    Sadly, all the art stuff is (mostly) on hold until the map is fun and relatively balanced... I don't expect to get it perfect but I need to feel satisfied that the overall layout and feel confident that the rooms work before I can commit any time to art.
    This is probably another 2 or 3 significant change builds away. I'm hoping for the end of august, but there's no telling when I'll feel satisfied with the design.
    After that I'll probably give myself 8 months to a year to get all the art done... So you've got plenty of time to remaster the skulk and give me some feedback on the map :P

    Wow those pics of yours are awesome. You must be some sort of graphics artist or something.
    I agree with the Biodome stuff, I can't wait for that map to come out so people can start adding more greenery to their maps. All this industrial stuff is getting kinda old :P

    Who gave troop the video camera? Everyone knows Daan's the only one allowed to hold it! and you know the rules if there's no sound we have flats bad dub step played on loop!
    Good video and thanks to the [T W A T] and Wonga for suffering the map and providing feedback, a lot of the changes you suggested have been implemented. Hopefully we'll get some more PCW's on it soon! If you plan on doing some please contact our resident camera man Daan (above poster).
    Edit apparently T\/\/AT is a naughty word!?!

    Legendary Snails and RadicaL were nice enough to playtest Fracture the other day, and here's the footage including Howser and myself babbling away incomprehensibly throughout.

    This is probably a dumb question, but... why are there sometimes two numbers on one line? :-/

    I've got the internet up and running here in my new place, I might be able to cobble together some time to show up on Sundays playtest, get some nice first hand experience finally on this map. Was always interested in what you were going to do with your custom textures e.t.c.

    Will be good to see you there mate. Just started my ready room... so maybe in a few weeks I'll be showing that off with plenty of custom content. I've been meaning to do it for months but kept getting pulled back into level design as problems would show up. I need to sit on this build for a few weeks and get more competitive feedback.

    First match this sunday. Was a bit low energy for everyone, not much to do with Fracture itself.

    @Howser‌ - I can't believe you are not keeping your own thread up to date with all your glorious map changes.

    This is not a Necro, here is a Video of this weeks SCC Playtest of ns2_fracture:

    ah its the laziness... and the gameplay focused nature of its development don't make for good reading. I will resume posts when I have stuff that's worth being a show off about :D but thanks for the post mate.

    It's finished enough to enjoy playing on it. No dev textures visible, and Ceremony looks really good tbh.

    Ooh. I have been really looking forward to this map also. Maybe I will put it for vote on my server.

    well there's a naughty stuck spot, some overly windy vents and some cover missing. I also want to try remove the lower pass through cold storage( bringing the whole room west a bit). Saturday I promise :D
