MESSAGE #3 - Mar 15, 2004
The first thing that we managed to do and we are very pleased with was game loading acceleration. How did that happen? Well, some annoying problems with displaying textures have forced us to start frantic searches in the code. It turned out that there was a bug. A small one, but its correction allowed us to, among other things, increase game load performance almost four times.
Mines have been enriched with shrapnels that injure and kill. By causing the explosion of one mine we can trigger off the chain reaction in the whole minefield. It is a great method to set a trap. Draw a group of aliens into a minefield and fire at one of the mines – it really makes an impression.
We keep on working on locations. The desert ones are on the tapis at the moment. You might say – what’s the difficulty in creating Sahara? The most difficult to create are uniform texture grounds, bare walls, concrete squares, etc. I hope we did it well.
