New Map: TooUrban
Last month Jehar got to work porting a beloved AQ2 map: urban2. It's currently not fully arted, but it's ready for a fresh coat of blood to put it through its paces.
It's urban, also
New UI System
Reki and Classy have spent the last several months overhauling and replacing the existing UI framework with a new, more flexible solution. Alongside this Jehar has been making new designs and assets for a more polished look.
Ooo, aaah, shiny
What this means for you
You get a nice shiny UI! Which makes way for upcoming important game mechanics. Woohoo. The downside of ripping out and replacing a large chunk of the existing game's code means a lot of older legacy gamemodes no-longer work properly. Currently we are only officially supporting Action and Jump, but after QuakeCon we will be working diligently to restore and revamp the rest of the gamemode roster.
New Skins
This update features new skins and revamped existing skins/models. This nearly concludes our replacement of fully-placeholder weapon models in the game. While not all of these assets represent our final vision for the art direction, they at least are a large step in the right direction. Grimm was hard at work last month making a new MP5 mesh, and Jehar textured and animated it to replace our existing placeholder.
Our new lovely blue MP5A4
Additionally this update includes our celebratory "Generations" skins, which were available to patrons purchasing swag packs at QuakeCon 2024. This set features the debut of the iconic CAR-15 replacement for the Assault Rifle, for all you nostalgic M4ers out there.
You snooze, you lose
