Weekly Update - May 11, 2009
May 11th, 2009 by Cs42886 Time for another weekly update!First off, we'd like to welcome a new mapper, Kosire, to the team. He's from Denmark, but that's not stopping him from tackling the streets of New York City with his new map, nmrih_brooklyn! We should have some updates on his map for you in a few weeks.
Maxx has recently polished off the remaining melee weapon scheduled for release in Beta 1, the crowbar. Don't worry, there will be many more melee weapons in future releases! Here's a render of the crowbar for you to check out:
The mapping crew has been busy cranking out custom textures for our maps this week. We're trying not to use any stock HL2 textures so it will take some time, but hopefully soon we'll be able to show off our new maps and textures and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
More strides have been made with our walkie-talkie system this week as well. We now have the walkie-talking functioning with the ability to turn it on and off to receive messages or to not create noise. Very cool.
Finally, we have a tasty little sound bite created by one of our sound designers, DaveOfDefeat. It's an ambient track which will be looped in a map to help create the feeling of a zombie apocalypse. Enjoy!

Let us know what you think!
Until next week,
Coleman and the NMRiH Team
