Fistful of Frags: status update.

[R_Yell]

Hi everyone, never heard about us? FoF is a western themed modification with innovative gameplay focused in player customization and dynamic objectives. We are near of completing our first public version. Right now we are creating weapons and characters, while game code and maps for first release are almost ready. These are some renders, almost completed stuff (textures still a bit WIP):



Here are some level design screenshots:




We are looking for weapon/player modelers, skinners or animators, contact with us here.

Looks pretty nice, this goes on my things to play list now.

why the name change?
and are you still using my chuck wagon prop?
and how far is this mod? codewise? when do you think you'll release? (give or take). Keep up the good work.

Hi Simon Name change comes because I decided to continue with my work in a new mod due to serious divergences. And sure, your nice wagon is still there. Once we model and animate a few weapons more the mod will be ready for internal testing, and release should follow shortly. We are talking about 2-3 months if things go like planned. The coding side is fully covered, is almost done as I said, I'm in charge of it. We should start showing in-game videos soon, there are a lot of features I want to show. Nothing spectacular in the graphical side, is just gameplay the part I like most.

Cheers.

Thats what we thought when we started internal testing, you'll be surprised how much you'll need to fix / edit when starting the playtesting
But by the looks of it most mods will get released this year and thats good news for the remaining mod community

Well, really don't know how much time will take to polish gameplay I agree with you there, but the technical side is quite polished now. I've been doing my own internal testing in the LAN I got in my home. That's a great help when you want to know how works server/client stuff and such.

and are you still using my chuck wagon prop?

I remember seeing that one in a PC Gameplay edition
