Post news RSS Quick Engine Update

Lately me and a few friends have been thinking on whether or not to change game engines.

Posted by on

Well I was having a discussion with some friends on whether or not to change the mod from a Source Mod to an Unreal game. I would be using the Unreal Development Kit so it would be its own game. This has advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage is better mapping tools, graphics, particle effects closer to what I need, and all modeling work can still be ported to it instead of Source.

Disadvantages include that I will have to learn a new mapping set, a longer delay in updates and mapping, and a restart of any mapping done. Those who don't like my early WIP mapping work can now sigh in relief as I will decide to wait for maps to be more fully developed.

So let me know if you think this is a bad idea or I will go ahead and do it anyway. As always positions for the team are still available. If you would also like to help out in a lesser sense then read here Moddb.com .

That is all. I would just like to say that more work will be done soon as it is almost summer.

If you need someone to help you out with the materials or making some models or even making some maps, i can help.

I have a lot of experience in Unreal and their developers kit.

Do it... seeing as I don't have halflife, I'd like a standalone game.

Yeah half of the reason that I'm watching this is because it's on Source. If that changes I really won't want to follow this mod anymore.

Unreal Development kit allows you to make your own games so that UT3 is not required.
