Bergen by Detoeni sneak peek!
Over the summer development has been going slower than usual, but we don't want to leave you completely hanging. While we are still wrapping our heads around a few issues blocking the next release, a sneak peek into the map-porting section might help lighten the mood.
These are work in progress shots, which means the areas shown are still subject to change.
The river ruin has been changed to give the impression of an outpost/guardpost and is now equipped with an alarm box to call for reinforcements, a bench to rest, a furnace to keep the coffee flowing and a footlocker for energy bars and magazines.
In this ruin the openings have been widened to make access and travel easier. Aside from some wooden frames and planks, that's it.
Added some camouflage netting to make the bunker system less obvious to enemy spy planes.
Added a bit more functionality to the forward bunkers with additional footlockers, gunracks and alarm boxes.
The back entrance bunker has been a bit 'stream-lined', the room is now a rectangle with the doors directly facing each other. The health and ammo cabinet shown here is simply due to the fact that there is no working script right now. They are part of the LMS version and are also featured in the original Bergen. In Objective mode they are not present.
Here you can see the corridor connecting the back entrance with the submarine bay.
This is it for now. We will try to provide you with these kind of sneak peeks a bit more regularily to keep the anticipation high and the spirit flowing.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

These all look fantastic, in the future how many maps are you planning on porting?
Thank you very much. We think that the next few maps should be the standard maps, but the list is long.
However we have to be realistic. You need to plan roughly half a year per map and right now we have not enough people to work separately on maps.
Which map would you like us to port?
Amazingly impressive stuff ahead. Keep-it up mate.
I'm always amazed by the quality of your work as well as ET:L's potential.
Thank you very much for your kind words! Looking forward to your project as well.
