Ok folks, for various reasons it looks like WQ3 needs a new name before the Stand-Alone should be released. Some are legality arguements, while others pertain to the possibility of our favorite spaghetti western game moving to a new engine in the future. Now I'm not saying that the current team will take this game to a new level, but who knows what might happen once the source is released? One thing is for sure, a couple of dev members & a few loyal fans with talent have proposed the idea more than once. But first things first. Check this forum thread to see what names have been proposed or to pitch your own idea for a new name. Let's throw a lasso around something so we can get on with completing the Stand-Alone! By the way, changing the name involves restructuring quite a few things in the game so there will unfortunately be an additional delay with the release. Somewhat disheartening for yours truly, but I WILL see this project finished before my neck gets stretched by the hangman dammit!
Everyone likes screenshots, right? Since I was fixing a few bugs in Hang'em High for the SA, I figured I might as well try to spruce up the place while I'm at it. Here's a before & after of what I have so far.
Please keep in mind I have a bit of work to do yet but I like the unfinished results so far. A little texture blending & a change of skybox goes pretty far it seems.
Now for something really fresh! Take a look at the pic-o-the-week to see a brand new skin submission from Leon (aka. Henri Tervapuro) with a tiny bit of photo retouching from our own Evil Futsin. I'm told we just might see new skins for all of our models in the future. Will they make it in time for the SA release? Only time will tell! Nice work amigos.
