To fill you all in, Update 1

This week we've been modeling quite alot. As of now, I am animating the Chaingun, but I'm a little stuck. Tool is messing with my model, and just being lazy, so I have to talk to CMDR sometime about it.

And about the chaingun sounds, I'm currently working on getting it ingame (yes, I have the sounds ready).

Snaf said he'd chat with Oxygen and attach the first base, and he also said he'd work to make the terrain more 'hilly' and less 'mountainy'

Oxygen has modeled a few more guns, all of which are completely stunning.

CMDR great start on Shock rifle, but still need's refining on the rough edges. Will start animations on the gun ASAP.

Bednarcik Punk has been buisy on his vietnam map, but wen he has free time he skins. But until we get a simple alpha, he can't detirmine strategies, and the fairness of them.

Spyd3r(cooldude) has been hard at work on the chaingun that I'm animating. I still can't believe that he threw it together in a few hours. It's great! As soon as I contact him, we'll discuss what to model next.

In general news, great feedback at Gearbox

We even made Front page on HBO!!!
w00t!

I have a picture of the second base, I'll upload it later...

Note: I have a few PAGES of scetches of weapons I'll upload next week, some will be cut, and others will be modified. And some will remain unaltered.

Hopefully we'll have some in-game screens next week!!!

woot, front page on HBO!

about the beta thing... i think it should go through a strict filtering process... not "first 10 to post" because there are many INTENTIONAL leakers.

p.s.- feels great to have my name in bold :D lol

SnaF<---woot there it is!!

beta is comming along great. Everything is working out: although i had to greatly alter the terrain to fit the needs of the bridge & buildings, but in the end...it'll still look similar. Right now i'm thinking of chnging some stuff: underground section that leads to the bridge...canapyover entrance-VERY HARD TO EXPLAIN!!!

This is a really nice project, but... wth is the map supposed to BE? You basically just saw a painting someone made, and decided to steal the idea and make a map off it! Not saying you actually stole it (seeing as you have premission).

I have no where to leak it to, and I dont really get the point of leaking, you leak an early version of a map/game that is not fully developed, so it would probably suck compared to the full version, and people are just going to get it anyway...

Right now I'm tagging the shock rifle. I read that it needs some refining touches but nothing I can't handle. I have made it expressly unique from most other weapons. Until then, I'm creating a new bump map for MC. It's should look great on him when it's done.
