White Mod – Development

So we have entered July with whole bunch of tasks in our hands.

Bob did some magnificent work over the last week and got the code revamped. He basically got it all in one package and improved some camera stuff that had been long pending. We’ll be looking into various other code related tasks this month as I progress my knowledge of UnrealScript under the tutelage of Bob.

Our meeting last week culminated with lots of work in the hands of the mapping team and the art department. The mappers will need to redo quite a bit of stuff due to package changes. Our 3Dartists are on the go with models and textures churning out. Roland, our audio engineer has been drafting some fantastic ambient sounds for our maps which should make it in this release.

As for myself, the lead of the no man’s land is back in this business with a new computer and new list of tasks. I am installing and updating the code repository as I write this. So to compensate for my absence, I’ll give a bag of virtual cookies to anyone who guesses the name of our next release (am sure most of you have figured out the pattern by now).

Gear up!

We are throwing all community love we have received so far into a bowl and concocting some specially brewed TLC (read quality) to be put into Project White. We have had a public domain at Uservoice where people can throw rotten tomatoes, chocolates or just a hello. This is the feedback central for the community. As you can see with the current listing of bugs our testing team has already been at work, but we cannot really achieve the perfection without input from everyone. So head on over to Uservoice and give us the kicks. Do check the existing bugs before you go trigger happy.
