addedAlong with these new quite frankly revolutionary additions, we also have some cutting edge graphics tech to show off. The special shader which we used to render voxel grass in the tutorial level has now been expanded to other types of surfaces. Volumetric pixelated garbage! A bit like those MMO minecraft clones!

The next region is "map_chopshop", a section of underground rail tunnels which have been converted into makeshift garages and shanties by New Zabra's mysterious subterranean denizens, the Grajiik.

For this level, we decided to go a bit more conventional than on the Pinafore centrifugal spaceship. We've been playing some objective-based semi stealth shooters recently (Timesplitters 2!) and we want to try doing a more straightforward structure inspired by these!

But, naturally, since we are Team Fortune, this return to a more standard format must also be accompanied with several wacky additions in engine technology.

Introducing... Y2K useable turret emplacements!

Enemies can now occupy static turrets and use them to defend their positions more effectively. The player can of course use them as well!

This also extends to other creative turret types such as the stealth game classics... Spotlights, featuring the bucket sniper from blight town!

Along with these new quite frankly revolutionary additions, we also have some cutting edge graphics tech to show off. The special shader which we used to render voxel grass in the tutorial level has now been expanded to other types of surfaces. Volumetric pixelated garbage! A bit like those MMO minecraft clones!

Also, you know what we didn't have in the other levels? Cameras! How can you have an immersive sim without cameras! But of course we can't do anything normally, so instead of being a camera that you can hack and see through, our cameras are actually high density laser scanners which have a rhythmic pattern that you will have to evade with acrobatics.

And this is only the beginning of the new features which you will be playing in a few months. Soon, more information on:

  • New hacking puzzles

  • New enemy types

  • Cute droids

  • New searchable, moveable corpses with Octahedral 3dVision Technology

  • New weapons, including a tool which can restore power to devices in the world

Stay tuned, Space Cowboy. -Team Fortune
