Welcome to this week's blog guys. Let's get this ball rolling.

Soviet Refinery Walkthrough

dtrngd has completed the interior for the Soviet Refinery and has gotten it ingame to walk around in. This evening I took the map and made a quick walkthrough video for you guys. You may notice that the Refinery has no minor weakpoint. This is because the War Miner affects credit income when the enemy faction destroys it. So the Miner is the minor weakpoint if you like. However, it's not linked to the refinery's health in any way.

Also, the no elevator policy we are running seems to be paying off.

Take a look at the video on youtube below.



Also, download it from here if you want a better quality video.

We had a Conflab

Well, we had a conference on Saturday which was pretty cool. We got just about everyone to turn up and we
reminisced about the times of old. Better is the fact that The_Merovingian (or Zion as he's known now) has decided to come back and help AR! Give him a warm re-welcome.

We didn't discuss anything of real relevance to be honest, most of it was just random stuff. We did discuss having new first person arms though. There will be a few more arm types than those featured in APB. this is because units like the conscript and Tesla Trooper have massive gloves which will need modelling out. We'll get them working soon enough though.

Tesla Coil Fixed

dtrngd wasn't happy with the Tesla Coil, so he took it and made it as close to RA2's as he could possibly get. I think he succeeded; take a look below.

Team Messages

I have a headset again now, so I can talk to people on skype and teamspeak again!

cfehunter actually paid for megavideo.

dtrngd has been working lots.

danpaul88 has been wanting the Barracks for the next test build.

Chevy has been conflabbing with us.

TheBeerinator is working on Soviet Purchase Terminals.

Tankmaster is working on some features for the installer.

Poggel has been working on a Tokarev pistol!

We're Looking For...

We are looking for extra staff members to join our ranks!

At the moment we are looking for:

2d Artists

3d Model Artists

What we are looking for in either a 2d or 3d artist, is someone who:

• is enthusiastic about working with the BHP Apocalypse Rising Team.
• has spare time.
• will be active in the foreseeable future (a.k.a we don't want you running off).
• is competent at creating their own 2d textures or 3d models in 3d Studio Max/Maya.
• is over the age of 16 (we overlook this if you are what we assess to be a mature individual. This rule is known as the TruYuri rule).

PM me with your application stating why you would like to join the team along with any past experience. Please provide example textures or models, if you have any.

OWA's Random Corner

Crab Battle?

Duck!

Where?

Yay, the Refinery! How do you plan to decorate the inside like? I'd imagine it would be very dark, with the orange glow of molten ore, like you would get off the image of Soviet steel factories. Is it possible to do that, since I have a feeling you can't change lighting into being darker?

I like the Refinery. Excellent work!

awesome ...damn the Ore Refinery looks fucking gooooood !!!!

and lol @ snake

Epic Ore Refinery ! With NO elevators !

LOL Snake gets defeated by a crab.

Ore Refinery will be epic :V I agree with the idea of the gold light.

And awesome Tesla Coil

Win blog is win. The refinery looks astounding, and that tesla coil couldn't possibly get any closer to RA2's. Also, the refinery video wins bonus points for Rammstein.

I'd try to help with the 3D modeling, but I'm 2 years short of the age limit

Love the new refinery. Also love the song you used.

Can't wait for the release.

SWEEEET, looks to be a great game looking forward!!!

P.S Keep up the great work!!

Warning, blog contains win! It always does.
The refinery walkthrough sparks my curiosity:
1) Is resource escalator accessible by infantry?
2) Stair rails on the first floor, mb?
3) Barrels... >:D You know what my question is, do you?)

Yeah, and the TC is great, can't wait using Pepakura Designer on it X)
Before - after.
