Eurogamer Left 4 Dead 2 Interview
Posted @ 7:27 AM July 2, 2009 By:
Evo In: Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, News

There is a new interview with Doug Lombardi over on Eurogamer concerning Left 4 Dead 2. You can read the whole thing here but in the meant time this is a nice little taste of what you can expect to read:

Eurogamer: So at the moment, you have separate teams working on Left 4 Dead 2 and supporting the original game?

Doug Lombardi: There's a couple of different teams, actually. There's guys working on Left 4 Dead 2, guys working on Left 4 Dead 1 stuff, and then guys working on the authoring tools for Left 4 Dead - the mod-making stuff. Regarding the Left 4 Dead 1 content, we'll be announcing stuff in the coming weeks, but there's nothing I can say about it today.
Go read!

WWI: Source June Update
Posted @ 4:45 PM June 29, 2009 By:
Ennui In: News

The folks over at WWI: Source (one of which, incidentally, is yours truly) have posted their latest monthly update, detailing information on their closed alpha playtesting sessions, introducing a few new team members, and showing off a couple of in-game screenshots, as well as hinting at an open beta release over the horizon.
June has been a great month for the team, with a couple of new members, a ton of playtesting, and generally as much productivity as a mod team could hope for. We’ve progressed into Phase 2 of our internal alpha testing with a small team of playtesters, and had a blast doing so and watching the gameplay continously become more streamlined and fun. Here are a couple of screenshots from our playtesting sessions; the first two are from Ztormi’s map ww_somme and the others are from Wickit’s map ww_passchendaele.

That’s almost all for this month, but before we go, here’s a blog post ivsound has written detailing the creation of one of the WWI: Source machinegun sounds, including a short in-game video. Check it out here.
Look interesting? Find out more at the main website or their ModDB profile.
