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 for the months of effort and patience he put into the warriors animations.
With these player models in game we could start testing the chameleon ability of the Lictor, which went from a much under used class, to the stealth assassin he was always intended to be. We've been having some real
predator moments in testing, it's a rush. Can you spot him in time?
Fear not humanity the xenos haven't been getting it all their own way. 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. 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 quoting 'exterminatus coder' in the subject.
Until next month, watch out, theirs a Lictor about.
