Progress in "Black Days"

Currently our progress is very stable and advancing progressively. In the storyboard department our game has a complete Prelude and Introduction, while the main events of the game are finised an polished in a 35%, but our writers are much more advanced in the story and they are making adjustments to public a complete new part of the game. In the textures department approximately a 70% of the textures are done and the only ones that are missing are the skins of the models. In the modeling department we have 10 weapons completely done, the René Gado's player model is also done, and the most part of the missing models are from objects and weaponry. In the mapping department our first map is done (the René Gado's Mansion) and other maps are in the work. In programming we have currently designed the weapon selection system, the 10 weapon models are already coded and we are awaiting for further implementation of CSQC and some other nifty features in QuakeC code. In the music department we just contacted a DJ who can make music samples for our game.
