Blog 173 (06/03/10), Very Late Options

Hey guys, it's time for the blog. This one is really late, but I've been off form for a week or two, not to mention having nothing really to show.

Anyway, here we go.

IFV Gun Turret

I've been working on the new machine-gun IFV turret. When you use a GI or Conscript with an IFV, this is what you'll get. It's not based on the original voxel art, because we thought that the weird dome turret didn't look right when brought into an FPS environment. So, with a bit of inspiration from military sources, I have designed this new turret which, I feel, fits the general allied aesthetic.

See what you guys think anyway.

Base Character Updates

I've been continuing work on the base character mk. 2. I'm working to get the arms and legs finished up for next week. From this base, I can create all of the new infantry

Here's some progress!

Strings

I've also been working on getting the strings sorted out. jonwil has coded up a nice new strings editor that is much better than the one that's built in to level edit. With this I can search for strings as well as other neat tricks.

As an example, here are the strings for the weapons in RC1

Nice to see the IVF types still shaping up nicely

OMG, the machine gun on the IFV indeed looks like a Bolter

Because I used a Heavy Bolter Chimera as reference

I always did think that the dome thing looked kinda dumb; this looks better.

Also, the guy who made Splash Attack disapproves of YouTube versions. Here's the original Newgrounds version: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/377178

Late blagh is late....but still epic

What about making IFV MG turret look little different when GI or Conscript sit in it (despite it means more and more work to do )?
