"Fear is coming: The Reaper Pack transforms Natural Selection 2's alien lifeforms into a new, terrifying form. Only the bravest marines stand against these vicious, mutated Kharaa! 50% of the proceeds of the Reaper Pack go to one of the NS2 community's hardest working members: Rantology." Good job @Rantology!

Rest goes to the CDT budget (money we can work with later if we need money (e.g. for infrastructure) , so it's 50/50 if you don't look at the share valve takes But i guess all these details will be posted here as a blog post so just be patient.
The promo picture says Alien Reaper skin pack and shows human skin?
Proceeds going to the ones doing the work, in whatever form, is a good thing. =D>
If you say "one of the hardest working members", can you mention some landmarks of her achievements in the details? Consider that an indispensable incentive!
They were intended to be Albino themed aliens, sorry for any confusion. We just couldn't call them that in the title or description because reasons
The visibility is something I tried to keep a close eye on, the skins are not too bad in the shadows but they do catch the light at times when they are in it. Also keep in mind while the skin portion is pretty bright in some areas, the bones are incredibly dark - which is the opposite of the current visuals of the aliens- so visually speaking they are an inverted version of the current aliens...
...But I can say they look really cool ingame (especially the red eyes :P), and they'll be incredibly unique looking when you stand next to any of the other alien skins. (I'm totally going to be using them once they're released)
Will the skin pack include skins for Gorge stuff ?
The fade looks ill. Like an ill person but who will still cut your ass violently. We should call it Heisenberg
...they thinking of adding a skinz for structures... also dropping items... and craft... maybe...
Pretty much. This is a way to test the waters of sort, If we do move forward with some more customization options then we need to make sure people want it. People saying "hell yes" unfortunately does not speak as much as sales volume. We arent in this to make money, but we have a lot of hard working programmers and artists on the team and we wouldnt want to invest their time on something nobody would use in the long term.
As for the pack, its one large pack with a skin for each alien and a bonus marine shoulder badge. We hope y'all will like them as much as we do and also this is a big thank you to Rant for all her hard work and contributions over the years too!

No. No Hydra, Clog, or Tunnel skins. Only lifeform skins. This is something we'll try to make very clear in the description for the DLC.

As I am able to play good matches with my friends - it's OK for me. It is also good to see that the game do not standing still, it continues to evolve in some ways. We will see how it will affect in the future.

I mean.. Deluxe, shadow, normal, kodiak and soon this one. If we keep this up im running out unique classes to put a model on.
Ok ok ok.. here then.. :x
You're expecting people to play nice and buy just a handful of them?
Grats Rantology!
Reaper includes skins for all alien classes
He means 2 more skinpacks and u can have a different skin for every alienclass xD
Beautiful work! Thumps up!
He meant 1 unique skin for each seperate alien.

The thing is with Gabe; you can't never be 100% sure it's the face skin.
Oh noooo you can't "un-think" this now...
