Welcome to the 20th Solitude Update.
Its been along 8 months, members have come and gone, we have had our ups and downs. At the end of the day we are still kicking, and kicking harder then ever before!
VGF/ilDucci, our only animator, has been working hard getting all the guns looking right. He stopped by a few days ago and sent me these video's ;-
Solitude Mod for Quake Sword animations video - Mod DB
Solitude Mod for Quake Shotgun animations. video - Mod DB
Solitude Mod for Quake Needler animations video - Mod DB
Solitude Mod for Quake Plasma Pistol animations video - Mod DB
Please note that these are already out dated and have been changed, the melee animation for the pistol has redone, and we expect most of the melee animations to be redone.
We have a new song for you guys, made by our newest member Nutritious.
'''I'm trying to keep the feel of this one with the theme of solitude, so hopefully that's what it conveys when you hear it. '' - Nutritious
With the beta on its way we are focusing on the main components. I'd say the most important part of a halo mod would be having a decent looking spartan ! Don't worry, PsychotropicPineapples has that covered as he has been working on the spartan texture.
Note from PsychotropicPineapples :The model has been modified since then. I'll be entirely re-texturing the chest and back. The arms will also be done from scratch(what's in that picture is just a quick temporary thing I did).
A few weeks ago we showed you our sexy skyboxs ilDucci made. LW-Torrecilla dropped by to let us know that his bitc.....skybox is even sexier ! He has been working on a few different ones. So far he has finish the day and night one.
First the night one ;-
Nice ehh, we are not done yet. Here is the day time one.
That is alot of content for one update, hope that makes up for the lack of an update last week. You will be seeing alot more of us as we get closer to the release of solitude beta on march 31st. For early access to the latest that the Flaming Ice team has to offer visit the developer diary's over at www.halosolitude.com
Thanks for reading.

Awesome!
Look forward to a more up-to-date Spartan later on today in my dev' diary.
Sweet man can't wait to see it!
Some of the animations seem a little jerky, but they are pretty good!
Love the skyboxes, were they done in Vue?
Yeah, as I said some have already been redone. We are limited due to the fact we only have something like 25 mb ram to work on so we have to try making animations as smooth as possible with as little frames a possible.
The sky box's were made using light wave, it has a sky tracer layout.
Nice! The needler animation looks really good, as does the shotgun.
Wow those animations look awesome. Great work.
*drools*
Nice work as usual :]
How many maps will be in the beta?
We're not sure yet. There are a few in development right now. We should have a list some time next month.
Its freaking amazing omg!
