[Nacho]

Anyone else looking forword to this? It looks like it going to be an awesome game!

Here's there site:

[DiscoDave]

Their site is very professional. I'll definitely be checking this mod(?) out. I really like the storyline. Could be very interesting.

[0marTheZealot]

Sounds damn ambitious. Hope to hear good news from it!

[Beelze]

Seeing as there will be Houndeyes, I'm all for it.

[Cerberus_e]

not to forget gargantua! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That looks really cool..

[torso boy]

too bad half of the stuff in their media section is stolen or badly photoshopped. Sorry guys, move along cause this thing is going nowhere.

[Nacho]

The things you think are stolen believe it or not isn't. The man who is letting us use them likes the mod a lot but unfortunately couldn't work on it due to other endevours. He supplied us with those images for promotional purposes.

MUAHAHAHA! You have uncovered the truth!

Actually I posted this before I actually became a member of the team. I think Dogy mentioned this mod and I really liked how it was going, so I applied.

I'm the uber concept artist. Now back on topic....Do you like it. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I will say my opinion after I've seen the gargantua model, come on http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I find it wierd that the images in question have had their links removed from the media section...but anyway, thats not what I was talking about, what I 'm talking about has already been totally removed(Not just the link). You may have joined after it was gone, but they had used A WIP map shot from the City13 mod photoshopped some rain on it, and called it their own. However the thumbnail is still there, and the picture is also being used as a background for a lot of the other concepts.

The story seems interesting, and it would be nice if the mod gets finished, but the mod really started out in the wrong direction. They made a large media release of stolen content, garry's mod screens, and badly photoshopped hl2 content, as if it were actual things they had in the mod.

[b_blakeney]

Yeah, hate to say this, but that is some pretty poor-ass photoshop. Aside from the concepts, though, it looks pretty kick-ass. IMHO, though, a professional-looking website does not make a mod. Counterstrike didn't even have one. For a while, anyway. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

YOUR POORLY PHOTOSHOPED!

Actually some of those are just teaser images and it even says that. Jeez folks, learn to read. Development has just started but the Juggernaut model is already done.

I guess if I drew the concept art now the model would be done by monday.

EDIT: Just looked at my design doc, Garg is a second priority.

[Cerberus_e]

there are already 2 mondays passed, or 3.
so where is gargantua? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I drew some work for him. His model is half done. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

How's it going with the Houndeyes?

[Nacho]

I have no idea how those hound eyes are doing. I know the model hasn't been started yet. The concept art for him is done though.

Excuse any spelling errors. I have a terrible case of the flu.

half done? so after 2 mondays you sill show him? good http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

will you show him or will he kept secret until the release?

[Cerberus_e]

I'm browsing the site again (because I have time now) and have some questions:

- is the mod good progressing? I mean are there maps done yet etc... or are you only starting with some models?
- I really like the amount of enemies you have, but it has to be a lengthy mod, or else the mod will look like a best-of compilation of enemies, one after another. instead of introducing enemy after enemy once in a while as the game progresses. and there are 3 bosses.
- where is Tentacle and Nihilanth? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif and the hydra...? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
- do you have to program AI for all your new enemies, including the vortigaunt? (because I think he has no AI, Valve didn't need to include vortigaunt AI)
- how will you immitate Kleiner's voice?
- will you include low/medium/high res versions of all new textures? or how does that work

looks like a good mod, Xen Spawner makes me think of the queen from duke and archvile from doom.

I've been playing the HL2: Substance mod, and the Vortigaunts attack any enemy in sight with thier lighting attack.

Don't know if it's already in the code, or if the guy who made it, programmed it.

Some weapon and character models are done. We have a few maps done but there just tests.



- I really like the amount of enemies you have, but it has to be a lengthy mod, or else the mod will look like a best-of compilation of enemies, one after another. instead of introducing enemy after enemy once in a while as the game progresses. and there are 3 bosses.



The mod is lengthy. Enemy's are introduced in there own special way. Also most enemy's stay in a setting.



- where is Tentacle and Nihilanth? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif and the hydra...? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif



Tentacle: Not in the mod because you don't go anywhere where one is.
Nihilanth: Dead...Zombie?
Hydra: We had a HUGE disscusion whether he should be in the game or not. We are either going with no or scripted scenes.



- do you have to program AI for all your new enemies, including the vortigaunt? (because I think he has no AI, Valve didn't need to include vortigaunt AI)


We are doing the AI for the enemy's. It's amazing what our programers can do.



- how will you immitate Kleiner's voice?


There is another mod who is actually using the voice actor of Kliener for there mod. We plan on borowing him.



- will you include low/medium/high res versions of all new textures? or how does that work


As far as I know the mod will come with low/medium/high res versions of all textures just like HL2.


looks like a good mod, Xen Spawner makes me think of the queen from duke and archvile from doom.



I'll take that as a good thing. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

do you hate gargantua too? if so, a battlelord will kill you

Garagagarta wha? I dont like small, nimble enemies, which are either hard to detect, or do huge amounts of damage.

(screenshot of garargagra please)

[Cerberus_e]

the garagragegarageguagraua like you call it appears multiple times during the game (I think 3 or 4 times during HL, and some more times when you count the expansions too)

he is big, blue, and fires 2 blue (electricity?) streams.
or creates a sea of fire like the archvile from doom 3.
you encounter him first time just after the blastpit, in the part where you have to restore power to a train, and then escape with it.

google images "gargantua" will give screenshots probably

[JackpotDen]

Hes a goooood enemy.

ok, now the battlelord will keep you alive
...for now

[Geir]

very indistructable at that. can you still use mines to skip his first incounter? or are the tripmines non-stepable-on

[Nacho]

Oh, there is a new media update.

Don't expect to see anything I've done. why? I was working on the new forum and some other story things. Oh the new Juggernaut was partially based off my design, so that counts I guess.

In game. All I can say is he makes a nice big entrance.

ah, if he makes a cool introduction, then I don't want a screenshot of the model anymore

Crab Synth
Mortar Synth

what's the difference? I only remember one type of synth at the citadel, and none of the 2 is bright blue

[Nacho]

I'm not sure. I believe someone found the model in Half Life even though it was never used.

[Nacho]

Well we got a new maper who goes by the name of Arinak. Here is a sample of his work:

Also we got a new modeler by the name of Traxxas. He is really good and here si a sample of his work:

Lol, just to clear things up. That map is actuall a HL2 Deathmatch level he made. It is not for RT that is just an example of what he can do.
