- We have a new modeller, Falcon77 who is currently working on our Merkava tank.
- Jordan finished two concept drawings for the IDF Rifleman and the Hamas Militant. Theres a new section on this site for concept art and fan work to be put in.
- Our IDF Rifleman has been modeled, and is waiting for texturing.

Speaking of texturing. Can you skin? If you can, and would like to work on Promised Land shoot me an email, and we can get you started right away. Preference goes to those who can 1) UVW unwrap and 2) bump and/or normal map. We need more permanent skinners.

We started to clean the team, for the summer clean, so some team member make a hot ambience, ( i can’t allways made the good choice, i’m sorry, i know we can’t come back). Results : the mod have gone to the hell, yeah, but with the motivation of certain members of the team, it has to withstand, the team is allways here


With new members, the mod will evoluate, we can say to us : welcome (and good luck ).

Now that the team returns to normaly stable, it is necessary to relaunch the motor, There will be more communications, more of poll to reply to your ask. The Team had modification, yeah, but the mod too… more weapons, model remake, maps improved , like the gate (oh, yeah, you will be surprised)… but all that will be to explain more in detail.

When to the singleplayer one it arrives has his term … but all that will be explained more in detail soon.

Thx to Waldoo for the translation.

There seems to be a bit of a scare going around that we are a dead mod.

Nope, we are alive as can be, and I don’t mean that in an EVAMOD sort of way (the one mod that is dead and dose not know it)

Our programmer is on vacation for a few months, and I am working on other things while he’s gone, so there is not much to say ATM, but we are still moving! And even if HL2 comes out, allot of our material will be transferable to HL2! So no Worries.

As our project enters a new development stage, we're going to need new talented people to reinforce the existing team.
Thus we're actively looking for one or several:
- Character designer
- Environment designer
- Game designer
- Level designer (preferably confortable with SandBox or able to learn fast)
- 2D graphics artist

Motivation, competence and ability to work among a team are our main requirements.
For the record, our team currently consists of a dozen of active members.

Moreover, the INCteam as recently signed a Non Disclosure Agreement with a third party company. Future team members may thus have to sign the said NDA in turn.

We are very sorry for the downtime the past week. The problem has been fixed and we are back up and running. We have more media coming soon, but until then drop by our forums and hang out with the team. Once again, sorry for the downtime.

As some of you might have noticed we have a new forum. Its Invision Board v2.0 The sad thing is that we didn't see a possibility to port our old forum over to the new one since the heave modifications we made on the old one. So you all will have to re-register on the new forum. The good thing is that we have a more stabile forum with some handy extra functions :)

also we are going to make some changes in showing the progress of our mod which in our opinion has been a bit week lately. We will now also show you people wips and stuff so that you have some more stuff to view =)

I received today new cool Termite concept sketches from Kimon Christodoulides. I changed a little the web site and added a Sketches section on the left menu. You can see the new sketches from the Concept Sketches - Termite section.

It's been a while since we've shown some pictures in the news, so it's about time to show you a bunch of them. We'll start with some map models made by DragonDude. He made four great map models:




DragonDude has been working on a number of secret projects, one of which is Starmen!



Well I won't be able to top DragonDude's update, (or Lost's brand new website layout) but I can bring you pictures of the next HLEB weapons to be animated: Poo's Sword of Kings, and Paula's Frying Pan!



In other news, SoulStriker has been made Beta Tester Organizer. So you now know which person's ass to kiss if you want on the testing team. ^_^
We here at HLEB would also like to welcome TheGrimace to the team, he is going to be sharing his talent of model animation with the HLEB team.
Expect more news to come, along with more pictures, because right now Lost is working on weapon selection sprites for the HUD. Once he completes them all, they'll be revealed.

Well, we now own www.tefp.net (which was suppose to be www.tefpmod.net, but I was stupid and forgot mod :)). Anyway, all earlier updates are gone. Basically, lemme sum it up for you. We got a coder, and we just had a big media update which can be found in our moddb profile. Enjoy!

We're still around and goin strong. We have 2 new skinners, and they have both completed skinning a model... the Junk Cannon and the double barrel sawed off hand cannon. The double barrel is undergoing some extreme rusting though. You can check out a preview of it on the forums! In about 2 days I'll post pics of the 2 new skinned weapons on the front page, as well as in the armory section.

Lately, our bandwidth has been gobbled up a lot. I think part of this may be due to remote linking, but most of it is because a lot of the images were 100+ kilobytes. Taking the advice of a friend, I compressed all of the images, and changed most of the site's layout images .png instead of .jpg. Hopefully this will save our bandwidth, we're at about 80% used for this month.

This doesn't mean stop talking about the mod though.. As a matter of fact, tell more people. The more bandwidth we lose, the happier we are that we're popular. :P
