Welcome to Giants World Domination, the most dedicated Giants
Citizen Kabuto source on the Internet! Browse through the latest news below to
see what's new in the Giants community. If you're new to Giants and looking
for some multiplayer action, you'll need to download the 1.5
Patch.
After a slight delay, work on the Graphical Revision Mod has resumed. Currently, the following features are being worked on:
• All textures packaged in GRM (as well as some of the stock game textures) are being converted to a compressed DDS format. This is good for the following reasons:
- Smaller filesize. Allows for easier distribution, and (in theory) faster loading times.
- Mipmapping. The Giants engine's internal mipmapping shiznit is FUBAR. Using DDS however, the game will successfully load the pregenerated mipmaps from the DDS file. Mipmapping will reduce the shimmering, or "crawling" effect you see on some of GRM's textures as you or the camera move in the game.
• New game animations. Vort recently got his hands on a new animation editing suite, and has been replacing some of the game's woefully low resolution animations (the gyro explosion, for example) with fancier high resolution animations.
• Performance optimizations. Many of GRM's initial features are being optimized.
• More high resolution textures to make things look even fancier.
• Reworked shaders, assuming we can find anyone with the necessary skills.
More features will be added if/when we can think of anything more. Feel free to make suggestions, but do try to keep them at least somewhat-almost-nearly-reasonably-semi realistic.
We're looking to create a new downloads section reserved for files of extremely high quality. For information on how to nominate files that you think deserve special recognition, head over here
Hey everyone, it's been awhile? Haha well anyways I have been just truckin along with school and everything.
I thought this was a very neat idea and I enjoy it alot. I have started a little something up called Giants: Citizen RingTones. I have been creating a bunch of Giants Ringtones for today's cell phones out there. Ranging from 40kb to 500kb file sizes, when someone calls you, you hear your favorite character lines. I even take sounds and ambient noises and voice clips to create my own conversations.
If anybody is interested in this idea, feel free to contact me. I will start a thread in the forum shortly.
The latest Giants tournament has ben set underway,

It appears the domain name is going to be on hold for at least another month. Given that the current domain name is relatively difficult to remember, I recommend you bookmark GiantsWD until http://www.giantswd.com is reestablished.
