Mbilini Map
First off this announcement is a little overdue so apologies.
For the eagle eyes who are aware that we have engagements planned for Rorkes Drift, Isandlwana, Fugitives Drift, Ntombe River and the Hlobane mountain top, we'd like to announce that there's a new map currently in the making which we hope to have ready when we enable EA release.
Prince Mbilini was the chief who orchestrated the successful attacks at Ntombe and Hlobane but was fatally wounded after a skirmish with the British whilst trying to grab some cattle.
Hence, we've created a new MP map based on this event.
If you'd like to have a bo peep, there's a few new images uploaded on the store page which do include this map.
Other Stuff
For those interested in development stuff we're currently:
- Working on in game upgrades such as to Medic and engineer (your bots carry a shovel for a limited time)
- Ability to choose to host your own games either by dedicated servers or p2p hosting with options to filter in the browser.
- Adding new lighting and effects to enhance the landscape. The new map images show some of these
Some Repeated Questions
There's been a few repeated questions so I'll attempt to answer them here:
When will EA release happen
Its our intention that the maps and gameplay we release for EA will be playable and as best free of bugs that we can see. We are not racing to meet some publishers deadline so we'll release when we think we've met those objectives. Late spring is an early guesstimate.
Can I play Person X
Depends on the person but each player can choose from a combatant at the battle
Will there be Swords
Its a weapon not currently coded but is a task on our rather large development list. Will it be there for EA launch .... :\
New Media etc
After adding some new post processing effects to enhance the graphic visuals we are looking to add some new videos. We'll keep you posted.
Thanks.
