Above you can see a few screenshots of our work done so far.
Most notable updates slated for 1.12:

- Tiberium Spikes can now be destroyed to stop them from giving money to the enemy team. You can ALWAYS capture Tiberium Spikes with an Engineer or Saboteur, the Tiberium Spike does not have to be destroyed. An engineer or saboteur can always capture a building at least once.
- We have a new cool-blue Heads Up Display ingame (HUD)
- The Flame Tank and Scorpion tank have been added to the game
- When you press J and K for battle information the screen looks very cool with new icons and imagery
- We added new Win screens for GDI and Nod when the game ends
- Several bugs were fixed and/or scripts were enhanced

Future Plans
Infantry Upgrades
As you may know it is possible to upgrade characters with the Composite Armor upgrade.
Scanner Packs will also be available in the future which will grant the GDI Zonetrooper to detect stealth units within range.
Also Power Packs will be coded which will slowly heal the GDI Zonetroopers while they are standing still.

Vehicle Upgrades
Railgun Upgrades will also be made available to Tiberium Crystal War. We are still to develop the Railgun weaponry but the concept as we tested it, works! Some of you might have seen the video i made for demonstrating the railgun? You can view it here: Moddb.com
Though that video is not all that great, it does prove the concept of railgun weaponry will work in Tiberium Crystal War :)

Purchasable Defenses
All defenses in Tiberium Crystal War will be able to be built on demand. Either on static pre-defined locations or anywhere within the range of either a Crane or a Construction Yard.
They will cost the same as buildings in CnC3 and it will also take a few moments to construct them before they become operational - just like in CnC3.
The Guardian Cannon and the Guardtowers have been imported into the editor already but require some tweaking and additional coding to function correctly. You will see these structures appear ingame very soon.

New Develop Team Members
I would like you all to know that we have a few new members joining our Team a few days ago.
They are good at texturing, boning and mapping in the W3D environment :)
These members are -in random order- :

- Indiedb.com - Beta
- Indiedb.com - Good-One-Driver
- Indiedb.com - GenOBrien

We hope to deliver a good game :)
