Finished with Direct System mod intro video. All it needs are sounds and music, but that's something I'll work on it much later.

Haha.. nice !

Really authentic look to it...
Although you still need those terrible MPEG artifacts and no more than 20fps motion !
That kind of motion needs like what... a 4x CD-ROM ?!

That's assuming I'm raging. I'm just pointing out your idiocy for all to see, so people can point and laugh, and know who to avoid.

Very nice !
And the animation of both the boat and Duke is super smooth and the quality of the image seems quite smooth as well. Really good job ^_-

Good job! I wish you took another Duke Nukem model, but it still looks nice!

It always surprises me when I see somebody managing to model an object such as that with Build O_o
Just like that 2CV car I don't remember who did some time ago

[Striker]

In that case I put an image of a Sega Genesis Model 2 up on my second monitor, and tried to approximate the shapes in mapster32.

More high def texturing


all done with Genetica.

frankensprite of an assault trooper and some kinda bad guy from disruptor. I'm not sure I'll be able to see this through to a full set, though. Took a while just to get that one frame.

Happy new year!

I took a bit of a break, but now it's time to start working on the sequel to Shaky Grounds.
It picks up right where part 1 left: inside the Cool culture centre.

Here's a small little preview of the Cool Cafe (no joke, it's based on an actual location and that's the actual name )

[Mark]

Just a quick update for the 3 or 4 of you who remember the Hollywood Holocaust remake TeaMonster and I are working on.

So far there are 185 new models and 468 textures to go with them. 115 other new textures plus whatever models and textures from the HRP that we are using. I swore that there would be no new con coding because this project has already been way too much for just 2 people. But, with the massive amount of Polymer lighting and other assets the framerate was dropping below 30fps in a couple of the worst areas outside. So with Mblackwell's consent we are using his light hack code to disable lights not in the near vicinity of the player. Since that required bringing the GAME.CON file out of the GRP file and on to the main folder to add the hack code I made the decision to start doing some limited con code additions and tweaks.

Progress had slowed almost to a halt for a while when Spiker had real life issues that kept him away and I was slaving away so hard at my workplace that I had no ambition to work on this except for some weekends. But since I made the decision to retire early last month, the pace has picked up again. Still no hard estimate on when the release will be. But the project continues.

[HiPolyBash]

Tease us with a screenshot?

[Mark]

No pics right now. There is so much new stuff crammed into most areas that almost any screen shot will show more than we want to at this time.

I'm working on my own remake of something, the first episode of IW I may do the other 2 (but not the 4th since it's not quite as bad as the first 3 episodes), but I set an internal goal of spending no more than a week on each level; I've taken a Christmas hiatus but I'm hoping this won't take too long to release. I'm sticking to Polymost since polymer doesn't have showview support which rules out sky boxes unfortunately, I would of liked to of worked with dynamic lights though but I'd rather concentrate on one renderer than half assed support for both like IWv2's release. Naturally this v3 release will also have a bunch of bug fixes and minor improvements (some quality of life features from AMC TC but nothing really gameplay altering) and also a mostly new soundtrack using excellent tracks from OpenGameArt (V2's soundtrack was mostly just pilfered from Skulltag map sets, I know people liked it but it never really felt like it really belonged to the mod)

I replayed the mod a while back and realized how badly the levels had aged; I can't shit on work I did when I was literally about 12-13 too much but still, it's nice to look at it and see how far I've come as a level designer.

I remember some other mod had a brief ( sprite on the wall ) reference to IW. I downloaded it to see what it was. I don't remember if I ever loaded it up and played. I'll have to be sure and check it out this next time.

What a piece of news to start the year with ^^

The pic already shows a big difference compared to the current build, I hope the guns will also have a slightly improved model (some really need it like the M500 or the PlasmaGun (and a lot of the Defense Mode's)).

What will you do with the Defense Mode ? leave it be or try to improve things with it ? Or outright "delete" it ?

Was it AMC TC or another mod? I'd be interested to see any other mod that referenced it

No weapon model changes, both because I lost the files used to create them and also because it's beyond the scope of things.

Defense mode is remaining in, but I am fixing up the bugs and at least ensuring most things are a bit more polished than the final release.

[Mark]

It might have been in a WGR2 map. The sprite was on a wall as you entered a big room.

I see

Speaking of Defense Mode, the biggest bugs I've noticed were the fact that, when upgraded, some weapons lost their sounds and/or animation and the upgrade menu for the Epsilon character had glitchy overlaying texts ...
I could give you a full list but that's not really the moment and place for it >_>

The original levels from IW are very fun to play. Also, I like how they are mostly inspired by popular maps from early 2000s, such as BOB SP series, but in a very cute, innocent way.

Can't wait to see the remakes!

[CruX]

replaced the pdw I've shown in earlier screenshots with this ^^ It looks way, way better, but I didn't do anywhere near as much work to make it that way which actually makes me kinda uncomfortable. Couldn't stick with the old frames, though. Was wasting too much time trying to make it look the way I wanted and not having any luck. I'll probably be posting them in the stockpile thread soon-ish.

Heh heh, yeah I certainly wore my inspirations on my sleeve back then. These aren't going to be massive remakes so the levels will definitely still feel like IW levels; I may see about including the old levels in some way so they're still there for the history factor.
