Maelstrom the game

I recently bought the game Maelstrom and liked it, but who else bought it and what are your thoughts on it?

Game was pretty crap iirc, according to score and reviews atleast, but I also say it looks like crap because of the trailer I saw, it had terrible looking stuff and voice acting, and not to mention, after reading the Wiki about it, seemed like...well, lacking in some stuff tbh.

I played this back when it was on the Apple. That game wasn't too bad.

I love the Third-person mode. The voice acting isn't too bad. The reviews I saw were pretty one sided. The few problems like some units not making noise like they should make really doesn't affect me. I look for gameplay and a decent storyline. I'm not looking for the graphics only a god could make or sound effects so perfect that angels couldn't compete with them. If the story is good and the game is well balanced then ill give it a good try. I still need too download the map editor but all I can find is the Russian one. The resource collecting is a bit too f'ed up. Everyone can get water and stuff but when it comes too the survivor compounds or bases. The collecting of scrap, biomass, or DNA is pretty stupid.

From what I know, bad game, but relatively versatile engine. The execution could certainly be better.

Speaking of this game. I googled mods for it but all I got where mods for other games like Sins of a Solar Empire. Any one know of a site where I can get some. ModDB doesn't have any either.

Then the game developers probably died before they released an SDK. Unless someone out there tries to mod it themselves, there is little you can do, immediately.

well with a immediate look at the data files and such I see it uses .pak. Does anyone know even a tool that has a chance to open and extract data from a pak file?

Theres a thing called 'Google'. Use it. I've found countless tools you can use to open the .pak files. That, or if you mod Quake, such a tool should be easy to find.

The only map editor I found was in Russian so their is a gut chance.
