Some progress on the armour:

[jim]

It's getting more final... The belt and bandolier textures didn't fit in anymore, so I had to disable them from the renders, but they will be part of the character...



texture:

Yes, I think so. Maybe I'll do some other mod after this.

The armour got some update:



And the new texture:

Yet another video:

I'm demonstrating various features I've coded in: falling damage, monster jumping, monster swimming for "walkmonsters", twitching when shot to death & gibbable corpses (which were originally a hack to prevent them from becoming unkillable from the new physics code I added)...

I'm also demonstrating my new trigger_hurt (in the bottom of the pit), it can be turned on and off, has timed triggering intervals and can play sounds when triggered... there's a bit what's going on with weapons too; weapon setup, similar to Gunman Chronicles (just a text menu, which youtube messes up).

This time the video is very bright

If some moderator can change the title of this thread, please change it to:"Cold Reality Heat Development".

I'm thinking the release of a small patch will delay, because I didn't want to release a small patch. The desire to make it have new audio visual content was too strong, so I started doing some. Started from the visual side, as I felt most of my level textures were bad.

So far I've improved 2 texture sets and third one almost finished, which is more like complete redo of it.

Bricks & Tiles:




A new map I started after I had improved the bricks & tiles:




Blue Metal:




Ingame testing:

That's some awesome old skool style stuff, gotta love it! The lighting is real cool too, I can feel the atmosphere pouring out through the screenshots!

Although the texture work is nice, the hands in the view could use some work, they feel way too stiff. Perhaps not show them when not attacking? Have them come into view when you slash, but then it goes back out of the view in one motion.

Summer "holiday" over now.. back working on this.

I've got some idea that I will have different kinds of creatures for player to play.

Concept:




3d Render:

Now that I don't need to hurry for school, I've decided that I can have humans. I was going to, but ran out of time.

Anyway, I continued modeling my head and it got some hair, beard and minor improvements:



Some references:


After looking at these references, I noticed a lot errors in the face...


Today I worked on a rocket launcher.. slightly inspired of Armbrust:

[CocoT]

Goodness... that's awesome stuff, Jim!

[jim]

Heh

I've made a body now and removed some polygons... Currently at 3764, which is pretty good.. Need to do the mouth interior next...




The rocket launcher is updated as well:
