Making tilable images can sometimes be quite a chore. Organica plans to change that this summer.

Rather than painting textures by hand, Organica allows you to create textures at a conceptual level by visually linking together texture components and processes, adjusting values, and modifying preexisting textures. This process takes much... [ There's more ]

I thought I should point out this mapper: BerneyBoy. He publishes his maps under multiple platforms. For example, his Egypt TeamTemple map was built for:
• Medal Of Honor
• Quake 3 Arena
• Return to Castle Wolfenstein
• Soldier of Fortune II
• Star Trek Voyager Elite Force
• Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast

Since they all run on the same basic game engine, Quake III, porting s... [ There's more ]

I brought back the Calendar of Events. You can now keep track of coming games releases, events, and more. Soon, this will be added to the sidebar since it seems to be running much better (since we last had the calendar here).

You should be able to enter events of your own as well. Let me know if you have any problems.

btw: the link is in the main menu too ;)... [ There's more ]

WorthPlaying.com has a good interview with the creators of Devistation. Let me highlight a few sections of special interest:

Gamespy has started a developers diary for Chrome, a tactical fps game. A taste of what they offer:

Our main aim was to create extensive outdoor locations that would give the player a lot of freedom to move around. We wanted to make it so that no other game would give the player such a realistic image of a deep forest. The forest itself introduces a new type of play mode based on combat in the wil...

HomeLan Fed has posted a preview of Devastation which is using the unreal warfare engine for their fps styled, very interactive game. A cool bit of news that I pulled from this preview:

Check out the entire preview
