State of the Mod - February 15, 2009
February 15th, 2009 by InZaneFlea Welcome to the second weekly news post! That's right, two weeks in a row. Pretty sure that's a first around here. Anyhow, this past week has been, well, interesting. We had a breakthrough of sorts, although not on the coding side, but on the content side. Apparently sometime in the past, someone leaked our FTP's information to Tatsur0 over at Zombie Panic : Source. While that could've gone horribly, it ended up helping out immensely. The build that we received from Pongles was that, a build. We were missing a lot of the models and props that had been created over the years and it was kind of starting to worry me. After a chat with Tatsur0, he broke the word that he had those files, and sent all of them our way, as a sign of good will. I would like to deeply thank Tatsur0 and the entire Zombie Panic team, not only for helping us get our models back, but for being as supportive as they are with us. It's not something you see everyday, but I get a genuine feel that they really want to see us reach a release, and I'm sure that will help a lot down the road.About us ourselves, not a lot has happened in the past week. Mostly it's been me attempting to get the team back together, and get everyone on the same page. Things are bound to start off slow, but once we get the ball rolling we'll be fine. Here's a list of current team-members that have responded, and that hopefully should be around the forums a lot more!
Brian4 - Programmer
luke (+Sonic Valley)- Sound Design
Maxx - Modeling Consultant
Vok - Animator
Captain Munky - Voice Actor
nay0r - Level Designer
CrazyMatt - Character Artist
malfuncti0n - Level Designer
We've also said goodbye to Machine, Phreak, and Kan3, all of whom have let us use all content they made for the mod, so thanks to them as well. While I was hoping to have a beta build for you all this week (Haha), unfortunately there's no such amazing release. Sorry to ruin your dreams, but I'll keep posting these every week until one includes a download slot!
