Title: Sounds promising Post by: ChromeAngel on March 25, 2007, 08:48:10 PM More excellent progress this month, with their own weapons, health, speeds, sizes and viewpoints each of the classes is gaining it's own unique feel and playing style. Using team colours in the HUD is also transforming the half-life feel into something more distinctly...Exterminatus. We have recruited some sound technicians this month, I look forward to hearing how their footsteps, hoof treads and death screams add to the immersion of the mod.

Sadly this will be a long old drag to get the other classes done as we are still lacking experienced animators to complete them. (http://www.40ksource.com/refs/media/alpha_heavy_Thumb.jpg) (http://www.40ksource.com/refs/media/alpha_heavy.jpg) Of course the EXs weapons went in-game so fast you haven't even seen the Heavy Weapons Marine's equipment yet, so here's a shot showing the Heavys weapons load out as he spawns in one of the MDK test maps, toting the marines most potent weapon the Heavy Bolter. We also got around to analysing the statistics we've been logging, you might be interested to see the results (http://www.40ksource.com/analysis.htm) from our last alpha test. They are rather focused on the Zoanthrope, but then that was what we were testing in that session. Next month? More animation work on the Tyranid Lictor and Warrior models. With any luck we might even get them in-game in time for next months news.

Title: On a personal note Post by: ChromeAngel on March 26, 2007, 06:16:34 PM On a personal note.... Those paying attention on IRC will already know this, but it's time I put it on record.
I'm being made redundant at the end of March and I am looking for work. If anyone wants to hire a modeller, skinner, texture artist, mapper / programmer in the south east of England please get in-touch.
