26/June/2000 - What's been happening

Well, here's whats been happening.

While trying to write some of the step-by-step bits for my new UnrealEd 2.0 guide I decided I needed a bit more hands on experience with the editor. I got a flash of inspiration while watching a James Bond film for an idea for a level and thought, what the hell.

The result (as yet un-named) is starting to look very good if I don't mind saying so myself). I still need to play around with the textures (most of the level is done with only 2 textures!) and add some light sources, but I'd also like some feedback from you guys. So download DM-BloodPier from here (only 130K)! And let me know your feedback.

p.s. A p1mp for anyone who can either a) name the James Bond film (and scene) that I got the inspiration from ot b) give me a cool name for the map!

*** BREAKING NEWS ***

P1mps - Ta EpsCylonB for the first beta-test, and s/he got the movie right!
Also to Sinistrals for all his/er useful comments - Cool web site!

15/June/2000 - Another update

I've updated the Guide again, call it Part I + Part II, with Part III left to do.

The sites also had a little update, which holfully should be completely transparent (apart fromthe new logo top right)
If anyone has any problems with the site then let me know.

I've been p1mped! I've had over 400 hits in the last day and I'm chuffed to bits. Here are some of the sites that have carried the news of my new UnrealEd 2.0 guide. To say I was happy to be p1mped by VoodooExtreme and BluesNews would be the understatement of the year - I could hardly sleep!
