Warm Gun Mod

[Warm Gun]

Hey Space Cats,

My Name is Joe and I just wanted to share with the Epic community our little Mod we call "Warm Gun".

The gist of it all is this...

The second coming of the wild west.
A futuristic western, Warm Gun combines the favorite motifs of the classic genre, with the scraps of an obliterated technocracy. Warm Gun is a Total Modification for Unreal Tournament 3; it features five game types, seven character classes and over 30 weapons.

We have been working hard over the last 8 months getting prepared for the release of UT 3 and now I'd like to share with you all some of our progress and hopefully get some feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out and feel free to visit us and post feedback...we are a dedicated team and will be seeing this project through to completion come hell or high water.

JC

Here are some samples of what we are creating...
Feel free to visit our forums http://www.warmgun.ca/forums/portal.php
or our homepage http://www.warmgun.ca (still under construction) for more samples of our work.

looks pretty sweet
whens the releaese

[Warm Gun]

As of right now we are aiming to have a beta out in the 2nd quarter of 2008.
It's a tight schedule and we are working our assess off...
I know thats pretty vague time line but it's a goal :)

[Dr.Crazyhead]

that looks seriously awesome!
and plzplzplz make space tra'er(tractor) a drivable vehicle!

Ha! How the hell do you get someone from DC Comics to do your conceptual art? We need someone for our conceptual art, too :) We have like 20 coders/level designers and no artists (University CS students).

Those are amazing.

ehehh I work with him...
We both work for the same studio.

Try advertising help wanted on the Mod DB http://www.moddb.com/

I found lots of help there...also try searching deviant art and places like that.

[samifira]

Looks fantastic. Great stuff so far and a cool idea. Best of luck to ya'll

[Warm Gun]

Thanks samifira...

Here are some more concepts...these are the character sheets...
Or models are all based off of these sheets...
if you compare the 49er model from my first post to the character sheet you will get a sence of what they will look like.

Thank you for showing some absolutely amazing amounts of ingenuity, skill, and artistic understanding. I truly love what you have so far, and it really seems quite refreshing compared to what most other mods are offering. I certainly hope that the gameplay side will be just as amazing as the artistic side. Bravo, and good luck.

Thanks for the kind words.

We are developing some innovative things that should enhance the gameplay, and set us apart from the typical shooters...we aim to bring to the table something that's new and refreshing compared to all the zombie alien space stuff...

The trend these days seems so generic and only a handful of killer games are out that really break the stereotypes. That's why we chose the Unreal engine...this technology is friggin amazing to work with... :cool:

[Geona]

I'm beginning to notice that now to be honest. it's not nearly as trivialized as people were making it out to be. sure, the graphics design side may be a larger pain than what's normal, but it's overall quite flexible. (I'm also noticing that the coding side must be rather flexible too, considering the game only just came out and there's a slew of interesting stuff already out. that 2D platformer mod has me really interested.)

[Warm Gun]

Yea the tutorials and the support in general for Unreal Technology is great...

Thats the recipe for success...
Look at the Source engine support...Valve has been supporting user made content from day one and it really pays off...and why not let people push your technology to the limits...it's really the way things ought to be.

[Warm Gun]

Well the Mod DB has announced the 2007 Awards and we have been nominated.
If any of you like what we are creating then swing on over and give us a vote...
just click this link http://www.moddb.com/mods/8654/warm-gun
We would really appreciate it.

And be sure to check out all our new media we have posted.

[FordPrefect]

Reminds me of the Gunman Chronicles somewhat.

[SigmaX]

This is going to be a great mod. There has been a lot of good work put into it already. I've voted for this mod for moddb's Mod of the year awards.

[Crrato]

I'll vote for it if you promise to release this awesome mod on PS3.....

[shadow skill]

I'll vote for it if you promise to release this awesome mod on PS3.....
Same here, I hope epic decides to release Unrealed as a seperate download too it really doesn't make sense to have to buy the game twice since you can 3d model etc on computers that are not nessecarily beastly.

[Warm Gun]

Yea we are looking into a PS3 port...
I think it would be stupid of us not to extend into the PS3 world...
Just that many more players.

It's really the way of the future...

Thanks for the votes guys...really great to see some support.

[Cold_Killer]

Good luck guys. The art is nice too. I like the girl with the hat. Is this the type of thing that could be carried over to the PS3?

EDITED: nvm someone beat me to the PS3 question :D

[Warm Gun]

Yea we are planning on releasing it to the PS3 at the same time as the PC release.
The port should be fairly easy from what we have heard.
(keeping our fingers crossed) :)

[Deathsnapper]

From what I have heard the program (I think it's just going to be the next version of frontend) will do the porting for you, so it should be very easy. Anyways, I did the vote couple weeks ago, looks like an amazing mod. Can't wait to play it :D

[Ero-Sannin]

a very nice and an appealing mod i must say. if i may ask how and who thought of this idea cuz its really refreshing for a mod.

[Staircase]

This just looks absolutely perfect. Thanks a bunch, now i am excited beyond belief. ;)

One question though. Do you think this will be able to run on the Playstation 3? I'm not really sure what does and doesn't work yet, since the mod support hasn't come yet.

Thank you, and ill be sure to keep checking back.

EDIT: Duh, should have checked the 2nd page. I really hope you get this working with the PS3, it would be perfect.

I voted this as Mod of the year. ;)

[Halocaust]

I gotta tell you guys. I got incredebly excited when I saw this mod. I'm buying a Playstation 3 soon just for this game and so far this mod is the one I am most looking forward to. Keep up the good work.

[Warm Gun]

Wow thanks for the great comments guys...
We are really working hard to bring it to life and the PS3 port will be high priority for us.

As for who thought up the idea...that was me, but the game has evolved over the last 8 months into something that I had never fully envisioned :)
I guess thats the joys of working with a dedicated team. (we have room for more)

Thanks so much for the votes...we are really busting our buts to have a pre-alph launch in Feb...then by April we should release an Alpha build.

Cant wait to have you all play it.

Here are some more videos and screens...

You can also download some holiday Wallpapers :)

[Grinchy]

Wow I can't wait for this mod! Keep up the good work

[Hammer_Fist]

It looks good to me. I like the fact that you did not make the lady to graphic. I do not like people that do that. But i hope you finish it because i would like to try it out. Good luck and merry christmas.

[cRaZyLaDy*SIG*]

Wonderful stuff!!! I love Westerns. I remember playing a little mod called Lawdogs and having a great deal of fun with it, but the mod was never polished due to need for more coders. There was also a game called Dead Man's Hand which was OK but had absolutely no admin control (sorta like UT3 is right now lol). I'm only interested in multiplayer with fair admin control.

Also, will this be a stand-alone mod or will it be like JailBreak, which, once installed becomes a gametype choice. Just askin' because the pics make me drool.

[RutRow]

Yes I have to agree with the Crazylady, it's exciting to see this kind of project being undertaken.

Lawdogs was a complete overlay on top of 2k4 (some great maps and game play) while DeadMan's hand simply used the UT2 engine. Both of them were lots of fun. If you have not already done some research on their efforts I would highly recommend it.

http://lawdogs.planetunreal.gamespy.com/modules/news/

Wishing you guys lots of luck & will be watching for your public releases.

[Warm Gun]

Thanks again for the kind words and feedback.
We will be making it a stand alone total conversion mod.

You guys really have a unique style!
I really enjoyed those sketches.
Voted for ya @ Moddb.
I will keep an eye one this one.

[Grinchy]

Voted again, can't wait to get my hands on it!

[PATSCRU]

This mod has me so freekin excited. I haven't seen such imagination and depth in a mod in a long long time. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[O-bla-di]

My first vote was impulse, based on the beautiful artwork.
My second vote was cast after reviewing the other entries.
Subscribed to thread, waiting it's release.
Awsome.:)

[Warm Gun]

Thanks so much for your support...

[Ceebert]

I've been following this thread and your official site a bit, and I must say this looks absolutely awesome.
I've been thinking of this mod for days straight and I just can't wait to play the first release. I love that you are also releasing this for PS3 since I don't have UT on my Mac.

[Warm Gun]

Thanks bro,

Yea things are really cooking...
We now have a few weapons in the game and the first level is about 50% complete...
She is right on track for a beta end of Feb...stay tuned cause we will need all the testers we can get :D

[Squiggles]

February! Excellent.

A futuristic western, Warm Gun combines the favorite motifs of the classic genre, with the scraps of an obliterated technocracy.
Coincedentally, have you ever seen Firefly/Serenity? Massive fan of that space western show :D Can't wait to try this. I love that whole mythos. I anxiously await the day when I get to plug another varmint with my six-shooter. Being able to hold two at once would be neat too, btw ;) Can't help feeling like a cowboy dual wielding enforcers in UT3 as it is.

[Ceebert]

Thanks bro,

I'd love to test the PS3 version, that's for sure!
When do we get some in-game screenshots? =)

C-Bert

[Warm Gun]

We have had our first two initial gameplay sessions (builds) and things are shaping up.

Once we get the interface down and a few more weapons into the game I think we will start posting screens.

I'll be sure to keep you cats informed and updated on the goods.

JC

[Grinchy]

When you guys do get finished and have some kind of time to work on getting it on the PS3, what do you think you'll do about custom sounds? That's assuming that there will be custom sounds.

I think you can convert all the audio files to ATRAC3 yourself, but I know just about nothing when it comes to making mods. I can't even begin to comprehend how much goes into something like you're doing with warm gun. It's awesome and I can't wait to see it.

[R8bit]

Looks pretty awesome of course.

[Warm Gun]

what do you think you'll do about custom sounds? That's assuming that there will be custom sounds.

We are aiming to do a total conversion...so all the sounds...from footsteps to user interface will be original. I'm not totally sure on the PS3 conversion and what formats are supported, we are treading new ground right now but we have a great sound crew and the coders will make it happen :D

For the Alpha and even the Beta you will still see stock UT3 models and sounds...as we get further into development everything will eventually be converted and Warm Gun will be a total conversion in every way.

Thats the projected goal :D

[Th3-James]

holy crap man! those are really good character models

[splurge123]

How big will the download be for Warm Gun when it's released? Estimating of course.

[90hoursleep_]

wow .. that is truly amazing .. i still don't understand how this will work though ..

i mean , warm gun will be the default 'style' (idk what the word would be) if it is in my mod list ??

sorry im a n00b ... and a ps3 owner .. im hoping this does come to ps3 .. either way , all of your effort is appreciated ..

[Eclipze_]

I heard that these kind of Mods can be moved over to the PS3, and I hope thats true. One of the things I like the most about moding is it can become a different game from what you've bought.

I would like to help out with it, I wish I had the talent to do it. Im currently trying to learn this kind of stuff from my school (although if one of you guys like to teach then I'd be glad).

[Warm Gun]

How big will the download be for Warm Gun when it's released? Estimating of course.

Right now I cant even come close to predicting the file size...
It all depends on how much content we get in the game for Beta...


i still don't understand how this will work though ..

i mean , warm gun will be the default 'style' (idk what the word would be) if it is in my mod list ??

I'm not sure just yet either...like I said we are treading new ground making a cross platform mod so we don't have all the details ironed out just yet. The ultimate goal would be to make it a stand alone install and you would just load us from the PS3 menu...off the HD, but I think we will most likely be in a list once you load up UT3 :)

I know for PC we can make it a stand alone game...just install it and click the desktop icon...

Give us another couple months to release the alpha and we should know more at that time.

Once again thanks for the killer feedback and kind words.
Oh and we are always looking for talented people to join and help out so feel free to drop us a line...

[Warm Gun]

Hey Gang,

Gonna be posting some ingame screens this weekend... we have been doing weekly builds and the stuff is really coming together.

But to every up side there is always a down... We need some help...
If you have the talent and want to join a dedicated team...read this.


The Warm Gunners have been working hard over the past 10 or so months but things have started to really get overwhelming.
We just lost a few key members due to them getting jobs so now we are looking for some new blood.

We have a solid base and are moving forward with kick ass progress but like any big project we could always use some help.

We are reaching Alpha stages and are in desperate need for texture artists and character modelers...
We need people with experience who know how to import...rig and get things done.

There are also openings in other areas such as coding (always) and level design.

It's been a long road and we are still on target but with some extra help I think we can really raise the bar.

If you are looking to join a successful team of dedicated individuals then please post some samples either in this forum or preferably on our website... http://www.warmgun.ca/forums

You can see what we have accomplished so far here... http://www.moddb.com/mods/8654/warm-gun


JC

[Ceebert]

Any updates yet? :)

[Nevada92]

Any updates yet?
I'd be interested in that, too!

[Warm Gun]

Hey Guys,

We have been holding off on any updates for a few weeks now...
We are gearing up for our Alpha build and rather than show crap we want to wait and show something kick ass :)
The Alpha build is slated for Feb 30th and we will be releasing 2 levels with the build.

For now I'll just say this...
We are working our butts off...
As soon as we start nearing the build release I'll be on here posting ingame shots.
Just know this...we are on a mission and we aim to deliver.

[Nevada92]

feb 30th?
does that mean it will never release or did you just forget feb has max 29 days?

[Warm Gun]

This year is a leap year so we have 29 days hehehe :D
Sorry for posting that...heheh I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree

[MikeCandler]

This year is a leap year so we have 29 days hehehe :D
Sorry for posting that...heheh I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree

Ha ha smooth :).

Looking forward to seeing the pre-alpha build, certainly is great the work you guys are doing!!

[Death Dream]

Your concept artist is very talented and knows he is doing.

~Death Dream~

[Warm Gun]

Hey Gang...

Got a news update for you all...
Some new media shots and a look into where we are at.

Well we are on schedule and pushing hard to make the Closed Alpha deadline. We are hoping to invite a few friends at the end of this month to join us in a closed Alpha build of Warm Gun. The build will include:

* Kill Cam
* 1 Character Class (49er)
* Full Weapon Load-out for the 49er
* 3 Original maps (CTF, DM and TDM)
* Original Music score
* Interface Rebuilt
* WG Installer

We have uploaded some new images in the Mod DB gallery for you to check out. As well we will be updating at the end of this month with some new ingame video footage.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/preacher_front.jpg

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/Outlaws_Ben.jpg

Stay tuned for some killer things from the Warm Gunners...We are moving forward in great strides and the PS3 port should be right around the corner as well. Our goal is to release the Public Alpha with all 6 characters on both PC and PS3 by the end of June.

[NyghtcrawleR]

The epic better fix the freaking heads on the ps3 asap. Good work though.

[Rocknificent]

The end of the month is near, any updates?

[Hyrage]

Wow I truly love this one :D
http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/Outlaws_Ben.jpg

Amazing job and talent out there! Can't wait for the update!

[Rocknificent]

do we have an alpha release yet?

[BananaXtreme]

He warm gun. If you need an alpha / beta tester for PS3, PM me ;)

[Rocknificent]

Guys, did this mod die? It's on the second or third page on the forums, where as it used to be one of the first. I am excited about the upcoming alpha release, but we've had no word yet.

[beef1187]

Go to their homepage. http://www.warmgun.ca/

since they updated recently (like a month and a half ago) you would have to think the mod isn't dead. It takes time to create things... but you know that. Just go to their site.

All of the media so far looks really nice, i like the concept art. The team is pretty expansive and the website is even very professional, great work!

[Warm Gun]

Hey guys...
We are alive and well...
We are running a tiny bit late on our closed Alpha.
We are pushing for this Sunday.

We wanted to get a few more things polished before we started inviting friends to try it out.
Things are going well for us and we just got sponsored from http://artofwarcentral.com/gameservers.asp# Art Of War Central.
They are helping us by giving us server hosting and ventrillo hookups.

This is really helpful to get us up and running...also part of the reason we are delayed a week...we wanted to get the server set up for downloading etc.

So keep the faith and expect some new news by next weekend.

JC

http://emotionalrobots.com/images/632.jpg

[cryingscotsman]

Add me to the list of people who are totally blown away by the promise of this - especially if its good to go on the PS3!!

[beef1187]

Very sweet picture.

A dank, dark cave would look awesome in UE3, looking forward to seeing more.

[Tweakd]

Great artwork there guys. You have my support!

[skieing]

I am so exited for this one, you guys seem like professionals

[Rocknificent]

So, it's next weekend, do we have an update on the progress? or when to expect an alpha release?

[Warm Gun]

Oh man we are on it...
We are neck deep into this and I just had to clean house.
We just got rid of 10 members and brought in some new blood so things have been a little crazy with the shuffle.

We are aiming for a June public release.
There are 4 levels in playable shape and we are now crunching to get more weapons in and the characters rocking.

I'll post some in game screenshots of the levels tomorrow...

[BuSyMan]

"I has a pickaxe" <-- LOL

[Squishy]

Looks like you're making some great progress! I look forward to some ingame screens of the levels! This mod is starting to make my gun warm, if you know what i mean. ;)

Sorry, i couldn't help myself.

[Warm Gun]

HEEHEH Screens are on the way today...

[haslo]

Yay, looking forward to it :D

This must be the most anticipated TC out there right now :)

[Warm Gun]

Here are some Work In progress shots...
Please don't accept this as the final product...
We are incorporating the hud and there is still a ton of work to do.
I'll post more ingame shots tomorrow of other levels and other weapons...
We are plugging away and your gonna see some vast improvements real soon.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/test2.jpg

The ship in the background will be a focal point of the level...running around fragging in a swamp thats toxic and shanty looking.
This level would represent one end of the spectrum...a wet overgrown trashy setting that people have settled in.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/test3.jpg

The pick axe needs to be repositioned and placed lower so please excuse the high placement. We are on it.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/test1.jpg

[Warm Gun]

Here are some other shots from ingame...
These are used as test shots...
Just to show what we are aiming for...
Remember these are WIP shots and do not reflect the final product by any means :D

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/test7.jpg

The cave needs to be re textured I know :)

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/test8.jpg

[Knifey]

Looks awesome I cant wait for the release

[nero25]

i cant wait too hope the mod will be ready soon were you plaze the mod in full realse it look realy good

[Karma_Khameleon]

bugger me sideways that is TREMENDOUS!!!

[XenonG]

Wow, this is incredible, bump for more people to see it.

[Warm Gun]

Got some new stuff for you cats to see...
We are getting there...each day is bringing us closer to the June Public Alpha.

These vids are just WIP stuff...
Give us another couple weeks and your gonna see a huge improvement.

[NOTMahblack]

This mod looks cool, but you may want to check out "Fistful of Frags", a mod for Half-Life 2. This is pretty much the exact same concept with different guns. Not that I'm complaining. Just saying it's not as original as you think it is. Also not much of a fan of the name "Warm Gun". How about "Blazing Gun" or "Searing Gun" or "BigPimpin' Gun" or anything a little less docile than "Warm Gun". I can't take that title seriously. And yes, "BigPimpin' Gun" was a joke. <.< Or was it >.>

[AustinPowers]

Fistful of Frags looks neat, but it's not the same concept. Warm Gun is set in the future around the year 2088, it's the second coming of the Wild Wild West sort of speak, the world is a vast land of destruction, buildings of today are in ruins, technology has been set back to the time of the wild west era. So you will see a combination of items from the future and items from the past.

We also have a few great gametypes in development and some really innovative game features.

As for the Name, well, you would have to ask Joe :) I know there is Beatles song called "Happiness is a Warm Gun" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_Is_a_Warm_Gun


We are still hard at work, a few of our levels are coming along very nice, stay tuned for more updates.

[Warm Gun]

HEHEh Yea I actually have played Fist Full of Frags.
Great Mod...lots of fun but we are not even close in resemblance.
Once the Alpha is released in June you will sing a different tune.

As for the name...If ya don't like it...thats cool by me.
Cant please all the people all the time.

[BuSyMan]

I hear you guys are in need of someone to rig your chars up (got your Email)... sorry I can't help you... I currently can't commit myself to something this big and I probably don't have enough experience anyway...
Keep up the good work on this awsome mod :D

[Warm Gun]

Thanks for the Reply BuSyMan...I guess you live up to your name :D Busy Man :)

Yea we are looking for some serious help to get our characters into the game and set up properly. We have 3 out of the 6 characters complete and ready to go but we really need a guy to step up and help get it into the game properly.

Thats why I have been trying to recruit some new blood...
someone with the skill set to skin and rig these characters properly.

Here are some recent shots of the latest charcter.

This is the preacher

If all goes well this is definitely something we should see in the Make Something Unreal contest...

[campbullard]

I personally think the name is awesome, but that might just be because I'm a huge Beatles fan.

[Warm Gun]

EHEHEH Thanks bro, yea I did get the name from the Beatles song...but hey its a damn good tune.

Time for an update...
As we get deeper into development and new content starts rolling in much quicker we have decided to commit to doing weekly updates. So with that being said, you can expect a Warm Gun update every Friday. So now onto business...

Models is spelled "modes" in all of those screens. But yeah, they look amazing.

[campbullard]

Wow, that's the best fun model I've ever seen.

[Warm Gun]

Thanks for pointing out the spelling error...
Nothing worse than making spelling mistake, and releasing it to the public.
Thanks bro great catch...

[Warm Gun]

Small Update for you cats...
Here is another Friday update from your dedicated Warm Gunners...
We are doing weekly play tests and the stuff is really coming together. There will be new videos posted later this weekend, we have some test animations for the weapons as well as video footage from in-game.

Here are a couple shots of DM-Overgrown, these are still early production shots but you can get a feel for the atmosphere.

Here are some other concepts...there are model shots and just level concepts... Next weeks update will be more hefty and you will get a better feel for the new content.

Stay tuned for a big update next Friday

[haslo]

Awesome as usual :)

Not sure if the high-tech skyline in the back of that lake fits the setting ... but I guess since you're the ones making the setting in the first place it does? From the earlier screens I kinda thought it would be wild-west of sorts, not scifi...

The city background is just a placeholder atm.

[Warm Gun]

Yea exactly...
Anything you see thats not looking like it belongs...
Thats a placeholder :)

The game will really have a western feel but in a post-apocalyptic setting.
I know its hard to picture it now, but as we get more and more content in it will become clear as day.

[Mahblackakes]

I don't know how you made those models. You must be cheating. Perhaps paying someone at Epic on the sly, mmmm? No, but seriously, how the blank did you make those? Is the Unreal Editor really THAT much better than Hammer?

[AustinPowers]

you mean the models, like the boat docks? those are all 3DSM... as is much of all our models

and, yes, UED is much better then Hammer...

[Warm Gun]

Ok so its another Friday and is time for...Whats been cooking in the Warm Gun kitchen. This weeks update has a little flavor from all over the place, we got Audio cookies...Weapon Soup and Animation Steak. (Not sure why I'm on the food tip)

So first things first, you can check out some new render shots we have of the Scouts crossbow...
The crossbow was designed by James Towne and modeled by Pieter Kuijt, it's a steam enhanced / modified crossbow that will be able to wreak havoc from long range.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/6.jpg

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/5.jpg

We also have some test animations to show you guys... This is the Ak 47 reload and firing animations...they are just test videos but we like to get feedback often and early so here it is.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=MNN4ETyoHp8

As for the Audio goodness...We have uploaded one of the many ingame tracks for your listening pleasure. This song was produced and composed by Micky Ogando, you can download it from Mod DB here... http://www.moddb.com/mods/8654/warm-gun/downloads/10705/warm-gun-audio-flame-song-working-title
Be sure to check it out and give Micky some feedback...he is on a real mission to bring the proper feel to the game.

As always the Warm Gunners are looking for more talented individuals to help out, so if you have what it takes to dedicate yourself to a team of die hards then by all means visit our forums and show us your work. http://www.warmgun.ca/forums/portal.php

Have a great weekend...

[Adam]

Looks like someone has mastered the art of the clay render ;)

Looking good guys.

[Warm Gun]

Well this week has seen some big change for the Warm Gun team...
We lost 3 members this past week who were all picked up by professional studios.
This is the main reason for us to be in this mod world so I look at it as a positive thing, these 3 members were an integral part of our operations so with them moving on we now have positions open.
If your looking to join a project that will get your work noticed feel free to visit our forums and post your work. We are looking for 3D talent as well as Texture artists.
You can apply here... http://www.warmgun.ca/forums/portal.php

So now onto this weeks update...
First up we have some new weapon renders, these shots feature the outlaw pistol.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/outlaw_pistol_3.jpg

Next up we have A new Character render to show...Unfortunately the modeler has bailed so its not finished...it will need some love, so if your a character molder please step up and help out.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/bigguy.jpg

Next is the blacksmiths Gatling Gun... This is also a WIP shot...

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/Gun2.jpg

Next week we will have some fly by videos of the newest level...that should hopefully get people up to speed on what the Warm Gun world will look like. We have had so many comments about how confusing the genre is so we have hired a new writer to help re-evaluate the Warm Gun back story so expect to get a more detailed impression of the story soon. Thanks again for the great feedback... we are pushing forward as always.

[SDX]

wow wow and more wow...

I wonder if my lappy with GeForce 8600M GT will have achance in running this... Do you plan to make a low graphics mode too, like UT3 details-2 textures-2 ? :) just kidding, noone cares about low-end or notebooks :)

[Bi()ha2arD]

[LtClifff]

OMG how did i not know about this!!!!! Loooks Awesome!!!

[DarkMater PT]

Hey Warm Gun do you have a release date in mind?

[Warm Gun]

We are going to release this level as an alpha test the end of this month.
Hopefully with one character (Preacher) and a couple weapons.

Something for the public to sink their teeth into while we get this sucker made :p

[LtClifff]

awesome!!!

[Warm Gun]

Here are a couple new level screens for you guys.
The level is called Red River Canyon
It's a CTF level.

The work you are doing surpasses Epics...

[Yongmonrathen]

The work you are doing surpasses Epics...

Now I wouldn't say that. Epic created the tools. These gifted modders are using the tools correctly.

[UnrealBomber]

Ok I am just BLOWN AWAY by this. THe graphics are like so real it's UNREAL but it still looks every bit Lifelike

[LtClifff]

Now I wouldn't say that. Epic created the tools. These gifted modders are using the tools correctly.

Maybe... But those screens look alot better than stock UT3

[nero25]

i no that grapic and it ut3 in game that how good the gme ut3 loks

[Der_Schreiner]

Hui, this looks cool...

Respect to you guys!

Although I don't think there's a chance that us PS3 folks will ever be able to play this, am I right?
Anyway, cheers :)

[Warm Gun]

Actually we are aiming to release for the PS3 shortly after we release the PC version.
So expect to play Warm Gun on PS3 :)

[pcguy82]

Dam dude this game looks amazing i hope it goes well for you guys on everything and i will definitely be on the lookout for this game.Keep up the work guys

This weeks update we try once again to bring a mix of everything...
We have lots of new images in our gallery so stop on by and check em out.
First on todays list is...
The dual pistols for the preacher class character.
These pistols are titled "Heaven and Hell", they are the preachers main weapons.
The dark "Hell" pistol fires incendiary rounds and the "Heaven" pistol shoots silver bullets. (subject to change).

http://warmgun.ca/media/m_heavennhell.jpg


Next up we have a selection of prop models...we have a great talented team of guys who are doing all the little time consuming things and they never get the recognition. So here are a few samples of what you will find in our world.

Thanks for your continued support and feedback.

[LtClifff]

holymoly those screens are just awesome... All the guys on your team are seriously talented...

[nesneros]

That is awesome keep updates coming ^_^

[Yoshi_last]

theses pics look ******* awsome (censored by me lol)

[nekrophiliak]

These look great, I can't wait to see the finished mod!

[campbullard]

Looks good. I'm gonna have to reinstall UT3 when this comes out.

[Pimenta1com1batata]

Hell of a great job there, but i have some questions if you could answer me please:
1st-will warm gun maps be available on UT3 and will you put weapon mutators to replace UT3 weapon's by WG weapon's?
2nd-are you adapting well to the ps3 hardware will be any diference betwene pc and ps3?
3rd- are you a smal company? or some budies that do this on their freetime? eitherway, are brainstorming something to do after WG?
I'm sorry if i im being a pain in the place, but im fascinated by your work and id like to know more about it, hell it look's so good that might be an equilavent to Counter Strike, wich was an mod for half life, and please, by the name of the UT3 comunity continue to do the exlent work.

P.S- i'm not english so sorry if i did grammar mistakes:D

[Warm Gun]

Hey thanks for the great feedback guys.

Pimenta1com1batata to answer your questions...
1. We will be starting our testing in this manner...releasing levels for ut3 and weapons as we get them finished...but in the end we will be releasing it as a stand alone mod...total conversion, with no UT3 elements.

2. Yes we are planning a PS3 release shortly after we release on the PC. As of right now we are getting all the assets onto the PS3 without any major issues...the only thing we are going to have a hard time with is sound.

3. We started as a group of online members and we just signed a deal to get some funding for Warm Gun so things are looking up...but in no way are we a profesional studio . As for future projects its still way to early for us to get into...we all have day jobs so all we are concerned with is this game for now :)

Here are some new images for you guys to check out...

The dual pistols for the preacher class character.
These pistols are titled "Heaven and Hell", they are the preachers main weapons.

or here at our official site... http://warmgun.ca/

[Pimenta1com1batata]

thank you for the answers, im anxious to start using your incredible mods, and besides y have one idea if you want to use it, imagine a comon pump action shotgun, now imagine a revolver, now combine the two, one shotgun with the revolver cilinder in witch the shotgun shells are loaded, and the pump action removed, and reload sequence would like an ordinary revolver, secondary fire would trow the revolver cilinder like a grenade and bumm, i hope i was usefull, and if you want more ideas, you can ask the comunity, thank you for your time warm gunners.

[LtClifff]

I have an idea!!! AN AUTOMATIC REVOLVER. EH? what do ya think. The barrel revolves really quickly, and something to do with steam power means there is low recoil!

I know you probably wont make this but i liked the idea when i though about it :D

[Warm Gun]

Thanks guys,

We do have a pistol shotgun mix...
It fires normal pistol rounds but carries a shotgun round for close range destruction.
Here is a pic of it...

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/lawgiver2.jpg

As for steam revolvers and automatic stuff...
Your going to see a whole bunch of cool new designs...
Wait till you see the Gatling gun...its bad ass :)

[LtClifff]

havent we already seen a pic of the gatlign gun? Anyway, all of your stuff is top notch!

[nesneros]

Wondering.. are mods able to xfer to the PS3 version..? If so that would be hot as hell.

[AustinPowers]

We will be releasing for the PS3 soon after the PC release.

[Bret Hart]

Whoa this is nice!

[nesneros]

Hell yeah it is..!

[duskblade]

i cant wait to see the release of this... it looks beastly

[4TX4]

Impressive! If you manage to finish this (in time), you might have a winner.

[Warm Gun]

August has been our most productive month so far, this month we have seen huge strides in the back end... we now have the full total conversion implemented, new UI and interface is under construction and updates are now coming every day. For this update we will be showing a nice collection of character / props / levels and concepts...

To start things off we have a couple new concepts to show, as well as some level props. You can view more images at http://www.moddb.com/mods/warm-gun/images

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/Barrel.jpg

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/hanging_tree_op.jpg


Next up is the Preacher, we are super stoked to finally show off our first textured character. We will be posting in game footage of the preacher in action next week, we have him implemented and just have to do some final tweaks before we release media.

To round out this update I'll post a couple more level shots from one of our first two levels. These shots are from CTF-Red_River_Canyon. In our first Alpha release we will be offering a DM level and this CTF level.

We are so close to releasing a build for you all to test... we have a sponsored server running our custom content and we are getting things set up. We just don't want to release a dud and lose peoples interest. So stay tuned for more updates, we are moving forward like a freight train...

Oh and we need coders... We are in desperate need of coders...
The amount of work we have is crazy, we just need a push in the code department.
Someone who is familiar with UScript and can help get out assets put into place.
Please email us if your in the market to join a highly determined team.

[Bret Hart]

I declare this the MSU winner!

[LtClifff]

I declare it joint winner with angel falls first if that was possible!

seriously guys this stuff is absolutley awesome!

[brisingre]

This looks incredible! I love westerns...

[Euthanized]

This looks amazing, but I have a question/concern. Why does the leather that the preacher wears look more like something metallic. I believe it's just due to the high specularity, but something that seems to bug me.

[Warm Gun]

In game it does not look so glossy
Its just the rendering he did in max
Ill post some screens next update and show you what he looks like ingame
Thanks for the feedback... its the sort of thing we need to know

[Warm Gun]

New screens...
More on the way soon
Got some big updates for you guys to check out.

[Brits__Hit]

Very, very nice. The level design shots (particularly the last one) are especially nice.

Is that blood on the brave or paint? If it's blood it should be a lot darker. Even if it's paint it could stand to be darker.

[stevelois]

I didn't see that mod since today and frankly this mod is going to be the most highly quality modern western mod I saw since I play PC games (couple of years now) :D

I'm lucky to like western type game very much :)

It is very enjoying to see all these fabulous concept arts.

Funny because layout speaking some of the screens remind me of the 'Lawdogs' mod for UT2004. The rendered graphics are simply astonishing !

I wish you best of luck for your meeting your deadline. Your team are extremely talented & this is a mod I'll try for sure ;)

[genthly]

Hey there WarmGun fellas
Looks like a nice mod you have there. I was working on some western maps lately. (non-public)
If you're interested in adding a mapper to your team just pm me ;)
Cheers

[Zeb89]

Simply amazing.

[O-bla-di]

Subscribing to this thread,when I did, was such a good move. :D

Awsome stuff! I look forward to playing this.

[JumaAm]

1 more month & this will probably be done. Can't wait

[Ceebert]

Very, very nice. The level design shots (particularly the last one) are especially nice.

Is that blood on the brave or paint? If it's blood it should be a lot darker. Even if it's paint it could stand to be darker.

I Agree. Darker red would look much better, try it out!

Still, very good job with everything :)

[Rocknificent]

any updates?

[Warm Gun]

Big update on the way
Give us till Friday
Got some really great stuff to show you guys

[nardix]

Was that a magnum .357 with a sextant applied to it?

[Warm Gun]

HAHAHH Something like that...
Its a hing system for the gun to fold down on...
Not sure what scraps the gun was made from but could have been a sextant :p

[Warm Gun]

Ok here ya go guys... got a couple new shots for ya...

[Angel_Mapper]

I'm going to go the next logical step from "this thread is useless without pics" and say this thread is useless without a download link. Do want. :mad:

[Rocknificent]

Any recent updates?

[Warm Gun]

Yea Ill post some news tomorrow...

[Brits__Hit]

I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on this mod.. there is some serious talent at work here.

The first model on this page is damn ugly, but in a good way ;)
His design is very creative and the details are astounding. Just look at the metal plate poking out of his skin on the top of his head, or his right bicep or the detail of his tricep/elbow.
I really shouldn't isolate parts of the model for comment, because the whole thing reeks of amazingness.. it's crazy

The second character is nice but I don't think the texture does the model justice. The texturer has the right idea with the colours and layout but the overall detail level isn't up to par
Mainly the cloth areas need work

Really nice stuff done so far guys!


@Rocknificent: you didn't even comment on the last update and now you're asking for a new one after just a week? Come on man, at least give em some feedback...

[Angel_Mapper]

Here's the feedback: Nice postcards, now download link or gtfo. ;)

[Brits__Hit]

Yah! You Warm Gun guys should hurry up and release an unpolished, hella buggy version so it can be easily scrutinized...
90% of failed mod teams make that mistake, but it would surely benefit you guys.

[Angel_Mapper]

Yes, because that's exactly what I said or implied. :rolleyes:
In 11 days it will have been a year since this thread was posted, and it's understandable that people are getting impatient for a release.

[Warm Gun]

Were trying to get it ready for release in May.
Were aiming for the 3rd phase of the MSUC
I know its a long wait and yes we have been at it for over a year now...
We just dont feel its ready for consumption just yet...
A few more months and we will have a public beta...
Hopefully we can keep your attention and make a quality game.

[Chaosnight]

Well this is one amazing mod so ill wait no matter how long it takes, the stampeder is a beast! I cant wait to try that bad boy out hehe.

[Rocknificent]

@Rocknificent: you didn't even comment on the last update and now you're asking for a new one after just a week? Come on man, at least give em some feedback...

I should have been giving feedback, agreed. But I figured everyone else has already said what I've been thinking. These models are top notch. I've been following the mod since the beginning. Another thing I didn't notice was that i posted that pretty recently after the latest update before then, so that is completely my fault. The blacksmith is looking absolutely incredible by the way, along with the stampeder. I couldn't be more excited.

Keep up the good work. This has incredible potential to win the MSUC. Best of luck to you guys. Sorry for being so annoying with my constant update requests, but these incredible models, designs, and concepts make me hunger for more.

[frvge]

Why are you only going for 3rd? I think all TC-teams should just use all the time they have for the polishing. So use that time to submit something great in Phase 4.

[Warm Gun]

We will aim for phase 3 and phase 4
Thats the plan... You can enter in all the phases if you choose.

[Brits__Hit]

@Rocknificent: sorry if I came off a bit harsh, I just thought it was a little early to be asking for updates. I can understand your anticipation for this mod though ;)

I'm sure they'll do very well in the MSUC, if not win best mod.

[stevelois]

This will be a hell of a mod :D

Quality is always more important than quantity & these folks are well aware of that ;)

[Rocknificent]

Any new models for us to devour? I can't wait to see what else you guys produce.

[LtClifff]

Been awhile now! This still livin?

[Whiskey 7]

I've been absent for a while sadly, but add it is a great pleasure to see stuff of this quality still in the Unreal world - Well done.

I do hope this mod is as Warm Gun says ^ that this does make it to the 3rd phase of the MSUC

[Warm Gun]

Update coming this week...
We are going full tilt...
Its starting to come together.

[coolcat22]

good new i cant wait tooo try tis game type

[leakingpaint]

Oh man you guys need to finish this - I've been dying to try this out. It looks awesome!

Don't worry, rest assured we are still working very hard on this, we will try to provide a update asap.

Thanks for the comments everyone...

Have a great holiday!

[Warm Gun]

Ok finally we are back with an update...
Things have been crazy with the holidays and its taken a few extra days to put it all together for you guys...
Hope you like it.

This months update for Warm Gun features a ton of concept art as well as work in progress model shots. Oh and there are some new videos to show as well. Things are going great for the team and the long awaited release is just around the corner.

First up on today's update chopping block is concept art... The 2D team has been really stepping up and laying it out,

[stevelois]

Incredible concepts !

Will be a must try and a big THX for the updates :D

Happy holiday's & happy new year to you & your devoted team ! :D

[leakingpaint]

...It's coming...2009...
As Rod and Kevin would say..."Cool Beans" The translation from concept to models and texturing has really developed nicely. Great work.

[Brits__Hit]

Love that Red River Canyon concept style.

Great update

The skull is really cool. Awesome modelling job too

[Staward]

The plants looks almost real! I honestly wasn't so interested in this mod, but now it caught my atention...

[Yongmonrathen]

I hate to sound like an ass but their is no brow ridge on the skull, it's just a little too round up their.

[Warm Gun]

I hate to sound like an ass but their is no brow ridge on the skull, it's just a little too round up their.

Thanks for the feedback, we are always open to constructive criticism...
As for the skull, its such a small prop that we wont be going back to it but for future skulls i'll let him know to add a brow :D

Thanks again for the comments guys, were really doing a ton of work and you will see some ingame footage real soon.

[Brits__Hit]

The Scout looks much better than he did. Nice work @ Kimman!

I still think the blood is too bright, though :P

[djroby]

if the game will have a plot like gears of war for example,it will be a GREAT game !

[Azilla]

i jus hope the gameplay is incredibly original and fun. Gears sucked by the way, i HATE super-masculine soldiers, they make me vomit. on an artistic note, do you think the scout's skin should be darker? so that the contrast between white paint and his skintone is more noticeable. More aztec brown, than i don't know what type of skin tone that is.... biracial native-american? ehem.... Yeah, i think white paint on a "white" indian is a bit excessive, but if he was brown! Oh the wonders. Mabye he is making a statement, eh?

[Warm Gun]

Got some new media for you guys...

Shaman concept looks so cool

Nice work on everything!

LOVE the Shaman...

[Angel_Mapper]

So... is this a texture and static mesh pack or is there a mod being released in here somewhere? ;)

[Warm Gun]

So... is this a texture and static mesh pack or is there a mod being released in here somewhere? ;)

This is a total conversion game...
We are gearing up for the Make Something Contest
You should see a release sometime in May
We really don't want to disappoint...
Its been a long slow road but were getting it there :rolleyes:

[Pimenta1com1batata]

i now it's kinda late, but congrats for the second straight year on the ModDB Top 100, its true you have delayed a lot, but you are doing this in a more hobbie way, and from that point of view i must say that you are indeed very talentous, by the way, Nuno Ramalho,peço desculpa mas que tipo de curso tiraste, eu estou a pensar seguir a mesma linha de trabalho que tu, ja estive a procura mas nao sei exactamente qual e o curso, podias ajudar.

Well, thanks for the good work so far, and i expect the work done by may (just kidding)

[Angel_Mapper]

Any updates?

[Kantham]

Gotta put some of that warming on those guns.

[H3xx99]

Happiness is a warm gun... sorry, I just noticed this and it popped into my mind ;)
I can't wait for a release! the screen shots look wicked!:D

[Warm Gun]

Sometimes its hard to describe what we do... Sometimes its hard to get our point across... Sometimes we struggle to get our %$#@ together. Were just an indie team with a dream ya know, so with that being said...

Its been a few months and we have been laying low... I know there have been lots of emails and messages asking whats up... are we dead... is the mod done? ect. Let me get this straight once and for all... we will never fold this game or this team... we have a solid core group and we have one mission statement "Get It Done" Nothing else matters...we will see this through till the end come hell or high water.

I'd also like to let the community know what we are planning and why we have been so under the radar... We opened a studio location here in Niagara Falls Canada, its a nice little office with a board room and space for us to get this thing done... My goal for the company is to bring in the team from around the world over the next year or so and really take this game to the next level. Right now there is just 3 of us on location but we are making it happen...these things take a ton of time.

We have been taking steps to make this company a living breathing entity...
We joined with Intel as a partner and with the tools they have available we can now start getting the game to where we want.

We are trying to bring more than just a mod to you guys, were trying to make this a living breathing stand alone game... and I just want you all to know how much we appreciate the support and feedback... we are working big time to get this thing off the ground. I guess thats the word from my end... I'll post a little video of the studio and some pictures so you can see where we are coming from... right out of the trenches.

Anyways on to the new media... sorry for rambling... just want you all to know where our hearts are at and where we are heading...

Fly by Videos... (HD available)

This first one is CTF-Red River Canyon,

We also have some Audio stuff for you die hards who like to see inside the makings of a game.
This video here is a sample of the voice over recordings for the Preacher character.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/warm-gun/videos/preacher-voice-recording-session

We also have a download posted so you can hear some high quality recordings of his voice...
http://www.moddb.com/mods/warm-gun/downloads/preacher-raw-voice-recordings

Hopefully this will give you an idea of how much we are putting into this...
I'll be posting more screens over the weekend, stay tuned and keep an eye out.

In closing I'd like to put out this rally cry to any of you searching for a team to join...
We are hungry as hell for this game to get off and running... we need help in many areas still... If your looking for a home and a place to get noticed send me a message or email me
joseph.cleary@emotionalrobots.com

Thanks again for the support and feedback...

[coolcat22]

wow this look great so fare and it good too read you guys still working on this mod plz get some beta out someday so pll here can try it and give some feedback

[stevelois]

Every time there is pics posted, it's always awesome & none the less :D

I was reading the full post & I wish you best of luck & all the necessary resources to truly make this mod live as a standalone game :)

You guy's already have something essential which is 'determination' ;)

I'll be happy to make B1 a try when time come :)

[mel_danes]

The work overall has been stellar guys. Good luck with the company, great idea there.
The preacher video is priceless. The voice recording is good quality, your actor just needs to let go and be natural, less reading more acting. I'm sure you'll get it down.
Seriously looking forward to more updates.

[leakingpaint]

Good luck, I've been following this like many of the other community members, be great to see the work once you guys have compiled it into a playable game / mod.

[Warm Gun]

Hey Hey just wanted to drop another line to the community and show some new media.
We are crunching heavy right now trying to get it all ready for MSUC phase 4
We have just under two months and we are feeling the crunch.

So before I post the new images I would like to put something out there...
We are looking everywhere high and low for more animators riggers and coders.
Hell at this point we are crunching so hard we could use anyone... in any area...who am I trying to kid right :)

Anyways if your one of these solo guys or gals who dont have a home or a mod to call home...drop me a line. This would be an amazing opportunity for those of you who wanted to get into the MSUC and did not.

We are a dedicated mod team
We have some really great things to offer
Send me an email...

Finished Preacher Carbine

[Brits__Hit]

Both look fantastic, especially the modeling work on the blacksmith. That said, there's something about his texture that hides some of the intricate details of the normal map. It's like it's not as apparent. Dunno...

The gun looks badass. Nothing wrong with it

[Warm Gun]

Here is another update on our progress...
We are really pushing hard to make the Phase 4 deadline...
Aug 21st you guys will have a build to play.

[Warm Gun]

haahh thanks for the bump there Steve :)

[Brits__Hit]

Everything looks top notch. The modeling job on the chick is incredible

[Warm Gun]

This game is beastly...
We are in deep and this is sink or swim time for us. We are still in need of animators... and we would love another rigger, someone who can navigate UT3 and help get all our assets in. So basically I'm here today to bring you an update and ask for some help. This will be our last news post until we release, so keep you're fingers crossed.

The Levels
For our first release we are set to showcase three levels, One level for each mode of gameplay. Here are some of the latest WIP images from Heart of Darkness and Red River Canyon.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/redriver3.jpg

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/hod1.jpg

Props - Our 3D team has really started to shine and we are getting a steady stream of assets coming in. The new levels we are making are more urban and we are really going to expand after the phase 4 deadline. Right now we are just pounding out the existing levels to make them as polished as possible.

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/gallows.jpg

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/fallen_angel.jpg

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/ctf-flags.jpg

Characters & Weapons - We are proud to say we have all six of our characters set up and rockin... Only we are still on the fence with a few of them, some might not make the cut for the first release. As for weapons, well they are sort of dictating who makes it in... haah so some of you long time watchers might know what weapons fit what character :)

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/blacksmith1.1.jpg

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/shaman_staff.jpg

Videos - We have really had to scale back a bunch of things because of the lack of animators, and thankfully Ryan Barrett has stepped in. Ryan is working his butt off right now making our game come to life, and I cant thank him enough.

http://www.moddb.com/mods/warm-gun/videos/blacksmith-run-test

We also have our new website up and running with forums. We are hoping that when we release the mod we will have a few people signed up to post us feedback and find bugs. We will also be looking for testers and a good beta team to help us make this game tight as possible.
So please feel free to sign up... and bare with us while it gets polished.

Thanks again for checking us out and keeping our drive alive, Keep it Locked N' Loaded.

[Warm Gun]

We fought hard to make the phase four deadline in the MSUC and we managed to release a "developers build" but its not what we wanted to represent us. We want you all to know that the build we posted was for a contest... so if your expectations were not met take into consideration that this was a developers build.

Our commitment to you and to UT3 engine:

Even if the contest does not pan out and we do not get the invite to phase 5 we still plan on releasing a proper build for the public to download and play. We are not jumping ship and leaving the engine, we are not folding the team, we are not going to quit... We started out down this road and we plan on committing to it and making this game a reality.

We are going to go harder than ever before and over the next few months we plan on making this game come to life. The Warm Gunners are here to stay and we will bring you a proper Alpha when its ready.

So lets move on and get to the goods...
Characters

Our character team has been rocking away and making huge strides, Patrick Paquin, Dane Brennand and Omar Amador are raising the bar, we hope you like the new models and as always please drop us some feedback, we are trying to get them as solid and pro as possible.

Here are some examples of it in a colored light environment:

http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8654/skin_shader.jpg

Before I sign off for this update I'd like to add a few things...
We are looking for concept artists and a web site artist, so if you have some 2D skills and want to join a dedicated crew thats making some headway... drop me a line.

Thanks for your patience and feedback as we keep trucking along... Warm Gun is coming to life and things are getting interesting...

[Brits__Hit]

What can I say, everything looks amazing. Who ever did those high poly characters should be working in the industry if he or she isn't already.

Lookin forward to release.
