Team Raptor would like to present a mod that has been in the works for a little while, Dino-Instinct, now a Half-Life 2 mod in production, was once going to be a mod for Half-Life "Classic". After going through an alpha and many members later Dino-Instinct moved on and decided to clean the slate and work anew with the Half-Life 2 engine. Dino-Instinct is a multiplayer HL2 mod where dinosaurs will fight to the death. (We may add game modes with humans at a later date) Players will be able to gain experience and level up to acquire new abilities...

Report RSS New Site Up!

It took way longer than anticipated, but the new site is (mostly) up!

Posted by on

I've been gone for the last few weeks (first vacation, then not having internet), but I'm back now. In the mean time, RaptorRed has gotten the new site up and running! The new site is much more modern, and has done away with the hideous font of the previous site.

The navigation is much cleaner and (I'm a bit biased here, with green being my favorite color) the new green-based theme is WAY better than the old red-based one. ;)

I'd like to take this moment to invite anyone who is interested in the mod to head over to our website DinoInstinct.com and join our forums. We always welcome community input (we even made a special area of the forums specifically for suggestions).

In other news - update on the alpha version: Coding: 94%, Modeling: 97%, Rigging: 0%, Animation: 0%
We recruited a VERY good animator, but we weren't quite ready to get him started right away (model wasn't ready yet) and I haven't seen him around lately (though I haven't exactly been around lately either). Hopefully he hasn't grown impatient and moved on. I'll go ahead and send him an email, but we may end up needing an animator if he's committed himself to another project.

My final thoughts are: rigging shouldn't take too long, and I won't even pretend to know how long the animating will take, but the alpha is getting somewhere between "somewhat close" to possibly even "very close", depending on how long the animations take.

Good god, I'm greatly relieved to hear this. I'm still worried about the animation/mapping departments though.. <8s
