Never heard of that Werewolf game, but the cancellation of Deadlands is a shame. Headfirst had some cool games coming and there are cool things in DCotE, too. I really would've wanted to see more games from them. Too bad they had problems with publishers for their games and ended up making DCotE for some 8 years and going bankrupt because of them.

AFAIK, rewriting the whole engine of DCotE because Bethesda demanded that they'd make the game for the X-Box was the main reason for going bankrupt. They had made good progress when they had to switch publishers, only got Bethesda to publish the game and ended like this.

It was called Werewolf the Apocalypse: Heart of Gaia

not much information besides that prelim screenshot was released

Bloody pigggy, i think that the whole move to the torque engine was a good idea, some good games made on it

A few months ago: link.

No idea what it is, though.

The Torque engine created Tribes and Tribes 2.
Here's a link...

It's very powerful.

It also powers the Blockland game! The greatest online block o matic fun building game ever!

Powers "Gish" too, for those of you that were lucky enough to play that platformer.

Fraps makes five gig files and I can only record for thirty seconds on the free version. I'm not gonna use it again

yes it makes some pretty large files but you can then open the file in Virtualdub and compress it .

Topic revive:

Pigggy, how goes the progress on the game?

[Blood-Pigggy]

Lawl.

Things that have happened since last time a post has been made here.
Engine switch to something much more powerful, primarily created for FPS games. A few testers have been working out quirks and etc. Busy creating a website, currently searching for a webhost, paying.

Biggest change - the whole concept changed, it's no longer a western shooter, but details are not going to be layed out

[JimmyJ]

Well, would you care to say what engine you moved to?

[Blood-Pigggy]

FPS Creator, lawl.
Cost $50 instead of the $100 I had to pay for Torque, but strangely, when I booted it up, I already found it easier to use, with way more stuff, and way more supported features.
Ragdoll physics and destructable environments and large amount of enemies on screen at once for example, and almost instant 3D model integration.
It's a dream.

FPS creator? I think I know it, and I can get it here for 25?

[Blood-Pigggy]

Considering the exchange rate, it probably costs more over there.

I pay in $ not in some strange C symbol
