Psycho_Sam

Sam joined Mar 13, 2006

I am currently a student at Wolverhampton University in the UK studying Computer Games Design. I have just completed my first year of study after having done 2 years of Environmental Science at Birmingham University. I am an active modder with experience in public relations, level design, team management, recruitment and team organisation. I am currently a lead developer on the Mare Nostrum mod for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. I hope to gain enough experience through modding and Univeristy to work in the Games Industry after I graduate.

Report article Mare Nostrum 1.4

Posted by Psycho_Sam on Jan 22nd, 2009 digg this super bookmark

Well I had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year and now its back down to work for me. I had an extended break from Mare Nostrum and as I have to do a lot of day to day work on it I needed a break.

Well I have committed myself to at least one more patch and so now we are working towards 1.4. I have brought a few new people from the custom MN map scene on board in order to polish their maps and colaborate with the dev team. Hopefully we can get a fair few new or improved map for this release. Our new official maps should include;

Gazala
Sidi Rezegh
Marika Village
Crete
Road To Tunis

I myself am working towards my next map based on the Axis landings on the island of Crete. Specifically the area surrounding Maleme airfield. The EA team have been working hard to provide me some great static meshes, including;

Chapel
German Gliders
Drop Canisters
Bofors AA Gun
Olive Trees

I added some screenshots to my gallery, still pretty early on in development but they show the Olive trees in a nice tranquil setting. This might be the most beautiful map in MN when finished if I can do it right.
