Ready? Aim! *DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA*

Beta testing continued this month, feedback from the beta testers resulted in the return of an old feature from our parent mod Rival Species, crouched aiming. Players now have the choice to stay mobile and less accurate or crouch down for a more accurate shot. Beta feedback has gone into improving the game balance too, our testing games are now closer and more compelling than ever.



The last of the planned HUD elements was added to EX for this months Beta. The new HUD element shows players their team's mission as the game progresses. Typheron continues to develop his map Dig Site, having overcome corrupted map files, an IRC ban and and his AOL internet connection to get it to us.



Finally we would like to thank the (highly productive) Foot Clan for their final set of sound effects they contributed to Exterminatus and wish them the best of luck with their new projects. If anyone is interested in finishing the few remaining sounds EX needs please get in touch (I shall be getting back in contact with earlier volunteers this month).

Beta Blastoff

Exterminatus has come roaring into 2008 with a record nine Alpha builds and the start of Beta testing since our December news round up. Just this weekend we sent out invites to twenty eight lucky and persistent Warhammer 40,000 fans to get a sneak preview and help us make the best damn 40k mod for source we can. This months pictures come from our first testing session with the beta testers.



This month we continued to add new sound effects and special effects in-game and have begun producing more polished versions of existing game content. Meltaguns and the Zoanthropes fearsome warp blast attack have received visual upgrades. The class selection menus and heads up displays got some loving for more full wide-screen gaming.



Exterminatus and Rival Species were proud to be the focus of an article in Firebase, a warhammer 40k e-zine this month. Next month we'll continue to adding planned features and polishing the ones we have.

The end is in sight, the end is Exterminatus...
