Warm Gun: The Second Coming of the Wild West A futuristic wild west, Warm Gun combines the favorite motifs of the classic western genre with the scraps of an obliterated technocracy. World War III has been fought to the tipping point and ecologists’ long unheeded cries have been silenced by the grim truth of their predictions. To the last drop of oil have the world’s resources been depleted, and only sporadic traces of modern structure can be sifted in the dust. Time ticks forward but humans must retrace their advancement back, through a history that has already been lived and to the Wild West for the second time around. We have trampled ahead to the past in muddy boots, to the United States of late 19th century. Greeted by the ghost of the wide-open country, the exhausted land is barren too, of all the old dreams we fulfilled beyond our means. This spun western lets you create your own one-of-a-kind characters and unique gangs; choose from weapons new and strange and a wider range...

Ok so its another Friday and is time for...Whats been cooking in the Warm Gun kitchen. This weeks update has a little flavor from all over the place, we got Audio cookies...Weapon Soup and Animation Steak. (Not sure why I'm on the food tip)

So first things first, you can check out some new render shots we have of the Scouts crossbow...
The crossbow was designed by James Towne and modeled by Pieter Kuijt, it's a steam enhanced / modified crossbow that will be able to wreak havoc from long range.

We also have some test animations to show you guys... This is the Ak 47 reload and firing animations...they are just test videos but we like to get feedback often and early so here it is.


As for the Audio goodness...We have uploaded one of the many ingame tracks for your listening pleasure. This song was produced and composed by Micky Ogando, you can download it from Mod DB here... Moddb.com
Be sure to check it out and give Micky some feedback...he is on a real mission to bring the proper feel to the game.

As always the Warm Gunners are looking for more talented individuals to help out, so if you have what it takes to dedicate yourself to a team of die hards then by all means visit our forums and show us your work. Warmgun.ca

Have a great weekend...

Some might fine looking renders you have there. The music is rather cool, but I am a little early for to comment on the video (still processing). You really are showing that it isn't a wild west mod a such. I await the next update.

Yea its the second coming of the Wild West...the world is in total decay and people have reverted back to the western ways of lawlessness.

Interesting concept! What keeps it/is going to keep it from being like other really fast paced mods?

fast paced is fun though... why would you not want that? Besides, they should make it the right pace for their setting regardless.

I just saw the video and I like it. It would have been nice with some sound but you were really just showing off the animation. I think there may need to be tweeking to it when you get it into the characters hands. I also quite liked you animated logo at the end.

Awesome, really awesome.
Very nice animation, the crossbow looks great, and as already pointed out, inspired by BioShock, which is a good thing. Just make sure it doesn't resemble it to much :P
And I really like the music, i already added it to my normal playlist. But I'm the kind of guy who listens to the 300 soundtrack so I don't know how much that tells you xP
