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.

As part of the process of polishing up the mods rough edges we have been trying to eliminate those jarring reminders that you are playing half-life 2 in order to increase your immersion in the game. 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¨.


I had ¨a heavy time¨ putting together a new video for you, but I know how much you love seem Exterminatus in action, so please consider this a little bonus.
