Diversity of game is that every team has different classes along with their exclusive weapons, special powers and abilities as well as style of gameplay, like offensive, defensive and stealth.

Hello mates, It's true that mod was dead for over year!
I take responsibility for this sad event, as i did all hard work you've seen on this mod alone, there was no team behind RTC. Sadly my free time was very limited and I couldn't bear all roles in mod development and then the project was halted and there was no-one who would have continued to work on mod.
Enough of sad news, now I'm here to form a team to return development to full speed.
The new Return to Church modification development team is recruiting for responsible & experienced:
Think you could do anything for MOD? Please don't hesitate to contact me!
You have unused content, such as: levels, models, props, textures that would fit this mod theme? Please contact me if you're willing to share.
I will continue to work on this mod as soon as I have free time. (I'm studying and working at the moment, so my time is very limited)
Thank you for reading through news of this mod! I hope there would be kind people who could help this mod!
If you have any ideas for mod, then I'm listening :)
Elitic,
The founder of RTC
Here is screenshots of new catacombs map sections. Screenshots of Molotov Cocktail in-game. And finished model of Werewolf, but untextured.
Development of mod has been already resumed. It's already 27th of September and I have new media update for you. Here is Werewolf WIP model, Molotov weapon...
Today I'm pausing development of Return to Church mod, But I'll continue modding after summer.
Here it is - the long waited update. It's been 4 months already since last update. Those months weren't very productive, however much was still done. ...
Looked at the pictures... looks promising. Keep it up ;)
Looks like a huge amount of blood.
Looks Good!
tracking !
Ok lads, I'm back, soon I will continue working on RTC.
THIS IS LIKE VAMPIRE SLAYER BUT WITH WEREWOLF tracking and happy
It's very likely that we will have option to choose teams when creating server or teams would be set by map already.
Example 1: We want play VS style (vampires and humans only) on map where can be all 3 teams. Then we choose to teams be only vampires and humans only. (and we are happy)
Example 2: We want play with beasts (vampires and werewolves only). Then we choose to teams be only vampires and werewolves only. (once again we are happy)
Example 3: We got map where one of three teams don't fit (it should be only werewolves versus humans only). Well, nothing special about it, teams are forced to be werewolves and humans and it doesn't matter if you choose to all teams or something else. (In the end everyone should be happy)
This isn't final decision, but it should be something like that.

Return to Church development has been paused until autumn of 2009. Because I decided to take a break at modding for a summer. As I wouldn't have spare time for modding. But in beginning of September I will resume development at 100% of available free time to release as fast as possible.(Well, not like releasing with half work done with bunch of bugs, but finished and smooth running mod.)
I'll be back after summer.
Be patient and Good Luck lads!
Waiting for this...
Really nice progress for a one man mod. Keep it up dude.
