Viral Outbreak Mod for Half-Life 2 Another Media Update news

Viral Outbreak

Half-Life 2 mod | TBD

Viral Outbreak is a Zombie mod, no before you go on think that this is another zombie mod that won't get finished, this mod isn't looking to tackle a huge project but instead get a base and work from that so the public is entertained, so this means not that much time of development, and frequent patches on the mod to keep improving it. Viral Outbreak takes a new take on zombies, realism, you will have to work and rely on your team, this means sticking together and sharing rations and ammunition. As well you will not have a whole arsenal of rockets and mini guns and your disposal, instead weapons will only be available where they seam to be fit, so small city's and towns, rural areas, shopping malls, plaza's, etc will all only have limited weaponry, places like Police Stations and Army barracks will have some more advanced weapons available, an example would be the police station having more advanced shotguns and handguns available and army barracks having some assault...

Good News, we have finally got on track with a good coder and our skinning. Over the past weeks we officially recieved word that a coder with over Eight years of experience in the gaming industry agreed to help with the mod, as of right now he is scripting gamemodes and designing a complicated AI spawning system for the mod.

We have also had time to get some weapon models done, uv'd, and skinned. The great news is that as of right now we almost have zombie models done, zombie animations have been done for some time now, we are waiting for everything to be UV'd and Skinned so we have everything complete to run a basic internal alpha.

I'm not naming release dates here, but as it looks like we expect this game to run as a stable Alpha in a month or so, which means you can expect to be blasting infected with various weapons in the coming months. That's it for now, keep watching us for more updates and don't forget to sign up on our forums: Vomod.proboards75.com

The site should be finallized soon.

nice work and good news....a couple of things though, the images in your news post are thumbnails just small images :(...secondly from what i can see the WIP pistol texture looks good but i'd wait until you hav a full texture to show off before releasing shots (just my 2 cents). Anyway keep up the great work.

You say you have the zombie models almost done? perhaps you should have showed them off instead of gun models.

EVERY_mod shows off guns.

There's a thought, anyway ;)

We're keeping the zombie models until we have all of them done and in game, so we can be the first zombie mod to actually release in game footage, and the I know the skin WiP was weird to show I was just demonstrating that people are finally skinning and we're almost done.

Well we wouldn't mention it unless we were confident in our point in development, so take that as good news :P.
