Congrats Larry and Rafu, the game is Amazing, it's a pleasure to see my models being used so well .

wow!
I'm not a fan of the half life type monsters with lots of flesh showing, but this is great!
It looks very cool!
I like the tird and fourth shot the most... great job!!!

As much as I enjoyed playing HL2 on my pc, this model is far better then the mediocre model in HL2 but the screenies remind my of those good old days I've had with HL and HL2 before I gave the game away to a friend
Nice pictures Andvari

Cheers

I am scared Watch out how you publish such ingame materials. On the one site its right as a teaser to show how unique and fantastic the game design is. On the other hand I expect to see more as 200% new stuff in the game as I have seen in the preview.

Love it and the textures look great too

A bug...the game works two times:
the first one , the scientist get killed.
The second one , I was killed by monster.
then I don't work anymore;anytime I talk with the russian and I click the number 3 :"let's go" , the game crashed.
After ah handfull of tryng , I stopped to play.

Hey everyone, thanks for your comments!

btw, for everyone who is interested on how the Ai tool will work when it's done, you can see lots of its inner workings by running Mother's Den with Debug Mode On(found in the Game Menu). Then, after you play the game, press F1 and you'll be able to get debug information for every Npc. You'll be able to see how Ai LOD works, what the Npc is 'thinking', his animation state, how the pathfidning and obstacle avoidance works, and pretty much everything to give you a good idea about how the Ai that you can buy, really works. Afterall, that was the main purpose of this demo.


@Manslayer101, if you care to download the demo again, i've now decreased the 512mb ram limit down to 256mb. Hope it works this time.

@Loopix, thanks, i didn't know that! i was beginning to doubt manslayer there for a second and about the release date, it's a really sensitive area..:P I rather not say anything at all, rather than promise i deadline i won't keep again. Not a lot more things to do now though... It's pretty much just a polishing stage..

@PHeMoX, if more people post about this bug, i'll look into it.. i tried it in several machines and i couldn't reproduce it here..

@DavidLancaster, heh, cool that you can't tell . It's only a vertex animation, that is triggered when an npc actually 'speaks'(when the audio he is emitting is actually playing). The first two animations played when your brother first talks to you though are being called by the intense Dialogues engine and have been nicely sychronized by Andvari to fit the audio. I'm not using any extra tools/dlls or anything for mother's den. If you take out the Physics that are done by a6 pro, everything else could be done with intenseX and a6 standard edition(well, gameplay-wise at least )

@lostclimate, I know, i miss head-shots too... We had no time, but i'll do this sometime soon for sure..


Cheers,
Aris

Larry, release the editions , then U can sell the headshot thing ( damage system like SOF, ) as a add on or without fees for who purchased the higher edition.
I have to say that the whole demo and the AI are very impressive, one between the best things made with 3dgs that I have saw.

Mondi, hey, i somehow missed your post about that bug you posted..

Are you sure you're using version 1.02? No-one from that version reported a crash on lab A but you.. If you're sure it's 1.02, it says it on the main menu page, here's what you do. Uninstall the game, and then manually delete the whole Mother's Den folder directly, from wheverever you had it installed. This is so you can make sure that you're not using any save game files from previous versions. After you've done that, install 1.02 from fresh, and let me know how it goes.

The headshots are going to take me one day, maybe less. I'll try to have it implemented on the first intenseX release.

Cheers,
Aris

Hi again

I had the bug (latest version) three time ; in other session the russian scientist segment works fine , the bug was when I "hired" the first scientist ( the one that said "You save me life") and then I go to save the russian one.
Perhaps a bug only in my pc.
For damage system I mean a feature like the Sof game (or kingpin ) : you shoot the bad guys and the textures changes showing the damages or a fake it ( the pain skins just like in quake || that changes without hit points) .
