Weekly Update - April 13, 2009
April 13th, 2009 by Maxx Roll up your sleeve and present your vein, it is time for your weekly dosage of update.Hey everyone, lots has happened in the past week + 1 day since our last update. Our original lead programmer Ssba, and our original music composer Beckett have both rejoined the team! Beckett has already provided about a whopping 200 sounds for everything from gunshots, to footsteps, to impact sounds for the mod.
Ssba, on the code side of things, has already got the mod running with a proper damage system, our custom Tab menu screen and scoreboard, has gotten the AI down to producing very little lag, and has our custom flashlight and our walkie-talkie in game.
Sotapoika has flushed out the design of his tight urban map with a wonderful underground parking lot. Expect some wicked screenshots from this.
CrazyMatt has almost finished work on a second player character model, this one also based on the legendary SickJoe's original NMRIH concept art much like Molotov was. Unfortunately I won't say which one it is based on until we are ready to show off the model
Our faithful member R26 has rejoined our efforts to produce some high quality artwork for the mod bringing us his talents of custom texture work and awesome map design. He is the artist formerly known as "s u n r i s e", one of our mappers from long ago.
Flea and I have been busy working on the melée weapons for our first milestone, so we can focus on getting them all ready to go.
With that said, I'd like to present you with a gift, a collection of high resolution renders of some of the melée weapon arsenal including the weapons our former member Neo God had created for us in the past. Expect more of the arsenal next week!
We'll be getting even more done this week, as we are continuing to make great progress.
Although we're getting lots done, we are still hiring! We are currently looking for another animator to do both weapon animations, and character animations! Send a PM to myself or InZaneFlea if you're interested!
Oh, and get in our IRC channel everyone! It is #nmrih on Gamesurge!
