Title: What's big, scaly and standing behind you? Post by: ChromeAngel on April 21, 2007, 09:46:24 AM The big news from Exterminatus this month is about the big critters. Progress with the animations is going according to plan, even without experienced animators. This month we had enough done to get both the Tyranid Warrior and Lictor player models in-game. Big thanks to Typheron (http://www.40ksource.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=12) for the months of effort and patience he put into the warriors animations.

We've been having some real predator moments in testing, it's a rush. Can you spot him in time?

The marine veterans combination of chainsword and inferno pistol (a pistol variant of the meltagun that was in the news in January) has been receiving some attention and new sounds care of DeBaron (http://www.40ksource.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=385). Don't be alarmed by the crudeness of the maps shown here, these are just for testing purposes, their will be better ones in the actual game. Exterminatus is looking for an additional coder to help out with special effects, so that ChromeAngel can focus on the marine animations and brood coding which are next on the agenda. If you are interested mail me (http://mailto://me@chromeangel.co.uk?subject=exterminatus%20coder) quoting 'exterminatus coder' in the subject. Until next month, watch out, theirs a Lictor about.

I've found a job closer to home and better paid than my last one :D . It's only on a temporary basis at the moment :( It could become permanent if the company does well over the next couple of months while i'm there. I just have to stick it out and see.
