Zone: Weekly Wrap Up #2 news

And now for The News

So the news lets kick off with characters and customisation, now we were going to have a large amount of character customisation within Zone but due to development limitations thus has unfortunately been changed. But to compensate we are still letting players choose how the look (sort of) like other games on UE3 (not naming names) you will be able to pick your default character for each team from a selection of player models from each team, there will also be special packs where you can gain access to other versions of characters from each teams. Also as a bonus the UEGA player models will be the characters from the story we are working on (not from this game). So you get to see a sneak preview of the looks of them.

In other News

In other news (yes i used the title to kick of my paragraph, so what?) we now have Twitters @AngryFacing on our team now working in a social and PR position, so look out for his tweets on our Twitter feed and also give him a follow! Next in the news we will be pushing out more news more frequently through Indie DB to keep you better in the loop, we will also run some key plan changes through our updates (like we have done today) so you can see some of our key design decisions and also understand why these changes have been made. As we are growing our forums feedback and ideas are welcome there to help put your point forward (we may take it and use it too).

Fast and Low

Right short news updates hitting this area hard and fast. New maps are underway as old maps wrap up (details of maps will come later in the year). We have new designs for weapons replacing older weapon designs to add a more iconic feel to them. We will be welcoming new team members to our team over the next few days as well as starting a spotlight series on existing developers. We have welcomed 2 new community legends to our forums as we try to attract more members to them. Next week will see us detail the shadow and mythic packs through our site and detail how they will become accessible. And finally the last quick update is that we are still taking applications for certain developer positions so send an email to us at jobs@xitol.co.uk

Retail Details Episode 2

Last update we signed out on a positive note that we were finalising some content for Retail and that we were soon to be announcing all the content and features in retail as well as our estimated RRP. We have not yet come to a decision on these points yet and we welcome ideas and feedback on these points. We want to hold out longer on these details so that we make sure we have these ideas right and so we can identify what content will be available and where to focus more on at the current point in time.

Over and out

Thanks for reading and we will keep you posted, if you can get more people to find our project too we will appreciate it a lot. - J45PER
