Initial Alpha Testing has begun, and so far everything seems to be running smoothly. No major problems have appeared, and only a few bugs have been found, none of them taking more than a few seconds to fix.

We finally have some screenshots to show! While we are quite aware it looks a bit silly to have a Counter-Strike terrorist running around in these fantasy environments, we hope you can see and understand the direction in which we are heading.


The first of these shots shows the chain lightning spell in action. When an opponent is targetted with this spell, lightning will strike down from above dealing heavy damage to the player. If there are any other opponents within range of the strike, the lightning will proceed to target these players aswell. This spell does not work if the initial target is not directly below the sky.

The second screenshot displays the grappling hook in action, an item that is only available to the thief class. The grappling hook allows the thief to navigate the map more easily and grants them access to higher areas. The grappling hook has other uses, such as latching onto items and pulling them in.

Fanatic's map, sh_jungle, is displayed in the third screenshot. While this map is a work in progress, the layout and structure is excellent.

The final screenshot shows the werewolf in action. The werewolf is a creature the sorceror class is able to transform into via a high level spell. It is capable of very high speeds, and can detect the heat of an opponent through solid objects such as walls.

We are looking to expand our team, so if you have any talents you'd like to demonstrate (whether it be modelling, animating, artistic or mapping), we'd love to hear from you. Drop us a message in the forums.

Many thanks goes out to Fanatic for his great map, and Hadyn for his excellent artwork.
