I'm Chris. I would like to make games but all that comes out are prototypes and mountains of assets. Am I doing this right?

I was thinking about blogging some small things about the Prison Island mod, instead of making news everytime, because if we would post a fully fledges news article everytime there is something new it would be like watching 30 seconds of a 2 hour movie 100 times in a row.
So, if you're interested in the mod, you would find some updates about it here.
Why?
Because the capacity of our team is limited and we progress incredibly slow.
I'd like to add, that the team consists of people from all over the globe so
timing and planning things is quite difficult.
Although we have our methods.
I can ensure you, however, when we reached our next milestone, there will be some cool content update.


So, what we do at the moment, is going through our story, over and over again, to make if perfect.
Well. As perfect as we can possibly make it.
We also are planning a lot of gameplay stuff already.
I have a pile of concept drawings here, from Omena, me and our freshly joined concept artist trooper.
It's only for our eyes though, because it doesn't really look like something.
"Form follows functionality"
We will, however, polish some of the concepts and publish them here on ModDB.
When the time has come for it. ;)

Next good news is:
Some basic functions of our planned energy system are already running.
The energy system will, for example, be implented into some weapons, firing plasma.
Also it can be used on some special suits to make wide (or high) jumps, to get to higher places.
Unfortunately the HUD isn't finished yet but we're also working on that one.
I was told that debugging with the console is a pain.


And now, some advertisement, because we want you.
Our current intern-alpha release plan says, that we'll use retextured citizen models from half-life 2, in order to have some half way decent place holders for future character models.
Most unfortunately, our team lacks a decent character modeler,
yes it even lacks a concept artist for characters.
There was no need for one until a few days ago and finding good people isn't easy these days.
So.
If you're interested, feel free to PM me.

Thanks for reading.
