New Talent - cheney

Our search for a Map Texture Artist has been at least partially fulfulled. Please give a hearty welcome to cheney, the newest addition to the FF team. He's quite talented and is a nice guy in general! And the FF mappers rejoiced.

With All This Rain...

With all this rain we've been getting, our canals are nearly overflowing. The trepids tell me there's still some room for the water to rise, but if you don't trust them (and I know I sure don't) take a look for yourself:

Map: cz2

Demo what?

dr_nick and rebo have an interesting relationship, but their efforts produce fruitful results. They need one another, as shown in the following dialog:

dr_nick: rebo, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. Remember that?
rebo: That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.

As a result of dr_nick keeping rebo's head intact... here we have a quick and agile creator of massive explosions and devastation. I'm not talking about rebo, anymore; I'm talking about everyone's favorite demolition man:

Unskinned model & colored concept art

ah ah amazing

woot!

<3 schtoofa

i love the squinty eye, the cig and the strap of bombs!

something tells me this isnt the "big" media update though... hmmm.. i wonder...

o_ivaqual · 05-23-2005, 12:36 AM

excellent work

i must admit that i was expecting something bigger but FF media updates are never enough

o_sobe green · 05-23-2005, 12:52 AM

Is the Demo holding the mirv just for looks or will this be something we are going to actually see? That is a mirv right?

Its looking good. I'd almost think the same concept artist is the modeler. Rebo and Dr Nick go together like sex and pancakes. Yummm

Defrag · 05-23-2005, 12:54 AM

It's just a pose. Actual gren-throwing mechanics will be like TFC.

o_zorro · 05-23-2005, 12:56 AM

ive been waiting to see the demo

looks very cool, oh and of course CZ2 looks awsome

So this means we won't see the demo trow the mirv?
Simply wow with the Demo, and same goes with CZ2

o_ivaqual · 05-23-2005, 01:01 AM

with a decent team cz2 is definitely one of the best maps around. getting a spy to open the enemy doors so you can enter as demo and blow their command center is as rare as fun.

TFC has no gren-throwing mechanics :P

Players 'birth' grenades from their belly button. Muahahaha. A pal of mine who is a CS freak always commented on how daft it was but I told him TFC wouldn't be TFC without it. Plus ability to prime and shoot at same time is much more fun and frentic then say CS or even HL1 & 2 DM's laborious 'equipt and throw'.

Anyways. Excellent work chaps. Lovely to see such a big dev team actually working well together and geling as a team.

I expect lovely stuff over the summer. Keep it up!

o_sobe green · 05-23-2005, 01:05 AM

Also are those new textures on cz or HL2 textures? Its hard to tell from here.

o_balls · 05-23-2005, 01:06 AM

looking good guys

. CZ2 looks like its gonna be a corker! And btw, CZ2 is one of the best maps for clan matches ;D Pure 8v8 dm for 30 minutes

.

Demoman looks cool too, cant wait to see what he looks like with textures

o_monkeystevie · 05-23-2005, 01:13 AM

That cz2 pic is outstanding, good work trepids, can't wait to see the rest of it!

Partially fulfilled? what's partial about it?

o_jared-tm- · 05-23-2005, 01:16 AM

Trepid's are my idols! Demoman is looking wonderful as well :]

PHISH · 05-23-2005, 01:34 AM

cz2 for doom 3...jk :P

Looks good so far, but I might try some different ambience.

of course, the best of all possible worlds would be, if each player actually had a seperate animation for firing with one hand while throwing a grenade.

but that is quite a bit to ask

o_cruor · 05-23-2005, 02:05 AM

WOW! No further comment

Well maybe just one, Rebo you might want to broaden the space between the demos grenade belt support straps or whatever it's meant to be. Otherwise the bomblogo won't fit or will be to small

o_jerm · 05-23-2005, 02:19 AM

looking good. Dr nicks drawings don't look anything like the model. which is a good thing.

cz2 looks too dark for fortress

o_koochy · 05-23-2005, 02:26 AM

Once again, I am dumb-struck with awe :D.

Hooooooly crap I can't wait to play this game :D!
