The Allied Freedom Front (AFF) fought back. After 7 long years, the UEN was victorious.
PLOT
Content Hidden
After the War of Unification, many AFF supporters, soldiers, and leaders had a bitter taste in their mouth. Looking for a new opportunity, they fled to space. The colonies were young, had no identity, and were politically and ideologically independent of the UEN. This was a perfect place for AFF to settle in and the colonies took on the identity of the former AFF. A cold war started between the UEN and the colonies, now calling themselves the Neo-Allied Freedom Front, or NAFF for short. For 10 years tensions grew, until 2089, when the war that everyone expected finally came.
ENTER THE HERO

The Second War of Unification broke out in early 2089. A UEN Space Cruiser crashed into a colony by mistake, alerting the NAFF Fleet in the area. War raged in space, but for 9 months the Earth remained untouched, until Operation Icarus. In a swift and well performed attack, NAFF Forces invaded Earth.
The story takes place on the European Front, where a veteran Lieutenant is given responsibility over the UEN's secret weapon, a new Mobile Armor, called the Epsilon and it's young pilot.
PLAYABLE CHARATERS
Scott McClain: Veteran Pilot from the previous war. Very capable pilot and even better leader.
Ray Forge: Pilot of Epsilon-Alpha. First pilot to use the Epsilon in battle. Ray is very young and inexperienced, but when it comes to piloting by the books, there's no better. His stats are the best anyone has ever seen, which is why he's the Epsilon's pilot.
Rena Dolph: Scott's second Lieutenant and probably the best LR-70 (heavily armored mobile suit) pilot the UEN has. Rena's best quality is keeping Scott from losing his temper during battle.
Clyde Evans: Possibly one of the best mobile suit pilots of his time. Many also say he's the most egotistical pilot of his time as well, which makes him not pleasant to work with.
Just copy the code and put it in your sig! It's that simple!

Here is the download for Part 1. Approximately 2-4 hrs of gameplay. For all non-XP users, there are instructions on how to download the RTP located inside the download. Enjoy! (And watch all the credits, there is stuff afterward) http://www.filefront.com/14715491/Gundam%20Alpha.exe
Yes, it's truly Gundam inspired. I'm not sure about battles yet. I'm not entirely impressed with the tactical battle and depending on how much my spriter would charge, may make a nice side-view system. I don't know. I've gone back and forth with it for some time now.
I've updated the first post with 1 screen shot and updated credits. I've sent this to my beta testers so expect part 1 to be released sometime this week (hopefully Monday).
Monday, great! I'll try it out when I can. I like the looks of it. Rena kinda looks like that girl on naruto (not that I watch it). I guess it's just the hair color.
Thanks guys for your interest!
I'm waiting for a few beta testers to finish up and we'll be good to go. Already, I've fixed the majority of bugs from Lowell's beta test, so I'm hoping that I don't get many more. Anyway, as soon as I hear back from them, expect a release (hopefully sometime today).
