The following status update has been posted over at the site of Sands of War. The team is currently working on two versions, namely the update 1.5 version and a brand new Source version:

Currently we working on two totally different versions of SoW:

• SoW1: Sands-of-War 1.5


• SoW2: Sands-of-War on the Source engine

Sands-of-War 1.5 was planned to only be a smaller update, but it is turning out to contain quite a bunch of features. Here is a list including some of them:

• Several new high quality maps


• Particle system named Sand Storm


• New weapon model


• Radar


• Infrared


• Smoke grenade


• Tear gas

The particle system will be able to create a wide amount of effects. Here you can see a screenshot of it generating rain in a test map.

Even though it contains a massive amount of new features we are planning to have it done it shorter time than usual! Within a week we will release the 1st release candidate to the internal beta testers.
