Wooo!!

Thanks again :D :D I'll make sure to spread the word!

Your soundtrack is rated as the 27'th best album of ALL TIME (user rated) on SputnikMusic! That is better than (according to SputnikMusic):
- Pink Floyd - Animals
- The Doors - The Doors
- All Godspeed You! Black Emperor albums.
- The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
- All Tool-albums..
... The list goes on and on..

THAT is pretty impressive!

I must say I love the soundtrack, even tho I haven't found the time to play NEOTOKYO° yet!

Lol!

Well then! Very very nice ;)

Looks like each leaf is a polygon... Which means there is a lot if them -> worse performance, -.- .... Or am I wrong?

I love the screens tho.. But I kind of have to agree that the ivy inside an isolated place like this... is unrealistic. I know some of you guys is at polycount, and they would comment on that right away. However, it's no problem.. Looks great etc..

Very very good! My only crit would be that the spec is a little to intense compared to the real life photos. And some obvious windows is missing, but I guess it is a WIP anyways ;)

Ever thought about Daemonicon on Steam Greenlight? I would vote in a heartbeat.

You *really* should work more on the textures. But I'm guessing this is a wip anyways. Well, I'm gonna be brutally honest here... The weapons and characters does not look good. The environments on the other hand! They look amazingly holy-crap-good! I would say... That the textures overall need some more work. Add normalmaps! Anyways.. Good luck! (horribly written comment, sorry about that)

Yeah.. Anyways.. Even thou I would guess you have modeler, I would be glad to offer my help if needed ;) ...

You should try to get it released as a game like Dear Esther was! It definitly look as good as DE, maybe even better. Especially now that Steam Greenlight is launching. Then again you would have to get tid of all the Valve content in the mod.

I vote 1...

You guys really need some more publicity! At least if you are planning to sell the game. But then again, I don't know how far in the development you are ... Good luck anyways, it looks really good so far!

Thanks :D

Thanks :D

Ah! Ok, tried to make the material switch between two variations of the same texture (one with slightly different size), but it didn't work that well. I guess it will be less noticeable when I add grass and rocks. Thanks anyways ;)

Thanks ;D .. Gonna try to add some foliage and texture variations.

Anyway, when are you back? DDoS isn't going fast.. You should make a group (skype, etc..) so the whole team could chat. But I have already told you this..

Alt for mørkt ;)

Når du gir modden ut, vil du luke bort alle HL2 / CS kildefiler slik at ikke modden blir flere gigabytes?

This is (like) really good! Haven't (like) heard of any of these games before (Except Siege of Inaolia). :D

Btw.. Do you have any tips on how to get rid of the tiling?

I made a height map in mudbox, imported it into world machine and masked where the different ground textures shold be (like grass, sand and rock). However, the shader propably have way to many instructions at the moment.

I followed Wenda111287's tutorials: Youtube.com

Thanks ;)

Hi! The pictures is looking absolutely brilliant!

Ony thing keeping me from donating is that it's third person... I have a deep love for unique FPS-games, as Out of Hell was. It did work very good there, so i don't see why you choose to go for third person here... But we all got different taste anyway ;)

However, I wish you good luck! Perhaps I will donate after my pay for the month comes ;)

Ah! Thank you! :D

Hey! You wouldn't be interested in doing a timelapse of your workflow? Since there is noone out there, and I'm really struggling with the UDK...

And I must say, your blog is very interesting to read ;)

I am having the strangest bug ever!.. Each time the game loads, the current CD in my PC runs for about 2 secs.. I currently have a music CD in it, so I hear 2 secounds with El Caco each time the game loads !! It's not annoying or anything, I just want to figure out whats causing it.

The day isn't over yet. It's 20:30 in Sweden now.

Ah.. ok, thanks ;)

Erm....... Did the release thing on the top banner change from 22 feb. to TBD?? Or has it always been TBD?

Looking good :D.. Still, I do miss some more props and details. As well as custom textures. And something that would help the looks of this; post-processing ;)

That was probably the most beautiful game I have ever seen! I loved every second of it!

Ok, I have been following you guys since Christmas. First off, great improvement from the previous pictures. Still, there is a lot to complain about. First of, you probably should work a little more on details. The windows for example, replace those with real props. Try to rotate blocks, create arcs, add more models and add things like ropes to get away from the blocky/square feel. You can see what I mean here: Youtube.com . All your pictures are missing details. And I don't think it's an excuse to just call them WIP's and post anyway. Think about what you post; if it's a good picture it will generate expectations and additional trackers. If it's bad, people will turn away.

Another thing I noticed about these pictures is that you do not use 3d skybox. It will really help improve the look on the pictures. At least, if you are gonna create a town, I expect to see some buildings in the background and not just empty skies.

You seem to only be using the HL2 default textures, which everyone has seen 1000x times before. To get more trackers, you will have to show something unique.

Last, but not least; the whole concept seems way to ambitious for developers like yourself. To get this working you will need a coder with much experience. And they are hard to find, especially for a mod like this.

Anyways, good luck. Regardless of all the trolls in here that downvotes all positive feedback and upvotes negative, I still think it will be interesting to see how this develops over time. It's clear that you guys don't have that much experience with hammer as for example the people behind Visage or NH2 (etc.), but I really don't think many of "the trolls" could do any better ;).
