Title: Let us see what we can see of September Post by: ChromeAngel on September 21, 2008, 08:03:16 PM September has been a month of slow progress, I got a bit distracted by building myself a new PC. However everything is still moving forward and back up to speed now I am settled in. One of the first things I installed was the Source SDK, so I could get my new map ex_lycantium finished enough for our Beta testers to try out.

One of these elements turned out to be the hazard suits zoom mode, which was entirely unsuitable for the entirely biological Tyranids. Rather than loose the benefits of a zoom mode entirely it was re-styled for a tyranids as ¨eye strain mode¨.

And that map looks very awesome indeed, which reminds me I have to continue working on my own for you guys now that the initial madness of school has been overcome!
As for that video, wow. I love the sound of the Heavy Bolter firing, that really brought out the feeling that one is using a real Space Marine weapon! Good to see you guys using cover and tactics to bring down those sneaky xenos! The only thing that would have topped this would have been if you guys had been talking with Space Marine voices! ;D Title: Re: Let us see what we can see of September Post by: Kapten Zoom on September 23, 2008, 05:04:55 PM The closer you people get to finishing this, the more happy i get.
