• CITY DEFENDER : TOTAL WAR

    Created on 7/22/2025 1:41:16 PM by NST

    +++INCOMING COMMUNICATION+++

    CITY WIDE ALERT - PRIORITY ULTIMATE

    Attention all runners.

    NCPD orbital scans have identified an immense concentration of mechanized signatures in the desolate wastelands north of the city.

    The force looks to consist of heavy warbot units supported by cyborg troop elements.

    Data analysis and plot projection predicts that they are heading directly toward the entrance gates in sector A-08.

    This is an urgent call for the complete mobilization of all armed forces that can respond to this message.

    Prepare to repel this enemy with all destructive firepower available. The use of extreme force is fully authorised.

    All non combat citizens are to take refuge in their designated survival vaults.

    Meet the defence commander at city exit at the designated time for mission brief. Failure is not an option!

    For Reza, For Neocron!

    +++MESSAGE ENDS+++

    Event Date: Saturday 26th July, 26-07-25

  • Community Contest: Asset Creation

    Created on 7/7/2025 1:52:01 PM by NST

    Dear community,

    We have always felt there is too much-unused potential in our community and concluded that we have to make use of it!
    We know not everyone can contribute on a regular basis but can spare the time to craft a one-off piece of wonderment.

    Therefore, we have decided it is time for another asset contest!

    Aim of the contest?
    New Assets!

    Create a new asset which would fit into the Neocron world. A box, a picture, Event items etc. or restore an existing asset in High Definition.

    Whether you use a Spec/Gloss or Metal/Roughness workflow is up to you, as long as you orient yourself on PBR guidelines for a naturalistic/realistic look.

    Making Engine-ready assets:

    All assets need to conform to specific standards to work with Neocron's deprecated engine:

    • All assets will need to go through a special converter tool later, this tool only reads certain formats (.FBX binary works perfectly). Assets need to be in a metric scale.
    • Neocron does not yet support state of the art dynamic lighting, all textures need to be prepared as Unlit with baked environmental lighting. That means all information is baked static into a single diffuse map. A lossless diffuse map in .PNG is fine. Do not bake strong directional lights or reflections.



    Polygon Budget:
    Up to 5k, with appropriate LoD's. LoD's must have the format: meshName_LOD0.
    Texture-size: 1024px/m. Maximum texture size is 2048px.

    Tools:
    Any tool you feel comfortable with and that can output .PNG, .DDS or .BMP and .FBX files
    Your .FBX file must contain a non-triangulated original mesh to have options for changes.

    The prizes?
    Every asset which we decide to include in one of the upcoming patches will be awarded the following:

    • The honour of your asset being published in Neocron -> your name will be put in stone in the patch-notes!
    • A trophy* of your choice for one of your characters on Titan.



    * Your choice of trophy excludes CopBot Trophies as well as Bronze, Silver and Gold Cups.


    Get started and we look forward to reviewing the entries! To give you time to get your entry perfected, you have until Friday 1st of August 2025 to craft and submit your entry.
    Send your entry via E-Mail to xanthos@neocron-game.com with the subject "Asset Contest".


    Good luck!
    Your Neocron Support Team
