Sorry for the downtime latley, mates! Our crew has been mad at work producing our game, so heres a few of the latest developments.
First, we want to announce the new pages that have been added to the site. You may now visit each of our three game team's pages, with Class and Weapon information. Also, we have put up a FAQ and a partially completed Features page. Feel free to browse around and see whats new. I would also like to welcome Man0-TPF, Jadawin, Krayola, RobinTheRedbeard, Ratkin, Athul, and Hamst3r to the team! Welcome aboard, mateys.
Our next bit of news it the first of the three long rifles featured in Mist, the Cut Throat Musket.

A longer version of your standard musket, the Cut-Throat Musket is presented with a more accurate shot, as well as a better view down the sights (zoom). Everyone fears a Cut-Throat musketeer and his musket, even from 100 yards away.

Next, we have three Character Models to show you from the Cursed Pirates team. Below are unskinned models of the Captain, Swashbuckler and Musketeer classes.

The Cursed Pirates Captain is a powerful position, sought after by the entire crew. The highest scorer on your team is automatically given the Captain's spot. When someone surpasses the Captain's score, they are given the Captain's spot when the Captain dies.

The Cursed Pirates Swashbuckler is the master of close combat. Arm yerself with an axe, sword, or anything that can be weilded to slice and dice your enemy, combined with the speed of this bloodthirsty combatant, you have the most deadly close ranged player on the ground and sea.

The Cursed Pirates Musketeer is the master of the rifle. It is said that when a trained Musketeer is in their prime, they can hit a fly off of the swishing tail of a horse. Use the Musketeer class when long ranged skills are in need.

Lastly, we want to thank the skurvies at PC Gamer Magazine who have included us in their latest issue, the Ultimate Shooter Guide. We are included with a few other upcoming mods in their HL2 Mod Roundup section. (Pg. 88) Click image to enlarge.

Reads: Concept: If you have a thirst for battle, pillage and plunder on the high seas, Mist is the mod for you. The multiplayer action pits the Cut Throats against the Black Buccaneers against the Cursed Pirates amongst the treasure-rich Mist isles. Your skill at both ship-to-ship cannon battles and man-to-man sword-fighting will be tested with multiplayer modes ranging from variations on capture the flag and deathmatches to plundering and jailbreak modes.

Thanks PCGamer Magazine for including us in their issue! Thats all the news for today, check back next week for a preview of some Mist Mod Maps.
