Hellsmash Progress Update

[Dr. Shadowborg]

It's been a while since anything's come out from me on this end...

So, here's a teaser of what I've been working on:

Getting closer to an actual release, I still need to redo abilities, armor leveling through collection of SCs, and FBX Weapon / Class Skill Usage stuff.

But that said, certain persons MAY get an early christmas present release after I finish with the armor / abilities issue.

Someone stole my cards!

Looks interesting, but what is the mod about?

Don't look at me. I handmade the face part of the card skin and 100% of the soup vending machine.

Right now, the focus is on getting the basic stuff down, and working singleplayer multiplay, but eventually, this is really meant for single player. (I may add gamemodes for multi, and perhaps a minigame or two for single.)

The epic, old school tale of four or five inside3d slipgate adventurers who wield special abilities, weapons, (22+ or so weapons between all the characters, some of which have THREE attacks!) six different carriable items, mapper attraction features, quake community member cameo appearances, humor, and heavy focus on fun gameplay.

If I were to describe it in terms of a recipe:

2 1/2 pounds of Quake goodness. (Gibs, destruction, you know the drill.)

1/2 cup of ROTT, cubed (Simplicity and humor rules!)

Teaspoon of Hexen (character classes, with different stats, abilities and weapons.)

Dash of Malice (Badass stuff)

Tablespoon of Quoth (because everybody loves a little more lovecraft)

Pinch of Unreal, Quake II and Serious Sam (Universal Translator meets Objectives / computer)

Season with Strife to taste.

Simmer in pot, then serve and enjoy!

If that was an insufficient description, then you'll just have to wait until it comes out to see for yourself.

Strife: Quest for the Sigil? So your mod will have character development and talkable NPCs?

Strife: Quest for the Sigil?

Yes, though to me it has always been "Strife". For there is no other.

So your mod will have character development and talkable NPCs?

If by character development and talkable NPCs you mean collecting and spending collected SCs to upgrade your armor abilities, Healthpoint maximums, and quake community cameos, (which can range from a hidden object with a message to wall portraits to NPCs) then YES.

But before you get all hyper about this, keep in mind that I'm going for better gameplay rather than better GFX, all of which functionable in Stock Winquake. See below regarding some of the aforementioned objectives computer stuff.
