For more than half a year there has been no updates on the project, except for a bunch of concept art. However, the development of the modification is still on.
Here's some news.
At the moment we did 6 levels from 8 planned. There is still work on scripting and props placement.
Models of new characters and mutants are under development. Here's some of them:
"Arbat Confederation soldier"
"Arbat Confederation officer"
"AC soldier and officer in action"
Arbat Confederation is the faction, which appeared in the Metro 2033 book and for some unknown reason was not involved in the first game.
"The Arbat Confederation is a moderate capitalist autocracy governed by Caucasians and non-Russian nationality traders. Besides a high number of Stalkers, little is known about this alliance. In the beginning, it had substantial power and population. During the Hansa-Red Line war, it was allied with Hansa. Although they gained the station of Lenin Library (later given to Polis), their forces were severely weakened and the population decreased over the years. With the unseen threat from Park Pobedy to Kievskaya that was only disposed of in recent years, people have been fleeing the station, which led the Arbat Confederation to install a soft quarantine regime on Kievskaya-radial (the blue line). Now the Arbat Confederation is nothing more than a weak Hansa satellite, dependent on their resources and protection."
