I've got some more work in progress images of the terrain/environment....should be about done with it. Also coded up an effect for when the camera/player is under water. Players can now swim.

There is so much stuff I'm working on...so stay tuned.

Environment WIP -



New drug / suitcase models that will allow some non-territory based gameplay to take place...like selling drugs, and robbing banks. You actually have to keep track of all the drugs/money. It's going to be dope ;-)



Only drugs in-game will be Heroin, Cocaine, Pot, and Ecstacy.


Some new guns...




That's it for now, more progress soon!

Hey Dan,

I just caught you post on January 2nd that showcased some new animations. I knew you've been a Milkshape guy (as am I) and I noticed that your screenshots are not from Milkshape. Are you using a separate technique/tool for character modeling or are those screenshots out of a homegrown tool?

Things look great! I've been watching this project grow for many years on this site.

I love the texture on your ziplock bags. That rock in the field also looks really good.

Heh, yea the game is getting pretty massive these days...4GB of HD space is required for the art assets alone. My working/resource directory is about 40GB.

Nit - Those screens were taken in 3DMax 7 Trial version, I use as an intermediary to go from MAX -> .x or MAX -> .smd -> .ms3d

Lol, dave we got an X there bro :-D

Thanks for comments guys.

lol, pink m-16/ar-15....sure thing :-D

OMG is that a SOCOM II M1A on the table???

I want that gun so bad, sucks it costs $3k lol. I've got enough toys, once you start owning a double digit amount of firearms...well, it's just odd lol.

I wouldn't mind that SOCOM II or a semi-auto HK G3 chambering .308s...mmmmmmmm.
