it also appears the explosion doesn't match up to where the projectile "lands"

There is a weird vertical yellow line at the base of the explosion. Looks like those good old graphical glitches of EDuke32.

it's caused by the projectile leaving anomalies before there's even an explosion.

Holy moly!

Did anyone else notice the physics and interactivity??!?! The bomb blew up the closest chair and pushed away and partially damaged the chair to the right. The gibs also seem to have some nice physics.

Still, where are the skeletons in those bad guys?

Blood did this in 1997

I think the hand somehow looks to masculine in the gif.

Ah. That's the projectile trail it leaves behind. It only spawned one because it immediately touched an enemy. Otherwise you'd see a bomb following an enemy and leaving a trail behind until there's an explosion or a full stop.

Oh yeah, now I see it in the frames before the explosion too... but why does it stay there during the explosion?

[DavoX]

It has a slight delay of time to dissapear. That's why it hasn't dissapeared yet. Its not really noticeable when ingame, don't worry

[cosmonautcowboy]

While I don't have the expertise and knowledge of the Build Engine that most people here do, it looks pretty damn good to me!

[TerminX]

Yeah, it's a weird little TRON-like trail thing. The same sort of weapon in Bombshell has them, too. Not an artifact.

P.s. we didn't code sector/wall texture destruction based on radius damage yet. It will definitely be in the game.

[Micky C]

Groovy!

I'd assumed it was a bomb fuse myself.

It's always the best for feedback to shooting (or throwing in this case) to be instant in a first person shooter. I don't think I've ever used a satisfactory gun in an FPS that delays the firing after the immediate user press to make way for an animation.

Then at least make the hand come up at the same time instead of with a delay, and make the hand line up with the projectile.

[Mblackwell]

I was already mentioned that it's not lobbed in the way you assume (not that you can tell much in a gif/animation with most of the frames cut unfortunately). So repeating yourself doesn't do much good.

I'm sure it will all make sense when the game is playable.

Looks like we are back in track ladies!

I like those classic Doom-style gibs. Looks great!

Indeed ! Looks awesome !!

[PsychoGoatee]

Looks terrific! And can't wait to hear the one liners said during moments like this.

[xMobilemux]

Love the gib animation, it works great with an explosion, but I'm just hoping that the weapons in the game will have a satisfying punch to them resulting in the gibs.

Last thing I want is for the shotgun to feel like a water pistol.

Can't tell if it's the sprite of a hand from one of the devs(like Duke's was) or if they just used it from the character model of Shelly.

But forget all that, I still gots ta know!

Will Shelly's VA grind her god damn teeth!!!!!????

December now. If something's coming out this year it's going to be soon

[NightFright]

Until now, I haven't received word regarding my beta tester application. I guess they have their tester group compiled already or it's not decided before next year?

Uh, if you haven't received it by now then you are definitely not in the program.

Is this to do with Bombshell Delux edition? I recall TX saying on Twitter that if you can present him with proof that you bought the game before Interceptor went belly-up then he'll give you beta access.

I don't think that quote has anything to do with the beta that is going on at the moment though.

In reply to NF: I wouldn't give up all hope yet

[KaijuTurtle]

I seriously hope for some kind of news this coming week. I know it’s kind of baseless to assume there will be, but it would be a fantastic little Christmas surprise.

Look on the bright side: this year will definitely be it (and well if it isn't I'm a Black Mesa fan, I can wait).

[Micky C]

Let's hope the delay is also at least partially due to them putting in a larger amount of cool features.

That's what I hoped 20 years ago about DNF.

[Hendricks266]

We have a timeline in place. You'll know it when you see it. I can't say any more.

[Tekedon]

When it's done!

For better or worse I don't see them switching engines

I'll be willing to wait for as long as it takes as long as you guys don't start cutting down maps to speed up shipping...
