Monkey Surprise
I'm probably not the only one with an affinity for monkeys, that's why this surprise was so special for me. One of our mappers pulled a fully completed map out of his flea ridden hair. Personally I love it, but I am biased due to said monkey love, so I'll cut to the chase and let you see the goods.
Special thanks to some of hessi's textures and props which he graciously gave us permission to use. Quick status rundown; what was completed since the last update. There is too much to cover, but some noteables off the top of my head -6 gigantic bugs were squashed among others, no more game breaking bugs, hugely important -Lower body animations redone (run/strafe in all directions) -Hint prioritization, entire hint system is implemented -cloak effects for dx<9 -On the hud: Fortress points, teamscores, flaginfo without having to goto the scoreboard -lod for all player models in -New fully completed map: ff_monkey Biggest to complete: -lag optimization, which is where the follow-up news post comes in. -Upper body animations for all weapons/runs/idles redone, we've already seen some previews of DK's latest work and it looks promising. -miscellaneous art fixups -weapon alignment -training What does this all mean? Well, we're trying to get all our ducks in a row for release.

O_O would accurately describe my reaction upon loading the page. I loved the theme Maya had, and now it's back and better than ever in something I never would've expected.

Monkey is SO beautiful... It was really hard not to let that one out of the bag. It's gorgeous.

looks amazing
I'm really glad he's using the engine to make the map the same structure but an interesting and unique theme. |

Monkey features a few textures & models made by hessi, btw. I've lost my password or I would've edited the news post to credit him.
I love monkeys. |

Isn't that map just lovely. It's refreshingly different.

I feel so bad that I applied for beta testing and didn't notice this update. Man, the map looks gorgeous.
