It was two years ago today that we started on a small project for Half-Life, based on The Battlegrounds open-source. To celebrate this time in our history, we're releasing oodles of media for our fans who've stayed with us throughout the time, and for those of you who are just joining us now.

Today we have the three pistols, which we released a few months ago, the Lebel with various touch-ups, the completely re-skinned Luger, and fixed Webley (some faces were messed up during an import, so the barrel looked very skinny). We also have the Stielhandgrenate 1915, Mauser G98, and the three bayonets.

As a special last-minute addition, we have for you a brand-new shot of The Battle of Loos (which was restarted due to Hammer... everybody give it up for Hammer...).

As you see, the team has been hard at work as of late, making sure you get the media you've all been waiting for. Another happy announcement is we now have our gameplay (which you can read more about here) completely coded in and working great. After some great play testing, we all agree that it will be a great way to enjoy Flanders Fields.

Things aren't all sunshine and lollypops, however. We're currently seeking some staff to fill some key jobs here at Flanders Fields, which include the following:

• Second Weapon Animator


• Character Animator


• Texture Artist (Map Textures)


• UVW Unwrapper (Mesher)


• Weapons & Map Model Skinner

If you have one (or more) of these talents, or something else you'd wish to contribute to the team here at Flanders Fields, you can go to our Staff Application and fire one off to us, and we'll get back to you within the day.

We all hope you enjoyed this update, I look forward to seeing you in the Forums and IRC!
