Hello, Mr.sugar here!
I'm proud to release our very first dev. blog. Time have gone by and our very first media update is behind us and trust me, we were so nervous at what your reaction would be like. I can tell we are pleased to see the most of you like our work.
So, lets start about what to expect from 2010? There is a plenty of things that are going to happen. As the mod is progressing quite good at the moment and we have big progress on a daily basis, we might get into the playable stage by the end of this year! It’s awesome to see all the new stuff happening everyday, there is always something new to check out!
There is also a few things we would like to clear our for you.
Community events
Thanks to community events, we would like to stay close to our fans and appeas your hungry for more updates and also unleash your creativity and let you contribute on the content of our mod. We have no doubts there is a lot of talented people among you, so why not to pull out some stuff for us?
Don't worry, you will not stay unrewarded! It’s not decided yet, but here is a short list of rewards you can earn if you successfully participate we will probably offer:
1) Access to the beta/ or final build of the mod earlier
2) Exclusive media along with EVERY media update
3) If the content you provide is good enough, it will appear in the game.
4) You will be credited.
Everything is in your hands. We are expecting you will share your ideas about this event right here. It would be cool, if you also vote in the poll to see if there is enough people who may be interested in participation in such a competition.

Wow, thats one nice houndeye.
YES! An update =) I was insanely happy until I saw "end of this year" =@ ... This kinda broke my hype in one shot =( ... But it's awesome to see some progress, we BELEIVE in you! Keep up the awesome work
if you remind they have started from zero and a release in the end of this year is very early in my opinion
The question is if we are talking about release. You know, the fact we might get into playable stage doesn't mean we have to release it. Still, there are playtests, final optimisations and bug hunting ;)
but even this is very early
Indeed, but no worries, if the game won't be ready for release, we will keep it in development longer. We want to give you some awesome remake of BS, not incomplete and buggy one ;)
Nice, I love these "under construction" editor screenshots and architecture with dev textures.
Tracking.
-Ignore my post-
COOL COOL COOL!!! Good luck guys!
Wtf, who showed you textured Houndeye?!!
Nice new update!
Great media as usual.
Your remaking one of the best damn games back in the day and your doing pretty frickin excellent so I don't think you guys have anything to worry about on our end, superb job guys!
hoping for a demo in the near future :P
something like Half Life Day One
This is a really nice update! I look forward to the community comps. Somehing I might be able ot join in with!
I hate screenshots in dev version for Mapping ! Arf :(
It is very bad if you show mapping from .vmf file of the mod.
I prefer nice screenshots from the game and not dev map.. Mr.Sugar, you are maybe a friend on modding, Its my opinion for screenshots.. Sorry. I need more from your mod ^^
If you want help about testing or others, call me.
I'm free for write lines of your mod (example : orange box version, npc_bullsquid, npc_houndeye, npc_snark, and more if you want).
Houndeye and bullsquid looking good, now you need skinner and animator ;)
Good luck.
Tbh, this is not a media update, but dev.blog. We are showing not actual screenshots (for example, Houndeye and grenade are already skinned).
The reason we released such a media is that we want to give you some more insight to the mod development, more media but still not spoil the game and keep the other stuff for future media updates ;).
I don't see nothing bad about releasing such a screenshots. I find them very interesting and sometimes, it can reveal you much more that normal pictures...
Ok ok. If you want help for your mod, contact me on my messenger. I'm online today ;)
I'm more a of a dev work fan to tell you the truth. I always love seeing unfinnished work.
ummmm....nightwolf63....there are no textures on those meshes...they are screenshots of high poly meshes taken from within z-brush.
you can see bullsquid texture in the fist media update.
yeah, that's what i thought - but considering that he has both textured and non-textured models on his profile, it would be really weird if he actually mistook these for textured meshes...
wrote him a message, maybe he'll clarify what he meant.
it's not cool if we had a media leak...
