Hello!
We're here again, and it's time for some updates :D

We've been very quiet recently and with due cause, first of all GeneralBert set fire to his laptop and then forgot how desktop PC's worked .. which I won't lie was farily funny.
Secondly, I had to learn 3D modelling, so now I can extrude cubes from other cubes .. I feel like my life is more complete now. I may even start making abstract art.

Anyway.
The entire team have been having too many meetings recently and we've actually sorted out 95% of the documents we need for the game, so now we're ready to start.
However, we have made some major changes to the game itself, the first is we are no longer going to use Unity3D for the game - mainly because for the pro/indie license is far too much for us to afford, so we don't get a good 80% of the features and shaders which we'll need in the game.
Instead we've decided to go with the UDK, it offers a lot of features and is much better for what we plan to do (hopefully.) Plus we like Q.U.B.E. and Sanctum and they're made in the UDK, so we've decided to use that. This gives us a big advantage as I'm learning C++/C# and DTJ20 is learning Java, so we're good for programming, which also gives me and GB time to do modelling for stuff.

That being said, once we have some content to show for the game in the new engine, we'll open a new page on IndieDB for the game, with the correct information etc and close this one down. We'll obviously post links to the new page first and allow time for people to see, but until then we probably won't do many updates to this page :( (SORRY!)

With that I'll leave some nice links here for you.

I was wondering, are you planing to use all of UDK's graphical features or hold back for lower spec'd PC's ?

We'll allow for everything that can be disabled in UDK to be disabled if it needs to be for performance :)
