It is a pleasure to announce you the release of Dangerous Rays alpha 10 !

This update is the biggest update made so far. new buildings, new decorative objects, improved graphic effects, some bug fixes, this update is finally adding some fresh new things in the game !

Mxthe has been doing an awesome job by adding more than 500 new textures for actual and future use, by adding more than 30 new decorative objects and by modeling more than 5 new buildings. He has also worked on building interiors and it now looks way better with more decorative objects and the loot system has been changed so the items are spawning in more logical places than before. I am convinced that you you will love Mxthe work and he will do way more cool stuff in the future.
On my side I have done a lot of programming tasks as usual: AI navigation improvements, graphical effects improvements, zombies animation and sounds, the new loot distribution system and a lot of other stuff.

There still some big AI issues and i will work on it during next week, also there is still one zombie skin, some new skin will come very soon. I will do another dev diary on Monday so you guys can know what i am planning to do. New decorative objects can't be stored in inventory yet, this will come in an update that will be released next week.

You should receive your download link in your mail box within one hour. Have fun with Dangerous Rays Alpha 10 ! ;)
