I don't mind the delay on the Alpha. But I hope they release the alpha before the end of the year.
Here is some more screenshots by the way. New videos before the end of August, pretty excited :D.

The FAQ says that behind the lines (I assume he means the trenches), there are forests and a village. I'm curious as to how this will effect the game. Why would I ever need to go behind my own trenches. It seems like it would make more sense to have it in no man's lands as a area that's sorta impossible to see what is going on in. That would be great to have to clear out the village every so often of German recon squads or ambush a German patrol trying to get a better spot to attack. It would give something to do during the day when charges at the trenches are suicide. Also, I wonder what role stormtroopers will play in this game. I assume they would be the elite units who occasionally launch raids in the middle of the night but I don't know what else they would do.

The game takes place at "Hill 304" (Cote 304) and I would assume they are basing it off of maps of the area and such. Thus, I would deduce the village of Montzeville is the one being represented.
Or they've taken some creative liberties and made up their own village for gameplay purposes.

Stoßtruppen were just seeing their genesis in 1916 and they weren't meant to be a trench raiding force or anything. Trench raids were ad-hoc events undertaken by all manner of ranks. Chances are they'll just be better armed enemies in game terms.
Another new Screenshot today.

These photos are a little older, but were added to Facebook today.

EDIT: They were also added to ModDB, not entirely sure then if they are old. I think I remember seeing them floating around The French website.
What is with the black outline on the pistols?
Is that first picture supposed to be some sort of rigged revolver cylinder that, when triggered, blows a hole through the poor fuck that tripped it? Will it have some sort of use in trench raiding gameplay-wise?

No, it's an early form of improvised grenade used by the French.

I don't know if it's just the perspective but the barrel on that Artillery Luger looks a bit short.
Verdun I feel was too rushed. They released the Beta without proper weapons for each side. All sides used the French Pistol and the German Rifle and Machinegun.
I have been waiting for this game for a long time. I honestly thought that development was halted, but not I'm really excited. Not enough WWI games out there.

7 years of being rushed :D.
At least I had heard it had started back in 2006 :P.
Some ok news on the incoming videos: They're taking out any reference to the Alpha in them because they were supposed to be released along side the alpha. As well, the first one is going to be on the weather system and its effects. Should be up within a day or two.
Five new weapon pictures from Facebook.

Great, I'm stupidly excited for the trailer. My hope is that this game will sorta be a mix of Stalker and Far Cry 2 in that it is an open thinking man's shooter. It won't be as mind blowingly beautiful as Far Cry 2 but I can imagine this being one of the most enjoyable I've ever played if it delivers on everything.
As long as there is no Malaria.

Agreed.
New video time! Showcases the lighting, day night cycle, and weather effects.

As well, a new screenie.

It's been a while since there was a peep from the developers, but here we are on November 11th 2013 with a large batch of new screenshots. So I have a feeling we are going to be getting a large news update soon. Another clue to this is that the video on their homepage was changed from some strange videoplayer to YouTube, which is good news of activity.
Check out the full gallery here:

I'll post some of my favorites from the batch.

Gosh, I can't wait until they actually show us game mechanics or anything but still images and renders.

Me too. I talked to fintoro a couple of days ago, he said he'll shoot a message over to Cyril asking for an update.
New screenshots posted today.

When I look at that mans face "explosives repository" is probably the last thing I would feel safe associating him with.
The faces look really bad.

I think its the cat eyes. Though, speculation is that the 21st of next month will be the Alpha Release date as we seem to be getting more screenshots again, hopefully soon we get news.
Translation of the news posted today!
[I]We take the anniversary of the Battle of Verdun to bring you news from the front !
Above all dispel your concerns , we are always developing and THE TRENCH is still alive!
We are aware that in recent months have been rather short on news and it took patience to the test.
So what about development?
Currently we have solved all the problems of performance and made ​​significant optimization work on the engine .
The longer this time is the separation of the main board in several parts ( this is also one of the reasons that led us to postpone the release of the alpha last summer ) .
The task is especially important even at the consistency of the environment. You will also save many fixed bugs resulting from these changes ...
Sound design on the side , there's plenty of things to do . Finally at the broadcast infrastructure alpha we still have work .
The road is still long but advance!
And alpha is when?
For the release of alpha , we are still difficult to set a date but we are definitely on the right track for a current release of the year 2014. We will provide you a release date when we know for certain that you can hold in particular to avoid repeating the exploits this summer.
If all goes well, the next few months we should be able to provide you with more information about THE TRENCH especially present in the game video. We will continue our presentation of ' features' and finally videos of ' gameplay ' .
The road is still long, but we are beginning to see the end .
Again we thank you for your support and your patience !
The team Gallica Game Studio.[/I]
Thanks for updating us, sir. I was really hoping for a video but I'm glad that they're promising to give us some more information in a while.
Yeah, I'm most certainly relieved that we have actual news relating to the status of everything. It was also nice, because Cyril posted it on both the English, and French forums. It was not limited to Facebook this time around. He's really trying to make amends it seems!
I didn't expect anything new to be posted today, but there was a short video showing off the Ruby's animations posted today. No sound however. IMO the muzzle flash is too big/bright. Something lower key would be nice.
Since I can't really embed the video, here's a link: [url]http://www.indiedb.com/games/the-trench/videos/pistolet-ruby-alpha#imagebox[/url]
[editline]8th March 2014[/editline]
I actually have an update on the Muzzle Flash thing. I posted a thread of the new stuff on the official forums for the game, and Cyril responded :D.
He said this "Hi,
For muzzle flash is actually old version for lebel.
I plan to make it a specific for ruby. "
Sorry, you need to Log In to post a reply to this thread.
