Upcoming Maps update 30 January 2005 Hellscrag

TheEmperorStalwartUK has informed me that Labyrinth of the Darkness is on hold until the completion of Sunspire Rear, for which a new screenshot has been uploaded. Meanwhile, I contacted Eater of Nali Chronicles about the apparent silence of their mod, and am informed that their project is still alive, but has been held up by real-life commitments. NCTeam still fully intend to release the project.


New Project: Sunspire Rear 29 January 2005 Hellscrag

Ever ambitious, TheEmperorStalwartUK has conceived another new project. Sunspire Rear (working title) will face the planer with a traditional romp across the Nali Planet, beginning as the player's escape pod crashes into a previously unseen part of the Sunspire. The project, which will be developed for Unreal and composed of up to "several" maps, has been added to Upcoming Maps, and more info is available on the project thread.

Drevlin Releases Unfinished Content 21 January 2005 Hellscrag

Drevlin has gone public with a large number of incomplete, mostly unplayable maps for various cancelled projects. The maps are of interest to anyone seeking to learn from other mappers, or who might be interested in finishing one of the projects off. Read this forum thread to track down the 12.4MB RAR file. Note that you may have to make a few attempts at the download - the server is tending to reset the connection prematurely. Unfortunately this release means the official cancellation of Losing Faith, and its consequent removal from the Upcoming Maps page.
