Happy New Year

[Fuzzy]

Team Dystopia would like to wish everyone a happy 2006. To help kick off the year with a bang, we're gearing up to release Update 4. We're just doing the final compiles of the maps and will be giving the release candidate a thorough playtest. If there's no show stopper bugs found Update 4 should be in your hot little hands by the end of the week.

To give you an idea of how busy the team has been over the festive season, you can take a look at the huge change log, which I've just posted up in the coding .plan.

Also to get your mouth watering, here's a screenshot from last night's test session:

Its true, playtests every day make me a very tired person. All that keyboard and mouse clicking... god i need a sleep.

I get up early in the morning and test.

[Loki]

Ahhh, our solid foyer defence. Only penetrated when someone does something stupid.

[thorbinator]

[The Snee]

Happy neew year all. And get some sleep, you testing fools.

[duffy]

Yeah dudes ! awesome!

[nuNce]

Awesome!!!

[Sgt_Hobo]

Looks like a lot of fun.

[Sensenmann]

are there changes in the map dys_fortress? or is this only the version: dys_fortress_v2 ??

I can't wait =) !! good work guys!!

[urinal-cake]

dys_fortress_v2 were the Open Beta versions that were developed by TwinCannon, that since then has been given to the devs.

dys_fortress is redone and is probably my favorite map. Its now an official map.

Sweet at long last! (or not) just a question though. How may maps will Dystopia have when the new release comes out including vaccine and fortress. (my guess 6 at most)[/code]

Official maps? Three. Vaccine, Fortress (With lots of changes, it'll look like a Source map now) and Silo.

According to an old front page update, they're also working on Abandon, Connection and Urbanrisk (and who knows what else?).

True. But they're still in development Maybe on next update

[Sgt_Hobo]

Why wait for the next update if they'll be ready sooner?

[75thDeadMan]

can't wait guys. You can view Amped Dx update here -> http://dx.ampednews.com/?page=articles&id=12431

[urinal-cake]

Abandon, Connection and the other maps need a bit more work, or else they wouldn't be released.

That alls coming though.

[Sgt_Hobo]

They're close though, right?

[Lez]

...I wanna be a play tester now.
Damn me for not being quick of the bat.

...I wanna be a play tester now.

I guess the lack of people who wants to be play testers isn't the mod's worst problem

[Caliban]

We will be releasing an urban map pack after this update 4. The urban maps aren't quite ready yet, they are in testing however and we wanted to get a few new maps out for the time being.

Rest assured, it won't be long

[Ricky]

The second university ends is good enough for me.

And if its not like on the dot, I'm not kidding, i'll hire a hitman... Would you like that? HUH HUH? what? yah?? ohh.. your banning my ip fair enough.

[Caliban]
