24 Nov 2000

- (code) Pistol now fires bullets
- (code) removed Handicap Damage Scale (was giving 3x damage due to the value of 300 for PERS_MAX_HEALTH - This was a bug in RiscIt's code... We'll slap him silly tommorow!)

11/22/00 - Got the site back online (for the most part) and we're ready to roll again. Cgg has done some great work and I'm in the process of rounding up help. Interested?

Songs:

3 new in the works, all new. 1 other being taken from my personal project. Will have clips to post soon.

Sounds:

Might be doing some new sound effects.Trying to figure our what the hell I can use to do the fusion pistol. I wanna make sure the new sounds are hella-beefy compared to the old ones.

Personal life:

If anyone cares. I just got a new frog. He ate my newt. He's a bastard. My finger is infected underneath the nail from where my cat scratched. Makes it hard to play guitar. I hate cats.
Female vocalist went to mexico before recording was done. Need a new one. Vocalists are fickle. Gotta work tommorow. Work sucks. Bungie was bought by Microsoft. I want to die.

Modeling - Goatman (James Gatzmere):

Last Update: 06/21/00
06/21/00 - Well, hello all. I've been asked to do some character modeling on this project. Between work and more work, I hope to model several of the characters from the series, including the bobs, a few different versions of the marine, and some of the aliens. I've done one version of the marine, and plan to start on the "official" version very soon. I'll pass the first off to Exodus soon so he can start skinning it and we can get a screen shot up. I'm pretty excited about this project, even though I never played the original series, nor have I ever owned a Macintosh (shame on me). Hopefully the other guys will keep me in line.

2D Art - Exodus (Edward Easton):

Last Update: 06/26/00
06/26/00 - Things are looking up as I can now actually spend some reasonable time on the project since my exams are over. Many thanks to Goatman for picking up the modelling stuff - learning MAX from scratch was a nightmare, though Ithink I'll still have a stab at some of the weapon models. Starting work on shader files for hud icons etc, and will get the marine skin from Goatman sooner or later to work on. *Ex out*
