"THE WELCOME WAGON!

Hello out there!

The NMRiH team is continuing it's streak of progress and picking up new faces and talent along the way. We've managed to round out the modeling department with three new guys. Please welcome to the team: Sporkeh, Machine, and Kan3. Take a moment to give them a warm welcome and enjoy some render shots of the models that they have created so far for us:

We admit that it took quite a while, but we finally got a hold of a talented character animator. One that will be able to put all of our favorite zombie motions into virtual reality! His name is Vok and here is some of the great work that he has been doing for us:

Please keep in mind that these animations are still considered "work in progress".




The Mapping Department:


As usual, our mapping department has been keeping a steady pace in the creation and production of the wonderful environments for our game. The department has also had a leadership shakeup with Generalvivi stepping down due to his professional obligations and 2d-Chris taking control of the department. Speaking of 2d-Chris, here is a new shot of his "Citylife" map that he has just about completed:

To accommodate our gameplay mode requirements and stressing for the most custom content possible in our maps, SlimZ has overhauled his map "Cabin Fever" and would like to show off some new shots of it to all of you:

Veteran mapper; Darth_Brush has been simultaneously working on a few different maps. From the chaotic streets of "City of Dawn" to the derelict halls of the hospital in "Final Stand", he is surely keeping himself busy. Take a look at some shots of these two gems:

Darth_Brush also suprised the team this month with the revealing of a map that has been in the planning stages for a few years now; "The Harvest". Kan3 also helped out a great deal creating an amazing 3d skybox for this map as well. Here are some teaser shots:

The Programming Department:


Despite his recent move from the United Kingdom to Canada, Pongles has still given us great updates in his department. Currently he is working on:

* A fully-funtional random item spawning system.
* Implementing the newly-created zombie animations.
* Setting up controls and a backend for the UI menus.

"Our friend Blink over at Interlopers.net recently interviewed 3pidemiC from our team and have posted it along with a few new media shots over at their great website.

Here is a little snippet from the interview:

Can you update us on the current production situation of the mod? Are you managing to implement all the features you planned to?

Honestly, we are on the most straightforward streak of progress that we have ever had in our four years of development. Our developer builds of the game are being updated with new content and everything is really coming together. We’re certainly making sure that we have all of our code done and ready before we implement the simple things such as weapons or sounds. A mistake that most mods make (and a mistake that we have made in the past) is that they get simple things such as weapons and hand models in game, but that’s it. There is no code that really is the foundation of the game itself.

As far as our features go, I think that we’re making surprising progress in there. I say surprising because there are things being implemented that we never thought were possible. We’ve already implemented our first gameplay mode; Survival into our build. Our zombie AI has been perfected to function in a way that a true zombie fan would be proud of. The infection system has been written, oh yes, and barricading is just about done too.

Of course there are some very ambitious things that we thought of and were suggested way back in the day that (at least right now) will not be there. So things such as driveable vehicles and invisible cyber-zombies ( ) will not be in the first set up builds.

So head on over there now and read the rest of the interview and support a great website. I'm sure that this will answer a few burning questions that some of your had.

"Ho! Ho! Ho!

We're back in action! That's right, The No More Room In Hell team is moving full steam ahead with progress of the mod. Our staff has been putting many hours into the content that is now filling up our builds. At this current moment we have caught up to, and then passed the progress of the "old builds" of our mod that were revealed over a year ago to everyone. Sound confusing? Here's a quick and simple explanation:

After revealing the in-game screenshots from our "old builds" over a year ago, the team went through some hard times. FTP hijacking, hard drive crashes, and team members leaving forced the progress of the mod into a recession. All of that changed once we found new dedicated staff members. Our old code was completely redone to make it much more efficient and stable. This means that we had to take our game code and build it from the ground up (again). Once that was complete, we began to add our content back into the new builds. Now we have stable developer builds being released on a weekly basis that are featuring more and more content, and of course new items are being made and implemented as well! We are confident enough at this point to release some new media as well as bits of news to you guys."
