Quatro09 BETA Released

I’ve decided to release the beta.  Please give me feedback on this.

Current issues i know about

1. The Sky Dome isn’t scaled properly yet.
2. There are two areas of concrete walkway on the top level.  These will snag.
3. The shadows on some of the meshes aren’t quite right.  (i could do with a hand on these).

Thanks to hal again over at Beyond Unreal for posting about the reviews.

There is a difference in the name of one of the HOLP 2 maps.  Over at the HOLP 2 Page it is listed as Bonecrusher yet in game it is Bonescraper.  I’ve updated the review but any current links should still work.

Thanks to Thrallala for pointing that out.

All the best

Big thanks to the HOLP team for putting together a great pack which should give a lot of fun and enjoyment.

Hope you enjoy the reviews.

EDIT: The link to DM-Echelon By Slainchild is now fixed.  Sorry about that.  Thanks Wael

HOLP 2 Reviews Tomorrow

I only have one more to do so I’ll be posted the reviews tomorrow.

As before I’ll take a short break from reviewing and try and get a beta of quatro out in the next few days.

The birthday went fine BTW

All the best

Non-UT ralated link – Mario and Co + Gangsta Tripping???

Nearly Done

The HOLP reviews should be posted by the end of this weekend.  Once that’s done I can get back to normal reviews and building the site and Quatro

I’m beginning to think the comment system is bugged or broken as I haven’t had any feedback or comments for a while.  I hope that isn’t the case.

It’s my wife’s birthday tomorrow so I might not post anything then.

All the best

Feedback Please

This site has been going for a little while now.  I’d like some feedback on what you guys think of it so far.  I noticed a few have used the poll and have posted feedback in the past (thank you) but please tell me what you’d change, what you like, what you want to get rid off etc.

It would really help me decide in the next version of this site.  It will help make the site better for you.

The HOLP pack reviews are progressing and I’m still on course (fingers crossed :)).

All the best

Progress

I’m plugging away with the HOLP 2 pack.  It’s turning out to be quite a good pack.  I don’t want to pre-empt the reviews though so I’ll say no more.

Once this pack has been done though I can get back to the single map reviews and quatro.  Remember you can still sub maps and I accept the three main flavours of UT.  Just visit the Map Submission page for more details.

Keep subbing

All the best

Quatro Beta Release Close

I was hoping to get a beta version of Quatro08 ready for release tonight but time was against me.  Didn’t get a lot done yesterday due to the migraine.  Hopefully I’ll be able to release it tomorrow.  When that happens I’ll start on the HOLP2 pack.

BTW the migraine was caused by the vacuum cleaner dieing and spewing out some very nasty smelling fumes.  It’s dead and will soon be in bits at the local tip.

Revenge will be mine 😀

All the best

Two More Reviews

Two good maps today, CTF and a HOLP style DM flavours for UT3

CTF-EagleNest By Manun 70/100

DM-Biosource By RennyManJr 84/100

two very different maps but both are worthy of a look.

I have updated the review scheme a little to take into account HOLP maps.  It would be unfair to mark them down on eye candy.  Clean and simple but still look like UT3 maps.

Enjoy

Holp 2 Released

For those who like things very simple this should interest you. It’s the second incarnation of the HOLP series of map packs. HOLP, by the way, stands for (deep breath) “Hardcore Oldskool Low Poly”. If you liked the first then you’ll love this.

Not really my cup of tea though. It’s seems a little too low poly for me but I’ll give it a go all the same.  I’ll tell you tomorrow what I think.
Grab it here if you want it.

Might be moving to the new site soon. 😉

Non-UT related link time.  Do you have a Ninja Finger????
