**Main News**


So far , the mod goes well , today Sonictag , kindly helped out by asking if there was anything that needs modeling , so i gave him something to model , and now Dazman is working on getting it ingame.

Heres a render so far , just temp Max materials , no skins , or shaders , just skylight radiosity.

Hopefully once Lightning is not as busy with other things like Hypo , or Coag , then we can get some kick *** shaders applyed to everything , but so far i guess its just my crappy temp textures i made in like 5 seconds in photoshop.

**Other News**

Super Sonic
************

- Can now fly! , thanks to M4573R5 again* for the help , Super Sonic is now a flyable biped , just needs new anims.


CC Tank Droid
*************

- Is now easier to drive than it was before , and the animations are fixed aswell as the turret position when you get inside , thanks to M4573R5 and Time_to_Die


CC Turret Bot
*************

- Is lower poly than before thanks to [GX]Shadow , who kindly lowered the polys of it by about 3-4000 polys , so when Shadow gets round to sending me that it will be great to get ingame


Multiple Biped Characters
********************

- Maybe in some pictures soon , thanks to SSDC , who kindly told me how it works , not in full detail but enough to understand , we can now try and get more than one character playable , but not by choice , simply players dying and then randomly comming back as a different character.

Increased Effects
***************

- Nemesis , one of my long time Clan members and friend which the Nemesis map was named after , is helping with really nice effects , to put ingame , these effects do not effect the frame rate what so ever and really do look nice ingame , as he as shown me in some pictures.


**Special thanks to....**

SSDC , Cpt Lag , GhostOfHalo , Lightning , Dazman , Nemesis , Sonicocyborg , DimensionWarped , SonicTag , Super Sunny , and M4573R5 so far for this weeks progress.

Thanks for reading!

Saw it on GBX, it'll be hard to compete with the release of Headlong though. :?

I'll still download it, nice to hear you got multiple bipeds working. :)

He is, he's saying that to prove him wrong they'd let him beta test. Jokes just aren't funny when you have to explain them, lol.

Yoyorast Island is a map that's being worked on, it's "potentially the greatest map ever" whatever that means.

Just because SonicXtr3me did not let you beta test does not mean its a hoax. I am on the team and trust me its not a hoax. Maybe SonicXtr3me didn't trust you enough to let you beta test the mod. Anyways, most of the beta testers are only people who are on the team in the first place. So if your not on the team or haven't known SonicXtr3me for a long time then don't expect to be a beta tester. Your just going to have to wait for it to be released just like everybody else.
