Greetings all!.
I come with some updated info on The Crucible's progress.
Firstly, sorry for the delay in giving you info on what we are up to, we've been quite busy, with what I cannot say.
While i personally have been busy with mostly The Crucible, and i'm please to say that it's in it's final stages. We should have some kind of release out in the near future, we just need to test various things first.
At any, here is a new features list:
-The UI has been redesigned for the third time now, and given a grey and red theme, the functionality has been improved and made more unique.
-Awesome Gore with all the trimmings, Spatters, Dismemberment, Drips, Sounds, and an Explosion cloud.
-Lightning gun included, has some neat gore effects for it too.
-Per character family gibs
-Improved map visuals, Light Shafts, Bloom, Sharper details, Lightmass, it just looks AWESOME!
-New and improved pickups, Armor and small Health, although not much has changed.
-No Road Rage gametype, sorry but it had to go.
-No Team Selection, instead now uses a count of up to 6 teams per game
-No Team customization menu
-Cleaner settings system, removed unused and unneeded settings.
-No UT/UDK content, no pickups, weapons, HUD, gametypes, or aything that's from UT3.
-Less UTness, more unique style and look.
-Improved keyboard functionality in UI scenes.
And some pics to help you grasp the changes, sorry about the size, i had to scale them down:
The new UI's main menu, you can clearly see the general theme of it.
A more technical UI menu which shows how it generally looks and functions.
Thanks to the newer UDK, and some awesome work from SB, our maps now have even better lighting and Light Shafts, which you can clearly see in the top left.
As you can see, we have made a few changes, although there is alot more work to be done before The Crucible is feeling and looking right, it's closer than it's ever been, and i think you'll all enjoy it.
