Hey all and I've come to add a little info about the mod so far, and some important things. Mainly the mod is going to be delayed. Yeah true. I do feel bad about it, however we really would like to release this with the new engine update included, due to many things being different in the new engine. Many things might not work the same or even act better. Therefore we would like to implement all this to really get things in a up-to-date fashion.

Also the Mod Will require Episode 1 and maybe even possibly ep2 for its benchmark particle effects. Yet we aren't too sure on that as of yet. However with that said thats the bad news. Now on to the good.


We've been featured in a little interview with Source Mod Magazine (SMM). The great thing is they are much of a little site starting, and getting into review mods out the mainly for the Source engine itself. However they haven't got a site just yet, so I'm going to post up the interview here in a day or two. They still need to get some things ready. These guys where great to talk to, and the interview itself sort of became an interrogation between the both of us as we ended up asking questions ourselves to even help you out on getting to know them. The guys over at SMM are great and we hope they have great luck with there work. So thats it for today, hopefully next post i can keep it happy and that will be good.

Oh and yeah its still Crunch time over here at Gear! So were very close to getting this tied up now. Thats another good news bit i suppose and with that im off. Time to slave with my mate Hammer. --Gear 17:20, 22 Oct 2007 (PDT)
