Hi, dear followers!
I'm glad to report you about few more steps, that our team is already passed by. Let me speak then!
1. All game maps are finished to props placing step. This means, that we already have maps, that are textured, lighted and all models are at their places. Next what we will do, - is to place weapons and zombies into maps, what will make them playable! CAN U BELIEVE IT? PLAYABLE MAPS OF THEY HUNGER REMAKE!!! I don't know how fast this 'zombies placing' will move, but anyway, we planning to finish this step into 1-1,5 months. So, potentially, there will be some videos with gameplay at the next update.
Also, I' posting some screen here. This is a smoky view of volcano, that appears to be 'Devil's Rift'.
2. Also, I was able to finish some custom sounds recording at my home studio. Which also, means that our remake already contains ambient sounds! (Yes, yes, my dear players, sounds is the one of important part of every good game; try to play in some good shooter without it and you'll know what I'm speaking of.) Below, you can see, me during recording process. Thanks to our textures photographer, to this simple shots.
So, that's all for now. I can already see the end of the work, but there is still lot of it!
good job man, this mod will kick ***
Really hope so ...
Is this / are you Neil Manke?! :O Can't wait to see what comes either way :D
No, I'm not a Neil Manke :) I've just started this remake until more guys are come. So, for now, there is about 5 people in team.
It sucks that the They Hunger Neil was going to make as HL2 just came out never saw the light of day. A remake of the original would be respectable instead. Good luck, there is lots of work to do.
Yeah, I was such disappointed, that started this remake myself after 7 years of waiting.
Who's that professional developer you're talking about?
According to the descriptions in your team member list, the term "professional" wouldn't apply to anyone there.
For me a professional developer is someone who works/worked in a game developing company, or was involved in a commercial game production before.
Seriously, there's nothing wrong in beeing not (yet) a professional game developer, so i think it's unneccessary to claim to be/have one.
It only causes higher expectations on the final game and people could be disapointed with the end result.
ОК, there is potentially some misunderstanding. A word 'professional' is attached to all the phrase '... developer, designer and composer' and means that some of these people are involved in specified type of activity as their primary workplace.
That is true, that nobody of us is a real expert in gamedev, but is also true, that we set a goal to create a mod which will look qualitatively enough to become a worthy remake of it's original, made by true professionals (Black Widow Games.)
> It only causes higher expectations on the final game and people could be disapointed with the end result.
As for this, - you may be right, so I'll just change word 'professional' to 'skilled'. Anyway, I think, that all the mod followers see our work and may put their own assessment.
