Woes of mapping

by mrfranswa on 1251917839|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Using a budget laptop, and a budget gaming pc can really be taxing. As many of you know, it is very system intensive to map for source, especially when it comes to compiling. One of the largest wastes of time when making a campaign such as this one, is the massive amount of time that goes into compiling.

I've been contemplating over the last few days about going a little in debt to upgrade my mobo and CPU. Doing so will cost me a few hundred dollars. I guess it depends if there are any great deals on labor day on newegg.

Anyone want to spare a dollar? :P

Event is a goooo!!!!!

by mrfranswa on 1251812636|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hey everyone,

Yesterday I had a successful meeting with the Towson University Gaming Organization. It was very informal, however they have agreed to help with my campaign release on Halloween! I am going to be giving the official presentation this upcoming Monday to iron out the details for the event. I have also received calls and emails from other campus organizations expressing interest in helping me set up this event!

More details soon!

Give me versus!!!

by mrfranswa on 1251604861|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Taking a new gander at my maps is making me access what I need to change about them. Thankfully, splitting up the maps has also given me hints of what to cut, and what to leave in. My vs maps should have an 50-80% increase in FPS over my campaign maps. This is mainly due to 2 things; 1- the maps are 1/2 as long, 2- I know what to look for in saving fps.

Even though Cold Case: Covert Operations will probably be playable some time tomorrow, it won't be distributed until I finish beta 3. That is due out on sunday to the testers.

VALVe... BAH!

by mrfranswa on 1251461833|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Trying to get into contact with VALVe for questions is like sticking your…….. well nevermind. Long story short it's CRAP!

Every time I try to get in contact with someone in Public Relations, I keep getting redirected to Doug Lombardi's massive "IN" box. If anybody has any advice for getting a hold of the PR department at VALVe, I would greatly appreciate it. We would also like to show our support for L4D2 at the event, (since it will only come out two weeks after the event takes place).

Work'in hard for the money!

by mrfranswa on 1251385183|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

As all of you may know, making a campaign is a LOT of work, especially when you aren't paid to do it! Times that by a campaign that is 2x the length of a valve campaign, 10X versus maps, 10X survival maps, moving to my new home, and putting together this event and you have insanity! I welcome the added stress, because I am doing something I really love. I hope to give all of my fans a gaming experience that is really extraordinary.

The progress of the event is very good. We are currently in the process of recruiting local sponsors. Over the next few weeks I will be finalizing the exact location of the event here at Towson University. As always, the online release party is already finalized. A lot of work has already gone into making this event a reality. As you might already know, there is already a strong fan base growing for this event both at home and on the internet! Over the next few weeks, you can find information about how to sign up for the event right here on the website.

The progress of the campaign is even better! To finish everything at one time, I have began recruiting community mappers to help me balance out the extensive versus campaign. Over the next week I will outline everything that WILL be distributed with the campaign, and what the contents will include. The only cut so far from the initial release is CC6, due to the fact I was unable to find a modeler before the deadline. Fear not however! This will only be content not initially distributed with the CD copy of the game due to be shipped out to pre-register's the first week of October. Any non-included content will be available free of charge on the numerous file sharing sites on the net!
