcome?

So the last update didn't have images. Some people might be sayin' "wuts cooking over at Eternal Silence, they don't seem to be doing nothing". The answers: hell no. We're still waiting for Valve to approve our game (should hear more by the end of the week), but we are definitely not standing still. Mostly we're fixing bugs, but since the need for images is obvious, I bring you a veritable plethora of images.

We'll open with 39 screenshots I took today dogfighting with Elusive in 3.2 (all added to our ModDB Gallery too!). I'd like to mention (in the interest of full disclosure) that I kicked his ass. We were fighting on de_battle_of_cerbera which is one of our new maps (and game modes). I think it has become my new favorite too. Here is a sampling. You will of course have to visit our gallery for the full treat.



Next is a little something we've been asked about a lot, but have been keeping secret (and which may make an appearance in 3.3), COCKPITS. Double your immersion with lovely electronic goodies and holographic projectors displaying your HUD components. I like the look of these and I can't wait to have them 3D-ized.


Finally we have a new character model which we have kept cleverly hidden. Daniel Williams did an awesome job on this one, the UTF Marine! Here he is doing a little dance


I know you wanted a release date, but we don't have one yet. But soon, it will be soon, I can feel it in my bones. We're pushing with everything we've got to get this baby out. We hope you will enjoy it. Happy new year to everyone and don't forget, ModDB is hosting their Mod of the Year 2008. VOTE FOR US!


A small note for our server admins: Version 10 has been released today. Update your servers! Our dedicated server is now released over the HLDS Update Tool, for those who didn't know. -game "esmod" will get you what you need.

Peace,
Dan

PS. I'm really tired...

Is this part FPS and part Strategy like the Battlefield games, because I want to check out this mod but I want to know what it's like first.

Game is AWESOME.

But, you need to work on bots because the multiplayer is pretty much dead.

Hopefully in a few days... We've been a victim of Valve Time.

You most likely have an out-of-date version, AKA different from the servers version. Update it to the servers version.
