Post news Report RSS Episode 2 - First facts

It's time for some first facts about Episode 2 and how Episode 1 will be continued.

Posted by on

The current status of Episode 2 is very good. Far away from a release but it's playable ;-)
Actual I'm working at Level 12 out of 15 or 16 level. But most maps have just the basic layout without details and scripts.

Now you think 'WTF? Episode 2 is as short as Episode 1?" NO!
The level in episode 2 are more than twice as large as in episode 1!
Now a simple example that this is true ;-)

The filesize:

You see ... even the filesize is grown up :P

Episode 1 was like a big interactive intro for Hazardous Materials. Episode 2 will include more action, scripts (really big scripts!). In EP2 you will also get an idea about why the Mod is called Hazardous Materials.

Now all in short:

  • 15 or 16 Maps
  • more action and scripts
  • improved leveldesign and larger levels
  • more story as in EP2
  • seamless connection between inside and outside level
  • feeling to play in a real facility
  • EP2 will include an improved version of EP1

More Screens will follow soon ;-)

stay tuned
