Merc -finished!!

[Farley4Fan]

Freaking sweet!  Are we going to see multiple faces?  Has the gasmask been modeled yet?

Haha, I just saw something.  THere is a reflection of the guy taking the picture of the gasmask on its visor.  :D  Have you guys seen that picture where a guy was taking a picture of a pot to put on ebay?  He was naked and it was reflecting in the pot!

I have one version of the gas mask modeled already...which u see in the Maya screenshots already...but I am re-thinking it a bit because the mask has to inhibit the mercs vision slightly.  I also think it is very important to recognize when Merc has gasmask enabled so I am rethinking that a bit.


I recommend looking at Blade Trinity during the opening sequence to know the mask I am thinking of.

I know its merc's topic but is it only goodkebab who has the knowledge to do things like this ?

PS. It looks better and better

Goodkebab is a professional modeller. Most of the team are motivated amateurs and SC-fans.

And is there anyone who is responsible for new maps ?

Is there any possibility that anyone from the core team could make a summary of what's been done since day one?

Kebab and Zed make games for a living. Mr.Mic is going to school to do that as well. On top of that, all three of them are veteran SvM players who understand how the game works.

Not sure about the rest of the crew because I don't even know who's on it.

I made the Milestones-topic for that purpose. Of course, we've been doing some other stuff too, but the milestones are the most important things.

@spekkio: just take a look at the Members-list.

This is a game mod, so most of the real hard work has been done by using the Game Editor from Unreal Tournament 3.   That means there is a lot of existing scripts in the editor that we use.  Also,  because we have a CT editor we can do a lot of research on how CT was made.

Please also understand that most games are made just like this.  Artists provide the assets and the level editors and programmers assemble the game in a level editor.  We wont be able to add sophisticated code to the game because this is just a mod.  That of course means a lot of the existing suggestions like ranking, stats, or sophisticated gameplay or gadgets will not make it into the game because it is technically not possible for us.

All in all,  I have even more confidence in this project after seeing our scriptors put the spy in the game editor with animations!  The new engine allows us more possbilities then what CT has to offer. 

You also have to understand that this kind of project takes a great deal of time to do because we are all volunteering our spare time on this  -that usually means we dont have time to play CT anymore.

Goodkebab is giving the community a chance to offer feedback by posting images of the 2 player characters. The other modelers are working props and other items that don't require feedback. If you saw ALL the content ahead of time, that wouldn't be any fun now would it?  ;D

[goodkebab]

exactly...People really have a lot of opinions on how they want the characters to look -so better to get a collective feedback.

[a3c0i3d]

its just looks kickass. Respect.

[Spekkio]

Looks great so far. Question: what happened to mercs with short sleeves?

[B1nArY_001]

Hey, mercs need winter clothing too you know!
