MWLL Weekly Update VIII - May09/4

Welcome to the eighth overall and fourth weekly update for May of 2009, presented by the team of the Crysis total conversion modification MECHWARRIOR: LIVING LEGENDS.

Another week has passed and still the pace is high. In today's update we're bringing to you a 3D panorama view showing the interior of the Mech hangar and some more delicious playtest screenshots. If you liked the sound of this, you'll love what else we have: we've got confirmed beta content. No, it's not a release date, but it's a signal to you that release is not far out anymore. Last but not least, we've got awesome news from Crytek, too. Enjoy this update!

Experience The New Mech Hangar

In our Weekly Update V, the first in May, we presented to you the new Mech hangar. Today, we've got something very special: a 3D panorama experience of the construction bay level of the hangar. Download the file below and simply follow the instructions given in the included Readme.txt file.

Confirmed Beta Content: Solaris Arena Maps

Yes, we're finally getting close and while we are not yet ready to announce a release date, we're able to confirm certain content that will be available in the first official relase of MechWarrior: Living Legends. While we originally expected to have two, maybe three maps for the Solaris Arena game mode, we're now happy to announce that no less than five maps will be released straight away. These five maps can be seen on the screenshots below. If you're missing your favorite map here, don't despair: these maps are the ones closest to being done, but that doesn't mean the other maps will never see the light of day.





MWLL Presents: Crytek's Newest Employee

If you've just had a deja vu, rest assured: no, we're not short on news and recycling old announcements. The team of MechWarrior: Living Legends is indeed proud to again present to you Crytek's newest employee. While it hardly comes as a surprise to see another talented developer being offered a job opportunity in the games industry, the team is still proud to see another one from its ranks take the next step. While, like last time, Crytek's newest employee has the Tracy family name, this time, it is MWLL's Co-Lead and Creative Director Daniel "Kamikaze" Tracy who went all the way from Canada to Frankfurt, Germany, to work at Crytek.

Please join the team in wishing Kamikaze a great time and career at Crytek.

Playtest Impressions

Again, here are a few pictures from this week's playtest.

Holy shit you devs were right about the hangar. I nearly wept a tear, almost. Instead I shat a house. There is so much detail, it's astounding. TY for the 3d panorama!

It's good to see that we're getting 5 maps for SA, and each one has a really cool theme. They all look beautiful. And is it just me, or is this weeks playtest showing more mechs moving that any other one!?

Also congrats to Kamikaze!

No, I mean, it says "Your download is starting.", and then it says "Page cannot be shown." I'm using FireFox, but when I tried with IE, it said the link is broken.
