November Update news - Banzai! Mod for Unreal Tournament 2004

Banzai!

Unreal Tournament 2004 mod | TBD

BANZAI! is a modification for the game Unreal Tournament 2004. It aims to be a simple, fun and easy to play game while bringing back the good old fashioned ’side-scroller’ gameplay. Inspired by many different side-scrolling games of old such as Castlevania, Contra, Ninja Gaiden, and Megaman, BANZAI! is a hail back to the old glorious days of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming. This however does not mean we are limiting the game to the "old school" looks. Our team works hard at creating something that's not only fun to play but also pleasing to the eye. If you like sidescroller platform games, anime-ish looks (and perhaps even a few puzzle elements ;) ) Then this mod might be something to try out.

Greetings all. It is now late november and out mod still isnt dead. so were doing well.

Both TN and Fustrun ar working hard on the musical aspects of the game, while drakk pulls his hair out behind the scenes of the crime deep upto his neck in code ^^.

I myself have been very busy with University work, and as i failed the last unit i will have to do the next unit of work whilst redoning the last unit that I failed equaling more work than you've ever seen.
I am currently in progress of setting up a new forum for our mod that you can all come to to speak to us if you feel like it, or just chill and talk about anything you like (within moderation ^_^)

The link to this forum will be given soon so you may join us then.

Xeno recently finished an enemy npc (none playable character) and is now working on a new gun for the mod.

Rukifellth is working on pics for a banzai Wikia page we will also be starting soon, so you can see all the characters in the mod and there bios. (yes ruki i know you need me to help you decide on colour schemes :P)

Suzumiya has been seriously ill and had to have an operation, she is now doing fine at home and must rest for a few weeks to regain her strength. YOU STAY IN BED! NO INTERNET FOR YOU! XP your on digidiet.

Here is a video made by our coder Drakk, demonstrating latest build of banzai.
