Hold until relieved.

People have been asking long enough for some sort of in-game video so as it’s the 64th anniversary of D-Day and the gliderborne assault on the Caen and Orne canal bridge we thought we’d oblige.

John put together a quick walk around of our Pegasus Bridge map for you so you can see how it’s progressing so far. It’s about as historically accurate in terms of layout as we can make it, it’s now going through the process of refinement for gameplay and visuals. The preview shows the main area of the map - theres more to it but we’re keeping those bits to ourselves for now.

Even as you watch it the video is already out-of-date as we’ve already made more tweaks to it. However, it’s still good enough to give you a feel.

The capture of the bridges will be a coup de main operation depending largely on suprise, speed and dash for success. Provided the bulk of your force lands safely, you should have little difficulty in overcoming the known opposition on the bridges. Your difficulties will arise in holding off an enemy counterattack on the bridges, until you are relieved.

We’re not all amateurs you know…

Oops! I was going to include this in the monthly news update but forgot!

Søren “mXed” Norbaek who works with our models and animations has been lucky enough to win a place on the presigious KAU CG line - a 3D arts and animation course at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. Apparently there are very few places available and your application and associated work has to be of a very high standard to win a place. To quote the man himself:

The course is a BA in Character Animation and follows two lines. The first works with animation only, 2D and 3D for cartoons and movies like Disney and Pixar produce, the other line (which I’ll be doing) is called CG Artist. This is the “more” creative line we will be doing character designs, model creation, rigging, rendering - the “behind the scenes” stuff.

Grattis Søren! ;)
