MWLL Weekly Update #002 - April II

Welcome to the second weekly update in April of 2009, presented by the team of the Crysis total conversion modification MECHWARRIOR: LIVING LEGENDS.

The second week of April of 2009 is over and so it's already time for the second weekly update. A number of interesting things have been going on this past week. Among other things, joystick support is making excellent progress, 64 buttons for 32-bit operating systems and 128 buttons for 64-bit operating systems are basically confirmed. This should be great news not only for those lucky owners of Steel Battallion controllers among you. Now let's see what else this past week had to offer.

Updated vehicle: Modular weapons on the Oro, the Clan's heavy battle tank

Early in the advent calendar, we've been showing to you the four versions of the Inner Sphere's main battle tank, the Demolisher. As this vehicle turned out to become more and more popular in our playtests, Kamikaze successfully spiced up its Clan counterpart with modular weapons technology. In addition, the tank is now quite a bit bigger and bulkier, finally doing its weight of 80 tons justice. Check out the four currently implemented versions below and also note how the Inner Sphere's Longinus battle armor compares in size.


New map: ToA_IvoryTower

Those of you visiting the forums frequently are certainly well aware of this map. The team was quite impressed by Rolke's work and is proud to announce him as its newest developer and level designer. Below are not one, not two, but three panorama shots of this map. The first one shows a wide angle to give you an idea of the scale and dimensions this map will be playing on, the second one shows some of the scenery in a close up and the third screenshot shows one of the outposts. At this time, Ivory Tower is developed for the Trial of Annihilation (ToA) game mode. Please note that this map is still very early in development and therefore very much subject to change.


Bonus pictures

Here are a few pictures from this week's playtest.

Pretty epic pics, love the first one (feel so ashamed i don't recognize the 'mech :'() with the hollow looking lasers. I read somewhere years ago that the lasers themselves are actually invisible and the visible beams are emissions. Don't know if this is just a coincidence or if it will change, or if this is even true in the battletech universe, but i like it non theless

Woohoo....Im finally lucky for once in my life! :D I love the look of that Cougar in the last pic but that elemental's missile pods look stupid. Talk about fire support from that A variant Oro.

Love the hollow looking lasers.  Is that what you guys are aiming for the final lasers to look like?

And those missiles still look ridiculously big to me. :o

Glad to see those maps have made it in, it looks like the designer had already done a bit of work before joining the team.  Can't wait to try out that "A" variant.

Tanks look good. I'm glad the joystick support is going well. I have a 32 bit system, but 64 buttons sounds like plenty to me.

Methinks I might have to purchase the flight simulator controls just for this game.

Steel Battalion would be wicked.
