During the last month we have been doing a TON of work, we have merged with VG Studios (we're still InterWave Studios), we updated our web server, we fixed up our project manager, merged our forums with VGS' old forums, what else did we do?
Oh yeah! We also did a ton of work on Distant Hope too!
We've done some hud concepts, we did an internal playtest of what we have so far (things are looking good), and throughout the development process we're going to be testing the plugin SourceMod's compatbility with Distant Hope to ensure those who wish to run it, can. Along with all this Xanthi (our lead mapper) has been very hard at work at our first map, and it officially has a name! Here are some new screen shots from dh_manhattan!
And, for those of you who've been wondering what some things might be looking like in terms of players, here's a hand/glove concept art.
Those darn European cars taking over our lush American streets =<
Kidding. I like the architecture; it actually looks like a -real- city!
nubs not for masturbating.. hehe i get it T_T... humour.. tracking mod.
Europe will rise again through the littering of our cars upon US soil. I like that map, there is this eerie sense of loneliness about it. And one which isn't dependant on it being nightime, which I like.
Fog is dominent on map!! :(
You need add details and more props on street.
This is still in the brushwork phase it'll go in this order
brushwork, props, textures, lighting, optimization.
Obviously some of these things overlap in the process. For instance, optimization and brushwork actually go hand in hand.
Also, japanese and european car sales in the US as of right now outnumber that of american built vehicles.
Nice media, if you add new car models would be better.
We are going for all custom art. We don't want this to LOOK like its HL2 but re-worked.
That sounds great!
Once we end up with new car models we will ;). But for now we have to use the fillers.
was "manhattan" mis-spelled deliberately?
great work btw. i like the gloves concept. (lol)
the maps look very very nice. but one problem is the city fells so empty. I hope to see more stuff around. like random adds on some bus stops and so on. like fill it out with more stuff... sorry for the bad english.
Yea, ofc. The map is still work in progress. We are still working on assets to include inside the maps. The screenshots are more a show of the layout than anything.
