Glad you enjoy it so much!
I'll keep you in mind if I start needing a mapper.
If you just want to do a community map (no involvement from me), send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you the fgd and models... If you were in the playtest though, I think you already have them!

Just to let you guys know, I just posted a video that shows some of the gameplay of Petrified (which might address some of the questions in this Podcast).

As soon as I have time, and as soon as I get some volunteer server ops.

Hasn't been moving yet. Hopefully things will pick up soon. My desktop computer has been out of commission since close to the start of the summer (motherboard killed itself). My replacement is arriving on Tuesday.

Haha, I love the enthusiasm. It keeps me going. ;-)

The link does not appear to work.

In fact, it was in original design to randomize statue placement. But, as Hyouko said, the statues currently serve to make some camping areas less desirable for the Mortals.

Yes, that was in the initial design though we didn't have time to implement multiple statue types. (Oh, the joys of time constraints.)

It is on the "would be nice" list, so if we continue working on this after we have fulfilled our college's requirements, you may get to see some new ones. ;)

Haha, I'm glad you like it.

Can't find your account. If you can put in at least part of the URL (like what goes after steamcommunity.com) that would help me find it.

Just a note. First playtest is tomorrow.

Your link didn't work. The rest of you have been invited.

Just a note- If you applied to be a PT after the last news post talking about this, you should have already received an invite. If not, post here and I'll send another.

It's good to have a map now. ;)

P.S.
The semi-transparent statue is a new UI feature we added...
When you are a Watcher, the statue you are controlling is rendered in that way so that you can see beyond it more easily. To your opponents you are still as solid as a rock.

"The watcher had a distinct feeling of omnipotence, but it also seemed mostly balanced." ~One of the other playtesters, on our feedback form.

Haha that's a good point, but it makes it easier to find it (and considering how many times I need to open and close it, that is a very good thing).

Ah yes, that was the plan. We forgot. ;)
I'll see if I can have my artist make a little somethin' somethin'...

I think that our design has solutions to a lot of problems that Suicide Survival had. If for no other reason, this will help Petrified to stand on its own.

Winter break just ended so we're getting back into this.
Play testing will begin in the next two weeks. Probably just local tests first (at our college), and then we will open it up to some of you online folk.
We will be putting up a news post soon to give you guys an update on what's going on.

Haha, you should see this animation in reverse!

Yup there was, see my previous comment. (from Dec 9th, 2008)

If Caliber ever gets started up again, give me a shout.
I have experience with the Source engine and would be willing to help with any programming.

That may or may not be a coincidence. ;)

The original idea was inspired by the episode "Blink" of Doctor Who, written by Steven Moffat. We have taken that single concept and greatly expanded on it while taking it in a different direction from Doctor Who.

We consider this mod to be an original game, not a Doctor Who tribute.

Be sure to follow us then, we will begin heavy testing probably mid-january. :)

Thankyou. :)

Unfortunately, the digger is going to be the last feature we implement. It may even end up getting cut due to time restrains, though we are planning on working after our project is over to actually make this game really something (and add any features we didn't have time for).

So you should start looking forward to the Lunger instead! Woo Lunger!

Actually, the statues can teleport when they're not being looked at. We will soon be doing some playtesting to actually see who has the advantage (watchers or mortals).
