Zanzibar Weekly Update 8

First off, sorry for the late (and yet again, small) update, because just about everyone is on vacation. I had some "business" (a.k.a. babes on the beach) to take care of before I could sit down behind my comp to write you guys a piece of update.

Apparantly, I wasn't the only one who was gone this week, JamesD is also enjoying his vacation. Before he left, he could update us with a VERY nice vid showing some FP-animations on the Battle Rifle. Even though this is not the model we're going to use, the animations look damn sweet. No visuals on that just yet, for they are still in a very early stage.

Also, our neverending journey towards a perfect energy sword continues this week. We're making a lot of progress, and thanks to the Mombasa-part of the team the sword is near-perfect (the shader still needs work, but still looks better every build).

BSP is making progress as well, but still sshhht on that. All I can say is that it's AMAZING. Really. With capitals.

Well, that about covers the week... Next week there will be a bigger update, and ofcourse some visual goodness.

I'm sorry for the short update, it was just that I was forced by some people (*grr* at those people, still). I totally forgot about the screenshot... I'll make it up when I get some extra time (and away from this horrible sunny weather with beaches flooded with babes)...

8:30 on a tuesday and u usually update on sunday, the NM team never ever gives a update on things anymore so now that they joined them they are going to be stubborn pricks too. I had high hopes for this team....
