Recruitment fever

We've had an almost unhealthy number of responses to the tech demo, resulting in a rapid growth of the development team. This enthousiastic response even surprised me. As a result, we can start to generate some serious content for the game. Work is now underway to setup the correct infrastructures needed to support the team. As a coder, this means I have to get my lazy ass back to work to implement the features needed by the new guys. I am confident that our next demo will show some actuall Remorse content in full action. The technology is almost there, we just have to follow our creative minds.

Engine Tech Demo

The second tech demo of the Existence 2.0 Engine has been released to the public. If you want to see the technology driving Remorse, take a look at it. We hope to receive a lot of feedback and maybe some new enthousiastic team members. To get the demo, go to the SourceForge page:
http://www.sf.net/projects/ex-engine
Or to the PhenomenaGames website:

Have fun.

Announcement: Media update

Stay tuned, tonight we will have some new media for you,
All I can say is that it will be something involving the engine.

Silencer speaks!

So, my first post on the Remorse development blog. I'm Silencer, the project leader and coder of the Existence 2.0 engine which is used for this mod. I will be posting updates on the engine's technology and its application. To warm you up a bit, here are some preview shots of the maps we're currently working on:

Modelling update

I thought I'd post another update so:

Here is a low poly render of one of the creatures that's gonna be in the game:


W.I.P as usual but it's coming close to its texture phase.

- 1 Character modeller
- 1 Weapon modeller
- 1/2 Concept artists

Here's a quick summary of what we've done/are doing so far:

Done:

-Primary weapon placeholder made
-.OBJ load function implanted
-2 Character models ready for textures
-2 Weapon models ready for textures

Working on:

-Story
-Timeline
-Engine .OBJ/Shadow problem:

Silencer:

"Joe told me about the bad performance with the character models in the engine. Today I found out that the shadow optimization is not functioning for OBJ models, resulting in 3*(trianglecount) of shadows to be generated. I'm fixing this now and the scenes with OBJ models in them should be speed up considerably."

-Uving the first real weapon model
-Working on another character
-...

Oh, I'd like to introduce all of the Team members:
