What we can say, things are going slowly in this period anyway we have a small update, we dont have a new version ready yet but everything is moving nicely in the team. Would like to introduce you another two team members: Peter Böhme as an artist in the team, he can help us with 2d art (mainly menù,HUD), some mapping and models and Symo (another Italian) as 2d/3d artist, he started the complete restyle of each texture in the mod he will do some concept arts about maps and also some 3d models. Peter made a very cool map called databq3, is really different,simple but got a really interesting 2d style with floating particles and blending platforms... is more than an experimental thing and work very good, we think we will include it to the next release .. be patience and take a look to this screens, two screens are taken from a new "test" version of the mod ... with bugs :). The new version include a lot of new features,i dont want to list any now but the mod will change a lot and will be very near a complete total conversion! Stay tuned :D

Not many updates this days because we made a small break, i was working on my new map for Q3 (lsdm17) and other team members was busy with other things. Anyway i post new screens of 2 new maps bq3dm7-Abstract by KitCarson and bq3dm8-Crystal by our new team member Dash. We have another great member in our team and this is a great thing. About me and Eraser we are working on 2 new ctf maps for bombq3 we will show something soon! This are 6 screens of the new maps :


As you can see from this screens we have another camera system ready for the next release with this we are trying to develop new features like :

• Health system (server command)
• New powerups
• New maps
• more and more features!

stay tuned and please visit the forum and post your sugestions and comments about our mod! We will release the Beta2 this month if everything go straight! See ya soon!
