Hi Everyone!
It's been quite a long time since we gave you guys any kind of an update and I'd say it's a safe bet to say that many of you have been thinking that we are sorta dead..? Right..? Well... For those among you that thought as much, I'd like to just say this... that we are still very much live and are still working hard at bringing you this Stargate Themed Unreal Tournament 3 Total Conversion!
On a side note tho'... It's sad to say... but It's true... that there has been a development team split recently (Incase you've already heard the rumors) and that some respective team members have broken away from our main team to work on another project... But even with the recent loss we are still extremely strong and still in development! So... The show goes on!
Anyhoo... While we wait on some more of our long awaited Maps to reach a high enough level and news worthy quality... We've decided to give you a little "Dakara" teaser featuring some of the modeling work that will be included within the map. This is thanks to one of our main modelers "Timunky"! He has worked very closely with the level designer responsible for the Dakara map (Ascended) and is willing to show you the proofs of his labours prior to the "Main" Dakara map update!
He's also agreed to allowing us to show you his amazing Goa'uld "Hat'ak" that will not only be used as Background scenery for Dakara, but will also be a boardable craft in one of our first Space Battle Missions where you will have the opportunity to fly to / board the craft and go FPS within it's interiors! Basically speaking... the scale of the model is monsterous, making the internal level design and game mode possible! But more about that later! For now... On with the images!

Of course, some of the above is WIP (Work In Progress) and untextured to a final degree... But it gives you an idea of the level of detail and attention that is being given to the content of each and every map we plan to produce!
Finally... We give you a shot of the Goa'uld "Hat'ak"

If all goes well and according to plan, our next news update will feature some of our first release maps that will include Dakara, Asgard Ship Interiors, Hat'ak Ship Interiors and more of the SGC.
So that is the news for now... In the meantime, I'd like to mention that we still require experienced Unreal Level Designers who are interested in the Stargate franchise and would like to contribute to our project. If you're interested in joining our team then please apply by sending me (Orion) a PM, and we'll take it from there!
Until Next Time... On Behalf of the SG:TEW Development Team... Thanks for your attention and your support!
Looks great... will have to pickup UT3 to play.. cool...
How did you all manage to do this ? 4 Stargate Mods News updates in a row !
Will you keep up this level of detail for all maps ? This is going to be a tremendous amount of work.
So, the player will be able to visit an entire Hat'ak battleship ?! And fly it ? I'm not sure how you would get this working without anyone's computer frying lol
I
I run ut3 on full graphics with 1680 X 1050 res and it runs perfect :D
I don't think i'll have any probs
I'm watching you!
Consider this as a compliment :) , please!
a must buy game when the mod is released
