Hey guys,
Just had a simple question. I was watching a trailer for beta 1 a couple days ago and noticed that Depot was in there.....it looked almost completely done back then and I was curious what happened to it? Did it just die or is someone still making it? If so, are you guys thinking about releasing it in beta 4 or something?
Thanks

Developer that was working on it got busy with real life stuff and we tested it a lot and it was just missing something. It was a nice map to play on but on multiplayer it had some flow issues. It is still in mind but has been put on the backburner until after the next release, but the actual release date of the map is still unknown. But like you said the layout was basically done it was just modifying it to work with multiplayer which takes a lot of time and testing. Runway is a perfect example of what goes into making a single player map multi-player.

Runway is also a perfect example of how long it takes to make a single-player map work on multi-player. I can't give a perfect timeline of how long runway has taken, as I'm sure sharpshooter can fill me in on, but it has been in development for quite some time now.

You know guys, that is really awesome that you are doing that. You guys are so professional and actually take the time to think out the level designs to make them very enjoyable. I really admire a team that does that. I am assuming that bunker is in beta 3 right? or is it undergoing multiplayer modification to make it better?
Also....I saw in the gameplay footage of beta3 that you guys were on stack...but was that library or just stack? Is that confirmed to be released in beta 3 also?
What about classic maps? Have you guys made any more classic maps since facility classic or library_Classic?
Also how is temple coming along? I haven't heard much about that in a while but i thought there was a couple screen shots somewhere...maybe I am mistaken. I know there was a temple classic in the beta 1 video...but I was wondering if you guys are going to make another one that isn't a classic version.
Sorry to drill you guys with all these questions...just unsure about them. Thanks.
P.S. I am also assuming that all the maps that will be in beta 3 are going to be in the updates. Is that correct? If so, I guess I can just wait to see if Temple, bunker, and all the rest I named above are in there. :)
Thank team for being so dedicated to this project. I am so excited. OMG this is long..I should stop typing..:)
P.P.S - smileys kick butt on the new forum layout. :):):)

I haven't seen Bunker in a long time.
Library.
None that I have seen.
I think it's in a holding pattern. The Classic is about.
Not sorry enough. But we'll make you sorry. Go cut me a switch.

I don't understand like 99.9% of what you posted VC. Was that even English? lol
-
..ok..I am confused...he must have done an insanely fast post lol. Can someone clarify or can you edit your post man? lol

Read your post so you know the questions you asked to which I provided answers.
And take less caffiene, it's wrecking your attention span.

Too long!

VC...I read it and it still doesn't really make sense...especially when you said "the classic is about"....about what???? I know you get sick of answering fan questions...but if you are going to make the effort to type..at least make it so you don't have to type anymore by making it understandable. :) Then people like me can leave you guys alone. lol

About is an adjective in that sentence, not a preposition.

Right now the only classic maps made are Library, facility, temple, and complex. We would like to do classic versions of more but that is just content and we need to get most of the game elements in before we focus on adding a lot of content.
In the gameplay footage that was Library Classic.
Temple is still being worked on by loafie but his pc recently crashed due to a processor or motherboard problem.
As far as I know bunker and depot are both being made by semedi (bunker was co-labbed with fonfa but that was an older version) and neither of them are set to be released in the next release. The upcoming release will have caves, facility, egyptian, temple classic, facility classic, library classic, complex, complex classic, cradle, basement classic, archives, runway, and control.
There are many unannounced maps being worked on that have been fun to see the progress on them and to test the revisions of them. I will not make any map announcements here on what is to come in the following releases.
But we will announce more information of what is in the upcoming release when the time comes.

Thank you for beating me to the post
-
Thank you for that information, Ryan. If I may ask, when you say Facility does that include Facility Backzone or will that not make it into Beta 3?
-
Facility means just facility. And just a little update I just found out facility classic may or may not be in the release due to semedi's absence.

Unfortunate that we will not be seeing Bunker (or "the bunker") until after BETA 3. Looks like the perfect blend of the film and N64 atmospheres.
-
I'm not too concerned; a pretty-decent Bunker Classic was created for Alpha by the users; I doubt we will be bunkerless for long.
-
Thank you Ryan for the explanation. :D

Heh..
"Bored, are ya? Lisa, go cut me a switch!"

I had one more question guys. Have you guys developed an alternate death sequence? I am hoping it changes to like a third person view death because getting hit by bullets and dying in beta 1 makes me want to vomit because of how jolting it is. I noticed in beta3 that it is similar sequence. Is there any way it could possibly be made less sickening to watch when playing. :D I am not sure if anyone else feels this way or not.
Thanks
-
There is actually a check box in multiplayer tab of options that shuts off the first person death cam. There are actually quite a lot of check boxes in there. But I don't feel like going into detail there. You will just have to find out next month.
-
Thanks Ryan. :)

This mod looks amazing. So jealous you guys get to test it out. Can't wait for the new version to come out in February to see what's happening with it!
