Making a ton of progress on the game...as usual. Puttin in 16 hour days....just chillin' here working on the game. Gotta get it ready for beta.

Everything is falling into place, I'm about to go put the Master server/game servers online in a day or two. They'll be sitting on a T1 line, it's being installed today (11th).

I'm having to essentially re-do every part of the game since I switched model formats. I just made a lot of progress on the animation blending. Also I converted all the old weapons to use the new model format, and I had to wrestle to get them hooked onto the skeleton. There are 13 weapons in the game right now, and 53 different interactable entities total.

I forget all of the stuff I've added into the game today, the list would go on forever. I've got a few more crucial days of work left until the first major testing of the game will occur.

I'm really a fan of anti-aliasing all of a sudden, especially at lower resolutions like 800x600. I'm suddenly sold on it. Thanks to Laz for reminding me to add it into the game, otherwise I probably wouldn't have :-) All of the screenshots below are taken @ 800x600 with 4X AA.

Look at the car screenshots from the last entry also...they rock [grin]

If Counter-Strike:Source can get away with 2 player models per team, I can do with 3 per gang [grin] I realllly need more player models.


Damaged car...note the reflections. And ignore the missing brake rotors [grin]


Phew...that's it for now.
